Finding a job in GDL?

[Infinity_8]

I basically gave up on wanting to move to GDL. It truly is a beautiful city. I would love to live there, but if I can't speak Spanish, and even if I could I don't have a degree, I don't know how we could survive. I have however moved on to searching for jobs in Canada. I'm actively sending out my resume to many companies.

Why Canada? Your best bet is to look for work where you are, or elsewhere in the USA by internet search. If you have no skills or education, you will have to accept unskilled labor and work toward improving your skills through OJT and/or additional education. We hope that your wife is in the USA legally and that her status is not an issue. It is understandable that she might want to go home to Guadalajara but it seems she recognizes the reality of the employment difficulties for you in Mexico. Best of luck.

My wife is here legally. We have our last appointment for her permanent residency in August. We both are in the mood to try something different, go somewhere new. I've been searching Toronto, Canada and am amazed by how big the city is, how half the population are immigrants, and how low the crime rate is. The US economy is horrible, and Canada seems like a very nice place to live.

You are correct in your assessment of Toronto and Canada, in general. As retirees, our only objection is the weather and the expense. Good luck in your quest.

toronto is very expensive and the job market ain't so great. right now alberta ,british columbia and saskatchewan are desperate for all kinds of workers. although smaller than toronto,edmonton,alberta is a city of diverse ethnicities as well.
i just helped 200 mexicans from chapala secure jobs in alberta under the canadian federal gov't 2 year work visa programme. check with the canadian consulate nearest you and then start searching the want adds in those 3 provinces. it is anticipated that over the next 5 years that alberta will be short 40,000 workers. some mega projects are on hold right now because there just ain't enough workers.
edmonton has a heritage festival in mid summer where your wife will meet plenty of other mexicans.
emmigrating to canada[with no skill and no money] is not as easy[if not impossible] as getting the temporary 2 year work visas.
you have not done enough research and rvgringos advice to stay in the usa is probably correct.

I'm gonna be contacting my local Canadian Immigration office today to find out what all I need to do to get this started. I already have some companies that are willing to work with me on this but I gotta get it going.
