No Canadian Experience, Eh?

If you’re a new immigrant to Canada, you understand, only too well, what the phrase “No Canadian Experience” means as you conduct your daily job search. Regardless of the international experience you have; how highly skilled you are, and the many years’ experience you have in your field, it’s the same story – No Canadian experience. It is my hope that employers will look beyond the fact that you don't have Canadian experience, and look at what you are bringing to the table and at the asset you'll be to their organization once you get that opportunity.

With that in mind, I began several months ago to write a book on job search strategies for new immigrants to Canada. The book’s title is No Canadian Experience, Eh? – A Career Survival Guide for New Immigrants. The finished product will primarily provide strategies to overcome employment barriers, but also will include comments from other immigrants who have succeeded against all odds; some who are planning to return to their home countries, and some who are still struggling to get the proverbial “Canadian Experience”.
