Finding work in Canada can take time, but there are many resources to help Lebanese immigrants. Start by visiting ISANS (Immigrant Services Association of Nova Scotia) — they offer free workshops, job search training, and networking opportunities. Creating a Canadian-style résumé is key: it should be concise, skill-based, and tailored to each job.

Many newcomers begin with part-time or survival jobs in restaurants or retail before moving into their fields. Volunteering is also a great way to gain “Canadian experience,” which employers value. Even unpaid experience can help you build local references and confidence.

Don’t lose heart — Canada’s job market rewards persistence. Lebanese immigrants are known for their entrepreneurial spirit; many open restaurants, small businesses, or work as freelancers. Once you adapt to local expectations, your bilingual skills and cultural adaptability will stand out.
