Canada Will Soon Become a Jobs Hub
By Jon J Nestorovic
Already the Minister of Canada's Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism- Jason Kenney is planning to bring in more than 10,000 skilled workers and professionals by 2012 to fill in the vacant positions in Canada. That's a lot considering the unemployment rates that are bursting out of every corner in the world, but Canada seems to shift on the other foot. Like China, Canada's economy is booming and the need for workers are ever-increasing and since there's not enough manpower within their local population, the government is looking elsewhere to help fill this gap. The good thing is that there are pools of talents found in every country of our planet, who are more than willing to live and work in Canada.
Now there are plenty of ways to get into Canada if you've got the proper skills and experience in the job, then you can apply as a skilled worker immigrant. However, you'll also need to have an invitation to work in Canada by your employer for you to qualify. Even its neighboring country America has been looking to Canada for job opportunities and as a matter of fact, the number of US citizens applying for temporary work visa has significantly increased and is expected to increase next year as well. This is due to the fairly recent 2009 economic recession that has crippled the US economy and left thousands jobless even until now.

Working In Canada - A Realizable Dream
By Fidelis Anene
Canada offers so many opportunities for people from all over the world to emigrate from their own country. You can apply to immigrate from your country of origin and when your application is successfully granted your permanent resident card (PR Card) is issued to you so that you can relocate. However, a lot of people have gotten jobs before immigrating which even enhances the immigration process.
You must bear in mind that despite immigrating with your Permanent Resident Card most people have actually gotten very good job offers from Canada while still living in their own country. If the job is certified by the Human Resources and Skills development Center, Canada (HRSDC), they no longer need to wait for their PR Card before they can travel and work. A visa and work permit is issued to the individual from his country of origin which enables him to comfortably work.
Although this person still has the status of a temporary resident he can still be working while waiting for his application for a permanent resident status to be approved.

Registered Nurse Salary Incentives - Are You Suited to the Highest Paying Nursing Jobs in Canada?
By Beverly OMalley
An examination of the nurse salary information reveals that the highest paying nursing jobs in Canada are in the northern territories. Registered nurse salaries there can range from $58,000 to $90,000 per annum. Relocation, housing, and northern living allowances can top up a registered nurse salary by another $23,000 per year. Bonuses and allowances are offered as incentives to attract and retain nurses in Canadian nursing jobs in the north.
Are Northern Nursing Jobs in Canada for You?
The three northern territories in Canada have some of the highest nurse to population ratios, but still the population is small so the number of jobs available are not large in comparison to some of the larger urban areas in the western and eastern provinces of Canada.
Many communities in the north are remote and isolated. For example there is a population of 40,000 people living in the 1.17 million square miles of the entire Northwest Territories and only one major city (Yellowknife). There are only 4 hospitals in the entire territory and 28 community health centers.

There are applicants from across the globe searching for jobs and prospective employers in Canada. The reason behind this is the country's booming economy and developed status.
The job opportunities in Canada have multiplied at a steady rate post recession. More and more investors and businesses have opened the flood gates in Canada both in the industrial as well as service sector. The service sector alone contributes to 75% of the Annual GDP of Canada. Hence, one can find jobs in various domains in this region.

Skilled Workers Have the Highest Chances to Immigrate to Canada in 2010
Image via WikipediaHaving in mind that Canada has been ranked one of the best places in the world to live, it is no wonder approximately 250,000 immigrants choose to come in live in Canada every year. When you add up the relatively low cost of living, good health care and education system and well-paying jobs - it sounds like dream country.
If you have decided to move to Canada there are several ways to do it. For example, the business immigration, family class immigration and experience class immigration. However, people who qualify under the skilled worker class criteria will have highest chances to live their dream as Canada plans on accepting 101,000 new skilled worker immigrants in 2010 and Quebec is the province which is getting the largest percentage of them.
Steps in Immigration Canada - Skilled Worker
Image by Lone Primate via FlickrHow to Migrate in Canada as a Skilled Worker
There have been so many reasons why people are migrating to Canada. Good education, job opportunities and permanent residency are few of them. But we have this doubt in mind on how to start your application. Normally we go to an Immigration representative but shocked of their services fee that would really drain your budget. Actually "representative" or some call it "agencies" would assess if you are qualified, meaning if they think you are qualified then you are really qualified so why do you need them? They won't do anything to process your application faster or influence the Canadian Immigration on your eligibility. All we have to do is to know the requirements, read instructions and submit your application.

