How To Find a Job in Your Profession in Canada?

Canadian immigration is becoming increasingly simple and any foreigner with desirable work experience and language proficiency may qualify for permanent residence (PR). Canadian immigration is also unique because it allows eligible foreigners to directly or indirectly apply for PR. 

While the federal immigration program called the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) facilitates direct Canada PR, popular programs admission programs like Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), and Canadian Experience Class (CEC) targets eligible former temporary foreign workers to apply for Canada PR. 

The share of immigrants admitted through the FSWP decreased from an average of 29% over the 2010 to 2014 period to 22% over the 2015 to 2018 period. At the same time, the share of those admitted within the provincial programs (PNP and QSWP together) remained at 46%, and those landing via CEC increased from 8% to 19%. 

While immigration to Canada does not require a prior job offer, having one will necessarily boost your chances of qualification. Here in this blog, we will discuss how to find a job in your profession in Canada.
