Work in Canada
Working in Canada is of the paths towards permanent residence. While your work has to be a temporary intention, the Canadian Government has devised many paths to permanent residency for those who have acquired targeted work experience. In addition, provinces have a second look at workers with experience in their province, in selected industries. These are referred to as PNP programs.
How to come to Canada for work
Canada is going through a shortage of workers, in many professions and trades. A multitude of programs are in place to entice workers from around the world to come to Canada. The federal government has its priorities and so do each of the provinces. In adition, bilateral agreements exist between Canada and other countries. Generally, if you have a work contract from a Canadian employer, your admissibility is the only hurdle before being able to work in Canada with a work permit.
The programs are often reviewed to align them to the needs of Canadian employers. Our blog and our social media will help you to keep abreast of the changes.
While a work permit can be your first step towards moving to Canada, it is not your best foot forward, depending on who you are. Opting for a work permit is mostly geared towards those with little experience or experience outside their area of study, for example. Nevertheless, your candidacy to a permanent immigration program may be desirable based on criteria linked to your education and work experience that you already acquired in your home country.
