Working in a Call Center? Want to leave that
environment and go somewhere foreign? If getting work locally isn’t working
out, especially if you don’t have any links as noted in my blog article
entitled “How
to find work in Jamaica at Call Centers - While Moonlighting on a Call Center
Salary Jamaican Jobs listed Online so you can Hunt for your Dream Job”, you
can always see work abroad.
But where? The economic Turmoil in the US of A created
by the 2008 Recession is still ongoing. So technically speaking, unless you’re
going to school in the US of A, going to America isn’t really a great option
now, especially as they’re tightening their immigration policy.
How about immigrating to Canada?
Check your Canadian
Embassy – Applying as a Skilled Worker and Permanent Residency
So anywhere else except US of A. Canada has great work
options, oweing to the fact that their population is sparse and they’re on the
prowl for well-educated individuals i.e. Degrees in certain skill areas such as
my Degree
in Electronics and Chemistry, to come and not only work but settle and
become citizens of Canada.
And contrary to as advertized on TV, you don’t need to
fork over a bag of money; just got to the Canadian Embassy Website and take
their prequalification assessment to see if you qualify to become a citizen of
Canada.
Just visit the website
for the Canadian Embassy and check their requirements for Applying as a
Skilled Worker. There are other
ways you can immigrate to Canada, but trust me, it’s best to go over as a
Skilled worker! So go to the Application for
a Skilled Worker and start the process there!
Work in
Canada – How to find work in Canada if you don’t know a Soul over there
Canada gives priority to persons who are holders of a 1st
Degree. Canada also is short on not only people but also certain skills. The
best way to apply for work in Canada is via the Ministry of Labour and Social
Security is currently engaged in sourcing the following skill areas:
1. Class
1 Drivers
2. Fast
Food Restaurant workers
3. Truck
and Transport mechanics
4. Welders
5. Meat
Cutters
6. Restaurant
Cooks
7. Food
Service Managers
8. Servers
9. Front
Desk Attendant/Night Auditor
For these above positions you need to have t least 2-5
years experience and you apply via the email workstudymlss@gmail.com with a detailed
Resume like mine.
Canada also requires highly skilled Professionals, the
so called Red Seal Certified personnel for the following positions:
1. Machine
Fitters
2. Industrial
Instrument Technicians
3. Electrician
4. Instrument
Technician
5. Machinist
6. Mechanical
Fitter
7. Millwright
8. Pipefitters
To apply for the these positions, you must be Red Seal
Certified, an act which the Ministry of Labour and Social Security will
undertake once you can prove that you have over five (5) years experience in
that particular field. Also you need to email a detailed
Resume like mine to lmismlss@gmail.com
or recruit@hireprodrivers.ca for
consideration.
Note:
remember you’re seeking work. Thus your Resume should be tweaked to be as
detailed as possible with an emphasis on your Work Experience and any
Certification you may have pertinent to the job.
Third party companies claiming that they can give you
work in Canada may not be so authorized, despite being registered to do so. In
fact, from a purely logical point of view, the mere fact that you can go to the
website
for the Canadian Embassy and check their requirements for Applying as a
Skilled Worker should indicate to you, dear reader, that you can also do
the same and work in Canada, as they’re either scamming you or you’re paying
for them to do the research for you.
Going to
Canada – Don’t forget to pack Warm Clothing as its cold by November
At this point the only thing you need to worry about is
Travel, Accommodations and Clothing, most of which your sponsor will provide
for you once you reach. Remember once it touches October, it’s basically Fall
and very cold in Canada, something to which you can acclimatize in a mere three
(3) months.
Having a Degree from a local University makes you very
desirable to the Canadians. Also make sure that at the time of Application for
your Canadian VISA, a have a letter for the employer as well as a detailed Bank
statements and titles for all you own i.e. House, Land, Car, etc to demonstrate
to the Immigration Officer that you have strong connections to Jamaica. Despite
your plans to emigrate permanently, you’re aim is really to secure a Work
Permit to work in Canada, so it’s really a matter of the luck of the day and
who’ll interview you on that day.
That’s a wrap! As I’ve pointed out, it’s best to apply
directly at the Ministry of
Labour and Social Security, located just down from The Gleaner Company on North Street!
My next article’ll focus on Scholarships in the USA and Canada that Jamaicans
and other International Students can qualify. Until then, all you have to do is
“Try”, Tessanne Chin Style.
