You most likely have connections already in Canada. Connect with them and ask that they refer you for openings they are aware of & are comfortable referring you for.
It’s a networking platform, use it as such. Also, filter jobs by city you are moving to

Like I always say, not everyone should, have to, or need to go to Canada. But if you want and have to, then act fast, take the necessary steps and do it the legal way.
P.S: The more you wait, the more points you lose if you are going the express entry pathway.
So if you are planning to, it’s a good move and just like every worthwhile endeavor, there are some processes and requirements (IELTS inclusive) that you need to plan for.
Want to include a ‘Cover Letter’ on that job application but don’t know how to start?
Here's a step-by-step guide of how to complete a cover letter. Also, what it should and shouldn't entail.
Thread.
A cover letter should be a single page letter that you include with your job application. Thing is, you can always include one, unless the job ad clearly states not to.
Always remember to keep it short because it should be a summary and not your autobiography.
1. Follow The Rules of Formal Business Letters:
Your cover letter should include:
-Your Name
-Your Phone Number
-Your Email Address
-The date of the letter
-The name of the hiring manager and their title (if you know it)
-The name of the company you are applying to as well
