INTERNATIONAL JOB SEARCHING
Unfortuntely TEAM Work does not have the capacity to help international job seekers find employment in Nova Scotia. Also, international hiring is subject to specific protocols from the Canadian Government.
​
We do have resources to help international job seekers find work in Nova Scotia. We hope these links and information help.
ATLANTIC IMMIGRATION PROGRAM (AIP) HELP
Online Job Market (a Halifax organization) hosts a website that helps AIP participants stand out to employers by allowing them to create a personal profile (including resume, CV, personal information) that employers in the Atlantic Provinces can search from.
**NOTE: Online Job Market's AIP Help is a PAID service and is NOT connected to TEAM Work Cooperative. We cannot guarantee you employment. If you have questions about this service, please go to the Online Job Market website and ask them any questions you may have before signing up for this service.
