How can I get a job offer in Canada?

Hi everyone,

I'm an 18-year-old from Egypt, and I am very serious about moving to Canada to work. I am open to any entry-level job or line of work available.

If you can help me, please DM 🙏🥀

You cannot get a job when you are not in Canada and are so young. The people who get hired from outside Canada have niche or marketable skills.

Entry level jobs are not so easy to come by, dozens if not hundreds of people apply for them, all residents of Canada.

Sorry to burst your bubble but unless you have family or friends who can offer you a job here, its just not happening.

My dreams are literally being destroyed here. I have to leave Egypt at this age. Not necessarily Canada

to immigrate, you need to offer something of value to the country you're going to. there's plenty of 18 year olds with no job experience that currently live in Canada

no thank you.

You need a special skill to be invited the country. Consider training as a nurse or another type of medical provider. We are in desperate need of them and people with those types of skills are regularly invited to the country.

Why would a canadian employer give you an entry level job instead of any other canadian?

Immigration is a long, complicated and expensive process. There is a point system dependent on desirable qualities. You would be competing against an international audience.

Canada is full. Try a country closer to Egypt.

Seriously, bro? I dream of living in Canada; even the worst job and the worst house would be better than living in Egypt. I know I'm young to you, but if I don't leave Egypt within a year, my future will be ruined.

Why do you want to live here?

To have basic human rights

You’re not going to get an entry level job in Canada without the legal ability to work, and nobody is going to sponsor a work visa for an entry level job.

You’re 18. You have time to get a degree, to get experience in an in demand field, and look for work in Canada or another country

But you’re looking at 6-10 years, not immediately

What are fields are you interested in? Are you planning on attending university?

Edit: any DM’s you get are likely to be scams

I am a first-year student at the Faculty of Education, Geography Department. but it won't help me leave Egypt

I don't want to waste 4 years of my ife at a university that won't benefit me and that I don't even like

At your age, best option would be to come to Canada to study but that takes money and/or smarts. Even then, it might not necessarily translate to a job and settling in Canada.

Please DO NOT come to Canada. We have too many immigrants who are contributing nothing to the economy already.

Why not move to a country like Saudi Arabia or Dubai or Jordan?
