I have this question. I hear great things about Canada, and I want to hear and know if it is true. How easy is it to get jobs after studying, and secure work permit?
Generally, the employment rate is Canada is one of the best in the world, sometimes better than the US. Getting a job in Canada is a simple demand and supply factor, how much your skills and specialty is demanded in the job market by employers. There are fields or skills that are in high demand than others. So you should ensure your skills and degree are relevant in the job market, find out what skills employers are seeking for and do everything you can during your study to acquire these skills. Volunteer, intern and gain as much experience as you can during your study, this will come in handy when you’re in the job market. There are some of the job fields international students operate in Canada after their study;
Engineering (All the specialists fields like aerospace, electronics, power, oil & gas/energy, projects, chemical, etc).
IT (Agile Project managers, software engineers, Network Security engineers, Cyber Security analysts, business analysts, AWS engineers, etc)
Data (Database designers, data analysts, business intelligence, data engineers, artificial intelligence engineers, machine learning associates, etc)
These and some other areas make it easy for international students to transition into the Canadian market because the skills are somewhat universal, thus if you’re already in this fields in your home country, coming to study in Canada in same fields and searching for jobs in same fields are relatively easy. Unlike more region-specific fields like medicine, finance, etc. These latter fields are regulated and would require you to obtain licenses and certification used in Canada before you qualify for jobs in the fields.
Another issue is region or city. Most regions in Canada have job opportunities in some areas more than others. Cities like Vancouver, British Columbia; Toronto, Ontario; Montreal, Quebec; Calgary, Alberta; Edmonton, Alberta; Ottawa, Ontario; Fraser Valley, British Columbia; Victoria, British Columbia; Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario; Saskatoon, Saskatchewan; Regina, Saskatchewan; Winnipeg, Manitoba are some of the top destinations for students and have the best average salaries for the same job profiles.
