Isuachrist:
Some of us are thinking if it's possible to get a job in Canada from here. Here are few tips to break out.

1. Meet Successful Immigrants and Get Their Firsthand Advice

One of the mistakes you will always make is following and believing everything you see on the internet until you’ve tried.
If I had to go with the internet noises then I wouldn’t have had my interview session to work with a foreign company. How does this relate to you?
A lot of aspirants or job seekers sound very concerned about the job market due to the humongous amount of negativity on the internet regarding Canadian job market for immigrants.

As per reports Toronto generated more tech jobs than the US cities in 2017. Toronto could not have done it if it relied solely on local population. Things are not so bad here as on writing this answer.

The rugged hack:
If you really want to become successful you have to heed the advice of those immigrants who were successful and ignore others. This is a life fact not just for immigration.
Ask for guidance on how to break into the industry and prioritize your network to professionals who are also immigrants. They will be more willing to help.

2. Study the Canadian job market

Study the job market. Seeking advice is just not enough. You have to assess how feasible it is for you, your skills and the present situations prevailing in Canada to get a job. One of such methods is by using a simple Linked account to search the appropriate job filters set.

#b, Go through the jobs posted in major cities of Canada via the job bank and get to know what the job description (JD) says. The employers mean if they say “an ideal candidate should possess ‘x’ skill”. (This is important t as you will need in your Resume | Cover Letter).

#c. Another best way to get a job is to check with your acquaintances if they have an open position in their team. But most of the new immigrants barely have any connections in Canada. So, do the job search the normal way - through LinkedIn, Indeed and other websites.

3. Prepare for the interview

There is absolutely no speech I don’t prepare for. What’s that?
You want to impress your potential employers if called upon for an interview.

It’s no joke because interviews may/are going to be tough, to the point and multiple rounds with each round having at least two interviewers.
If you’re in Nigeria, interviews will be done through phone, skype, zoom or similar medium.

#4. Be ready to travel for the final face-to-face round.
In your unique case, the company might insist on at least one face-to-face round after all the remote interviews. So, be prepared to fly at the shortest notice.


#5. Timing Zone:
The Timing zone can really play an important rule here. When I was scheduled for a face mash interview, we had to choose a time zone that would be suitable for us.

For Canada, the best time to apply is Canadian time 9am to 2pm, Monday -Thursday.
