On 23rd June 2010, government of Canada changed the list of occupations eligible for immigration to Canada in order to meet and fulfill the current occupational demands of the Canadian society. Overall the no of eligible occupations went down and lots of occupations were removed from the list.
However, certain occupations were added to the list as well. If you have 1 year of Social worker experience than you are eligible to apply for immigration to Canada.
There is a catch, Canada is only accepting 1000 applications each year from each occupation. That means that the moment Immigration department of Canada reaches 1000 mark for Social Workers than no more applications will be processed in 2010.
So if you are a Social Worker and meet the above description with at least 1 year of experience under your belt than waste no more time. Contact us or fill up a free assessment form to find out if you qualify so that your application is one of the 1000 that are processed in 2010.
