How to Find a Job in Canada

The modern global world, in fact, does not bind people to the particular place of living. There are thousands of ways and possibilities to challenge oneself in other social environments, to see the world and enrich you with new experience and impressions. There is also nothing impossible in getting a new job in Canada in particular.

In Canada as well as all over the world, the employer’s wish is the decisive factor for getting a job. That’s why the first thing to do is to find somebody who will hire you for a particular position. In general, there are a lot of vacancies including jobs for foreigners. If you have found an employer ready to hire you, he has to advertise an open job vacancy in the local press and on the Internet. At the same time, the employer submits an application to the local Ministry of Labour, asks to give him permission for hiring exactly you, and explains why there are no Canadian citizens suitable for this position (for example you are a rare specialist, or Canadians do not want to work in this position because of low salary).  The local Ministry of Labour has a month for considering the application. The Ministry will most likely issue a permit for your employment on condition that a Canadian employee won’t be found during that month.

After getting such permission, an invitation and a copy of the contract from a Canadian employer, you have to collect a package of documents. It includes the following documents translated into English: a diploma with a supplement, a work record card, a passport, references from a Ukrainian employer, where you worked on the position similar you want to obtain in Canada, and a certificate of non-conviction.  In addition to this, it is required to receive the international IELTS certificate for language skills with the score not less than 6.5 points out of 9 possible. Also, it preferably to provide documents on the ownership of movable or immovable property in Ukraine, a bank account and confirm having a child, spouse or elderly parents. All this is done to prove that you want to get a temporary job in Canada, a lot of things hold you in Ukraine and you are not going to stay forever across the ocean. With these papers you have to go to the embassy, pay a visa fee of $150 CAD, have an interview and, if everything goes well, get a visa.

After this, you must undergo a medical examination in one of the Ukrainian clinics indicated by the embassy (examination by a therapist, x-ray, blood and urine tests). The visa is issued for half a year with the possibility of extending in Canada to a maximum of three years.

Usually, the employer makes a contract for the duration of the visa and then can extend it. After two years of legal residence in the country, you can apply for a residence permit.

Canadian Permanent Residence Visas

Today’s article is about immigration to Canada.
The Canadian state due to its possibilities stimulates the immigration. The fact that the country possesses large and mostly underpopulated areas greatly contributes to immigrate. There are a couple of ways to immigrate to Canada: immigration on professional trading skills programs, business immigration, self-employment, sponsorship immigration, immigration via studying in Canada, obtaining of a refugee-status.

1. Programs of professional trading skills immigration
Programs of professional trading skills immigration are designed for attracting to the Canadian economy the experts of the needed professions. The list of professions is quite wide; however, the requirements are quite high as well. The obligatory requirement is knowledge of the English or French languages. Depending on the profession there are different requirements for the work experience and qualification. The choice of applicants is made on a competition basis, and this contest is quite dense.
2. Business immigration
Business immigration implies the opening in Canada his own business or investing funds in already working Canadian enterprise. This way will not be suitable for everyone, as it is connected to significant costs.
3. Self-employment
Self-employment is attracting to the life in Canada people, it is possible to say with the world name: sportsmen, artists, writers, representatives of other artistic professions. Of course, this way is also suitable not for everyone.
4. Sponsorship immigration
Sponsorship immigration implies the invitation from relatives, who will guarantee the financial maintaining of your residence in Canada. A residence permit is offered in case of a positive decision of a migration department of Canada.
5. Immigration via studying
Immigration via studying is the most real and perspective way for young people. Studying in the Canadian university or some Institute gives the opportunity not only obtain a Canadian diploma but during the study to find a place of future work.
6. Obtaining of a refugee-status
Canada offers protection to those who are subjected to persecution in their motherland, and whose abode outside Canada threatens to them with tortures, cruel treatment or unusual cruel punishments. This can be connected to intolerance to race, sex, religious beliefs; with political beliefs, membership in certain social groups, civil war, military conflict, violation of an individual's rights; the inability of integration in the host country.
As it is seen, to immigrate to Canada is quite complicated, but at the same time possibly. In order to succeed it is necessary to knuckle down, but everything can be achieved if desired. Moreover, migration services market there are many organizations offering help in the current issue.

