To get a job in Canada you have to convince the Hiring Manager that you are the most qualified among the job applicants including Permanent Residents and Citizens. You must start applying for jobs approximately 2 to 3 months prior to your arrival in Canada.

In the meanwhile, you can update your details in the LinkedIn profile, get in touch with Canadians in your industry and initiate conversations with them online. Ensure that these are the individuals having the authority and power for hiring you. These are not Recruiters.

Recruiters will be seeking individuals who are immediately available to work. On the other hand, Hiring Managers will be familiar with job openings in the months ahead well in advance. Get noticed by them and remain in continual contact with them.

Start applying for jobs in Canada when you are 1 or 2 months away from your arrival.

Firstly, you must get a virtual contact number in Canada and you can find out the service providers through Google. Many newcomers report that once they change the contact number on their CV to a Canadian number, they begin to get calls immediately.

After arrival in Canada, you can get the real contact number and update the same in the CV.
