Hello SalePower,

Unless you are a skilled laborer it will not be easy to find work in Canada and meet all the requirements to earn sufficient points to pass the immigration process. Yes, Canada works on a point system.

You can well imagine that a country that shares a 5 thousand plus mile common border with the USA and where about 80% of the population live within 300km of that border Canada's economy has been negatively impacted by the American economy.

As far as immigration to Canada you should start with the Citizenship & Immigrations Canada website.

Well Thanks for answer mister really,I all ready read articles on CIC and that not help me at all,I know that I m stranger for Canadian citizens but I really need a job if I can go in Canada do you know then Sir a country that would accept me and my working history?

James

What work history? You haven't said one single word about what you do. Don't you think that might be important?

SalePower

Well tell me what is important ,I can t explain you what I do in my life but let we just said that I rich working history,can you just tell me what should I do to relocate any where

everything is important like what you do (present - past), what are your core work experiences, skills, education-if any, subjects learned in the school-if any and collage,mark shit- if any, degree certificate- if any, references- if any, your permanent address where you have lived for not less than 1 year-if any, passport- if you have any, CV- if any, medical report from authorised doctor, police clearance certificate indicating you have no criminal background or there is no pending case against you in any national/international court etc etc. all this is verified upon which you will get the job. there will be also dozens of interviews and then background check process.upon which there will be salary negotiation.once all clear and you join but may be on probation for fews months. they might sack you during this period without any pay if you fail to comply with the norms.

All sounds pretty strange to me, you can't explain what kind of work you do and you can believe me it will sound even stranger to the Canadian government and any prospective employers who you might apply to for work.

Both of them are going to want to see documentation like your educational records, diplomas, your absence of a criminal record and the like. If you can't provide that information you won't get very far with Citizenship & Immigrations Canada, trust me. They're not just going to take your word for it.

Hi Elixer17,

Well, the fact is (if you haven't already noticed) that the Canadian government will give preference to individuals who choose to live in areas OUTSIDE that highly overpopulated ribbon that runs along the Canada/US border. So, it's not putting Canada down, or putting people who want to live there down, but rather an attempt to make people think about living elsewhere in Canada and the ill effects of the country being so closely linked to the USA in economic terms.

Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver are the three most sought after locations in all of Canada for immigrants to move to, as a result for newcomers trying to find a job in those cities is now EXTREMELY difficult, while outside the tract of land running along the Canada/US border work is much easier to find.

So, now you know.... it really has something to do with it, after all.
