Hey everyone! I will be moving to Canada from the U.S. in a few months time. I heard that newcomers struggle with securing jobs due to their lack of Canadian experience. What are some ways that l can overcome this hurdle? Thank you!

That is generally true but Americans are an exception. American education/experience is highly valued given similarity in corporate culture so coming from the US, you should be ok.

I'm currently on implied status in Canada (applied for an extension before the expiration date on my OWP), but lost my job two months ago. I'm actively applying (and interviewing) for new opportunities. What's a good time to mention to a potential employer that I'm on implied status? I tried coming plain from the first interview, but that has been working against me. The CIC website says I can keep working with an expired WP and SIN but recruiters think otherwise. Help!!!
