How to Look for a Job in Canada from Overseas
Many immigrants cannot afford to take a trip to Canada simply to job search. Here are ways to canvas the job market while overseas.
Job Boards
By looking at job boards yourself you can find occupations that match your skills and qualifications. There are job boards that cater specifically towards those who wish to work abroad like Moving to Canada, and Go Overseas. The Government of Canada also has a job bank section on their website. It includes information regarding jobs such as the qualifications, and expected pay.
Look at Canadian Companies
Every year a list of Canada’s Top 100 Employers is released. The list varies covering a range of businesses. On Canadastop100.com you can find the employer’s website. From there you can check which companies currently have job openings and see if you qualify.
Immigration Programs
Immigration programs are the best way to find a job from overseas since these job listings are specific to foreign workers. These programs are designed to address the needs of specific industries and communities in Canada using the help of foreign workers. Programs offered include the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot. This program brings skilled workers to rural communities in Canada. Similarly, the Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program brings workers to Atlantic Canada. There is also the Agri-Food Immigration Pilot which helps Canada’s agri-food sector meet their export needs with the aid of foreign workers.
