The Good News: No Barriers to Entry!
These employers are looking for hardworking individuals and have removed many of the usual barriers. For these cleaner positions, employers often:
- Do not require education.
- Do not require previous experience.
- Have no age limit.
Who Can Apply for These Jobs?
There are two main categories of applicants who can apply for these cleaning positions:
- Inland Applicants: Those who are already residing in Canada.
- Outland Applicants: Those who are currently residing outside of Canada, also known as foreign workers.
Whether you are from India, Nigeria, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, or any other country, you can apply for these jobs as a cleaner!
“But I’m Not Authorized to Work in Canada!”
A lot of people think they can’t apply for these jobs because they don’t have a Canadian work permit. Let me show you proof that this isn’t always the case.
On the job postings, you will often find a statement like this:
The employer accepts applications from Canadian citizens and permanent residents of Canada. AND The employer is looking for other candidates with or without a valid Canadian work permit.
This means they are open to sponsoring foreign workers! These cleaner occupations fall under NOC Type D, which means you could get a Temporary Foreign Worker Permit (TFWP). This permit can become your pathway to becoming a Canadian Permanent Resident (PR) down the road.
Frequently Asked Questions
You might be asking yourself a few questions before you apply. Let’s address them.
1. “What if I’m not a cleaner? I’m a doctor, nurse, engineer, or lawyer.” We always go back to the requirements. This job does not require experience, so anyone can apply.
2. “What if I don’t have the educational qualifications?” Again, we look at the requirements. No education is required. It’s crystal clear.
3. “What if I am older, in my 50s, 60s, or even 70s?” Going back to the requirements one more time, the answer is yes, you are still eligible! This job does not have an age limit.
