Many immigrants in Canada today facing unemployment issues or difficulty in securing a job most likely did not carry out proper research on job availability city by city as employment rates in each of the cities are not the same.
As a result of this, many are left with no other choice but to settle for whatever they can get even if it is way below their qualifications.
This doesn’t always have to be the case, although detailed information as this is a tad bit scarce on the internet space.
