Coming to Canada comes with a lot of new things and standards to learn. This guide will help you adapt to Canada's working conditions and industry.
Where to apply?

Networking
Social media is a pivotal place to network and hear of new jobs and also help you expand your network and connect with opportunities. A great start would be signing up for LinkedIn, a business professional media design to connect people. You may want to show that you are open to networking and highlight your past achievements.
If you go out and meet someone, add them on social media and connect with those whom they follow. This is why you expand your network and increase your presence on social media. Finally, there are hundreds of networking events in Calgary and Canada-wide. Simply search on google to find out more.
Recommendations
Even if you have just moved here, ask your previous boss for a letter of recommendation, and translate it into English if necessary. This will not guarantee you a job, but it might show your passion and willingness to work, giving you a better chance of moving on to the job interview. \
The interview
Think ahead and be prepared when you get an interview. The best way to prepare is to ask your family questions they were asked in interviews throughout their lives. The more questions you are prepared for, you will be prepared. Furthermore, you will want to google common interview questions and be 100 percent confident in those answers. Please do some research about the company, the more knowledge you can prove to employers will show them your desire and internet to work for them.
Additionally, it is essential to remember to dress and have positive body language such as smiling and sitting/standing upright.
If you mess up during a question, that is okay. It is only one question. Stay positive and move on to the next question. Hiring managers are simply trying to learn a little about you and then let the resume do the rest, so stay sharp and have fun with the interview.
