Happy day to CANADA!!!!

Does the consultant companies in CANADA require some certificates to work there? What are the conditions related for working in there? Does Immigration in CANADA easy to apply? How can I follow the procedures??

Perhaps it would be more useful to contact PMI Chapters in Canada or governmental Canadian sites.

Tamer,

Thanks. Happy Canada Day.

Immigration to Canada is not easy. You have to satisfy certain requirements so maybe you need to contact a lawyer for this. As for work, most employers will not ask for certificates but will look if you have Canadian experience so even for people who live here but without local experience, it is sometimes difficul to find a job.

Tamer, I agree with what Rami mentioned it is very hard to find a related job after landing because you don't have a "Canadian Experience" and you don't get entry so how you can gain that experience, some guys their book is taught in universities here yet when the author come here he can't get a job because he has no Canadian experience however you can check the official website canada.ca choose English and look for immigration you can check for yourself if you can qualify before spending money.

Immigration in general to any country is not easy.

Tamer -

Two things to consider:

1. You do need to meet the minimum eligibility criteria to come to Canada - that doesn't require that you have a job offer in hand, however...

2. Riyadh is 100% correct that so called "Canadian experience" is often used as a barrier for qualified candidates to land roles.

So assuming you qualify for #1, your best bet for #2 is to have someone who has the ear of OR is a hiring manager who knows the calibre of your work.

To put things in perspective, when I did my MBA many decades ago, a classmate of mine was an international student from Greece. He went home after getting his MBA and worked many successful roles in progressively senior positions in Marketing for large multinational companies. He decided to emigrate to Canada over five years ago to avoid the economic downturn in Greece and has still not been able to find a job that's even one level below the roles he held in Greece. This is someone with a Canadian Masters degree who is fluent in English and has broad and deep marketing experience...

Kiron, thanks for agreeing with me and yet we did not speak about many things we are trying to be positive and not to demotivate people but the reality is far from pink dreams, thanks for your example out of hundreds example, anyone would think that at least his education from Canada but still it is big challenge to get a field job, some time even it is hard to find an odd jobs.

It's not the first country that makes it nearly impossible for qualified and productive members of society to enter as immigrants, live permanently and gain work in the host country. Yet they make it easy and free for others based on "humanitarian" grounds. I am all for limited humanitarian entry, but not at the expense of the aforementioned hard-working and qualified immigrants who have to pay through the nose for the privilege of paying taxes.

Sante, I am glad you brought this up because many people here they can not differentiate between refugees and skill base points system immigrants as permanent resident working and paying high tax to support the aging generation and refugees, it is a big unfair gap in the system only those who knows how to play the loop holes are benefiting at the account of others because collective cumulative taxes paying from working class is what supporting the system, I remember when I was paying $28 for diaper and $38 for powder milk 15 years ago totaling $125 per week for my daughter and the refugee gets it for free on top of the salary they receive, I am not against the real refugees who deserve to be treated nicely but some of the real one don't get the status and yet on the road people think you are abusing and putting load on the system as they think you are a refugee and tell you go back home :-)

I definitely don't want to burst anyone's bubble or demotivate them, but I've seen too many cases of someone who has been successful in their home country that has been convinced to move to greener pastures only to find that the reality does not match the demo.

I am a proud Canadian, having lived here since I was seven, but I'm also very aware of the challenges which talented folks who have not had the advantages I've had of working here face when they arrive.

Now this is not to generalize this across the country - if one is willing to live outside of the big 3-5 cities there might be better opportunities, but you give up a lot of the conveniences which might have justified the move here in the first place...
