The Expatriate Group Inc. is not an employment agency. Once individuals have found employment, we can offer additional advice from contract review to tax and financial planning and tax return preparation. Tom Boleantu has been in a similar position as you, and with overseas working experience, he can offer some ideas to seek overseas employment which are listed on this page. This is not a one week process, but rather an ongoing 1-12 month process. Good Luck! Overseas Employment is rewarding from both a financial and a life-style (travel) perspective.
The Expatriate Group strongly recommends single individuals who are currently on monthly rotation to seek non-resident tax-free status. Keep in mind that many jobs overseas publicize a tax free status (i.e. In Saudi Arabia). Unless ties are severed from Canada and re-established overseas, Revenue Canada can tax individuals on overseas employment income. Seek professional tax and financial planning advice (as offered by the Expatriate Group Inc.) to review your employment offer, prior to departure. Once you have accepted the offer and left for the new position, one cannot change the terms of employment offer. Do not accept the employer’s offer of no taxation. Residents of Canada are taxed on world-wide income.
International Pursuits
The Expatriate Group Inc. does not offer International Employment Opportunities, however some resources are offered on our Overseas Opportunities. Please be advised that, once individuals have found employment, we can offer additional advice from contract review to tax and financial planning and tax return preparation.
The Expatriate Group is not a job search company and does not provide this service. However, due to many requests on how to find employment overseas we recommend the following:
Newspaper: Review the Placement Adverts of the Saturday issue of the Calgary Herald for the past 6 months. This can be researched on line or at either the Calgary or Edmonton libraries. Keeping in mind that some overseas positions in Qatar and Libya have a 50% failure rate, often due to non-adaptability of either husband or spouse, it is advisable to apply to agencies again.
Trade Magazines: Visit the public library for copies of trade magazines in your specialty. Review active companies world-wide and telephone/fax a resume to the Personnel director. We advise telephoning the company for the personnel director. If no jobs are available ask for a referral to other active companies overseas. Fax a resume with thanks. Follow-up monthly by phone and fax.
Internet: Visit the world-wide web.
Video: For job counseling sessions visit our office to preview the video International Job Opportunities. There is a nominal fee to review the video.
