Pathways to Employment in Canada

The pathway for jobs in Canada for immigrants is different depending on your profession. Under the country’s Federal Skilled Worker scheme, some professionals can enter the country without an offer of employment if their skills are considered of high-importance to the labour market. Vocations in this scheme include nursing, welding, carpentry and careers in the oil and gas industry. Those with professions outside the scheme must find an employment sponsor (offer of work) in the country and their employer must prove to the authorities that they cannot source someone with those skills locally, before a work permit is given.

Provincial Nominee Programme

If you wish to settle permanently in a particular province you can apply for an immigration visa directly from its local government. The government will then assess your application to determine whether your skills are needed and if you plan to make a long-lasting commitment to the area. If you meet the criteria you will be nominated by the province and receive an immigration visa allowing you to apply for international jobs in Canada. The advantage of going through the provincial system is that it is often faster than the central government immigration bureau.
