THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN PLANNING TO START WORK IN CANADA

 

Many Pakistanis migrate to Canada for work, including both skilled and unskilled labor. However, before applying for work/employment in the country, there are some things that need to be remembered while planning to go.

Among other things, the following need to be considered when migrating to Canada for work

1.                  Work permit; to work in Canada, it is important to have a government issued work permit, however not all jobs require you to get a work permit. To find out if your job type requires a work permit, check this site http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/apply-who-nopermit.asp

2.                  Get the work permit if it is required; if your job type requires you to get a work permit, then you should submit an application for it. The work permit can be for foreign workers, caregivers, students, business owners etc.

3.                  The application for the work permit can be found at the following provided you satisfy the conditions and requirements;http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/work.asp

4.                  Assess your credentials. This is important because it will help you assess your skills as a worker, your experience level and will also help the person hiring you to understand your skill level. To know more about credentials and what you need to be of Canadian work standard, you can use the site http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/newcomers/credentials/index.asp.

 

Remember that if you wish to contact an agency/consultant to get job in Canada, you should still stay in contact with the Canadian embassy as the final decision regarding your visa and trip rests with them since they represent the government. An agent will only forward your case/application on your behalf, and will not guarantee that you will get a job or work permit. This is why it is recommended that you have the complete information before taking a step. This will prevent you from wasting time and money on useless things. Always be careful in these things as any wrong step can get you banned from the country for up to 10 years.

The above given sites will help in giving you an idea on how to apply, travel, and get a job with a work permit without getting you into any sort of problem.
