9. 1) Should understand feedback correctly:
Canadian culture is thought to be direct in
communications, however in regards to
feedback, it is somewhat confusing for new
immigrants in Canada, feedback in Canadian
work environment is always wrapped in
positive words which might cause illusion in
mind of new Canadian person which ultimately
cause problem for taking corrective actions by
that person.
(For example, your work is brilliant but it could
be more than outstanding if you provide clear
data of it on table)
Hence, Above kind of words should be
understood if we are new here so that we can
take corrective actions for doing our job with
more perfection and effectiveness.

10. 2) Be Master of Soft Skills: in Canada, soft skills are emphasized as more vital skills
comparing other skills such as technical, hard skills. Soft Skills consists of ability of doing
work in team, respecting each other cultural ethics, not to be judgemental due to
appearance, colour, dress or language, and not to blame one another for any fault that
happens in team altogether. Instead, we should try resolving that issue by accompanying
with each other. These soft skills ensure better understanding of diverse cultures which
ultimately benefits our company as a whole, because better understanding of team ends
with best results and success.

11. 3)Widen your network:
• Network is considered to be most important factor for Canadian for better
career development and progress. according to the statistic, more than 80%
of top jobs are filled by recommendations and references in Canada.
• So we must try finding people and information which could help us to get
approach of hidden job market.
• If we have a job, we should then find people for network as well because,
for betterment, progress or for establishing own business, network of
people are required.
• No company could flourish with work of one single individual, we need
effective and trust worthy team which we could build by network only.
