Webinar Details

Stop sending resumes into the void. Landing a job in Canada as a newcomer or international student can feel like an uphill battle. Between navigating the Canadian experience requirement and ensuring your job aligns with your immigration goals, the pressure is on.

Because you are already in the country, your timeline is shorter and the need to secure employment is high. You do not just need to know what to expect, you need to know exactly what you must do today to get hired.

Join us on May 20th for an exclusive, no nonsense webinar with Kevin Lawler from the Whiteboard Collective. Whether you just landed as a Permanent Resident or are looking to transition from a student visa to PR, we are breaking down the exact steps you need to take to break into the labour market.

By participating in this webinar, you will discover:

  • For Permanent Residents: Discover how to bypass the Canadian experience trap and get employers to value your international background instead of asking for local experience.
  • For International Students: Find out how to strategically choose jobs during your studies that will boost your Comprehensive Ranking System score and maximize your permanent residency eligibility.
  • For Temporary Residents: Learn how to confidently communicate your visa status to employers and align your current work experience with your immigration goals.
  • Live Q&A: Get direct access to ask Kevin your specific career questions live.

You’ll find out what it takes to be successfully hired in Canada as swiftly and efficiently as possible. Finally, attending Hired in Canada: The Post Arrival Playbook for Newcomers and Students ensures you gain actionable insights for your next chapter.
