I live in UAE and I am planning to do landing, but I prefer to find a job offer in my field. I have 5 years experience in construction filed, and 2 years in oil/gas industry. I have my credential assessed and recognised by WES in Ontario. Also, I have my credential being assessed by PEO, and will take a period of 1 month for setting the exams.

Unfortunately, I have applied through many sites like jobbank, workopolis, indeed, linkedin, monster, career-cruise, but no single reply!!!

Please advise if anyone can help in finding a job.

Mohammed,

When you are applying online, you are competing against a large number of applicants. Most jobs in Canada are part of the hidden job market and you find out about them by networking. When you have not arrived in Canada it is hard to network. I would suggest you seek out an Employment Service when you land in Canada to prepare you for finding work in your field.
