How to work in canada? where?

Question

Hi, I'm a french girl and I would like to go to canada to work in the hospitality industry. I speak french and spanish, and my english is not so bad but it's not fluent. Please, if someone can just help me with advices, or something, I will be very glad.

Answer 1

Unfortunately, Canada already has lot of hospitality workers so there wouldn't be any jobs for foreign trained workers. Employers are not permitted to hire foreigners for a job if an equally qualified Canadian can do the job. Nevertheless, look through http://www.cic.gc.ca and learn the procedures for immigrating.

Answer 2

Canada has a great deal of French settlements.  The largest of course being Quebec, whereby the language spoken is Quebecois.  In more Rural Quebec you will find that the majority of people speak French only however in major centres like Quebec City and Montreal you will find being fluent in both French and English a necessity.

Quebec is probably you best bet, especially a city like Montreal.   Montreal has a massive tourist industry.  It is a wonderful and vibrant city with a lot of offer.  It has a rich history and is a very warm and welcoming city.

There are also French settlements throughout Canada, in the maratimes in New Brunswick you have the Acadians and through the Praries the Metis.

Your English seems from the very little you have written, very good.  Knowing Spanish is also a great asset to have.   I would contact tourism quebec, or montreal.  Although they are local agencies you having a grasp of three major languages is something very desirable.

Good luck.

Answer 3

It's hard to get a work permit in Canada.

Here is the application form page: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information...

You'll have to find a job yourself, one that the employer can't find canadians to do. (Because your employer will need to sponsor you, which is a fair bit of work).

Answer 4

Canada is big and has a lot more room for more immigrants.  Look into provincial nominee programs.  I believe BC needs people for hospitality industry.  Look at their list of people most wanted at http://www.ecdev.gov.bc.ca/ProgramsAndSe...

You see, hotel front desk clerk, needed and fast tracked and fast forwarded to permanent residency.  You just have to get a job offer, getting the work permit might take a couple of months and within a year, you could have permanent residency.

You can also look into immigrating to Quebec but I have heard that their French is a bit different and maybe they make fun of your accent.    Check out http://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca...

Good luck.

Answer 5

Hi,

You don't speak about your qualifications and how much expoerience you have. You'd be better equipt to apply for work in Canada by approaching an Immigration Specialist to evaluate your situation and weigh out your options.

I suggest you contact The Immigration Unit (Immigration Group PLC) for some insight. In fact, complete their Free Online Assessment - a consultant will contact you asap.
