How to get a job in Canada from India?

Getting a job in Canada is all about promoting your skills and how well you can immerse yourself into the new culture and environment. The best ways to get a job in Canada are:

Create a professional resume

When we discuss creating a resume, we typically mean drafting a CV unique to each job profile and company. Every job description has distinct requirements that applicants must meet to land a job offer and, eventually work permit from India. Make sure your CV reflects all your skills, core competencies, and everything that makes you an ideal for the job advertised. Your CV should be designed per Canadian standards and contain all necessary keywords and pointers to generate maximum response.

Pick the suitable sources for jobs

With the availability of social media platforms and numerous job portals, it has become easier to promote yourself to employers. All you need is the proper knowledge and right resource to do so. Job portals and social media platforms such as LinkedIn have become increasingly popular among job seekers and employers. However, in the context of Canada, foreign workers must not blindly believe every job offer they encounter as there are frauds as well. So, make sure you opt for a reliable source such as Job Bank, ca.indeed.com, Canadajobs.com, etc., for job hunting.

Build your network

You can start building your network even before Canada immigration and look for a job. A strong network goes a long way in giving you access to the Canadian job market. Effective networking is an essential part of your job search activity that you must go for during your job hunting. Networking also helps you know about vacancies that are not yet advertised, but only if you have built the right connections.
