Overview

Finding a job in Canada

There are a few different ways of doing this. Most newspapers in Canada have a daily job advertisement section where you can find all jobs listed in their “Career” section. There are also weekly and monthly magazines that advertise jobs on a local and national level. One of the best ways to secure employment is to get out there and talk to people. Maybe your friends or people you have just met may know of a job vacancy or some information that can help you in finding a job.

In Canada there are many websites that advertise for jobs. Just search online for job vacancies in the part of Canada you would like to work or move to. Below we have listed some useful Canadian government websites together with some more popular job sites that can be found in Canada:

Should you be able to find an employer that is willing to offer you a job but you do not have a visa, please contact us to enquire about the possibility of securing a Work Permit to enable you to take the job.  Work Permits are the quickest way to be able to move to Canada and start working but you must have an employer willing to sponsor you.  Call us on 0044207 203 8377.

All workers in Canada are protected from any form of discrimination. All employers must hire an employee based on their qualifications and experience. They cannot under Canadian law refuse anyone because of their skin colour, religion, age, sex, disability or sexual orientation.

On a final note, you should be aware that every month a small part of your pay cheque goes into your State Pension Plan. Which means when you retired you will be eligible to receive a monthly pension from the federal government. The amount you receive will depend on how many hours and years you have worked in Canada before retiring and what your salary was at the time of retirement.
