You may have created a resume before, however, for each country, the requirements for creating a resume is different.
Step 3
“…you are ready to put yourself out there for employers to find you and for you to find employers”
First, start with a social media platform to build a presence online so that employers can confirm that you are a real person. One place where you can start is LINKEDIN.
Once again, if you need someone to guide you and check to see if you’ve set up your LINKEDIN properly, we are always ready to help with that as well.

“…send applications to various job search engines.”
After setting up yourself on social media, you can begin to start researching job opportunities on sites such as Robert Half, CareerBuilder, Indeed, or LinkedIn.
Step 5
“…analyze which job positions require the NOC code.”
Something important to note, some positions in Canada require a person to know their NOC code which stands for National Occupation Classification Code. This is basically a system that allows IRCC to evaluate every immigration applicant’s work experience.
Step 6
“…consult with an immigration agency to go over all of your documents”
Be sure to contact professionals to guide you and assist you in all your processes for a greater chance of coming to Canada.
