Canada offers many opportunities for
newcomers. However, there are many
challenges. The best way to succeed in
Canada is to be prepared!
Before you come, learn about Canada’s
labour market, where you might live and what
jobs are available. Make sure you know what
documents you must bring with you. Don’t
forget to update your resume!
In order to work, you may need to:
- find out if Canada accepts your
credentials (degrees and diplomas)
- get a license to work (if you are a
doctor, for example)
- do more studying
- successfully complete examinations
This Working in Canada section will help
you prepare for these kinds of activities.
It will also help you learn what you can do
before you come, as well as
after you arrive. |
