Earthquake in Haiti

by Gean Oliveira on January 18, 2010

It is being a week since we heard about the disaster in Haiti. It is impossible to not think about what is happening there an how we could help them. It is clear that what we can do is to donate money but sometimes we don’t know the agency that we would like to donate. If you’d like to donate money, please take a look at the Haiti Relief website at CBC.

Here in Canada the Haitian community is big. The Canadian government is matching donations up to $50 million dollars. If you don’t know, our GG (Governor General) – Michaëlle Jean was born in Haiti and immigrated to Canada when she was a kid with her parents. This is her statement about the earthquake in Haiti:

How do I know if my experience matches what companies in Canada are looking for?

by Gean Oliveira on January 9, 2010

Every once in a while I receive an e-mail from a reader asking me if they can work in Canada. Sometimes, they don’t even know if they can work in Canada doing what they are already doing in where they live. For example. Doctors. If you are a doctor, your profession is on the list of 38 professions that Canada is looking for. However, you can possibly immigrate to Canada – that does not mean that once you are in Canada you will work as a doctor, because as of today, you will not!

This could happen for other professions as well, and the best way for you to know is looking for jobs in Canada in the same field as you are. Doing that, you know the requirements for the job, you know companies that could match your criteria, you have the chance to start preparing your resumes and make notes about the job. Got it?

Now the question is.. where should I look for jobs in Canada? Just read my post about it.
