Finding work
Resume, permit, job offers: points to check before applying or accepting.
Finding work in Canada requires understanding a different market: adapted resume, local references, and recognizing common traps. Here are the basics to move forward without getting lost.
First steps
Verify that your work permit is valid and check for any restrictions (specific employer, sector, duration).
Adapt your resume to the Canadian format: 1–2 pages, no photo or age, results-oriented.
Use recommended platforms: Indeed, LinkedIn, Jobboom (Quebec), Job Bank (government).
Connect with immigrant employment support organizations (Emploi-Quebec, ACCES Emploi, COSTI).
Get your diplomas and skills validated if necessary (professional recognition bodies).
Common mistakes
Accepting a job offer that asks you to pay to get the position — it's a scam.
Sharing your SIN or banking documents during the application process.
Not verifying the company's existence before an interview or sending documents.
Expecting to quickly find work in your field without first validating your qualifications.
Ignoring labour rights: minimum wage, overtime, right to refuse dangerous tasks.
