This might be the reason you only got interviews not offers.
I agree that you don't have to wait until your language skill is perfect. However, a basic skill- correct spelling probably is polite. It is not that difficult if you just use the word function "ABC" to correct all spelling mistakes before you send your letters.
In my professional area, no matter you are native speakers or not, if there is any spelling mistake in the letter, you will never get a chance to have an interview.
One more suggestion: I found you like to use some so called fancy English words. But please make sure their typical English expression when you apply them. For example: "I didn't start my seeking..." In English, "seek" is a verb but "seeking" does not necessary mean a noun. Plus, the mean of a noun consisting of a verb +ing is different from that of an original noun. If you simply say " If I did not start to look for a job" is much better.
Correction is always the first priority, not those "big" words.
English is a very beautiful language but it is one of the most difficulty languages to master.
By the way, even English speakers, they may not possess a reasonable written skill. Effective writing takes huge efforts and time to practise. I am still on a learning journey.
Good luck

I am riding a donkey, but it is too slow, so I hope to look for a horse.
If I didn't start my seeking untill my English would be good enough or perfect, I could be starved before I had good English.
In fact, I have experienced a lot of interviews, the pay rate from $10/hr to $22/hr, in two years. Yes, the employers can accept my cover letter & resume and offer me those interview opportunities.
So, to newcomer, don't be supperstitious that you must have perfect English before your acting. As a technical immigrant, as long as you express your meaning which the employers can understand, they would choose your more technical ability rather than your perfect English. They concentrate more if you can perform your responsibility to serve their product rather than you boast your English ability. Hardly can you compete English with native language people in Canada, even some "language technologist" here.
I only hope to serve for newcomer to encourage each other and to establish confidence in Canada |
