Working in Canada

Hi Byungyoon,

Finding a job can take time. Some Canadian employers may prefer to hire people in Canada because they want to fill a position quickly. If you are overseas, you can apply for jobs or contact employers directly to ask if they are hiring. You can also begin your job search while outside of Canada by preparing a resume and cover letter and doing research on your occupation and different businesses in Canada. For more information: http://www.workingincanada.gc.ca/content_pieces-eng.do?cid=201.

For information about different occupation types, you can use the Working in Canada Tool. This Tool will generate a labour market report that includes information on job opportunities, outlooks and prospects, wage information, employment requirements, and much more. To use this Tool, visit http://workingincanada.gc.ca/content_pieces-eng.do?cid=1&lang=eng.... Read More

Hello Mohammad,

Getting a license to work in Canada as a physiotherapist will depend on the province in which you decide to work. An occupation may be regulated in certain provinces and territories, but not in others. If your occupation is regulated in the region that you have selected, then you need to contact the regulatory body for that occupation in that province.

Use the Working in Canada Tool to find out if your occupation is regulated or not, and to find the contact information for the regulatory body. In addition, the Tool will generate a labour market report that includes information on job opportunities, outlooks and prospects, wage information, employment requirements, and much more.

That's a good relief to us who wishes to live in Canada. But, I hope that the age factor wouldn't hinder of my coming to Canada.

Hello Ikenna,

There are two types of occupations in Canada; regulated and non-regulated. Use the Working in Canada Tool to determine if your occupation is regulated by searching "software tester". If it is regulated, then you will require a Canadian licence before you can begin work. If it is non-regulated, you can review the employment requirements and view current job offers where specific qualifications and knowledge may be listed.
