How to GET A JOB in Canada really fast in one to two weeks (2 proven ways) | Living in Canada

[@mnava4290]

Getting job means being a likeable person. Qualifications are sometimes set aside for a person who smiles, makes interviewer comfortable and relaxed.

[@DeeShee-eo1up]

Its tough here as an international student, i used to compare the job market back in my country where if i applied a job atleast companies call me back. Here in canada theres is so little response or more rejection. There is some zoom interviews i got but hr just let me wait in the screen and cancel it. Im lucky that I have family that supports me or else ill be homeless. Also, i face like alot of discrimination too because im asian. Anyways, still fighting to get a job to atleast to not rely too much on my family.

[@victoriak6954]

In these cases it is important to have a network and friends. Might not be possible for newcomers, as myself. Other than that, makes sense.

[@LivinginCanada]

If you study here, you'll have a network pretty soon!

[@franklinrebutoc9991]

Yes right networks always help but you have to be prepared to show your qualifications with true credentials & experience.

[@Ara198826]

it is all lies , I arrived in Canada for 2 months , there are no jobs at all , zero , and I have high qualifications including 8 years of experience , the only jobs that are available are labour and janitorial

[@LivinginCanada]

There are jobs, you may just not have found one that matches your qualifications.

[@javafullstackdev]

Yes, you are correct, no jobs at this point of time, you just push your resumes into a black hole.

[@yanissub]

What you say is the rough reality but please keep in mind that not all people, for example, newcomers have connections, and that potential connections are not always willing to help!

[@LivinginCanada]

That's true, but still you gotta try! If people don't try then there's zero chance. Also, connections can be made.

Hey, I loved your budget jacket video. Can you give some tips for jacket to buy on boxing day in a budget?

[@LivinginCanada]

Thank you! Research what you wanna buy in advance so once the price drops you can quickly buy it (because popular sizes/models/colors quickly sell out)

Hi, thank you for the very informative video about how to get a job in CA. My question is, when applying for a customer service job like in Starbucks, what type/kind/style of resume should be submitted if all of your experience are for skilled/professional worker? (Current status is student looking for a part time). Thanks in advance!

[@LivinginCanada]

Haha, very good question! I asked myself similar question when I was about to apply at Starbucks with my banking background. First, I summarized my one page professional background into just several lines (at the bottom) Then I added all the customer service related roles I could think of on the top. In the end, they want to know what you can do in practice and get a sense if you can be a good frontliner. So I went back as far as my college years and added a job I had in a restaurant, etc. Important also is to add a short summary on top stating a goal (e.g. to look for a part-time role where you can hone your customer service skills etc.) Hope this helps!

[@JamesInKunming]

What about opening a business with other immigrants, startup business, i think with the new situation we have to create jobs instead of waiting for something which may never come soon. I really want to start business with good immigrants, i don't have money but we can start together and build our own job and business

[@YMma1985]

Referring is not that easy for someone just landed, we don’t have friends yet, and when you ask someone you know, they all have the same answer: just apply on the website…

Hi, I am a game programmer, recently graduated from college in Toronto. I couldn't find a full-time position as a game dev for a few months now. So, I started to look for a temporary solution like a customer service. I came across this video and decided to go in person to Starbucks and some other places, unfortunately, everybody sent me to apply online. Do you have anything to suggest in this situation? Thank you in advance.

[@LivinginCanada]

After applying online, you could try taking a print out of your resume to the branch where you want to work and meet the manager to introduce yourself. That's what I did. I have a video specifically about working and getting a job at starbucks, perhaps you can check that out!

[@cheekymonkeygirl3378]

Can you do at-home jobs?

[@emikookime1849]

Not without a LOT of experience and very in-demand skills. Work from home jobs are generally for people who’ve proven themselves over many years in-person, or for contractors (people who work for themselves, eg. Therapists doing video calls, software engineers with a LOT of experience, etc). Though there may be some smaller side-hustles that can be done online-it’s just very difficult to navigate those because there’s a lot of scams and if you don’t have experience then you’re not getting a job to work from home. If you have a disability that requires you to work from home, there are some agencies that help disabled people find work. Otherwise, you could go to a temp agency to find work and get experience.

Please talk about differentiating one's skills.

[@Robck27]

I am myself an accountant in my home country, next year I will go and start again by searching a job. Any places you could recommend to me for an accountant entry job??

[@LivinginCanada]

I can't recommend anything specific, as accountants are needed everywhere. I guess it depends on your niche as well. Are you arriving with a PR/open work permit here? For foreigners (I'm assuming you are?) it's quite difficult to get a job in the beginning, without any connections and references. I would suggest just working anywhere you can to get those references. After your initial 1,2 jobs you have options for where you want to ideally work.

