I came back to Canada to try to make it work recently 2 months ago... just to see with my own eyes that the tech job market is broken, searching for a job on current conditions may take 6 to 12 months... problem is that wait whatever time it takes to get a job paying current rent prices 2,200 or more per month plus expensive food and any other thing you do cost money so it is going to send you to bankruptcy or spend all your savings in few months... so... I better return back and wait for better times...
Wow, where are you from? This comment is so true!! If people think these comments are lying, take mine as a testament. When are you planning to return? After next year's elections? I feel everything's broken now in this country. There's too much demand for jobs because of a terrible lack of jobs. Economy is grown by no. Of people, not taking into account the GDP per capita which is so less right now. Also the increase in jobs marketed by statistics Canada is in no. Of part time gigs.
No we're not lol Wtf? I have friends who were born here and I have who weren't. I think right now, some Canadians are very discouraged because the influx of people are straining the country's resources. And before anyone says anything, yes I was born here. It is also doesn't help that the latest arrivals aren't really assimilating and just sticking to their own.
This is true believe it or not, but I must say with time you can get to be friends but it takes ages compared to other countries in which is much faster to make friends with

Is there any one is here that i can create network in area like psychological counselling, Social Worker , Community Support Service .
There are countless channels and videos out there recycling the same advice about adapting to life in Canada. It's hard not to feel like some of these creators are just capitalizing on the trend to make money on RU-vid. If they've truly adapted to life in Canada, why are they still churning out content on how to do it? It’s almost like trying to learn how to fly from chickens-where are the eagles at? Why not just take their entire channel concept and do it too is that what they are teaching us?
Just want to let you know that I have been watching your videos prior to and after moving to Canada from France. I just started my new job here in Montreal this week and you have been a great source of information and inspiration! Keep up with the good work Anna and Anastasia! Thank you!
As someone who moved to Canada from South Korea, I can confidently say that job market in Canada is not particularly bad at all compared to that of South Korea. If you speak good enough English and respect Canadian culture, Canadians will welcome you. More and more people who used to be nice to immigrants are turning their backs bc they started to realize some immigrants aren’t really respectful. Such is a sad reality.
I know I sound like a broken record in every video you make but hear me out. I moved to Canada a year ago to BC and moved to saskatoon past 2 months trying desperately to get a rental but they will not rent me anything even though I have 1,500$ budget and have excellent landlord references ! they just reject me one say because I'm from middle east one says I got better offer , one bedroom basement is 1600$ without utilities in saskatoon now ! We are becoming homeless so we decided to book a one way ticket back home on early September , we tried so hard to make it in Canada unfortunately Canada and the people rejected us from day one , it was an eye opening experience , Canada is not as good as people make it look like . life is not just beautiful landscapes , no matter where you are stay even if you are in warzone ! and definitely avoid Saskatchewan at all costs !
If you want work in Canada, there are only two places to get work: low-wage school-bus drivers, and low-wage health-care jobs (Personal Support Workers, and Licensed Practical Nurses). As a PSW, you will have to work at 2 to 4 different facilities each and every day just to get 8 hours of work per day, and you make around minimum wage of $16.55 for your work. As a LPN, you make a bit more, at around $25 per hour. The typical 2 bedroom apartment cost around $3,000 per month. In Canada you get taxed about 20% of your pay, so you only get to keep $20 of that $25 per hour, so if you are making $25/hr you only get $20/hr after taxes, and if you work the typical 40-hour work week, you only get $800 per week, which is $3,200 per month. So after you pay for your rent, you will have $200 exta to buy food. Good luck surviving on that.
We’ve made a great video on how to survive on minimum wage - How to Live on Minimum Wage in Toronto | Canada ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5NwSJRFLBCs.html
Why would u leave above your means? Look for a more affordable apartment and aim for better days. No one in his/her right mind would have an expenditure of 95% without proper adjustments. Did u come to this life to surfer?
This is not the worst job market ever. Ask anyone in B.C. who was looking for work in the 1980s, or Newfoundland before the offshore oil boom. It has been much worse than in the past. The last few decades have been, and still are, a good time to be looking for work. That doesn’t mean the current market isn’t worse than a few year ago, but it’s far from the worst. Employers often have unrealistic expectations and are hesitant to hire those without experience. If you’re looking for work, the advice given on this channel is excellent. If you’re new to Canada, establishing a network and paying it forward are the most important things you can do.
Networking is useless unless one is in a network. No one ever was able to explain how to start Networking if we have network and no one to introduce. No one ever explain how to network outside major cities.
Just reach out to strangers, attend events in your area. Check out this video, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XNNlkpTWUhY.htmlsi=eDD0U4CnwE3zXuRU
I have a list of website links of all major canadian companies in the industry I plan to work in ( gaming) and based on job opportunities in the career section therein apply directly. Is this one sensible way of approach to get a break?
Hello, thank you for your efforts to make these helpful contents. I want to ask, which province will you advise a medical doctor coming to Canada for the first time land in - considering job availability prior to getting a licence to practice?
Perhaps look into licencing steps and requirements in different provinces and choose the one more suitable to you. I've heard Atlantic provinces are trying to make licencing process for medical professionals more straightforward. More information is available on Canada.ca and websites of provincial licencing and regulatory bodies
Currently I'm in India and in EEP. As I'm not in location and working from home country I'm finding it difficult to find jobs in Canada. Either you need to have offer letter or Canadian work experience and I don't have either of then and this loop is going in circles. Please help.
Image if you as a Indian can't find a job, here in Canada you are the people with more opportunities because your community is huge. In some companies they don't look ours resumes because they know we are from another country
@@GrimanezaS Exactly, im from abroad and have a canadian working holiday visa but seems impossible to get a job, cant even begin to understand what is like for canadians. Open doors with a country of 1.5 billion people is not good.
How soon before arriving in the country do you recommend to start applying for jobs? And If for example I get a job offer 5 months before I arrive in the country, is there any recommendations on what to do
Depends on your industry and profession. 3 months before arrival is a good timeline to give yourself to get a feel of the job market, understand the dynamics and prepare well. If the offer is extended before you’re in Canada, you can either negotiate the starting day with the employer or they just won’t wait and take someone else.
I am a videographer/ editor, with 6 years of experience, and will be moving to Canada in November I have been looking for jobs in Canada(LinkedIn) for a while but it’s not been easy. Your videos have been very helpful to me on knowing everything about Canada .
Thank you - glad it was helpful! Consider reaching out to wedding photography studios and branding agencies. They typically frequently hire for new projects.
