The Art of Salary Negotiation.

How I used these practical steps to negotiate an over 50% increase every time I changed a job (did in my last switch from a Team Lead to Tech Manager in a Fortune 100)

This thread also includes links to resources that are unique and helpful. 🧵

It's important to note over 61% of people hardly negotiate their salaries when they get an offer. However, people who negotiate often earn much more than those who don't.

Do you know why? Employers hardly put their best offer first.

As always, this thread is based on what has worked for me as a professional, as well as from an HR point of view.

Now let's begin.

As of April Canada has invited over 32,000 candidates to apply for Permanent Residency through 15 Express Entry Draws.

BREAKDOWN:

-8 General Draws: 12,350 Candidates
-3 French Category: 11K
-1 STEM: 4.5K
-1 Healthcare: 3.5K
-1 Transport: 975
-1 Agric: 150

👇🏾How to participate

Canada Migration and taking the General IELTS test.

*Remember: You don't need to write IELTS if you want to study in Canada as 99.9% of schools waive it for students.

However, for permanent residency (Express Entry Pathway) you need to write the General IELTS.

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 through the express entry pathway. Policies are also changing every now and then.

I get this question a lot on “Student to Citizenship” pathway for Canada so let me break it down.

When you come Study in Canada for:

- 8 months to 1 year program you get a 1 year Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) after school.

- 16 months (1yr 4 months) masters program without any scheduled breaks, you’d get a 3 year PGWP

- For 2+ years program also gets you a 3 year PGWP.

- Once you work in Canada for one year, you become eligible for Permanent Residency via the Canadian Experience Class (CEC). Bearing in mind that you must meet other eligibility requirements like:

> Job belonging to the right NOC / Teer
> Having the right Language Proficiency Score
> Evalutaion of your previous degrees outside Canada
> You don't need Proof of funds for the CEC pathway

- Everything being equal and good, you should become a PR between 1 - 2 and half years of completing your education in Canada.

- Once you become a PR, you'd then need to live in Canada for at least three years (1,095 days) out of the past five years.

- Also important to note that you can become a PR midway through your studies because many folks automatically choose to study but on getting to Canada realize that based on age, work experience, language proficiency and previous education qualify for Express Entry via the Federal Skilled Workers (FSW) Pathway.

- It takes an international student an average of 8yrs to become a Canadian Citizen. Give or take. Took me 6 years & 7 months.

- Canada remains a great destination for international students looking for alternatives. If you are considering studying in Canada, it’s worth it in the end.

There's been a lot of changes happening recently with Canadian Immigration.

And there has been some miscommunication and watered-down info passed around regarding some policies.

Here are things you need to know about 🇨🇦 immigration based on recently announced policies.

For context, there are two types of post-secondary schools in Canada:

1. Universities
2. Colleges and institutes

These post-secondary schools can either be a:

1. Public
2. Private or
3. Public-Private set up.

PROVINCIAL ATTESTATION LETTERS (PAL)

A. From January 22nd, international students who will be attending post-secondary schools will now need a Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) from a province/territory.

B. PAL should be ready and available from March 31st to students who have admissions. Provinces/Territories and post-secondary schools will determine how to allocate their PALs to international students.

C. Based on internal Memos going around in schools, PAL priority will be given based on students who have paid tuition/tuition deposits.

D. Masters or Doctoral students will not be needing PAL.
