How to prepare
A short plan for this job fair, based on its format, audience and details.
Before the fair
- Use a Canadian-format resume: no photo, no date of birth, and results written as short bullet points.
- Check the official page for the list of employers attending, then pick 3 to 5 you most want to meet.
- Prepare a short way to explain your international experience in terms Canadian employers recognize, such as team size, budgets or results.
- Know your work authorization status and how to describe it clearly, for example open work permit or permanent resident.
- Practise a 30-second introduction: who you are, what you do well and the kind of role you want next.
- Update your resume so the top third shows the roles and skills you want to talk about at this fair.
- Write down the days and hours you can work. Part-time and seasonal hiring often comes down to availability.
At the fair
- Arrive early. The first hour is usually quieter, and employers have more time to talk.
- Open with your 30-second introduction, then ask what the team is hiring for right now.
- After each conversation, write down the person's name, the role you discussed and what to follow up on.
- Ask employers which Canadian credentials or experience matter most for the roles you want, and note their answers.
What to bring
- Printed copies of your resume, more than you expect to need (10 to 20 for a large fair).
- A charged phone with your LinkedIn profile or portfolio ready to show.
- Copies of any Canadian credential assessments you have, such as an ECA report.
- A pen and a small notebook, or notes on your phone, to record names and next steps.
After the fair
- Send a short thank-you email within 24 hours to each person you spoke with, and mention something from your conversation.
- Apply online to the roles employers pointed you to, and mention that you met them at the fair.
- Connect on LinkedIn with a short note reminding them where you met.
