Introduction
As a newcomer, you may find one of the most difficult aspects of finding a job is getting Canadian work experience. Many employers look for Canadian references to show you are able to fit into the Canadian work environment.
This can mean having the right communication and language skills, familiarity with work expectations, and an understanding of Canadian workplace culture. It can also mean proving that the work experience or skills obtained in your home country are similar to Canadian standards.
Internships and mentorships are two strategies that you can use to get the knowledge, experience, and connections that will help you to advance your career in Canada.
