EMPLOYMENT
Do you have the same chance of getting the job you
want everywhere in Canada?
No. Canada is a large country and job opportunities
are different for several reasons:
- Each region has job opportunities based on the geography
of that area. For example, jobs in forestry, mining
and manufacturing are available in different regions
of Canada.
- Jobs are also affected by changes in the economy.
- The demand for workers in some occupations and trades,
such as farming, fishing and construction, is affected
by the season of the year.
Where can you find information and advice on how
to find a job?
Human Resources Centers of Canada (HRCC), which specialize
in helping people find jobs, can provide you with helpful
information. Look in your telephone directory's blue
pages for the HRCC or the federal Information Center
in your area. Also, your immigrant-serving agency can
help you.
HRCC counselors and staff may be able to help in several
ways:
- Tell you about job and language training, and work
creation programs for newcomers;
- Give you information to plan your job search, tell
you where to have your documents translated or where
to get help preparing a resume; and
- Give you names of immigrant-serving agencies that
might have more information.
Each HRCC has a computerized job bank that lists available
jobs by occupation or profession, and by location. Read
the job descriptions carefully and make sure your application
clearly shows your ability to do the work.