Teaching to Fund Your Studies in Canada
Image by Ian Muttoo via FlickrAs one of the foremost economies in the world despite the recession, Canada has become one of the best places that expats and other travelers go to in recent years. With the influx of immigrants, the economy continues to flourish. In order to keep up with the burgeoning economy, studying in Canada has become one way that new experts and workers easily provide the supply of warm bodies for the economic growth.
The land mass and geographic diversity of Canada has allowed it an almost unlimited supply of natural resources to fuel the continued growth and economic development. As the economy grows, the demand for expert skilled workers becomes greater and with a population that is slow to provide the experts, the government has turned to foreign workers and students to fill the need. That is why studying in Canada has become one of the worlds best locations to overcome the current financial crisis.
POEA Jobs in Canada - Part 2
Image by Jordon via FlickrEach year the Canadian government welcomes around 90,000 migrants to its doors. A lot of the migrants are skilled workers and a good amount of them are from the Philippines.
Canada, is a huge country and needs to fill so many jobs that its own people do not want or are simply over-qualified for. Garbage disposal, Oil and gas workers, Truck drivers, Teachers, Care-givers, and the like are highly sought-after in Canada.
Another industry that Canada needs bolstering is the IT industry, from web-designers to programmers there is a scarcity of IT professionals. Taiwanese, Chinese, Koreans and Filipinos are now filling in these positions fast. The IT industry in Canada is fast becoming an Asian dominated sector of the work force.
Poea Jobs in Canada - Part 1
Image by steveleenow via FlickrPOEA Jobs in Canada - are there still a lot of employers looking for Filipinos to work in Canada? You'd be surprised as to how many jobs are available in Canada especially for Filipino's as they are considered hard working, non-complaining easy-to-get along with human beings.
As for Canada, the Canadian government has always been welcoming of not only Filipinos but a host of different nationalities as well. In fact Vancouver's mayor is of Chinese descent, there are so many Asians in Vancouver that you would think you were somewhere in Asia rather than the western hemisphere.
Recently the Canadian government re-opened its doors to nursing practitioners as the Canadians realized that there are not enough health workers in the country. This could lead to another wave of second-tier health workers such as caregivers and physical therapists, not to mention Filipino doctors turning themselves into paramedics just to get better pay.
Oil and Gas Jobs in Alberta, Canada

Before one packs their bags and heads north, there are several things to keep in mind about oil and gas jobs in Alberta, Canada.
How to Find Jobs in Vancouver, Canada
Image via WikipediaVancouver, British Columbia is a beautiful port city in western Canada. Because it is a vibrant and temperate metropolitan area within close proximity to many enjoyable outdoor recreational activities, Vancouver is considered a desirable place to live. The downside to this fact is that the cost of living is extremely high compared to the rest of Canada, and it can be a difficult place to secure gainful employment. Still, that should not discourage anyone from making Vancouver their home, and by utilizing one or all of the techniques below, one can find their perfect job in this wonderful city.
Getting a Job Offer From a Company in Canada
Image via WikipediaIf you receive a job offer from a Canadian company, your visa application process will be much easier!
I strongly recommend obtaining a job offer from a Canadian company before submitting your visa application. If you can get this document, it will not only help you settle easier in Canada , but it will also increase your Pass Mark assessment.
Let me explain the way a job offer will help you increase your Pass Mark assessment:
You will receive 10 points if:
– You have a permanent job offer in Canada . However, please note that this offer has to be confirmed by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC).
If you are already in Canada (with a temporary work permit), and you decide to apply from within the country, you will also receive points in the following situations:
You will receive 10 points if:
– Your temporary work permit was issued after receiving a confirmation of a job offer from Human Resources and Skills Development Canada ; – Your temporary work permit was exempted from the requirement of a issued after receipt of a confirmation of your job offer from HRSDC (due to an international agreement).
Writing Effective Resumes for Jobs in Canada
Author: Candace
When looking for a job in Canada, one should keep in mind that most Canadian employers look at the job seeker’s resume first. As an applicant, one needs to invoke an interest in the potential employer by crafting a professional resume. Professionally prepared resumes are a direct reflection of the job seeker’s seriousness and commitment towards his or her career.
Certain rules should be kept in mind, regardless of which country one is pursuing job opportunities. For example, even a minor lapse in grammar or a spelling mistake will result in the resume looking unprofessional. These mistakes are an indication of carelessness.
So how does a person generate interest in the employer and blend the unique culture of corporate Canada in their resume?
Tips to Find Jobs in Canada
Many people hope to find jobs in Canada. For some people it only takes a few days to gain employment, whereas others find months passing before gaining an interview. Although no magic formula exists for finding employment, the following tips will help make your job search more productive.
Define your job objective. You should know what type of job you want and whether or not you have the skills for the job. Also, you must be clear about whether you're seeking permanent, temporary, full-time, or part-time employment.
Create a professional résumé. Having a résumé with your previous work experience, education, and skills listed on it helps when looking for a job. Employers want to see your job history. Even if you haven't been paid for doing a job that relates to the position you're seeking, include it on your résumé.
Resumes come in two basic styles: chronological and functional. Chronological resumes are appropriate for those with plenty of relevant work experience, as this is a format used to display all positions held over a period of time. Functional resumes are used to focus on a candidate's skills that were gained in school or at a previous job. Be sure and create your own unique resume and just utilize templates to get an idea for a format. The use of headings organizes a resume and makes it read easier.

