Find a job without a degree: odd jobs in Africa and jobs in Canada
Figures updated on 12 October 2026
In short
- Taf4All currently lists 8,490 job offers that require no degree (nanny, housekeeping, security guard, private driver, sales, cooking, delivery) in 26 African countries, collected every day from job boards, social networks and employers.
- Many of them are posted by private individuals and small businesses, with a phone number or WhatsApp to contact the employer directly. References, availability and knowledge of the neighbourhood count more than a diploma.
- Canada also hires abroad for jobs where experience matters more than a university degree (agriculture, restaurants, construction, childcare, transport): 335 offers from Canadian employers are listed, with their LMIA status.
- Never pay to get a job, in Africa or in Canada: a genuine employer never asks for registration, medical or file fees.

Frequently asked questions
How can I find a job without a degree in Africa?
On Taf4All, 8,490 offers that require no degree (nanny, housekeeper, guard, driver, cook, sales, delivery) are listed by country and updated every day. Each offer gives the employer's contact details or the original ad.
How can I find a job with no experience?
Start with occupations where trust and availability matter most (childcare, housekeeping, sales, delivery), mention any informal experience (family business, market, neighbourhood), and give references people can call.
Can I work in Canada without a degree?
Yes, for some jobs: Canadian employers authorised to hire abroad (LMIA) recruit in agriculture, restaurants, construction, care and transport, where experience counts more than a university degree. A good level of French or English and verifiable experience are often required. The candidate never pays the employer.
How do I recognise a fake job offer?
A genuine employer never asks for money to hire you. Be wary of "registration fees", "medical fees" or "file fees", of salaries far above the market, and of recruiters who refuse to meet you.
