EMPLOYMENT IN CANADA
Choosing a career path is not an easy decision. You may want to continue with your current occupation or you may want to enter a new field. Finding the right job and working environment can make all the difference in your life.
In order to work legally in Canada, one must have a Social Insurance Number (SIN). This is that unique number assigned to every person without which he wouldn't get a job, pay income tax and receive benefits. To acquire an application you can go to any Human Resources Centre of Canada (HRCC). Applications are also available at Canada Post Offices and other agencies.
Some provisional governments offer incentives for certain types of professionals and workers in order to concentrate them in areas that need their services. Some provinces are more in need of trades people than the others, depending on the predominant industries there. There are many types of occupations eligible for incentives and they change from time to time depending on the demand.

You might want to start your job search even before you leave your home country. By checking relevant trade journals and other publications from Canada, you can find many ads that suit your search criteria. Human Resources Centre of Canada (HRCC) specializes in helping people find jobs. There are general postings on bulletin boars at these centers as well as qualified counselors who can help you. Also contacting an employment agency either in your home country or in Canada can be of immense help.