5 Things You Need to Know Before Migrating to Canada
Author: M.Dawodu
Fancy cars, designer clothes, and high paying jobs are how many people in third world countries might imagine life in the western part of the world. After all, those who are lucky enough to immigrate to Canada, U.S., or the U.K. for a new and prosperous life, always return home for a visit after a couple of years bearing a ton of gifts for the entire family, building homes on huge acres of land, and spending heaps of cash that seem to be limitless. Yes, the lifestyles of those who live in western countries are very privileged in many ways that I can’t deny. I should know, I live in Alberta, Canada, an oil rich province where jobs are plentiful; salaries are high, and poverty, almost non-existent.
In addition to living in what appears to be a life of luxury, there are things all people should be fully aware of before settling in Canada.
#1) WESTERN MENTALITY
Most people in third world countries do not have or may not be aware of credit cards or mortgages. So, if you know or see someone living in a big house or driving a luxurious car you can safely make the assumption that they are rich. However, in Canada or U.S. someone driving a luxurious car and living in a big beautiful house may or may not be rich. If you have good credit, you are eligible to get a mortgage, credit cards, car leases which basically means the bank really owns your car or house and you make monthly payments depending how much the loan is. It could take 2-5 years to pay off a car and 20 plus years for a house.

Article Source: ArticlesBase.com - Finding Jobs in Canada - 10 Tips to a Successful Job Search
To successfully immigrate to Canada, you will have to seriously start considering various employment opportunities that are available and suitable based on your experience and educational qualifications. There are several ways to go about seeking employment in Canada including recruitment agencies, staffing services, placement consultants, online job portals, and through network contacts based in Canada.
Listed below are 10 tips for job seekers prior to immigrating and seeking employment in Canada.
1. Self-assessment – Determine skills relevant to job requirements in Canada
Self-assessment will confirm or determine if the educational background, qualifications, and work experience of the job seeker meet the criteria of the job requirement. Self-assessment tests or evaluations will help establish one’s area of expertise based on which one can determine which area he or she should focus on while scouting for employment opportunities.
During the process of self-assessment, one will also discover certain drawbacks or weak areas where one might need to concentrate and work on before seeking employment. For someone seeking a position in the Finance sector, it might be important to learn how to use Quick Books or any other finance-related software that is commonly used in Canada. If one does not have exposure to this software, it might be of immense help to undergo a course or class to learn the same.
2. Rewrite your resume until you get it right – Highlight key words
The importance of an excellent resume cannot be emphasized enough. As an applicant, you must strive hard to create a resume that highlights all your strengths in the preferred area of employment. Canadian employers prefer applicants who market their skills well and give them what they are looking for.
A certified Canadian resume writer perhaps will understand this best and it is certainly worth the time and money to approach one and make life simpler. Crafting resumes while keeping in mind what the employer or organization is seeking is an expertise that is best known to resume writers. Once this task is taken care of, one can concentrate on posting the resume to organizations that one is interested in.
3. Make a good impression – Get it right the first time
Once a professional Canadian resume writer has crafted a resume, there is a very good possibility that one will be approached for an in-person interview. Therefore, it is important for one to first study how the resume has been crafted, and which are the key areas one needs to concentrate on during the interview.
It is also extremely important to be presentable during the in-person interview, especially since first impressions are lasting impressions, and one should look as good as his or her resume. Confidence and exuberance should shine through when you walk through the door!
4. Follow up – An effective way to express interest
After an interview, it is essential to keep the channel of communication open with the potential employer. Of course, this should be done professionally and appropriately, and follow-up letters should clearly communicate one’s appreciation, interest, and enthusiasm for the position, after the interview.
A formal thank you letter sent within 24 hours after the interview will go a long way in communicating all of the above. Follow-up letters and/or emails are considered polite and professional. This will not only draw the attention of the hiring manager to your profile and interview, it will also confirm your interest in the position. You could also subtly add a line or two confirming points that you missed during the interview, ensuring that all sides are clear and prepared to make an easy decision.
