Right, that's the way it should be for u.

Dear Qorax,

I just want to know what is the demand for Insurance claims examiner in Canada.I amcurrently processing health insurance claims and previously I examined Travel Insurance claims.I am MBA graduate with Hospitalmanagement,Zoology -Hons,Associate from Insurance Institute of India and persuing Fellowship in Insurance Exam.I just want to know know from you what are the possibilities of getting a job in my technical line.
My medical exam in already over and I already sentmy PPT,DD to CHC,NDVO.
I am willing to know from you where should I land in Canda to get job as per my technical qualification.

1. Ur first few jobs r unlikely to be in ur field.
2. But/and, u shouldn't wait (waste time) for that and grab anything that comes along.
3. Any of the larger cities will be Ok. Smaller cities have lesser jobs/variety.
4. The idea is to initially settle, start working, and move anywhere with ur better job thereon.

Dear Qorax,
i'm a doctor but i'm not stuck on what i am. i could do any kind of work without too much bother; yet i would like to know what kinds of jobs i should possibly look for. After all, in all search engines, including the one on canadavisa.com, require me to enter what i'm looking for. The point is, i don't know what best would be suited for me - i'm reasonably computer savvy in the sense i can do Excel, Powerpoint, net search etc but i can't repair a computer when it requires more than common sense.

The resume which i prepare which depend upon a clarity about what i'm seeking.

Are there any certifications which you could recommend i do before or after i land?

i'll be acquiring one on Yoga from india from a University (3-6 months certificate course). Will it be valid for work in Canada?
Thanks a ton....
