JIREN01: Yea. I guess they just advertised as an analyst role to manage Salary expectations. It’s actually an analytics engineer role IMO. My first job offer, it was a pre-recorded video interview for the screening, and the next 2 were physical interviews. My 2nd offer, all virtual interviews. 4 stages. The company is fully remote. But honestly, I don’t think Interview mode matters. Prepare, be very bold and assertive and hope for the best. 1 Like |

Zeewirld: Well, It really depends. I landed here alone and honestly, the only reason I chose Ontario is because my brothers family is here. I stayed with them ( for 5months) till I found my first job and only moved after working for a month and I also had savings that I brought with me to canada (MY POF was intact and even had some extra till I landed). I later used the bulk of the savings for accommodation and settling the deposit, first rent and doing the basic furnishing for my apartment. Even though I had family support and soft landing, the job market situation was still very frustrating and overwhelming. So, it depends on your savings, the size of your family, your career path and industry (tech, healthcare) etc.. What I will tell you is that the cost of living in Ontario is very very high and the competition is very high, even though there are opportunities. Yes there are govt support initiatives if you are PR, but honestly, its hard to live on those. There is a wait time for everything here. To find school for kids, family doctors, etc, you will have to get on a waiting list. Ontario is a very big province, some cities/towns are a bit cheaper to live in. if you can, Avoid saturated cities( Toronto , Brampton, ). If you & your spouse both have jobs now in your home country, then one person can come land and start the hustle and bring family later. the other persons income back home can then sustain the family while the landed person keeps on hustling. The landed spouse can even find a shared appt or something to manage to just keep the hustle going here and save money before the rest of the family joins. Rent is very very high. PR is great, but honestly at the point of application Everybody is applying to the same job pool. PR, Work permit, study permit, Refugee, Citizens. As far as the job market is concerned, it is not really your residential status that matters. Manage your expectations and pray for favour. The land will favour you. Wishing you the best.. 20 Likes 2 Shares |

RelaxingEnd: Data analysis is different in each organization. My role is a combination of everything. Sourcing data, building ETL pipelines , data cleaning, wrangling, some analysis, data modeling and presentations. Many tools out there but SQL is still king. 1 Like |

Landed in CA about 6 months ago in March as PR. Its been a long ride , finding a good job in my field (Data ) and finally settling in. I got my first job offer in June, resumed in July, and then another one I started in August. People say that was fast. lol. It was a long and stressful period but I can say that coming to Canada is not vibes. Preparation and resilience is important. Having support in your first few months after landing is super important. Family support, community support or any kind of support. I have documented most of my experiences here on Nairaland. https://www.nairaland.com/7989437/maple-land-japa-diaries I believe one or two people may find some info useful from my experience. 21 Likes 6 Shares |
