Hi friends.
In this video, we'll see how's job market in CANADA
Assume you take a Permanant residence or if you're plan to apply for it
While doing so or once done, after you land in Canada
Would you get a job here and how long will it take, how this process looks
For whom it would be easy, what all process would fetch you job and duration
Like wise we are going to address all your doubts regarding the process
Those who wants to apply and in spite of all this struggle who ever wishes to move
to Canada for such a life, this might help you to decide whether its worthy
or if your PR has been approved and you will move in 3-4 months to canada
During such point how one should be mentally peapared, to get a job here
With this video, you can decide up to a certain point.
since 9 years I'm at canada, I've attended and conducted many interviews
mistakes often comitted by candidates,
as an evaluator how one would select a
immigrant candidate, what all would be expected out of them
Expectations would be discussed here,
most commonly working Indians assume that we apply PR using our experience
in such case, soon as we land at canada will our experience count while applying
Be it any field HR, IT. say you hold 8 years of experience as Team lead
So expecting i deserve a job soon as i arrive there, then thats bit tricky
As long as experience is concerned,
they prefer your canadian experience
Now you might wonder one who holds 8-10 years experience in canada
Lets assume its IT.
& might earn more than 100,000 Canadian dollars Per Year
Since we're experienced too.
even if we don't earn same, we might get 80k
If you expect this way, let me tell you. it doesn't work like that
Prime importance will be for canadian experience else, you sould start fresh
For instance, assume you're developer or networking related work force in IT
If you have 8 years indian experience,
you may have to still start fresh wen applying for your first job
Only around 40k - 60k Canadian dollars per annum
is what 99.9% people can earn most often
Even if you would expect more, employers might not offer more to new
but once you attain 1 or 2 years of experience,
your past experience adds
and growth chart might be rapid
if you're a technically sound candidate,
if one can reach $100k mark in 5-10 years
if you're technically sound, your first earning might range around $50k
But within 3 years you can jump above $100k, if you switch or certify yourself
by adding experience & skills through certifications
if you do all this, your job growth might turn rapid
Its not limited to IT even for technical field getting job might be easy
Prehaps if you belong to management field, your canadian experience is basic
Because Indian style of management process is completely different
Vice-versa
It'll take minimum 1 - 2 years for you to adapt to this canadian standards
So employers might treat you only like a new hire, or like a fresher
Ok. If you say. I received my PR and i'll land on canada on Jan 10
How long will it take for getting first job,
Most hiring happens from March
until september it'll be really tight schedule of hiring because of budget
Only during such period, they'll try to hire many.
I mean most of fields
If you are field specific, time lines are
bit tough to spell as its need and budget specific
overall in a broaded prespective, mass hiring happens during March - Spetember
During October to december, budgets would've exhausted and hiring freezes
So if you land on October and feel sad for delay, you should be patient
Such situations might prevail, doesn't matter any field technical or non technical
whether its people facing, management etc. might face such issues
If you land in prime time around march, and there is no hire freeze yet
didn't get a job so far in spite of spending 1- 2 months
on a standard note may it be any job vacancy, first job after leaving from india
without canadian experience while applying if you are very lucky
You might get a job in a month time. Assuming you have a referral
If your friend is working for a company perhaps same role is open then
you might get job easily by virtue of referral
If in case you lack it, and you arrive up on sloe hope on your field knowledge
when you lack contacts and you freshly arrived normally it takes 1-6 months
end up getting your new job. So one must mentally prepare theirselves
in worst case scenario you might end up not getting a job even after 6 months
regarding which you must mind budget is supposed to be planned in advance.
Assume you arrive as a family you may have big expenses around $2k monthly
Dedicated to your family, rent etc. Which accounts to more ₹1 lakh in Indian money
one might wonder how to face all these, but if not technical job. Part-time will do
it might fetch upto $2500 monthly. that shouldn't be a problem.
but you must be ready to do such odd jobs in order to survive with expenses
So be mindful of this. If you come to canada what sort of jobs are easy to get
Since IT itself is a broader area,
In IT in Cyber & network security are in trend
if you have proper certifications in those fields
with some experience in it then chances of you getting the job is pretty high
even if it is a low paying job, provided you join
swiftly experience you can get in the job is good
even in the developing and which is very hot
if you are a SAP consultant or techno functional person then
there are chances you might end up getting a job
but if you seek for or a job which is the need of the hour then it keeps fluctuating
you can take it like which keep changing every 6 months
So that you haev to keep checking
even if it is cyber security
& it's hot, you have some experience cannot
assume that one might get a job within a month
it completely differs from person to person while doing this process
for instance in a development role there might be
a thousand technical things which are different
in that where are you strong
and in that specific field of strength
How many copanies do have vacancies will play a vital role
so one cannot generalize on what skills you can gain to get a specific job
but in a hot market like I just said with two examples
In the management side lot of PMP vacancies are there for people with good experience
but there might also arise a situation where you might need to start as a fresher
Which is a point to remember
another question that comes into everybody's mind is
Will my degree be valued?
I have an Engineering & MBA degree
there are many engineers
Whereas engineers with MBA can be filtered
& will that be accountable in Canada?
