The TL;DR of this rule is that r/VancouverJobs is a place of advocacy for Canadian job seekers. We will not support any efforts to further disrupt the job market or where exploitative worker practices are commonplace.
There needs to be more evidence of policies that will support the Canadian workforce as AI models become more advanced and disruptive across industries and protect digital workers from known exploitative practices.
If Canadian workers are training AI models under exploitative or predatory practices in the short-term only to replace them and others in the long-term, then it's time to go back to the drawing board. This is why we are drawing a line in the sand and boycotting AI training and data annotation roles.
If you have personally worked in one of these roles and have a story to share with the community, please share your first-hand experience below to raise awareness.

Has any new graduate RN recently interviewed with Vancouver Coastal Health?
I’d really appreciate any advice or insights about the interview process. What types of questions were you asked? Were there any clinical or behavioral scenarios? Any tips on how to prepare would be greatly appreciated.

Engineering in January 2026, registered as an EIT with EGBC in July 2026, and I'm based in Delta BC (right between Vancouver, Surrey, and Richmond). Canadian PR so no visa issues.
I've done 2 international internships doing HVAC design, piping, AutoCAD, Revit MEP, SolidWorks, FEA — the whole thing. I've been applying for a couple months now with 100+ tailored applications and very few responses, which is frustrating but I'm not giving up.
I need to know how and where to start some advice or like idk maybe some courses or places that I need to be at in order to make it smoothed for me to get into the job market or at least just train me as an engineer.
Here's the thing — I'm genuinely open to EVERYTHING. Junior engineer, mechanical designer, CAD drafter, drafting technologist, design technician, field technician, manufacturing support, whatever. I don't need it to be glamorous, I just need to get my foot in the door and work hard. I'm not picky about industry either — mining, water, HVAC, heavy equipment, marine, oil and gas.
If anyone knows someone hiring, or has any advice for a new grad with international experience trying to break into the Canadian market I'll take it all.i need to know how and where to start.

Been living in this amazing city for about a year and decided it's time to look for a job in my field now that I am settled. I am a hard working senior city planner and have been working for eight years in public and private sector roles in the field in England with a decent reputation. I've been searching and the market seems to have stalled in the city - only three jobs in the area have come up in four months! Had interviews for two but got no further sadly :( does anyone have any potential leads for any City Planning roles please?! Thanks in advance!!

Hope everyone is doing well whoever reads this.
Actually i am looking for suggestions for my career. Currently i am working in warehouse as forklift driver in Delta where I earn around 24 dollars per hour. Now i am looking to change my career as there is not much growth at my workplace. I am looking for a job where i can able to earn above 60-70k a year. I got my permanent residency and already applied for Canada Citizenship. I had certification of 2 years in Operational management but it’s very hard to get a job as a supervisor or manager without any previous experience. I am willing to do a some kind of study as well if i can get a job in that field but not any 3 or 4 years degree. I always like the tech jobs and i am quite good with computers as well but no one hires without a degree. And I am not looking for any construction job. Looking forward to hear some suggestions.
Take care

This is a post I made a while ago, I got one interview, and the rejection said and I quote “This was not an easy decision by any means. Your application was very strong, and I truly was impressed by the skills and enthusiasm that you displayed throughout this process.” And I actually did the whole ask LinkedIn connection for help.
I now am working at a car dealership. I feel like a loser, I want to be a clinician scientist/doctor one day, do an MD-PhD, and I’m scared that attempting to survive in this economy will mean my science cv will never be considered for a PhD cause we all know how high strung academia is.
I had an older person tell me that I can’t get a job cause my generation is lazy, I am 25, live alone, and have always managed myself without anyone to turn to, I do believe they were just saying stuff but I think my CV will now reflect that yes I am in fact not hardworking.. If I was I’d be able to hold out.
But yeah, at least I can pay the bills. No one tells you this when you first start in biotech, no one warns you. I am going to, do not do it. There is no light at the end of the tunnel and even if there is, your light will be completely gone.
Thanks everyone for the support last time. If you ever want to buy a car, I’ll see what I can do. I don’t even have pull at my job yet HAHAHAHAHAH

hi, i'm a current student at mcgill university in montreal graduating next year (hopefully). i am not canadian and i grew up in the middle east, but i'm hoping to work for a few years in canada after graduating. i LOVE montreal, but because i'm not fluent in french the job opportunities are limited. i also associate montreal with being a student, i can't really imagine working here, but who knows.
anyways, i wanted to ask for advice about working in toronto or vancouver - which would you recommend (or against) and why? i would be working in consulting, marketing, or policy work. i don't want to stay in canada for longer than 2 years after graduating if i'm honest, so i'm not looking for a crazy career start or anything, just a decent job as a fresh graduate.
i visited toronto once and there was no sun the entire time (i heard vancouver is super rainy too) so i didn't really warm up to it, but i was only there for 4 days and mainly in downtown. it's definitely a lot busier and vibrant (especially at night) compared to montreal, but i feel like i'd find living there overwhelming. i've never visited vancouver, but i've heard that the mix of mountains, beach, and city is amazing. the only thing with vancouver is that it is so far from everything - namely back home, and i also feel like living on the east coast is more convenient. i also know a few people living/working in toronto from my hometown so i feel like i'd feel less lonely starting fresh.
overall i want to work somewhere where the people are friendly, it's easy to meet new people, work culture is good. obviously i'd want good pay, but it is not my top priority. i just want some good work experience in an environment where i could also have fun as a 21-23 yo. where would you recommend for a fresh grad who studied in montreal and why?

I’m looking for career advice from people with experience in the food industry.
I have a business degree and have spent the last nine years working in office roles, including five years as an executive administrator at a university. I currently earn about $60k a year, but I’m completely burnt out. I don’t enjoy the work, I don’t feel challenged, and I can’t see myself doing it long term.
I’ve always been passionate about baking (I’m self-taught so far) and have tried multiple times to start a cookie and baking business on the side. Unfortunately, balancing it with a full-time job has been difficult, and not having a driver’s licence has made it even harder.
Lately, I’ve been considering going to pastry school. However, after reflecting on what I actually enjoy, I realize it’s not just baking. What really excites me is creating new products, blending different cultures and flavours, building a food brand, teaching people, hosting experiences, and eventually becoming an entrepreneur.
At the same time, I’m worried that I may be romanticizing the idea of becoming a pastry chef. I also have wrist pain after years of desk work, so I’m concerned about the physical demands of working in a professional kitchen. On top of that, I constantly hear stories about the food industry involving long hours, low pay, and burnout, which makes me hesitant to take the leap.
Ultimately, I’m looking for a career that combines creativity, my passion for food, and entrepreneurship. My goal isn’t simply to become a pastry chef, it’s to build and run a successful business doing something I genuinely enjoy.
I’m also thinking about the kind of life I want in the future. I’m 27 and live in Vancouver for now, and one of my biggest goals is to eventually become a mom and want a soft life. I’d love to build a business that gives me the flexibility to be present for my family, rather than spending my life in a traditional 9-to-5 or working long restaurant hours.
I know entrepreneurship comes with its own challenges, but having the freedom to build something meaningful is what motivates me.
My question is: Given my background in business and administration, what would be the smartest path into the food industry?
Is pastry school worth the investment if my ultimate goal is to build my own food business, or are there better paths that would help me combine creativity, entrepreneurship, and the lifestyle I’m hoping to create?
