While I am eager to process Canada immigration, I am becoming sceptical cos all the jobs people are getting are not in the areas of my study. I have a Masters Degree in History and Strategic studies. Where exactly will I fit into in the Canadian workforce? All career has been Engrs and IT etc.... Do I have to become a technologist or engineer to have a career in Canada? And I don't want to get stucked with petty non professional jobs that is below Blues collar in any form. Thank you |

Lajiniran: To start with, I believe that to professionally work in history, strategic studies etc here, your English has to be impeccable. That is because these are analyst or research roles where you'll be writing reports. Like someone said, what is your current role? What work experience do you have in history and strategic studies? Lastly, the greatest disservice anybody can do themselves if they're considering relocating to Canada is belittling blue collar jobs. Such thinking can stress you unnecessarily. Post lastly, before you start giving yourself headache over job prospects, what is your forecasted CRS score? Because nowadays the journey of processing Canada immigration has passed matter of eagerness. 12 Likes |

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by Lajiniran: 7:50am On Jun 25, 2020 |
19CannyMum: I don't speak Queen's English. But report writing won't be a problem at all. You know how it is here, I don't have work experience in area of study. 1 year as admin officer at a University, 1 year as admin officer at an IT company and 5 Years at a paramilitary organization. I don't get the message at the bolded part. Kindly explain My forecasted CRS score is 470 alone, if my wife applies to doing wes,ielts etc, we will get to 650. But we are considering studying in a college for her cos she has science background, to study practical Nursing diploma even though she has Bsc Biochemistry (Science Lab Tech option). We assume, this will help her get good job easily and ultimately have a career in Health sector. So, the Study visa, after months of study, she will apply for open work permit for me to come over, then I can bring our 3 kids along. I don't know if that plan makes any sense, but as expert you may understand. But my fear like I said is my field getting jobs, I don't want to be at the mercy of a working woman in a no mans land.

DeeLeye: Exactly o. And I’m sure we’re plenty on this forum. Why can’t we arrange a chartered flight too— or create our WhatsApp forum— with anyone who knows their way around chartering planes. More so, if we could make the Canadian government send a plane to pick COPR’s from Nigeria; that will be way cool. They did that for India COPR’s not long ago. Let’s deliberate folks.

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by 19CannyMum: 12:35pm On Jun 25, 2020 |
Lajiniran: 1. There is nothing wrong with blue collar jobs. They can even pay higher than the so called white collar jobs. It is all about skills and what you have to offer. There is dignity of labor in Canada so life will be easier if you stop thinking of white collar as superior to blue collar. 2. Interesting score 3. Okay 4. Another mindset you should beware of. Canada is a country where men can take paternity leave while their wives return to work. If the idea of women being independent worries you, think very very carefully before relocating your marriage to Canada. Anyway here's the answer to your original question as gotten from a simple Google search. Graduates of military and strategic studies programs are well-placed to pursue further study in topics such as history, political science, curatorial and museum studies, globalization studies, law, or peace and conflict resolution studies. They may consider careers in research, writing, historical interpretation, the human services fields, policy making, as advisors to government and NGOs in matters of international conflict, or in the military itself. Everywhere in the world, courses like history and strategic studies are very difficult to work with. In a class of 200 only like 9 will end up working in the core field. 20-50 will work in kinds of related jobs. More than 100 will end up doing all sorts of other administrative jobs. I would say these courses do create excellent generalists though. Generalist jobs are available, but this is what I would advice if you are intent on working in your over specialized field 1. Consider getting an additional degree, the whole Canadian education ish that will help you slide easier into the job market. Maybe you'll be among the 9 in your class that get to work in the core field. And a good chance of being among the 20-50 getting a job in a related field e.g NGO, post secondary. Also analyst positions often require masters degree even in Nigeria 2. Choose your potential location wisely. Provincial capitals of non bilingual provinces could be favorable because there are more government jobs. Ottawa is an excellent choice if you are French bilingual. 3. The most important thing is to get your foot in the door even if it's a clerk position. Then based on your education and previous experience, you can start trying to get analyst roles. Alternate career routes for admin people who are willing to go back to school are Social Works, med office assistant/unit clerk etc. These are high demand fields. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Lajiniran:I'm interested to know how you arrived at this CRS score because it looks impossible.. Your wife's IELTS and credential evaluation giving you 180 points while accompanying spouses only have about 30 points allocated in the CRS.. Please recalculate your score.. All the best 14 Likes |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by amaya21: 1:13pm On Jun 25, 2020 |
Check that score again. Be sure you're not calculating work experience in Canada for you and your wife, except you actually have work experience in Canada. As 19CannyMum said, there's no need to look down on blue collar jobs. Those are valid jobs and they are an honest day's work for many. Be mindful of the "mercy of a working woman" mentality sha. Anything can happen in a marriage - what if she is the only one supporting financially for a while? Does that make you feel like less of a man? It shouldn't. Life happens. In Nigeria, Canada or otherwise. Lajiniran: 8 Likes |

Pee2Jay9:To break into the Engineering or Technical industry in Canada, the most favoured certificates are any of the following: a Journeyman trade certificate, a diploma or a degree certificate (BSc, Masters or PhD). The PGC would be useful when you are already in the company and looking to move up or change departments/divisions. 4 Likes 2 Shares |
