At INGWE, we work with employers across Canada in foreign recruitment processing, because of our expertise we will share our knowledge in helping overseas applicants avoid these biggest mistakes.
If you need verification of our knowledge in this field, check out our LinkedIn by clicking here.
Mistake #1: The government of Canada publishes 2 lists every quarter: positive and negative LMIA applications for Canadian employers in all provinces and regions. You can search for this on the open government portal with the keywords “positive LMIA “or “negative LMIA”. Many applicants believe that if they contact these employers directly, it will lead to a job. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. 99% of these employers already have their own candidates shortlisted and are not hiring applicants who just send emails or cold call them.
You don’t know what an LMIA is? No worries! Click here and watch our video that explains LMIAs in a simple way.
Mistake #2:The 2nd most common mistake is when applicants apply for jobs on the Service Canada Job Bank portal. Again, 99% of these employers are not hiring overseas applicants through Job Bank. It’s almost impossible to get any response or interview through the Job Bank portal. The job bank has been created through the government initiative to connect employers seeking to hire with employment insurance recipients who are unemployed and on government EI.

Mistake #3: Please don’t put your religion, age, or nationality, and whether you are married with or without children. I know this is a common practice in India, the Middle East, and Africa, but it is best to avoid this on your application and resume for any Canadian employer. When an employer sees this, they know immediately that you’re not applying from Canada, and they can filter you out.

Mistake #4: When applying for jobs, don’t mention you are not authorized to work in Canada. We know this will tick off a lot of the employers you will apply to, but as soon as you select the option or mention in any way that you are not in Canada or are not authorized to work in Canada, they will filter you out, even if you’re the best applicant out there. Avoid mentioning anything, until you’ve done an interview with them. Your chances of making the employer contemplate hiring you from overseas are much higher this way. It’s not guaranteed, but it is guaranteed to give you higher chances of connecting with the employer and at least landing an interview.
