Changing occupations
Most Canadians change occupations several times over the course of their working lives. If you cannot find employment in your occupation or if improving your qualifications is not an option right now, you may have to look for work in another occupation. For example, if you need to start earning money right away, you may have to look for a transitional job that does not pay as well as you may be accustomed to earning.
If you are considering changing occupations, discuss your situation with a counsellor at an immigrant-serving agency, call the Alberta Career Information Hotline at 780-422-4266 in Edmonton, toll-free at 1-800-661-3753 or talk to a counsellor at an Alberta Employment and Immigration service centre (call the Alberta Career Information Hotline for the centre nearest you). They may be able to suggest options that you have not considered.
