Working in Canada

Working in Canada (WiC) is one of the Canadian government's high-level pages that would be of interest to both employers and employees. This page provides access to information about government services for advertising jobs and recruiting personnel that are used by both categories of Canadians, as well as to information about the many laws, regulations, services, grants, career prospects, statistics, etc that relate to employment in Canada. It is referenced over 1,000 times in Canada's international gateway site [1]

Employers

An employer can post a job on the Canadian Job Bank, obtain information about hiring international workers and various human resources issues, learn about permit and licensing matters, and obtain information about various incentive programmes. [2]

Employees

Anyone can find general information about how to look for a job, how occupations are described in Canada, how to make a successful attempt to obtain a job, alternatives to employment, employment and work standards, requirements for working in Canada, and advice for specific categories of people. [3]

Career Exploration

A visitor can explore careers by occupation, wages and outlook, education programme, or skills and knowledge. If the visitor searches by occupation then the site provides a list of jobs from the Canadian Job Bank accompanied by median income for the geographical region, where available, and other information. The wages and outlooks option lists one of these kinds of information for either an occupation or a location. If the visitor selects education programme then the site will attempt to identify a programme based on key words input by the visitor. In the case of skills and knowledge the site displays how well the visitor's pattern of responses matches those of a variety of occupations. [4]
