Hi,

First of all, I am really thrilled to find this site.
Its a great help for people wanting to move to Canada.

I am Jatin from Mumbai. But currently I am working In Nigeria as a Financial Controller.I am CA from India having about 3 yrs of experience.

I am wish to immigrate canada. My concern is that, I do not want to leave my current job here and relocate to Canada without having a confirmed offer. Thats because I already have a good job here and would not want to trade it for "no job".
My plan is to finish the formalities first and keep trying for jobs, and only when I get a confirmed offer I will leave my current job and relocate to Canada.

Could anybody here please let me know about the current job market in Canada for Accounts & Finance and how I can go about finding a job.
Is it possible to look for a job from here and get a confirmed offer.

If I could find a job by the time I come there it would be great since I would be saving a lot of expense.


Regards,
Jatin

I would encourage you to keep applying, you never know. However, it is extremely difficult to find a job from overseas. Secondly, a CA designation from India is not treated the same here. In fact, most have to requalify by either acquiring the CGA or CA designation (Canadian). Sadly, an Indian degree does not receive as much attention as it should deserve.

The job market is not very tight here and every posting attracts at least 300 applications. If companies can find an experience well qualified applicant in Canada or USA, it is less likely to hire someone from overseas. Please bear in mind that I am not discouraging you but these are the facts.
