I am scheduled to land in Canada in March, 2017 as a provincial nominee of Ontario Province. I am an administrative professional. I want to start a career in Administration. Do i need to get some Canadian experience before starting a career in that or do i need to take any courses to start a career in administration???.
Please help me
