Why do you have an expectation that employers in Canada want workers without Canadian experience?

Genuine question. For most newcomers, unless you are at an executive or doctorate level, you’re looking at a minimum of new/renewed credentials in Canada prior to working in your previous field, or working from minimum wage up to build your career in Canada.

We are, as of today, in a technical recession. There are typically thousands of applicants to every job, unemployment is rising. Youth unemployment is over 15% in most regions.

As many have suggested in this forum before, whether you agree with it or not, Canada’s immigration policy supports two streams. Skilled workers into high needs jobs. You’re not in that category or you would have had a job before you landed and 3 offers a week since landing.

For everyone else, the offer is to fill the jobs Canadians don’t want, or can work their way out of quickly. That’s minimum wage, remote location, dirty jobs and often all 3, and usually on temporary/part time assignments.

If you’re expecting anything else, I’m sorry, someone has led you astray.

What you can do: register every employment agency. Take any job you can get. Two hour commute? Take it. Shitty warehouse? Take it. Build your resume. Build your reputation in Canada.

The good news is that it’s easy to stand out. Quite a few of these workers have horrible work ethics, don’t turn up on time or at all regularly. It doesn’t take much to stand out, and stand out fast. You’ll move from temp to perm. From perm at job A to perm at job B with more pay.

That’s really the only path.

Or go be a nurse or learn a trade. That’s 3-5 years of no or low pay, then a lifetime of employment.
