Written by Efim Cheinis, once a newcomer himself from Russia, and Dale Sproule, owner of the Canadian Newcomer Magazine, this second book in the Canadian Newcomer Series deals with all aspects of the Canadian job hunt as it relates to newcomers.
Quite often, newcomers' expectations of
the Canadian job market and job search are unrealistic. By providing newcomers with access to How to Find a Job in Canada before arriving and upon arrival in Canada, they are able to learn and understand Canadian job market facts and intricacies. Through proper preparation and learning, immigrants
will be able to provide for their families and prosper in their new country. From résumé writing to Canadian workplace etiquette, the book uses a problem/solution format to answer newcomers' most common questions.

Efim Cheinis arrived in Toronto in 1995 from St. Petersburg (Russia), where he worked in a research institute as a Senior Research Scientist. While working in St. Petersburg, he published over 70 brochures and articles in scientific and non-fiction editions, patented 30 inventions, and earned
a PhD degree. After migrating to Toronto, Efim took an interest in immigration and employment issues and began to collect information about Canadian job-search techniques. He found that the majority of newcomers were not prepared for the Canadian job market, and their job search lasted for months or
even years; this was his motivation behind writing How to Find a Job in Canada.
Dale Sproule graduated from the University of Victoria with a BA in Creative Writing. He worked in advertising and media as a copywriter and Creative Director, where he learned to express himself simply, clearly,
and concisely. In 2004, he began publishing Canadian Newcomer Magazine, which has grown to a readership of over 100,000 people per issue in Southern Ontario and has been embraced by the immigrants themselves and by almost everyone in the burgeoning immigrant service community.
