Pharmaceutical Marketing (NOT Sales) Job for an Indian Immigrant

[saumyadeepmodak]

Hi,
I work as a Brand Manager (aka Product Manager) in a Pharmaceutical Firm in India.
I am planning to migrate to Canada and have already applied for a PR.

Can someone guide me how to land up a job in the same function in Canada?
Looking for any job in Pharmaceutical Industry except Sales.

Thanks in advance.

It will be hard as the pharmaceutical industry is pretty competitive; you might not get lucky specially for higher than entry level.
Things to help you get a chance:
- CCPE Accreditation; it is the test for any one who wants to work in the pharmaceutical commercial sector.
- A one year masters in marketing or innovation management from a Canadian university will get you the connections or exposure to the industry.
I am working in Pharmaceutical sales, and those the only ideas I got that might help me, if you got to know better ideas, I would appreciate it if you shared.

Good luck