[@cheekymonkeygirl3378]

I would go to the job interview next time and tell the hiring manager he does not want to miss out on this excellent opportunity to hire me because I'm the best! 😤

[@stephaniepratt4834]

What if you don’t know anyone there if moving from another country??

[@emikookime1849]

It’s a very bad idea to move to a new country without a job already lined up, or connections, or a VERY in-demand education (eg. Journeyman license, civil engineer, accounting, dentist, etc). Anything in business is oversaturated. Everything in technology is oversaturated. Physical labour jobs are often also oversaturated depending on which part of the country. A lot of places will also throw out all applications with names that seem South Asian, specifically because it’s common for jobs posted online to get 500-800 applications alone from people who don’t even live in Canada and their resumes are all missing key qualifications and almost identical with things that don’t make a lot of sense (i.e. lying on resumes en masse). It screws over qualified CANADIAN south Asians as well because the employers have no choice but to disregard the hundreds of applications from south Asians since no one has time to manually scan through a thousand applications. It’s incredibly selfish from the people who do this to try and get access to Canada, but there’s also a level of desperation and delusion there with thinking Canada is a utopia. Can’t fault them for wanting better, but they can be faulted for doing it at other people’s expense. Canada has the highest youth unemployment rates it’s ever had right now because minimum wage jobs are being filled with immigrants. It’s gotten to a point where it’s a known phenomenon across the country that one (usually south Asian) immigrant gets into a management position and within 2-3 months, they fire every non-Indian and hire all immigrants. Often for less-than-legal wages. Housing is horrendous too with many places turning into slums and south Asian landlords breaking discrimination laws as well as tenant-landlord laws to cram as many people as possible into one tiny space (which is very illegal, and if authorities find out it gets shut down and then all the people who were there are homeless). Don’t move to a new country without a full proof plan, and things already lined up. That goes for anyone moving to any country. It’s basic common sense.

One of the easiest way to find a job is through acquaintances. Depending on the place you want to work at, you can also try to meet the manager and bring your resume with you.

[@aliwaqas8439]

Please also guide me Before the visit to Canada how many types are applications that I need to install on my mobile device and which SIM CARD and internet connection from where I can buy please give me all details.

[@LivinginCanada]

You can just wait until you arrive to download any apps, but I found 'rocketman app' to be useful for checking connections (transport, ttc). For Sim card it depends, if you're here long term as resident, there are many providers (koodo which I use, bell, freedom, telus, etc.). Koodo has worked well for me so far. If you're here as a visitor, I'd recommend you to check the overseas/roaming packages with the provider in your home country.

[@alejandrosarmiento1481]

@aliwaqas8439 If you really want to succeed in Canada, I suggest you start doing your own research and be more independent. It is really ANNOYING to meet someone who wants everyone to do everything for them. She made this video and you are being one of these annoying people who keeps asking basic questions. Go google it yourself.

I am looking for customer service job in the french part ,if you know somewhere let me know please. Also, i speak english and spanish i am professional but at the moment looking for basic costumer service job.

[@emikookime1849]

If you are fluent in French, then you will have a better time finding a customer service job in Ottawa, and possibly New Brunswick. I’m not sure about Quebec, but there you’d be competing against everyone who speaks fluent French with the local accent and dialect, most of who also speak English. In Ottawa, French is very sought-after but since English is the primary language, it’s still considered a sought-after skill to be fluent in French. A LOT of customer-service and client-facing jobs require the applicant to be bilingual and won’t consider people who only speak English. Spanish may or may not help, there are very few Spanish speakers in Canada but maybe it could help if you apply to an authentic Mexican restaurant or something like that.

[@aliwaqas8439]

Hi, kindly guide me on how do I get the job on a visit visa? and where I have to stay once I come to Canada on the visitor visa. While holding a visitor visa does the employer will take interview? kindly guide me end to end.

[@LivinginCanada]

A visitor visa is only for visiting, i.e. visiting family and friends, leisure, and doesn't allow one to work on it. I am not an immigration advisor so I cannot get further advice! In general, nowadays many interviews are held online, so as long as you can get an interview you can do it online from anywhere (as long as the employer is open to that). Getting a job is easiest when you are already in the country. Most foreigners would get a job here by applying for PR first, or study here and find a job right after. I believe there are some other programs for specific jobs/industries, you would need to google that. Good luck!

Do you have in-demand skills or education? Fluent in French? Do you have a journeyman license? Are you a nurse practitioner, dentist, or a civil engineer? Canada is current in an unemployment crisis with record numbers. It’s a very bad time to move here without a solid plan and/or strong connections.
