There are different types of people in this group. There are the pessimists, the supposed realists and the optimists.

A friend of mine who got PR from express entry just got a really good job in Ontario and she hasn't even landed! She doesn't have any foreign experience and no foreign education. She works with a "multinational" in Naija.

I would soon post my story too! With God all things are possible.

I choose to be among the optimists. Which one are you?

esosa4real:

Ehrnie:


Yes I am. Thanks for reaching out. Do you work in the oil-patch? I presently do (I've been for over 5 years now) and was just wondering what tips / advise you can share.

What I have done so far; I'm in the process of submitting an application for EIT via APEGA. That's it

What are your thoughts...experiences...advise...etc.

Many thanks,

Canadianfly:


Lol. This one na fashion na. It won't do the job. You need a serious padded jacket. And they don't come with all that gold metal and fashion

This is what you need

Hamiltondreamer:

Hi what's the name of the shop/website you got this from?

Snappyfingaz:

If I'm right, Engineer in training; meaning you have satisfied the academic requirements but need work experience. Yes, I work in the oil patch at the moment. What I do know right now is that the oil sector is getting back on its feet. Many companies will hire you right now even without experience. I'm not sure if you're already in Canada or not but the minimum they would require of you are your safety tickets, especially first aid and H2S Alive. Both won't cost you up to $350 max. With those you can get like a well testing position and since you've had the academic know how you can attain a supervisor position fast. Supervisors make between $7k to $10k bi-weekly. 
As par my experience, it's been a nice but sometimes bumpy ride, sometimes work is hectic at other times it's not. I work 21days on and 7days off. Sometimes we travel out of town and when we do we get extra pay (and of course they are always gonna pay for your hotel). By default, some caucasians will always feel like they know more than you do and would want to act bossy but I sabi keep those kind in check. Long story short, you'd be making lots of money but having too little time to spend it.

Ekpekus:

Just do a generalized search on the prospect of public health physician in your intended province. What requirements is needed. The appropriate body for licensure and the likes.
Another thing to do is network with people in that field via LinkedIn.
A job search on the Canadian job bank, workopolis dot ca, indeed dot ca, kijiji.ca, monster dot ca and the others will give you a clue on the direction to go.
Alternatively, if the individual intend practicing Medicine then check some of my previous post.

I hope this help

einsteino:


your friend isnt the first person to say such, some other person who told their would be wife such werent so lucky and we cant even say your friend has 100% survived, since it shouldnt end till death. There is no harm in putting the conditions in writing or a legal document, that is the only thing that would save one in court. i like paper guarantees, so i can love with my whole heart without risk.

hayor2014:

What's the fate of someone who did undergraduate degree in engineering in Canada(UofManitoba) ? @maternal@blackbuddy @salford1

Wura27:


The logo by the side tells me its Canada goose. You're looking at about 700 CAD for it but I heard it's one of the best from online reviews

@canadianfly please am I correct?

Mehn... this your response got me rolling with laughter.

Ehrnie:


I like the sound of that ...making lots of money!

Thanks for your response.

Yes to all 3 questions - EIT is Engineer-In-Training, I have satisfied the academic requirements and I require CAN work experience.

No, I'm not yet in CAN. I'm just trying to get all the groundwork going prior to when I relocate. I presume it's not advisable to complete the First Aid and H2S Alive trainings from outside CAN...is that correct?

coolhayor:

Ugoeloka:
Please canny folks I was doing some research on CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAMS AT UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY. please I need some input from those who might have done such or have idea of such:
1. Are these certification programs recognized, promising and available for migrants to apply for . Please qualify your question: Recognized by whom? I'm guessing you mean employers in which case you should first check which jobs require the certification and if it is a compulsory requirement or just nice to have. In any case, certificates from that school are accredited and yes, as a Permanent resident, you may pursue the certifications if you meet admission requirements

2) can immigrants apply without going through English test since we went through it during the EE process. Don't forget you used IELTS general test and not academic test for immigration purpose. They are not the same and can not substitute for each other. Certificate courses usually have their admission requirements published on the school website and that is the best place for you to know their specific requirements including English proficiency though my cursory research just know showed that some of them waive English language test if it is your first language. Check for your desired course to be sure, https://conted.ucalgary.ca/certificates/ .

Blackbuddy:


Please clarify your query, what exactly would you like to know? Do you mean to ask what is the next step for someone who completed an undergraduate degree?

pauloverdi:
HI guys (and babes), I would like to know if I can send money from my pof to someone in canada to pay for an apartment for me and still show the receipt for the funds sent (i.e the bank transfer reciept) as part of my proof of funds on arrival? There's a place I want to pay for and I'm considering sending the funds ahead or holding on till I arrive canada. Want to avoid extra expenses on hotels but also don't want to take the risk of reducing my funds before arrival. What to do?

karleone:
