Hello, Canada job bank. Don't worry u'd be told to register to the job bank once u submit your express entry profile. You can google how to write a Canadian Resume. My advise is; try not to make your CV abstract. Let the employee know your area of expertise at a glance of your CV. Please note that I'm no expert. In the meantime, please go chill at the express entry forum. All the best. hayor2014: 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Ehrnie:If I'm right, Engineer in training; meaning you have satisfied the academic requirements but need work experience. Yes, I work in the oil patch at the moment. What I do know right now is that the oil sector is getting back on its feet. Many companies will hire you right now even without experience. I'm not sure if you're already in Canada or not but the minimum they would require of you are your safety tickets, especially first aid and H2S Alive. Both won't cost you up to $350 max. With those you can get like a well testing position and since you've had the academic know how you can attain a supervisor position fast. Supervisors make between $7k to $10k bi-weekly. As par my experience, it's been a nice but sometimes bumpy ride, sometimes work is hectic at other times it's not. I work 21days on and 7days off. Sometimes we travel out of town and when we do we get extra pay (and of course they are always gonna pay for your hotel). By default, some caucasians will always feel like they know more than you do and would want to act bossy but I sabi keep those kind in check. Long story short, you'd be making lots of money but having too little time to spend it. 18 Likes 5 Shares |

Hi folks! I'm not an immigrant. I gonna visit Toronto as a tourist. I wanna rent a car. Have you guys have any recommendations? I have found a service here , but I want to know some real experience from you! |

Snappyfingaz: I like the sound of that ...making lots of money! Thanks for your response. Yes to all 3 questions - EIT is Engineer-In-Training, I have satisfied the academic requirements and I require CAN work experience. No, I'm not yet in CAN. I'm just trying to get all the groundwork going prior to when I relocate. I presume it's not advisable to complete the First Aid and H2S Alive trainings from outside CAN...is that correct? 3 Likes |

hayor2014: Hi, please note you need to adopt resume and not C.V style when posting your profile to Canadian job search sites. Some sites you could consider are indeed.ca, monster.ca, eluta.ca. Glassdoor.ca and also LinkedIn. You can find samples of live resumes on their sites and Monster even has templates that can guide you in creating yours. I would say try to strike a balance between using the template and learning from the content of what Canadians have in their resume. Study as many job postings as you can to learn and use the language that Canadian employers use to describe job roles so you can adopt accordingly. The more your resume resembles what Canadian employers are looking for, the more you are likely to get their attention. Drop any phrase or language in your resume you don't find in Canadian job vacancies. By the time you study about 50 to 80 job roles and resumes, you will get the drift. All the best. 56 Likes 31 Shares |

Snappyfingaz: i dont know why thats the only thing I see from all you wrote to be honest, i dont know what you guys mean by oil patch, i'm guessing its colloquial for oil/petroleum industry. I have a B.Eng in civil engrng and so far my experience has been squarely on it. However, if i land in canda, I'm considering specialising in offshore structural engrng or switching to Oil and Gas engineering. for the latter, i am looking at doing an M.Eng(co-op) in oil&gas at memorial univeristy of newfoundland. would this help me get into the industry? or could you suggest a better way. 2 Likes |

Please canny folks I was doing some research on CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAMS AT UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY. please I need some input from those who might have done such or have idea of such: 1. Are these certification programs recognized, promising and available for migrants to apply for . 2) can immigrants apply without going through English test since we went through it during the EE process. |

HI guys (and babes), I would like to know if I can send money from my pof to someone in canada to pay for an apartment for me and still show the receipt for the funds sent (i.e the bank transfer reciept) as part of my proof of funds on arrival? There's a place I want to pay for and I'm considering sending the funds ahead or holding on till I arrive canada. Want to avoid extra expenses on hotels but also don't want to take the risk of reducing my funds before arrival. What to do? |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Canadianfly: 11:05am On Sep 12, 2017 |
pauloverdi: Please we need to remember at all times that VOs are not Naija people. They'll most likely refer to what they say on the CIC website if they're looking at your file and find any issues. They assume you have read the site and is familiar with what is required of you. No where does it say on the POF page that you can use receipt for paid accommodation or car or any property in Canada to present as POF. Let's not twist or try to mould the information on there to another thing. Keep it simple. Moreover, paying for an apartment you haven't seen is A MASSIVE RISK on your part, which is more than the hotel fees you are trying to save. You also have the option of Airbnb. They're cheaper than hotels and help you settle and know the area before going to commit to an apartment. 3 Likes |
