Exciting news! The Ontario provincial government has recently taken two major steps to empower its labour force and promote diversity. Firstly, it is now illegal for employers to demand Canadian work experience in their job postings. Secondly, all job ads must now feature salaries! This is a huge win for newcomers to Ontario who are often denied job opportunities because of their lack of Canadian experience. To help newcomers navigate these changes, CIC News has created a comprehensive guide for finding work in Ontario. So, if you’re looking for career opportunities in Ontario, get ready to take advantage of these new regulations and embark on an exciting job search journey!
The province of Ontario offers numerous employment opportunities for newcomers, especially those equipped with in-demand skills that address labour gaps in the job market. The Ontario Provincial Nominee Program (OINP) uses information on in-demand skills to identify economic candidates to nominate for permanent residence in the province. This is a common practice across Canada’s Provincial Nominee Programs, except for Nunavut and Quebec.
Newcomers seeking employment in regulated professions must obtain accreditation, which assures employers that they can meet Canadian regulatory standards. They can achieve this by going through recognized organizations that offer successful accreditation services in Canada.
Bridging programs are also available in Ontario to help bridge the gap between internationally acquired credentials and the training or experience required to work in a profession. These programs are available for workers in regulated professions or highly skilled, in-demand unregulated professions.
Newcomers can benefit from settlement services offered throughout Ontario, ranging from employment help to language training and housing assistance. Eligibility for free services depends on the newcomer’s status in the country and the specific service’s funding source.
Building a professional network is essential for newcomers to secure employment in Ontario. Online networking platforms like LinkedIn and professional groups on social media provide an opportunity to engage with the Ontario job market. It’s crucial to approach these interactions politely and professionally, as these are the two aspects of Canadian business culture that are often prominent during networking.
