Re: Engineering job agencies in Canada
Hello and welcome to BE!
What kind of engineering? Engineer is a protected title in Canada and as such you may need to be registered Provincially to work as one... depending on your profession. In the UK we often call someone an engineer whereas in Canada the same job might be called technician. If you can give us more details, happy to help..
Do you have a visa sorted or Permanent Residence application in place? If you don't you may find it difficult to obtain a job offer as any employer would need to obtain an LMIA before you could get a work permit - a lengthy and expensive process.
Generally speaking, Indeed is the site most recommended for job hunting. We do have a wiki article on job hunting - with a list of agencies and websites for many professions.
https://britishexpats.com/wiki/Findi...Related_FieldsI'd recommend reading the job hunting section regardless, lots of helpful advice, hints and tips! https://britishexpats.com/wiki/Categ...Hunting-Canada

Re: Engineering job agencies in Canada
Hello,
This is really helpful, I’ve been confused as to which to apply for as I was unsure so currently hold neither residence or s visa!
im a Mechanical Engineering with a bachelors degree with Honours. I have 5-6 years experience working for international companies in petrochemical sites and for building services.
I am not a technician as someone who would also in the U.K get given the title engineer, whereas they are a technician.
Please yes if you could help further on what to do!
Thank you

You are most welcome!In that case you would need to be Provincially Registered as it's a Regulated Profession. Each Province has it's own regulatory body.. so you will need to initially decide which Province will offer the best chance of getting employment / gaining Permanent Residency / is affordable to live in / you like the look of!
The general consensus is to go where the work is - everything else should fall into place from that. Once you've narrowed it down a bit we can offer more advice on becoming Certified/Registered in that Province... but calling Engineer_abroad for some specific advice about Registration in Canada - you'll find his posts very helpful
https://britishexpats.com/forum/sear...rchid=10777470If you have an Honours Degree and 6 years of experience I'm guessing that you would do well in points for Express Entry (route to PR). While the main Canada forum is for general questions about Canada / employment / where to live etc., we do have an Immigration forum for more specifics - if you'd like more help / info about applying for Permanent Residency do feel free to post a new thread in there: https://britishexpats.com/forum/immi...hip-canada-33/

Thank you so much.
Do you know where I would contact for the regulatory body in British Columbia?
Is it best to get the profession registered before applying for a visa?

Re: Engineering
I've moved this post, as it was in the immi section of the forum (which is for visa related questions only), to your existing thread about engineering - please do keep all questions on the same subject together, thx.

No not as yet - you need to state the area you want to apply for - I’ve just learned of needing to having your profession registered.
