1. Create an ATS-optimized CV

Resume writing sounds like a simple task for many of us. But it takes a lot of expertise and experience to create a CV.

A company in Canada receives thousands of job applications each month. It is a difficult task to manually filter all these. Hence, most of the companies assign the task of filtering CVs to the Application Tracking System (ATS).

Used for streamlining the hiring process, ATS software is used for managing the hiring process right from job posting to sorting applications to zeroing in on the applicants that look most promising. ATS will scan all CVs, filtering out applications based on keywords, resume formats, alignment, profiles with photos etc.

Step 1 to get a job in Canada is to reach the HR desk. Our resume writing services can get you an international CV that generates the maximum responses.

2. Choose the right sources for applying for jobs

The process of applying for jobs has changed completely. For 2024, you need to have a multi-channel approach to get noticed by employers. With the emergence of LinkedIn and other online portals, reaching the right employer is easier than ever.

Posting jobs on multiple Canadian job portals, use of social media, reaching out to Canada’s HR consultants and applying for posted jobs directly on the company’s website will help you generate responses quickly.

3. Apply to Canada PR visa

Holding a Canada PR will increase your probability by 3X. The employer will look for candidates with the rights to work in Canada, without the company sponsoring them.

If you good education and work experience, it is wise to apply for a Canadian Permanent residency.

Our team can help you to apply for a visa to Canada in the shortest time.

Why Canada is the best place for Indians to work?

According to Randstad, most job seekers choose Canada for reasons like its cultural diversity, quality living, high-paying jobs, career benefits and many other factors.

For an Indian worker, these 5 reasons are just enough to kick start their career in Canada:

  • Multicultural: No bias of religion or caste
  • Beneficial for families: Safety and social benefits
  • Economical: Highest paying jobs in the service sector
  • Tech-Savvy: Fastest growing country in terms of tech jobs
  • Paid Benefits: Best in North America

How to find a job in Canada in less time?

Finding a job in Canada can be a daunting task without proper understanding of the Canadian job market and proper planning.

Here’s what you need to do to get your job fast in Canada:

Plan for an Active Job Strategy:

You cannot find a job by simply posting your profiles on Canadian portals relaxing for results. You need to actively research for available jobs and apply to the same.

In your tough schedule of work and life, doing so can be challenging. Hence, hire a job search expert for yourself.

As job search experts are well aware of the Canadian job market and everything about Canadian jobs, relying on their assistance will help you greatly.

Apply for a Permanent Resident Visa:

If you think that applying for a work permit for a Canadian job is a good idea, then think again.

Canadian employers are giving a higher preference to candidates with PR visas over work permit holders. This is majorly because:

  • Permanent resident visa holders bring an assurity to live in the country for a long term.
  • This gives the employers a confidence the talent of the selected candidate will be beneficial on a longer run.
  • The fact that employers don’t have to bear any LMIA expenses also attracts them to hire PR visa holders.
  • Once the candidate obtains citizenship after 3 years, he shall be an asset to the overall Canadian economy.

Why Indians? A majority of Indians have the skills and talent Canada needs for its economic development.

A high number of candidates are able to meet parameters set by Canada for immigration easily than the nationals of other countries.

In certain occupations or skilled trade, a certification may be required. Similarly, for some roles you may be asked to demonstrate any practical skill test results.

Consult our job search experts to get a personalized checklist of documents based on your profile.

Why Permanent Residency is a Good Option to Get a Job in Canada in 2024?

A permanent residency visa is always considered an ideal option over work permit because of the status it grants. This visa gives you a permanent resident card, similar to the US Green Card.

Also, in order to apply for this visa you do not need a job offer. Both the job search and visa process can proceed simultaneously.

All you have to do is score 67 points under Canada’s Express Entry (immigration system) and follow an online visa application process.

Once you have secured this visa, you will be able to:

  • Work anywhere in Canada
  • Work for any company in Canada
  • Switch between companies/jobs if required
  • Let your spouse work without any additional permit
  • Right to apply for any jobs available for Canadians
  • Claim unemployment benefits under several schemes
  • Enjoy the privileges of permanent residency(free education and free healthcare)
  • Right to apply for Canadian citizenship in 3 years

What is the Occupational Requirement to Apply for Express Entry?

How is Canada Express Entry Helping Job Seekers?

Canada has designed the Express Entry in a way that it not only streamlines the visa process but also helps candidates connect to employment opportunities.

For this it has included these 3 unique features:

Job Bank Registration: Once you create your profile with Express Entry, you are given an option of creating a similar profile with Job Bank.

This Job Bank is accessed by Canadian employers who are keenly looking for foreign talent.

The Job Bank serves as a recruitment portal similar to Naukri, Shine, Indeed, wherein both candidates and employers can connect to close on vacant position.

Until 2017, registration with Job Bank was a mandate requirement. However, since then it is not compulsory to create a profile with Job Bank.

Employer Sponsorship: Employers of Canada are allowed to sponsor candidates while their visa is in process with Express Entry. This is done by the medium of a valid job offer.

If an employer shortlists a profile and offers him a job offer, the candidate must include the details in his Express Entry profile.

Doing so gives him additional points between 50-200 (depending upon profile) and boosts the overall CRS score.

Provincial Nomination: Provinces that are falling short of skilled talent align their visa programs with Express Entry to select and nominate candidates for work.

The candidates who meet the requirements of these programs are nominated and are invited to live and work in the province for 2 years.

Challenges of finding a job in Canada:

Now that you know most of the aspects of finding a job in Canada, note that there are several challenges too.

  • Unimpressive resume can get you failed
  • Sometimes, your resumes don’t reach the recruiter’s inbox
  • There are plenty of openings posted and removed each day, which you could miss
  • Employers conduct smart interviews and one bad move can lose you the job
