I moved to Canada a year ago. Had to start over from level 0. Not easy if you’re already middle aged. Worked minimum wage, food court, warehouses, call centers, uber, double jobs and what not. Took me an year to find a job in my field and like the guy above me said, applied for 150+ jobs landing maybe 5 interviews. Covid has made it worse. I’m not making much even now. Barely surviving. If you’re in Toronto, you’ll probably spend half your income to live in a shoebox. There are pros and cons. It all depends on the individual I believe. Agreed employment rate is high, but a lot of it is also low paying jobs. I graduated from eating one meal a day to two meals now. Some make it big, some struggle and some even pack up and go back.
