Hi, I am moving to Canada from 3rd world country and I need to get a job there.

Still not sure about the city, Vancouver or Montreal are options (I have to follow up)

Can I get the job as construction worker there? What payout and work hours to expect?

Is there any other job that pays well and requires no degree?

I can't handle fast food or bars. I can handle everything that requires physical strength.

Thanks.
 
Massive housing shortage so you may end up in a tent, not joking. Have a place lined up before you come, but not having credit here will hinder you even more than Canadians not finding places. I would really really research before you show up. It’s also going to be -25/30C so let that sink in.
 
You can't afford the housing cost of Vancouver/Montreal/Toronto working a construction job. If you have a skilled trade, maybe, but not as a newcomer. As already stated above, no credit history in Canada already places you last in a long line of people seeking shelter. If you do find a place to live, you are under constant threat of being reno-victed, where the landlord uses the excuse of a 'much needed renovation' to evict you and and rent out your apartment to someone else at a much higher rate 2 days later.

Buy a van/truck. Install a heater and live in that. Continually move the truck from street to street, living like a gypsy, and hope the cops don't notice you. This is Canada today. More 3rd world with each passing day (but with higher taxes)

Depends what city man, big cities like van, MTL,Tor... are tough job markets. Winter is rough here, housing market is going to shit in major cities. Construction you normally have to know someone

Winters coming up, Snow removal will be looking for muscle. Only a seasonal job though.

Edit:

Please be careful following this advice. Our winters get to -30c -40c. If you don't know exactly what your doing its going to be very dangerous, So if you go this route BE PREPARED FOR IT. Thanks. Last thing i want to be doing is walking down the side of the street and see a frozen BHWer corpse in a van :)

Living in a country like Serbia is a blessing to me while working online, if you make a stable 5k$ a month you never have to worry about almost anything, you can also buy a new apartment every 3 years or so
