Congratulations to those whose PR to Canada has been approved and will be arriving soon or have just recently arrived.

When you eventually land, here are Top Job Sites and resources to help you.

Short Thread.
1. You should start here with the “Welcome To Canada (what you should know” detailed document put together by IRCC.

This document covers things such as:

-what you should do before and after you arrive
-brief overview
-housing, healthcare, finance etc.

canada.ca/content/dam/ir…
2. Indeed.ca

The number 1 job site in Canada. With Indeed, you need to create a profile and be strategic about your search by indicating your areas of interests.

Try to update your profile every 3 months as recruiters filter by most recent profiles.
LinkedIn.com

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
4. MONSTER (monster.ca)

Why Monster is great is not just because of the jobs but because of the career blog.

They have great topics on:

- Interviews
- Resume
- Salary negotiation etc.
5. GLASSDOOR (glassdoor.ca/member/home/in…)

Asides being a top job site, Glassdoor gives you the inside scoop on companies with employee reviews, personalised salary tools, and many more.
6. CAREERBUILDER (careerbuilder.ca)

Like Monster, CareerBuilder has a dedicated blog to help with job search. It also helps with personalized salary tools and career resources.
7. JOBBANK (jobbank.gc.ca/home)

This is owned by the government itself and offers job opportunities across the country.
8. ELUTA (m.eluta.ca)

9. JOBILLICO (jobillico.com/en)

10. JOBBOOM: This is Quebec’s largest employment site. (jobboom.com/en)

11. TALENT EGG: This provides entry level jobs, student jobs and new grad jobs in Canada (talentegg.ca)
12. eJOBBO (ejobbo.com)

This has a smart match system that matches you to jobs so you don’t need to search endlessly or apply endlessly.

13. ANGELIST (angel.co)

One of the best, of course. In Tech? This is one of your best job platforms.
Other resources worthy of mention:

- ACCESS EMPLOYMENT: Access helps job seekers in Canada with employment services, interview coaching, workshops and events, etc. for free. Although primarily in Ontario, they also online.

accesemployment.ca
Job Search in a new country can be different and hard, but:

-Apply. Apply. Apply, be positive and don’t be tired.

Canada Migration and taking the IELTS Test.

Short Thread.
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

Congratulations to students whose study visas to Canada have been approved & will be starting school this fall (September).

When you eventually land in Canada, some things to note:

- As a student, you are allowed to work 20 hours per week.
- If you don't drive, check bus schedule before going out.
- Aside from the busy cities like Toronto etc., buses run every 30 mins on weekdays & every 1hr on weekends.
- Before buying textbooks, check with Lecturers if okay with you borrowing from Library rather than owning.
- If you can't afford the school residence, you can rent very close to the school.
- It is cheaper to cook than to eat out.
- Sobeys is a high-end grocery store for students. Try others.
- Connect with students from the prior year for course tips.
