Finding a job in a new country can be challenging, as the job market and application processes might be different from what you’re used to. Let’s create a space to share strategies and support each other in our job search journeys!
We can discuss:
- Canadian-style Resumes & Cover Letters: What makes them different? Are there specific formats or content employers look for?
- Where to Look for Jobs: Beyond the usual suspects, what are the best job boards, industry-specific sites, and networking platforms? The official Job Bank is a great start: https://www.jobbank.gc.ca/home

- Interview Preparation: Common Canadian interview questions, etiquette, and follow-up strategies.
- Professional Licensing: For those in regulated professions (e.g., engineering, healthcare), how do you navigate the licensing process?
