Employers are requiring Canadian work experience
As you apply for jobs, many employers will tell you that you must have Canadian work experience. Here are some reasons they ask for Canadian experience:
- They want to know you are comfortable in a Canadian workplace environment, so you can do your job well.
- They may not understand how your international work experience compares with the duties you will be asked to perform at their company.
This is why it is important to do all you can, in your resume, cover letter and interview, to communicate clearly and tell them what you can do. Any information that shows the kind of work you are able to perform will increase your chances of getting a job.
