Canada is a land of opportunities for foreign nationals seeking to build a life abroad and hoping to secure a better life for themselves and their families. However, one of the biggest concerns asked by our client is how to search for a job in Canada as a PR visa holder. No matter how high your Canada PR point system score is, no one can predict your job prospects in Canada. While the search for the right employment is a bit daunting, it’s not impossible.
In this article, we have listed some tips and tricks that newcomers can follow to make the most out of their job search process in Canada.
Although, the majority of new permanent residents get jobs after arriving in Canada, having a job offer during the Canada PR visa process can make a big difference in your profile. Having a job offer automatically increases your Comprehensive Ranking System Score (CRS) and strengthens your chances of migrating to Canada. A job offer is also a significant eligibility requirement for some Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs).
Canada is in desperate need of immigrants as the country is experiencing labor shortages across several industries. Moreover, Canada’s aging population, low birth rate, and early retirement concern the government as there are not sufficient workers available to fill job vacancies left by the retirees.
