Here are a few tips on finding a job in Canada as a permanent resident:

1. While your education and work experience factor into your selection for
immigration, requirements for certain jobs in Canada may differ from
thosein your country of origin. Job Bank can show you which jobs in
Canada match your skills, education and work experience.
2. Provinces and territories in Canada have different labour market
needs. We recommend that you research where in Canada your
training and work experience are most needed.

3. Most Canadian employers will want proof of your education and work
history, as well as references from your past employers. Make sure you
have these available when you start looking for a job.
4. Some jobs in Canada are regulated . If the job you want to work in is
regulated, you will you need a licence or certificate from an appropriate
regulatory organization. This will involve submitting certain documents
and paying a fee to the regulatory organization. For some people, it
could also involve training, language tests and Canadian work
experience. This process can take months or even years, and you may
have to work in another field while you wait to get your license.

5. Use the Foreign Credential Recognition in Canada Tool to find out


about specific requirements for regulated jobs. You can also find the
contact information for regulatory organizations in each province.
6. If you are approved to come to Canada, you and your family can use
free services before you arrive in Canada. These services will help you:
• prepare for your move to Canada;
• get your education, work experience and credentials recognized
in Canada;
• connect you with employers to find a job; and
• connect with other free services after you arrive in Canada.
We hope that these tips will help you better prepare to immigrate to Canada.
Thank you for your interest in coming to Canada.
Sincerely,
