Labour Market Information
The various levels of government do not arrange jobs for people. They have programs that will assist you to find yourself a job, but these programs will not get a job for you. Anyone who tells you that they can guarantee a job is probably selling something and you will find yourself out money, still without a job.
Regulated Professions and Trades
Some professions and trades are regulated by professional regulatory bodies. These are provincial, not national. Your international qualifications may not be accepted in Ontario, and you may need to get further training or take exams in order to re-qualify. One of your first steps will be to find out how your qualifications compare with standards in Ontario and, sometimes, Canada.
The licensing process can be long and tedious. You may have to pay for credential assessment, certification or examinations. Find out as much about the process as you can and start to prepare early, if possible, even before arriving in Ontario.
But, also find out if you really need to get licensed. Do you really need to get licensed in order to find a job? No, and being licensed is no guarantee of getting work. There are many newcomers who have spent much time and money to get their license in their field and still are unemployed.
Find out what works for you.
Credential Assessment
Get your credentials evaluated and recognized before you come to Canada. Find out what you need to do, how much it costs and who recognizes the evaluation you do. You'll find that most evaluations assess your education, but not necessarily your work experience and what you've learned on the job. So, you need to figure out how to present this important information in a way that employers can understand.
Getting an assessment done will at least give you an idea of how your education is viewed in comparison to Canadian expectations. You will likely be doing a credential assessment as part of your immigration application. Be sure to choose the right assessment, which you can use for employers and other purposes.
Read this article about getting your credentials assessed.
Research, Research, Research
Even if you just do some basic company research as part of your Labour Market Information work, at least do that. Read this article to find out more about how to research companies in your industry or sector.
Also, the hiring process, resume expectations and many other things about your job search will be different from industry to industry. It is essential for you to find out what employers expect from you. Network, find a mentor, do whatever it takes for you to have a good understanding of what employers are looking for. Don't just find out what they want in workers, but also how they should be approached, so that your job search is successful.
f you thought immigrating to a new country and starting your life over again was going to be easy, think again. The immigration experience can be very fulfilling for you and your family. There are many examples of successful immigrants in Canada. In fact, many of the most successful companies in this country were started by immigrants. But, it is not an easy process, especially in the first few years.
Know what you are getting yourself into. Have a plan of action for your arrival. Prepare, be prepared and know what to expect.
Only then can your immigration experience start with a positive first step when you land. |
