Well said. Other bloggers only paint the good side of Canada to make us feel all is rosy over there which is not so. Well done dear, let's have more of these rudiments often. Cheers.
Well you are spot on with this video but one thing I know that prepared me for this journey was that it’s never a bed or roses even in the Nigerian we are coming from it’s isn’t. Honestly job searching in Canada will test and stretch you I won’t lie I also experienced same and now covid made it worse but one thing I know is that it gets better with time. Landing your dream job upon arrival is not guaranteed but some were lucky to have and others had to wait it out but like I said one thing is for sure is that u will be sorted.
Thing is, it isnt easy anywhere. Getting a job here in Nigeria is much more difficult, even with all your qualifications. I just finished my nysc, and getting an entry level job has been nothing short of hell, during the past 6 months. And when I eventually get called for interviews, they offer peanuts of 30k to 45k monthly(some of which required me to come to work on Saturdays). So, it's never easy anywhere. Particularly here in Nigeria. That's why I don't blame people who migrate LEGALLY in search of greener pastures. It could never be as bad as it is here.
This is very honest. I feel bloggers now post whatever to get the views. The most recent about the rural community stream in Alberta. There are no jobs on the bank to apply but everyone's promoting it. absolutely misleading. Thank you.
Earned a sub here 👍🏾. Spot on. I laughed when I heard you say someone applied for about 300 jobs and got 6 interviews. I have applied for over 1000 jobs and have had less than 10 interviews. 😅 Competition is crazy together with the COVID effect. What I can say is that I have become better; my resume is much better and I’m getting some call backs.
I would rather prefer dealing with competition in Canada than corruption in Africa. At least, you can improve your skills and overcome competition. With corruption, no matter what you do if you are no one you will go nowhere.
Thanks so much Bisola for coming real with this. I’m still waiting on my PPR and hopefully will relocate before the end of February. Although I already have family there but I’ve never really gotten this much undiluted story of the reality from the person so this is quite an eye opener. Already I have my CV in the Canadian format and funny enough my last job here in Nigeria I used it to apply. I’ve also been following your previous advise in building connection especially on LinkedIn. I’m hoping for the very best when I land and will work hard to get that. I’m not coming there to count mountains, lol. I can tell this was very personal to you so I’m sending you love and light. Hang in there, better days are definitely ahead 🙏🏼😊
Go to Northwest territories you will get jobs there. I met Nigerians in Yellowknife with very good jobs. And I'm talking about good jobs in finance and other good positions. Gain Your excellent work experinece in Northwest territories then move to your big abroad cities which your looking for in Canada. But if you want the big abroad cities with tall buildings you will look for jobs to no end.
Hi dear,be caurigeous ,it's sad that life in general is frustrating 😢, you just have to keep trying with time you will be fine and you will be happy again, I understand how you feel,"better is the end of everything than the beginning.
Hi. While I acknowledge the fact that IT IS very tedious landing a professional(or any) job as a new immigrant, I'll want to opine that almost everything in life is now SUPER COMPETITIVE (even immigration). My two cents advice (I've been a recruiter for 15+ years) is for everyone seeking Professional job to give themselves a marginal edge so as to be more marketable. Also, provision of ANY privacy information (especially SIN and DOB) is OPTIONAL. Except you've been hired.
Get any job and start gaining experience. Take courses if you need to and apply for entry-level positions and work your way up. Find something you will be great at and succeed in, this may take some time. I've almost doubled my salary doing this in 2 years.
I have been through this before. I stayed home for 6 months when came to US. Applied jobs on indeed and most of them asked of the last four digits of my SS. the depression I went through wasn’t easy.
Woww eji,well said.I face this often,even here in Europe.getting jobs,so frustrating.Am an Accountant as well.getting here,I av to switch my career again.May God help us all.
You are 100% right. I am facing the same issue despite 8yrs of experience in Gulf Countries. This is my 4th year and still can't get that professional job.
@@therealone8628 the jobs are there but is beyond competency (knowledge, skills, experience and training). I think our name is a factor.. We are can be easily identified as new immigrants. For instance I am QHSE professional with 8yrs of experience in Qatar. But have to do unskilled jobs to survive. Its normal over here. My job in Canada needs a bilingual person but majority of immigrants are either Anglophone or Francophones.
@@phemphemmy6103 francophone should speak French and Canada is bilingual in English and French right? So how is bilingual an issue? Or they want people who speak Swahili? Na wa o
Well, entry level advertisement allows them to offer low job payment and considering the experienced first is a win for them by paying low for a Pro. Just thinking loud.
Good evening, your videos are quite insightful ..but I am a bit confused. I currently work with the Nigerian navy and I am 31 years , I have medical lab technician and I have been working in the lab for say 8 years now I watched your first video on how to move to Canada and I have since been considering to give it a try.. I want to know my chances of getting a job there as an ex military and also a medical lab technician or do I need to still get other stuff done ...and like what? Pls help respond to this .VMT
Why is nobody talking about the creative industry? Must one do professional jobs in Canada, I leave by April and I want to go into Stand Up comedy and Cinematography? I want to be an entrepreneur is this possible? I’m going to Montreal tho!
