Hello everyone!

Just a query...

Did anyone of you have difficulties finding work when you arrived in Canada?

How long did it take you to find work (weeks/months)?

Thanks,
Louise

You are a troll right? Either that or you've not read the million threads on the subject. And if you haven't go search and read.

And some people are incapable of reading previous answers where people have actually taken the time and effort to answer questions.

Some people seem to ask the same things over and over again.

Some people are incapable of using the "search' function

I guess it takes all sorts!

In case anyone was wondering the OP originally accused some of the people on this board of being "thick and ignorant"

There can be some extremely sarcastic and subsequently insensitive comments made on here. Many I suspect aren’t meant to be malicious rather they’re products of feeble attempts at humour. It’s the frustrated class-clown syndrome, you see. That said, to answer your enquiry, finding employment is dependent on many variables. Some people have walked straight into a job, while others have been left flailing in the capricious Canadian job market. The secret is to be flexible, very flexible and be willing take risks and consider different opportunities. With your experience, have you considered the adult entertainment business?
