Benefits for newcomers seeking experience in Quebec
IT specialists who immigrate to Canada often must go through an equivalency certification process before they can practice the trade they plied in their country of origin. Taking a contract IT job can be the perfect solution to make the most of that in-between time and get a feel for the Quebec and Canadian workplace. A contract position, often lasting from six months to a year, will give you a chance to get noticed by employers and to add concrete IT work experience in Quebec to your resume. Even if it is not representative of your true abilities, the contract position will help you get a foot in the door of the IT industry, which will undoubtedly be useful to land the job you want once your degree is recognized.
