CANADA FREE RECRUITMENT 2018
At
the company I currently work at, our IT division is outsourced to HCL. Project
Managers and IT engineers from Bangalore and Noida are currently based out of
our Brampton office. They were hired as “temporary foreign workers” from
Canada’s International Mobility Program for a couple of years. After 1-2 years
of experience, they may be eligible for permanent residency from one of the
following programs:
Canadian
Experience Class (CEC) program – “I have 1 year of full time work experience in
Canada, in a job that is classified in the Canadian National Occupation
Classification (NOC).”
Provincial
Nominee Program (PNP) – “I have 2 years of full time work experience in Canada,
in a job that is NOC classified, and the company loves me so much that they are
willing to nominate me to apply for permanent residency.”
There
are many major Indian companies that have presence in Canada – HCL, Tata
Consultancy Services, ICICI Bank and other companies that have a large presence
in India such as Sun Life and Accenture.
With
Justine Trudeau and Narendra Modi aimed at getting “warmth” between the two
countries according to HindustanTimes, we hope to see more Indian businesses
flourishing in Canada in the future. Brampton, the city our very own Russel
Peters grew up in, currently has a large Indian immigrant base, and its economy
is on the rise.
What
this means for you? If you currently work for a company in India that has
presence in Canada,

When
you’re a permanent resident (PR) in Canada you don’t have to worry about the
deadline of a work permit expiry date. The less stress during a job search the
better.
If
you apply for a permanent residency using the methods that other people have
mentioned in this Quora question, you can do a “short landing.”
To
be eligible for Canadian citizenship, you have to live in Canada as a PR for 4
out of 6 years. (Bill C-6 received Royal Assent on Jun 19 2017, which will
change that to 3 out of 5 years. Yay!)
What
is a short landing? People who have permanent residency approved will land in
Canada for the first time,
If
you choose to do this, don’t let those 2 years go to waste. Network with
Canadians and build relationships as early as possible.
Use
those two years you have left to find the right Canadians in your professional
industry and start networking with them. I have detailed how you can do this on
my blog here.
LinkedIn
is one option of networking online. You can see other online networking
strategies in my blog where I write about how you can land a job offer in
Canada before arriving.