I understand your point well. But Canada is a land where you cannot keep quiet. Speak to people network and you will get a job. My advise to aspiring immigrant make sure you NETWORK and be confident!
Never ever give out your social security number unless your sitting in front of the HR who hired you and you have been hired for that position and are filling out your employment tax forms.
@@biodunwilliams8752 In the first several months you might find there looks to be some opportunities, and you might even know several recruiters. But when the time is going, Those recruiters will show less interested on you. And do not waste any chance if you are referred by some one.
No one is talking about this. Not only in Canada, many countries it's the same. It's not easy dear, but our brothers and sisters don't accept the truth. Thanks for sharing your experience God will make a way 🙏🏼
Another fact is that 60% of employers in Canada are Indians and Chinese, they are only hiring their fellow citizens while immigrants are competing for the few jobs available. In the next few years Indians and Chinese will dominate Canada and it will be practically impossible for any immigrants to find job. This is why I encourage people to explore relocating to the USA if possible or start a business in Nigeria and go anywhere in the world for vacation. I currently shuttle BTW Canada and Nigeria for business purposes. Nigeria is a cool place to prosper in business.
you couldn't be further from truth, I am an Indian who moved to Canada with my wife in May 2018...we started applying for jobs while we were still a month away from landing in Canada, arranging Canadian phone numbers and stuff....having worked for over 2 years now....any nationality people are hiring for, they are only looking for skills and lowest pay they can offer.....usually most Indians coming are some kind of professional background , usually IT / Banking / Finance, but they go through the grind to land a proper job ..I myself got my first full time job after more than 3 months of applying and interviewing...keep your race theories for yourself......like she said that apply for 600 jobs, I honestly could apply for may be 30-50 jobs in over 3 months of time cos there weren't that many jobs even that I could apply.... while I agree with the points mentioned in the video..the race theory is completely flawed, don't seek race excuse for lack of skill sets
@@shashisonu9 i disagree with you. Race plays a big role in finding a job in Canada. That is a big fact. Most blacks who are more skilled are not landing jobs in Canada. Apart from lack of jobs, racism still plays a big role in finding a job in Canada. Before I ventured into real estate investment, I experienced a lot of this. As a former human resource administrator, I experienced this a lot.
@@greenbeautychemist. I think one thing the indians have done for themselves so to circulate the job market. When one person gets a job they bring in another Indians. Nigerians wont so that. If you go to walmart in some cities in Ontario. 90%of the workers are indians. Some have even bought dollar store franchises and hire all Indians. If Nigerians/ Africans would do that, that would be a good way of getting employment and getting job experineces they earn money.
Sorry dear to say. When you studied so many years and still depended on some company to give you money then you aren't very smart and your educatuon didn't make you smart. What is the purpose to study for so long and still looking someone else to help you to make a living?
That is why most Nigerians are relocating to the USA. The fact is the system here in Canada is so rigid. USA is the place to be if anyone want to make it faster. I,m in the process of relocating to the US. It is better over there. People should stop wasting time here. If u hv a pr in canada, you can get visa to the USA
Thanks for speaking on this. It's been on my mind to actually, especially for one that has a job currently. What if one is unable to find a job upon arrival in Canada, what next? An honest question one must come to terms with before deciding to make that move.
Lastly just like whiz queen myself and others are doing, start a TH-cam channel and work your way up. THERE are lots of Africans making good money as a video creator. This is a wealth generating avenue. Why bother to work for anyone else when you can be your own boss. Be wise friends.
Remember not everyone wants to become business owners or youtubers. Some just wants to be behind a laptop screen doing something they are passionate about.
It sounds like there might be a racial discrimination element to the issue of immigrants difficulties in finding jobs in Canada, although employers will never admit to it.
I find Canada easier for professional jobs than Australia. Based on experience, I don't think name has an effect on gaining employment in Canada. It's way better than Australia
Do you think a coop masters programme will help or make it more easy to get a job after landing in canada? Secondly, what advice will you give to an accountant that wants to migrate? CPA+Coop Masters? CPA+any available job? Coop masters alone?
If you register for a masters program in canada, you would be over qualified for most jobs. Just go for a diploma or Bsc with coop. You won't understand till you get here. Alot of your oga would be grade 12 grads.
As kenyan i just have to put it out i hate Nigerian English accent yall out here in Canada with some ridiculous accent change it though then people with african names reduces your chances of getting a job CBC documented this
So what are you saying that Kenyan's accent is better than Nigerian's, you are talking foolishness, because you don't like it? why would Nigerians care what you like or don't like ?stop putting down people's accents,stop thinking that you are better because honestly you are not,and by the way i am not from the continent of Africa .i think that is ridiculous that people cannot be themselves .nonsense
