Hello,

I am Eric from Germany and I am highly interested in any kind of job in Canada that has to do with either cable TV and additional cable services (PacketCable 1.x/2.0, etc.) or with fixed-mobile-convergence in general.
However, any job in the telco industry will do as I am not afraid of working some extra extra hours to get into that job. Until now, everything that I did was always new to me and I never failed in achieving my goal. I am not planning to start with that now.

The position should be located in either a sales environment or project management or product management. Consulting jobs are appreciated as well.

To give you a more precise outlook of what you get, take a look at my resume.

Hi,

Do you want to immigrate to Canada or just to work for a couple of years?

Hi
I’ve noticed you mentioned in your resume that you have drivers’ license. Well in Canada drivers licenses from other countries are not recognized. You have to do driving test here. You can omit that from your resume.

@contractor:
According to the information that I got from the Canadian embassy in Berlin, German driver's licenses will be exchanged without taking a new test. They told me, furthermore, that this goes for all provinces. The only thing to be presented to the local authority will be a valid vision test and proof of driving experience. In addition one will have to surrender the German license.

That's, however, the theory so far. If the reality shows that I have to take a test, then I will sit it. The information on the driver's license, even if i cannot use it anymore after I have come to Canada, might give a prospective employer some more information on my ability to handle certain kinds of vehicles. Therefore, do you think I should omit it completely; or should I simply rename into German Driver's License as I have done already?


@Tsveta
My long-term goal is to become a permanent resident of Canada and if I really really like it (which is what will happen, I guess) to become a Canadian citizen. However, any way that brings me into that wonderful country is ok. In the first place, I just wanna be there, be it on a long-term work permit or as a permanent resident.

I have checked the website of the embassy in Berlin and I am a little confused. In case I apply for residence through the skilled worker programme, can I apply as federal skilled worker and through the province of my choice at the same time or how does that work?

Hi dreier112,

The reason I was asking for your intentions is because it is easier to come to Canada as a skilled worker. It takes longer (depending on how busy the embassy is) but when you are in Canada the prospects to find job are better. For some reason the recruiters prefer to work with people who are already in Canada.
For more info on how to apply as a skilled worker go to the Canada Citizenship and Immigration web site: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/skilled/index.html

This is a quote form the CIC web site:
"After you have been nominated by a province, you have to make a separate application to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) for permanent residence.
Provincial nominees are not assessed on the six selection factors of the Federal Skilled Workers Program."

More info about the provincial nomination program: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/skilled/provnom/index.html

I hope that clears it for you. If you have more questions I'll be happy to answer them.

Hi,

As far as I know you get Canadian drivers license right away only if you are from UK, USA or Japan. I was quite astonished by this selection of countries but maybe they've changed the rules. If you are applying with US driving license, you just go for the visual test and that’s it.
I don't think you have to surrender your German driving license though.
