DESCRIPTION:ATI Vancouver welcomes you to Canada! Vancouver is a melting p
 ot for so many immigrants from all over the world. The percentage of India
 ns migrating to Canada has increased tremendously in the last ten years. \
 nBefore you begin your next big chapter\, take a look at the four major ti
 ps to help you with your journey in your new country. These tips can help 
 you settle faster in Canada. \n1. Join Professional Platforms \nThe most c
 ommon professional platforms in Canada are used not only for job seeking b
 ut also to interact like-minded individuals and people working in similar 
 industries as you. Platforms like Indeed\, Workopolis and LinkedIn are the
  most used portals to start your career in Canada. Search for professional
  groups on LinkedIn. You can find some interesting groups on Meetup also. 
 \n2. Build your Resume/CV \nBuilding a resume and/or curriculum Vitae can 
 be made easy with simple templates available easily on the Government of C
 anada website and Indeed. They can help you create your professional resum
 e according to what is commonly used in Canada. It is best to have a maxim
 um of 2 pages and make sure it’s not too “crowded” or “wordy.” R
 each out to a Human resources personnel within the community to review you
 r resume for you – there are many people that genuinely offer their serv
 ices. The Government of Canada website also has a section in planning your
  career and to learn more about occupations in Canada. \nResume Templates 
 \nResume Builder \nCareer Planning \n3. Network \nNetworking in Canada is 
 a casual affair. You can meet up at a nearby Starbucks and make an importa
 nt connection. Ideally\, people prefer messages or emails before they meet
  someone or agree to talk on a call. Punctuality is important in these sce
 narios\, and it is polite to offer to pay during the meetup if it involves
  food and beverages. Time is an important commodity and people are careful
  who to share their time with. The aim of these meetups is not always to s
 eek a job position but can also be used to understand the organization or 
 the hiring process. Asking for a job\, unless it is being offered to you\,
  at a first meeting with a stranger is not considered polite. LinkedIn\, M
 eetup.com\, Facebook public events\, local Facebook Indian Community group
 s are a great way to network and look for professional connections and new
  friends. \n4. Volunteer \nVolunteering your time to the local community i
 n Canada is a great way to understand the culture and work ethics in Canad
 a. You can look for Volunteering Opportunity in Indian Community in Vancou
 ver or outside the community. It is also a way to meet new people from dif
 ferent walks of life and a variety of cultures. Vancouver is a melting pot
  for so many immigrants from all over the world – use that to your advan
 tage by seeking volunteer events in and around the city. Check out India C
 ultural Association (ICA) Of Vancouver if you would like to volunteer for 
 the community based not for profit organization \n5. Participate & get inv
 olved with the community \nFeel free to check out our events section and p
 articipate in them. We post events where everyone feels welcome\, attendin
 g those events you will feel to have a small piece of the homeland in Vanc
 ouver. You can also follow ATI Vancouver on social media (Facebook & Insta
 gram) to get yourself updated with the Indian Community Buzz. \n6. Check O
 ut Mentorship Programs Available in the Community \nCheck out Mentorship p
 rograms available in the community. Some programs such as SettleSmart by E
 mpower Community Service Society is focused to empower the community throu
 gh connections & guidance. \n\n  \nCredits: Written by Pooja Relekar. Edi