All the roads lead to… Canada

Of course, the name of this text contains a part of a joke. However, for people, who are seriously concerned about changing the country of living, questions become essential ones on whether to go and where to go, and if change then to change what? Because it only seems that everywhere is good where we don’t belong, but in fact, there are few countries that have the higher welfare level than we have. And there are poor practical possibilities to emigrate.

Why Canada?

Canada is one of the few countries, the government of which encourages and stimulates the immigration. This promotes some factors. First of all, the Canadian territory is the second in the world and the majority of its areas are undeveloped. In this respect unlike the majority highly developed countries, Canada has large resources. The majority of the territories are in the zone of severe climate, but cold winters are nothing in comparison with severest drouths and acute shortage of fresh water, which often face African and Asian countries. That’s why migration processes will settle people further and further to the North, and Canada in this list if the first lines. It gives way to the number of water resources only to Russia.

Second of all, Canada cannot show great results of the demographic growth. The natural demographic growth equals practically to zero. Replenishment with citizens from outside is vital to a Canadian state. The essential immigration is one of the criteria of development. So, immigration to Canada will go on henceforth. There is no background for now that it will be closed.

Third of all, the Canadian state realizes the whole package of immigration programs on attracting to Canada professionals and experts from all over the world. Immigration via professional programs allows roughly saying to increase the qualitative composition of the population. Of course, Canada needs ordinary working hands as well. But the emphasis is on attracting to the country the high-qualified experts.

The quite wise immigration policy of the Canadian state allows regulate competently the immigration flow and offering the immigrants high-quality living conditions, that despite the high contest among applicants, it attracts the willing people from all over the world (including very developed countries) to immigrate to Canada.

Peculiarities of Immigration to Canada

Canada is a country that was created by the immigrants and a country that attracts immigrants from all over the world. Moreover, alongside with Australia, Canada is one of the most convenient countries for a living, that’s why there are always a plenty of those who want to settle in this country.
To tell the truth, the Canadian state has always held quite a liberal immigration policy. It is impossible to say that theoretically someone couldn’t live for Canada. However, theory and practice are different things. Moreover, the Canadian real immigration possibilities are not boundless and it is quite difficult to satisfy demands of all those who wants to immigrate.

What is necessary to immigrate?

In any case, there are a plenty of legal ways to immigrate to Canada. There are many federal and regional programs aimed at attracting of highly qualified immigrants to the country. To achieve such a goal it is necessary first hand to have good job opportunities in the Canadian labor market, and secondly, it is essential to know English, or French, or ideally, both of these languages. Nevertheless, these are far not all the requirements that the participants are subjected.

The problem of the Russian-speaking migrants became the fact that lately, the Canadian immigration services have a tendency everything else being equal, to give preference to applicants from China and the countries of South-Eastern Asia. Moreover, the immigration trend of the majority liberal countries is Syrian refugees. The authorities accept them without turn, excuse my comparison, because of they are poor and miserable. I have seen those “poor and miserable” in an incredible amount in Istanbul in 2015. It looks like millions of Gypsies in the streets of the megalopolis, with no shy of Allah they panhandle, steal, except that they do not ask to tell fortunes. I digress here from the topic.

The solution

The easiest way of the emigration is applying to a good agency of immigration and employment assistance abroad. What does it give to you? You don’t need to “reinvent the wheel” yourself. Professionals, who deal with it by occupation, will always help you to sort out the juridical nuances and demands that are presented, prepare all the documents and consult in any question that interests you and soberly assess your chances. In addition, from the very beginning the company will offer only true variants, because, like were previously said, in theory, it is possible to do almost everything, and in practice, it is not that way. The professional support is essential in the current question.

With the help of supporting company, like LCM Company, your process of immigration will be much easier and calmer. The team of professionals will provide you with all the needed information, necessary for you.
