Job in Alberta

Hi Julien,
Your message is quite old, but I'll try to answer you.
With about 3% of unemployement, Alberta has an important lack of workers. It's very easy to have a job, when you speak English and have a working visa. BUT all those jobs will be jobs without qualification, paid between 10$ and 14$ per hour. To have a better paid and more interesting job, most of Canadian employers want what they call 'the Canadian experience': a 1st 3-months experience in Canada will open you alot of doors... It's also the case in Alberta, also it's easier to have the 1st experience in Alberta than in Quebec or Ontario, for example. When you have some qualifications and some experience, it's easy to find a job below your qualification. My wife and I found our jobs in 2 weeks only. I have a 7+ yrs XP in IT, I have to do what I did in France 3 yrs ago. After 8 months here, I'm receiving propositions for what I did 1.5 yrs ago. And so...
Tell me if you have more questions!