Having said the above, one must remember to keep the follow-up letter or thank you note brief and polite, without any gush and mush in it. Otherwise, this will have the opposite effect, and might put the hiring manager off completely. Balance and moderation are the key words to bear in mind while drafting follow-up letters.
5. Keep track of your applications – always stay one step ahead
This is especially true if one has submitted a number of resumes and job applications to various organizations, recruiters, or online job searches. One should archive and/or maintain a separate folder with all the job applications posted, especially in the order of positing with the job profile and employer contact information attached.
When approached by these employers or recruiters for interviews, one must never be at a loss to confirm details and recollect information. If one is not able to recall the job application and what is asked by the potential employer, chances are one will be written off as unorganized and uninterested. Going through job applications periodically will also help one stay on top of things, and when called, he or she will be able to recollect information easily and effectively.
6. Network – Build references
For those who have undergone Canadian immigration, it is important to build a wide social network. After all, not all jobs are listed in job postings or job boards. New friends might have information on available jobs at the company they are working with. It always helps to go through good references, particularly since trusted sources will always provide accurate information regarding employers, wages, and work environment. Based on this information, one can customize the job application according to the organization’s requirements, since all the relevant information is available.
7. Do your research – Go armed with information for interviews
Reading up on the job market and employment trends will help one gain a deeper insight into what the organization is looking for. Based on this knowledge, one can customize the resume, highlight key words, and ensure there is a perfect match between the resume and job profile. Also, all information researched and understood with regards to the organization will come in handy during the interview.
When quizzed on various topics pertaining to the industry and organization, one should be able to quote the information on the websites. This is an effective way to communicate the interest and enthusiasm to the potential employer. Also, making note of the vision and mission of the organization and expressing your belief in the same will certainly create a positive impression.
8. Be punctual – Carry a formal folder with all relevant documentation
Nothing irks an employer more than a late applicant. Strive to show that you are professional, courteous, and can follow instructions. Also ensure that you are prepared with copies of all necessary documents, transcripts, visa or permanent resident card copies, updated resume, and any particular work that you are interested in sharing. Software engineers, especially graphic and animation professionals might want to share some of their creations with potential employers; one can always carry pen drives or CDs with a collection of the same.
9. Work with headhunters – Explore avenues that work professionally
The core business or main activity of headhunters is to place people and earn revenues. Most headhunters have an extensive database of job requirements and are extremely well networked with various organizations. Depending on the job seekers experience, interest, and availability, headhunters generally find an appropriate job opening for job seekers. Organizations generally collaborate with headhunters to fill in various positions. Therefore, headhunters will be in a better position to forward resumes and job seekers to these organizations.
10. Positive Energy and Attitude – Create a lasting impression
It is easy to slip into negativity and start becoming pessimistic if one does not receive interview calls immediately after posting the resume. The number of applications posted or the qualifications is not an indication of the number of calls one might receive from potential employers. It is the quality of the cover letter, resume, relevant industry experience, educational background, and a match between the job profile and the resume that will generate the calls.
Thus, before hastily concluding that things are not working in one’s favor, one must see if he or she has done everything right: crafted a resume that looks professional, applied for positions that match one’s profile, and possess relevant experience and expertise, to be selected for the job. Above all, one must see if all of the aforementioned was done with interest and enthusiasm.
If one has remained positive during the entire process and continues to remain positive later, one will draw positive energy to oneself. By becoming cynical and negative, one will do all the wrong things, say all the wrong things, and nothing productive will come out of the entire effort. Hence, it is important to continue to be positive during the entire job seeking exercise.
The same energy will ensure the interview goes well and the results are positive too. Ultimately, it is the job seeker who is deciding his or her results more than anyone or anything else.
