Welcome to a lecture on getting a job in rural Canada. What is to rural Canada, we're gonna analyze refer to the areas outside major cities in Canada, villages, small towns and places with a low population, remote agricultural lands and wildness areas. We understand Kerala is the second largest country in the world. So, most of the cities are spread among the vast land. And you found a lot of small towns in between the provinces. So a good strategy for potential immigrants is to focus instead of larger cities, just go for small towns.

When I see in this lecture, what is the best strategy based on information from a statistic Canada decided the cities are designed based on a small population center from 1000 to 29,000 people, medium population centers, between 30,009 thousand people on large urban center For 100,000 over in population, our focus on this lecture will be small population centers and medium population centers your immigration in Canada. Over 75% of immigrants to Canada land in one of the following major cities, Ontario, Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Ottawa, and Edmonton. So these are the biggest cities in Canada. In comparison to cities in other countries, the population are not as big but in relation to Canada. They are the biggest cities. And you can see here in this chart that Toronto okay Ontario, have a reputation of 5,429,524 people followed by Montreal in Quebec with over 3 million Vancouver in British Columbia with over 2 million people.

In Calgary, Alberta, with over a million Edmonton, Alberta. From around a million people, Ottawa, Gatineau, Ontario and Quebec, with close to a million people when he Becca, Manitoba was less than 700,000 people, Quebec, around the same amount, Hamilton, Ontario, then Kitchener Waterloo on campus in Ontario, London, Ontario, Tory in British Columbia, Halifax in Nova Scotia. That is the ATI and automatic province of Ontario, Windsor in Ontario. If you can see Ontario, Quebec was the biggest cities of the list. So you can see the population in these cities are now as bigger in other countries, but our focus should be based on the small cities from Quebec City down the list, and you can see that this series are smaller, but also provide durable unities in the map you can see the location of the cities as you can see, they're focused mainly in the East Coast and also in the middle of the West.

So saying, Go say will be for immigrants. The job opportunities are in the West right now. So you should go west as a good choice you want to find job quickly. And when we talk about job opportunities, there's two main problems or some users in Canada. The first one is that frantic immigration pilot very popular these days when the job offer King be arranged as an employer with our lmia under Employment Initiative in Ontario. The Atlantic immigration pilot is a step by step guide you can see here basically you need to focus first on however the employer been designated by the province.

They have to apply to the province then after They are just generic and the list, they can endorse the candidate. And once the endorsement comes with the step described, then they can they can initiate the immigration application. There's more information in another course that we have about what the Canada but the links for this program are included in our lecture. The reemployment initiative. This is the basic information. Again, you were with some project and at the end of this page, you can have the email contact.

The phone number for people looking for more information is focused, basically, Ontario, is funded by the Ontario Trillium foundation. Help newcomers find the local jobs or residents, rural communities that help increase economic prosperity as a whole. So a very good choice. If you're looking for a job in rural Canada, what is the advantage of living in rural Canada? Well, for a start, let's compare With job opening, better work life balance, next expensive housing and cost of living. When you compare the cost of living of the cities are way less than in the major cities, he help you also to have a better work life balance, everything is closer.

And the competition for job opening because of the populations being so small, you have more chance of getting a job or two jobs for your right to those areas. And also sometimes you have a different kind of job are now available in major cities. And those programs also that support and attract immigrants. With Thurmond services in those areas. More information about their employment incentive is managed by the new center of Bill, help you get an interview opportunity help you gain knowledge of life in Canada, you can receive settlement support again, and you can explore being part of a small Canadian community. So that's those are the advantages of participating in Employment Initiative.

So we highly recommend to potential immigrants to check that choice. Now the recommended steps, you need to conduct a labor market research, you need to know where you're going small series you need to densify the areas you are considering leaving and working, especially if you know that your occupation is in demand. So when you combine the two like job bank tool, when you can change your occupation, and what areas in Canada they are more in demand, then when you determine that, then you can go and check the cities. So that's the way you can do a very good research before you come to Canada. You can check if it's a city, they are on area Pacific in Canada, you can check the website where you can get all the information and contact information. You can also contact employment and service agencies in the area that can help you sell or contact employers before coming to Canada.

And you can arrange informational interviews with the petitioner. Lawyers in the area. informational interviews that we saw in the past are noticing on job interviews. These interviews are designed to learn for you to learn about the company, and also the company earlier about you. They know there's no complaining about job offer, but at least you get a spot on stop becoming known by the company and knowing the officials of the company the how the hiring decision, you're going to learn more about the culture of the company, they're going to learn more about you. And you're gonna establish some kind of network right there.

And networking is one of the main is trying to get a job in Canada, especially from abroad. So please follow this recommended step. And you will see resource as soon as you start implementing them. Now, it's good to have an assessment checklists, especially for areas that you're considering in rural Canada. So you can check with this assessment checklists, employment opportunities in those series if you will cooperate in city, small city Areas against other cities. You can check the housing costs, how far will they are, the demand for housing uses renting is thinking about buying the price range how compare one city against the other.

So, those are parameters that you can use in your assessment checklist. You can also compare about transportation. If you need a car if you can rent a car or the public transportation available. Again cause these of these means of transportation you can ever weigh every choice and compare city against city. You can do also check about education especially if you have kids. What institutions are available close to your town, the quality problem they offer.

If they have religion problems, if your religious background, know what kind of activities you can check every single line in the province, Canada is very good at having a lot of information on the internet. When it comes to weather in the cities and the area's health care, I'm in the hospital, the service provided cause access to health care centers, community support, cost of living very interesting. And we include one hour lecture on the tool that we use to collect costs of living, but you also can check their website is to Canada and there's so many sources of information that you can organize in a checklist. That way you have a very a better idea of what is the best choice when it comes to choosing a city. A good source of information that we highly recommend is the money sense report. Monitoring is a magazine publication in Canada that every year, make posts about the best places to live in Canada.