Well, it's just a minor criteria
TO be frank, you can take it as a "NO"
if you have a diploma or a degree, when you land here with a PR
if you look at job needs there would be some
technical things kept as filter screening
the job description would have all the details
on what key skills A person should process
and would not consider your degree or MBA as the the main criteria
they give a lot of importance to certifications
if there is a role and it requires you to complete list of certifications
then kindly work on those certifications
try to complete all the certifications in India
many candidates profile has this course completed course completed thing
they would have attended the course
but would'nt have taken exams & completed it,
which is not accepted
only if you take the complete the course & pass
you are actually eligible in first place
So work on those persectives of the process
if you come asking me "why aren't degrees taken as a Priority proof" it's because
That's a fact because 99% of all who arrives at Canada are engineering gaduates
or MBA, BSc, a Business graduate,
HR management people, almost everyone has a degree who come from India
So there comes the comer the certification part
The role's need
& if you have completed the course successfully,
then only there are chances you might get a job
Another easy way is, right after you arrive here
enroll yourself into courses that would help you fetch a specific job
It can be a Diploma program
it can be a certification pogram
& by doing this as a part time, you can develop your contacts
at place you are pursuing the course or when you add
your effort in your resume, it automaically adds value
So forgetting all your Indian Degree's
Either do certifications from India
or do few certification courses after you land here
which you can either do on your own
or join classes to help you tremendously to land in a job
If you ask me the proess & steps to apply, in simple terms
There are 3 areas which are considered by the consultants
& HR of an organization here
Keep your resume updated on Monster website
& came on Indeed site
LinkedIN is an important space where your resume should be up to date
Your technical strengths & keywords used should be strong
if you are professional in using few critical softwares
then it should be definitely mentioned on your resume
if you prepare your resume properly in this aspects
keep it up to date and keep your bad as #Opentowork on LinkedIn
you can keep it #Opentowork when coming from India
where you might get calls requesting your landing dates
but I have also heard stories of not getting single call for 3 months
Then there would be few calls through which we
can attend interviews and end up getting a job
So by keeping resume updated on these 3 sites i.e., monster,
indeed and LinkedIn, there are high chances of you getting a job
Resume
many people make this mistake in their resumes
many of you would know about this process actually automatically
filters your resume using keywords you have put on it
it shouldn't have grammatical errors on it
for majority of jobs your resume should not exceed 2 pages
be it IT or Management backgrounds
if you are a doctor or an MBBS they would have 3-5 pages of resume but that's
a completely different criteria where we can talk about it in a different video
but excluding the medical field, all other fields
if your resume exceeds 2 pages
it would have many unnecessary details but even if you have humongous experience,
try to to constrain it to not exceed the 2 page limit before submitting
while applying from India we might think our good English would stand out
& would think thatit won't have gramatical errors & be firm on it's correctness
Please give your resume to many for reviews
There are freelancing websites, fiverr & that's one I use frequently
What i'll do is note down my skills & send it
to a freelancer on fiver for re-formating it
They would help you to re-format it to Canadian standards
Based on your field
Search & read reviews about who make resumes
Some may work on your resume for $100 & few may do it for $200
but it would be worth it!
Becaus they work on your resume, cover letter
& also give pointers to be updated on LinkedIn
This would help you keep your resume classy and free of errors
I'd suggest you to work on it as well
I get a lot of resumes with 5-6 pages of information
There won't be time for people to review it & if that's the case then
it simply means you are applyng without knowing the canaian standards
Those kind of profiles get automatically rejected
Those mistakes should be avoided & keywords are really important
which the resume creators know on which the systm would filter
When yu submit a resume, the HR's system filters a few &
which then reaches he HR & then ater few rejections, goes to the Manager end
& they decide on who is to be calle d for a screening
So be very careful with your resume
As I mentioned about the 3 sites, many consultants may call you
& i youa ask me on ho that works, I'd say don't worry
It won't be a hassle like in India
If there's a need you would not be requested for money
as if the consultants get you a job, the company pays them
So you won't face that problem
Ask if it's a full time, contract or a part-time role
& don't be picky with pricing & salary if it's you first job
Consultats mostly try to get you the job
If it's a popular job, you might get upto 5 calls a day!
It your field already has a crowd working & is common
Developing , a standard Networking
a PMP Project management or a HR all has
standard role where many cadidates are working, you might get lesser calls
Thn you may get few calls but don't lose hope & keep trying
Canada also has this reference thing that works here
they would ask you for 3 references where they can enquire about you
Where after your interview process is done
you would be asked for this info for which you should be ready
Where, if you're a fresher the reference can be a family or friend
or can be your previous employer
but an easier way to get a job is through reference
by a friend who is already working for an organization
Who can refer you telling them about your arrival
& technical skill sets to call you for an interview
which would be the fastest path to your job seek
If you ask like "What if I don't have a reference?"
It's a common fea on how to trust a person who is new
That's very much there here even after getting your job..
You should keep your contacts fresh
If you're working for an employer & even if you don't like the job there
if you fight or quarrel, you will miss that contact
it should be a decent withdrawl as it might affect your reputation
Even if you have 5 years of Canadian reference, references are a must
The employers would talk to know about your previou work & roles
If the your would hire them again &
why did the person leave the organization kinda stuffs
So it'll only happen if you stay in good touch
When you are networking with many people, you might get many new roles here
Eventually, so references are really important
Netwrking with people is very important
keep doing it reguarly
& many on linkedIn to me text that "I'm coming from India"
& if they could be referred by someone here then
for example, is not possible as one might not know your skills or performance
& if you do so, it would set you back
considering it as a spam since you're randomly pinging someone for help
So...
As one refers you
only happens if you're trustworthy
The reputation of the person referring you should not be spoilt because of you!
So these are some points
So you maintain your relationships & network well
Which can help you get a job when you land in Canada
Eventhough I didn't mention about specific job roles,
you would have got a basic idea about work culture & system in Canada
& even if not for job but to help you in your worst
case scenario at Canada, I hope this video has helped
other than that, if you want to watch more such videos
