What experts say for the rise in Job Vacancies

Though there is a tremendous rise in the number of jobs vacant, experts say when it comes to recruitment, placement and even internships, local students are given first priority over International students. The reason being Canadian Education is given preference is that the employers feel students educated here are more critical in their thinking and more hands-on in their approach.

When International students are not employed in any long-term job for a long tenure they get frustrated and leave the country. Thus, the experts say, if the International students develop more of their analytical thinking, become good listeners, effective communicators with good practical knowledge they can excel in the interviews and in the selection process.
