🍁 Do you dream of working in Canada? ▶ 10 key steps to achieve it (from any country!) 🇨🇦

If you want  to immigrate to Canada with a well-paying job , this is the step-by-step plan you need to follow. You can even start  from your home country !

 10 Key Steps to Working in Canada (2025)

 Choose your Migration Route

Canada offers multiple options:
✔  Express Entry  (Skilled Professionals)
✔  Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)  (Offers by province)
✔  Work Permit with LMIA  (Employer-sponsored visa)
✔  Study Permit + PGWP  (Study and work later)

 Recommendation:  If you have work experience,  Express Entry is the fastest route .

2️⃣ Validate your English/French level

• Minimum required:  CLB 5 (basic) for Work Permit,  CLB 7+ for Express Entry .

• Accepted exams:  IELTS General, CELPIP (English) or TEF (French).

 Tip:  If you have  CLB 9+, you multiply your points in Express Entry .

3️⃣ Evaluate your Educational Credentials

• If you have a university degree,  get an equivalency with WES (World Education Services) .

• For technical trades (electrician, welder),  get certified with Red Seal .

 Important:  Some professions (doctors, nurses) require a Canadian license.

4️⃣ Prepare a Canadian-Style CV

• Maximum 2 pages  (without photo, age or marital status).

• Include  measurable achievements  (e.g., «Increased sales by 30%).»

• Use professional templates from  Canva or LinkedIn .

 Avoid:  Latin American style CV (too personal).

5️⃣ Actively Look for Work

🔹  Sectors with the most offers (2025):
✔ Technology (AI, cybersecurity)
✔ Health (nurses, doctors)

6️⃣ Apply with a Cover Letter

7️⃣ Get a Valid Job Offer

• If the company hires you,  it must process a LMIA  (work permit).
