How to apply for canadian jobs while living in saudi arabia?

Hello all,

Regarding jobs in Canada, they ARE NOT easy to find, especially from abroad. NOTHING beats being in Canada to conduct a job search and attend interviews. That always puts you ahead of all the others who are applying from abroad.

That said, it is still possible to find jobs using job search websites such as www.monster.ca  or  www.workopolis.com. For newcomers to Canada I would recommend NOT trying to find jobs in Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver since it will be much more difficult to find work in those cities. I'd suggest that you consider Calgary, Edmonton, or even Halifax.

Regarding sponsorship, that is a difficult situation. A sponsor must be either a citizen who also resides in Canada, or a permanent resident of Canada. They must also have some personal relationship to the sponsoree - either a family relative, long-term close personal friend, or employer of the sponsoree.

Please do not ask people here on the blog to act as sponsors, they don't know you and they will certainly not be willing to accept the legal and financial responsibilities that go along with sponsorship. Neither can they demonstrate to the folks at Citizenship and Immigration Canada that there is such a relationship which exists between you and them.

Nothing beats a job search while you're in the country and able to attend personal interviews, that always puts you well ahead of the game.

However, you could try a job search on the following sites:

www.monster.ca    or    www.workopolis.com

There's a new portal started by some IT developers that caters to the needs of those who are looking for companies who are willing to help them with their move. The site is www.techmeabroad.com

So folks in the tech space (there are some jobs in the portal that are not tech base e.g. marketing manager but is for a tech company anyhow), and wanna move to a foreign country can visit this site. Basically its a portal for the companies  who are willing wait a little longer and help out the right candidate get through the crazy bureaucracies of getting a work permit and also partially or fully sponsoring them.

Can anyone recommend reliable and result oriented "head hunters" in Canada. I have managed businesses of national and international level and currently am working at the GM level for a SME in Sultanate of Oman.
Eventhough, I am thinking of applying for immigration but would love to have a job offer before I apply, so, it will make the whole transition thing very smooth and less time taking.
Thanking you in advance,

Dear Brother
Frankly speaking, if you are planning to come to Canada for your professional job, I would suggest you to stay in the Kingdom. The reason is "Most Canadian companies/employers don't recognize overseas qualification and experience. They prefer locally trained graduates and experienced candidates"
Please do not hesitate if you need additional information.
Thanks
Muhammad Shafiq

Dear Mumtaz Khan
Frankly speaking, if you are comfortable in Oman, I will suggest you to stay there and never think about moving to Canada or anywhere else. In Canada, the situation for overseas qualified/experienced people has never been favorable. Mostly, the people from aborad are not comfortable in Canada. Job market in Canada is extremely competitive and Canadian employers mostly prefer locally trained and experienced candidates. But if you are willing to do odd jobs in Canada, you are most welcome. The choice is yours.
Please feel free to contact me if you need additional information.
Thank you for your blog.

Dear Mr. Shafiq:
      Thank you very much for the scary answer :-) probably true. But do guide me about one more thing; what are my options; let us suppose that I am unable to find a job which is relevant to my skills; but I still want to move there; as I am thinking for my kids education and so they are educated there and then are able to find jobs there. So, what should be my action plan. Should I focus on establishing a business there; if yes, then what kind of business do you think is to invest into; they typical 7-11 :-) or something else; which can give me a reasonable monthly income; where I can earn for a family of five; all kids are schooling going on right now. I will appreciate your response! Thank you.

Dear Brother
Thanks for your feedback. For your kids, yes. There are better chances for your kids to get good education as well as to grab a good job depending upon their future plans. For monthly income, you can do any business of your choice. In business, you would not depend on Canadian employers. Under such conditions, you will be much better, if you are successful to establish a good business of your abilities. I mean, in a business where you are comfortable to test your business abilities. I will definitely say 'yes' to business. For people from abroad, doing business is the best option.
M Shafiq

Dear Khan
Canada is actually a country of business opportunities. Once established, you will make progress smoothly as the Government is strongly backing up businesses. Within a few years, you will definitely start flourishing. Canadian immigration procedures are easy, simple and smooth, especially for businesses. I don't think you will face any big hurdle. If you do, there are many options available.
Please feel free if I could be of any assistance.

Hello

       First of all thank you very much for your very very informative posts. They are all very helpful.
       Secondly, I am planning to migrate to Canada. I am a specialist in startups and renewed businesses. I am currently GM for an energy saving company in Muscat, Oman but as the kids are growing up and reaching the stage where my eldest will be starting his University next year; I plan to migrate to Canada. So, basically I have two questions:
                1) Can you recommend a reliable and result oriented immigration company from there; as there are several companies here and in UAE but to be honest with you; I don't trust them.
                2) You have mentioned to apply for jobs through consultants or professional head hunters; can you please recommend some of them. So, I may contact them; as I would like to start this procedure also. Thanking you,

Warm Regards,
Mumtaz

Canadian immigration has become more complex in the past few years.  My best advice to you is to contact a recognized Immigration Consultant who is licenced by the Govt.

I can recommend "At Work Immigration", contact Ms Angelina AbuKhadra at [email protected]

Thank you so much sir for your advice...

Good Day!
