Introduction

Organizations across Canada benefit from the talents, qualifications and experience of having skilled immigrants on their workforce.

However, as a newcomer to Canada it can be difficult finding employers who will hire you. It can be especially hard getting the same kind of job you had in your home country. You may face challenges with the lack of recognition of your foreign education and work credentials.

If you are a newcomer, your main obstacle may be having enough Canadian work experience or accreditation to meet Canadian standards.

There are programs and services that encourage employers to recruit newcomers. This guide outlines strategies for finding companies interested in hiring new immigrants.
