Toronto (GTA) Networking

[TooCareless1]

Dear All,

I am an old member of this forum, seen many good times & depression times & happy times during the process of application. Finally received visa and landed on 16 July, 2013. So here i came into the new world landed in Mississauga, got no friends & relative in Canada. started planning & Job searching right away. could not find any survival job till now. here everyone talks about networking & reference. We all forum members keep good contact and we lost somewhere in survival issues and loose forum contact.

Here i am posting this thread to initiate a networking opportunity for all of us who have landed in Toronto (GTA) to group ourselves, help each other in job search & in job placement. People use to say on forum that here people are friendly but i only find this behavior in conversation only. May be my experience is not that good as others. but it is like that for me.

Just group ourselves help each other to find leads, jobs, placements. Just post any job you come across. Get yourself in & then get others in as well.

I have just completed my Security Guard course & got license as well in order to get at least security job. But still facing some difficulty in getting job as good companies require Driving license or a car.

Please come & join hands to help each other. I am available whatever i can help you guys, right now i can only provide advice on security training company which one is better or which one to choose.

Regards,

Toocareless1

Hello guys

So how are you doing by now? Have yoy got jobs already?
Toocareless1, how did you get you permit and what kind of permit is it? How did you do it without a previous job offer?
How was the Security Guard course?

Looking forward reading from you.

There was a time when security guard course was a guarantee to get as job. Not any more. I will not recommend anyone to rely on this occupation. Even with car most of job aspirants do not get enough hours to make a living. I will say people only get 15hrs of job in a week and rest of week they are left to fend for themselves.

Feb to July is a lean period for jobs across sectors.

My advise is to take what comes your way and carve out a new career . Dont hang on to your education and experience from back home.

Worked for me !!

I just completed 6 months here in Canada (Mississauga) and we are glad we moved here. I took the first job that came my way in a week of landing and making a career out of it by enhancing my skills. For now, my savings from back home are intact, I break even with my cost of living and its only getting better with car, new furniture, quality of living etc.

Hello everyone. First I would like to congratulate TooCareless1 for doing such a good job by helping others. Its just been a year that I came to Toronto and boy things certainly are quite tough and different here. The way I am looking at it is that nothing is easy in life and life is tough. People immigrate here for a better life but things are not as rosy as we thought but now there is no looking back and wasting time with those thoughts. I would say to everyone that giving up is not an option and there are tough times in life and this is the reality of life.

Keep on trying in the right direction and one can succeed but it does take time and a positive attitude. Just remember failure is not an option. I am not very regular on this forum but if anyone would like any help with suggestions or advise than feel free to send me a PM. Hope this helps everyone.
