Online job portals have become central to Canadian companies' global hiring, with many employers now open to sponsoring foreign workers where local talent is limited.
It is now left for those interested to diligently search for the jobs and ensure their qualifications meet the requirements.
This is because employment in Canada can also serve as a pathway to permanent residency under various immigration programs.
Here are the major websites to look for jobs in Canada
1- Indeed Canada
Indeed remains one of the most widely used job search engines in Canada. It allows users to filter jobs that match their preferences and also clearly provides information on visa sponsorship.
2- Workopolis
Workopolis is one of Canada’s longstanding domestic job portals. Some postings also indicate whether employers are open to hiring foreign workers or supporting Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) processes.
3- Monster Canada
Monster Canada offers resume evaluation services and job-matching systems that help candidates assess how their skills align with Canadian market requirements.
4- eJobbo
eJobbo is an emerging technology-driven recruitment platform that allows candidates to upload video resumes and digital profiles. Its algorithm-based system aims to match applicants with employers more precisely.
5- Canada Job Bank
The Canada Job Bank remains the official federal employment portal. It provides verified listings and includes a Job Match tool that connects employers with immigration candidates, including those in the Express Entry pool.
The platform is widely regarded as one of the most reliable sources for labour market-aligned job opportunities.
How a Nigerian can improve their chances of getting a job
Experts recommend that foreign job seekers:
- Apply beyond major cities
- Use Canadian-style resumes that focus on measurable achievements.
- Target in-demand occupations before applying.
- Research whether a role requires an LMIA or qualifies for LMIA exemptions.
- Explore regional immigration pathways tied to employer job offers.
While many positions still require employer sponsorship or LMIA approval, some immigration streams provide exemptions depending on occupation and program eligibility.
