But, job opportunities are not only in Toronto and Vancouver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To decide where to immigrate and to prepare for the Canadian job market, Maziar Taheri, an Iranian electrical engineer, made two short trips to Toronto before he moved to Canada with his family. During these trips, Taheri met with friends in Ontario to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>talk to them about job opportunities in Canada<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ask how they managed their businesses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>spend time at their workplaces<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>gather information about the standard of living in Canada.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>He says the trips gave him a realistic view of the job market and saved him a lot of time, money, and struggle when he finally immigrated to Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSome people decide to move to Canada without knowledge of the job market here,\u201d he says, \u201cand when they come, they have to spend a lot more energy &#8211; and they also risk spending more money than necessary. It can be a great pain for some of them and it can also reflect on their families. In fact, they could have done something in their countries to better prepare and save time and money. To me, these two short trips helped me get a better start in Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-skills-upgrading-to-prepare-for-the-canadian-job\">Skills upgrading to prepare for the Canadian job<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It took seven months for Taheri to find a professional job he likes. In the first two and a half months in Canada, he attended two courses for internationally trained professionals through ACCES Employment Services. The first one was Sales and Marketing Connection at Humber College, Toronto. In addition to sales and marketing in Canada, the program included resume writing and interview skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other course Taheri attended was Leadership in <a href=\"https:\/\/continuing.torontomu.ca\/public\/category\/courseCategoryCertificateProfile.do?method=load&amp;certificateId=208000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Project Management at Toronto Metropolitan University<\/a>. This program provided useful information about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>management concepts in Canada<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>team building<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>conflict management<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>and leadership styles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Immediately after he finished the two programs, Taheri started working for a small company in Toronto. Unfortunately, the company was not in good financial standing and couldn\u2019t pay him the salary he deserved. So, two and a half months later Taheri was unemployed, looking for another job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was his most difficult time in Canada. \u201cI heard from my friends that looking for a job was a full-time job and I realized that it was true,\u201d he says. \u201cSometimes I was working 12 hours a day \u2013 writing resumes, reading job postings and companies\u2019 websites, going to job fairs and to interviews. But, I had made the decision to come to Canada and start my life here. I was determined to get a good job and I am happy that I found it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p>[cjtoolbox name=&#8217;Working Webinar&#8217;]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-related-posts\"><b>Related Posts: <\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.2026-pfc.reviewyoursite.ca\/blog\/category\/working-in-canada\/\">Working in Canada | A Guide to Land Your Dream Job!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.2026-pfc.reviewyoursite.ca\/blog\/working-in-canada\/crafting-your-job-search-action-plan\/canadian-style-resume-is-it-necessary\/\">Eight Tips to Write a Canadian-Style Resume<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.2026-pfc.reviewyoursite.ca\/blog\/category\/working-in-canada\/crafting-your-job-search-action-plan\/\">Crafting Your Job Search Action Plan to Work in Canada<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.2026-pfc.reviewyoursite.ca\/blog\/working-in-canada\/crafting-your-job-search-action-plan\/essential-tips-your-first-job-interview-in-canada\/\">Essential Tips for Your First Job Interview in Canada<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-i-tried-to-socialize-with-immigrants-who-had-started-years-ago-and-have-succeeded-i-tried-to-learn-about-their-experiences-to-hear-how-they-solved-their-problems-what-their-approach-was-and-this-helped-me-a-lot\"><strong>&#8220;I tried to socialize with immigrants, who had started years ago and have succeeded.

So in my mind, I only had two alternatives \u2013Toronto and Vancouver. I decided to land in Toronto because I had close friends there. At that time, I didn&#8217;t know much about Calgary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-living-in-calgary-alberta\">Living in Calgary, Alberta<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Little by little, I understood that something interesting was going on there \u2013 related to my experience and my education. And, I decided to move to Calgary. Now I am happy to live here. If I knew about Calgary before coming to Canada, I would have moved here directly, but unfortunately, I didn&#8217;t have enough information.\u201d I realized after moving to Canada that job opportunities are not only in Toronto and Vancouver!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taheri thinks Calgary has a more relaxed and harmonious society. There is a reason for that. \u201cThe weather is not very nice,\u201d he explains. \u201cWinters are very cold and very long. For that reason, non-professional people won\u2019t come to Calgary. Very few newcomers would land here \u2013 most of the immigrants go to Toronto and Vancouver, which has resulted in the existence of many different societies, appearances, and behaviours there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for Calgary, mainly professionals who have jobs move here. Those who come have very clear ideas about their career goals. They also earn enough income to meet their financial needs. This makes the society more balanced and steady. Also, there are fewer crimes here. I like Vancouver\u2013 it is very beautiful and has good weather, it is nice to visit, but I prefer to live in Calgary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although he found a professional job and stability in less than a year, Taheri thinks skilled immigrants should be patient. They should be prepared for it to take the first two to three years in Canada to gain the same life standards they had back home. Also, he advises newcomers\u2019 spouses to be understanding and all family members to remember why they have left their own countries, relatives, and friends. Taheri also recommends new immigrants carefully spend their savings and avoid taking financial risks in their first years in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re deciding where to land in Canada, it&#8217;s important to understand that job opportunities are not only in Toronto and Vancouver.
