I hear you. It is very difficult if you have education from another country, and come to Canada. Unfortunately, the credentials are often not easily recognized. I have a friend who had a Masters Degree in Marketing from Bulgaria, but could not find a job in Calgary in her field.

What she did was get her Masters Degree in Calgary, and then she found an  excellent job. I would suggest doing this. You are very still very young, and definitely have the time to get your masters. While you are going to school, try to find a job in your field part-time and in the summer. With this Canadian education under your belt, your chances of finding an excellent position will greatly increase. And Alberta is a wonderful place to go for engineering jobs!

If money is an issue for you, just go part-time. You can also apply for a student loan, and work to support your education.

All the best!!!
