Job seeker FAQs
Do I have to pay to apply for jobs through Staff-Recruit Canada?
No. We do not charge job seekers to apply for vacancies or to be considered for placement. Our recruitment fees are paid by the employers we work with. If anyone asks you for money in our name to secure a job, please contact us.
Can you guarantee me a job?
No recruiter can honestly guarantee employment. Employers make the final hiring decisions. What we can do is consider your experience carefully, tell you about suitable roles when they come up, and be clear about the next steps when you are being considered for a role.
Can you help me get a work permit or immigrate to Canada?
No. Staff-Recruit Canada does not give immigration advice and does not arrange work permits or visas. In Canada, paid immigration advice may only be given by authorized representatives, such as licensed immigration consultants and lawyers. For official information, visit Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

In Canada, resumes usually leave out personal details such as a photo, date of birth, marital status, religion and Social Insurance Number. Focus on your skills, experience and achievements.
Who will see my resume?
