Finding your first job as an international graduate in Canada

Many international students who attend a Canadian post-secondary institution do not have a job offer lined up when they graduate.

Therefore, when you complete your studies in Canada – transitioning from international student to international graduate – you will need to start from the ground up with your job search.

To help international graduates get started on their job search, CIC News has compiled this list of tips and advice to help make it easier to find work.

Research
It is rare to know exactly what role you are looking for when first entering the workforce as a new graduate.

Therefore, a key step in finding your first job after graduation is researching potential career paths and jobs. In fact, Indeed.com, a popular employment search platform used by both job seekers and employers, lists research as the first step for job seekers looking to get a job after graduation.
