job market in Canada

  • Hello everbody

    I have applied for immigration to Canada and am keen on starting a new life there. Am married with a 2 year old. I have 10 years of experience in the media and advertsing industry in India.

    I also have an MBA in Marketing from a recognised university. What are my chanes of finding a job when I land. Is the media industry welcoming to newcomers?

    Concerned,

    Manvinder

  • it depends

    the job market is welcoming depending what you have to offer. If you have the desire of proving yourself, you will succeed.

  • you will succeed, however

    you must keep an open mind. Once you arrive you may find that the exact position that reflects what you have done in the past does not exist and that you need to adjust.

    My recommendation is to get some experience in Canada. So do not be too picky with your first job salary wise. If you find something slightly lower than in your home country, the plus side is that you will have Canadian experience and employers will take somebody with Canadian experience (whatever experience) 100 times faster than somebody without it.

    good luck

    I would say don't waste your time and money. This is what happens to everyone. It eats their brain what if everything gets better and I get a perfect career. Please listen to me and stay where you are. You are safer there. This is an orginized crime which involves besides government, all the employment institutes in Canada. They organizedly use the same language and fool people to come here, when they come, to stay here. That's how the economy keeps up in this country, NEW BLOOOD

  • 'Skilled Worker' Wait times, without Job Offer? 5 Years!

    Citizenship and Immigration Canada has released the latest average wait times for Skilled Worker Visa to Canada:

    60 Months (That is 5 years!)

    You are better off exploring the Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) - available in most provinces. Wait time for jobs in this program is 12-18 months instead.

    no matter what you hear, there is ALWAYS a bit of luck involved in finding jobs (in any country). Now, your first job may not be your ideal job, but you will get the experience and references. Persistance ALWAYS pays
