We have been talking about this and the government of Canada has gone ahead and updated their list of in-demand occupations to fill in the work force shortage and help the Canadian economy. The catch is the limited number of applications that will be accepted under these 29 occupations per year.
Ok, so are we eligible now? Here is the list of new occupations:
Restaurant and Food Service Managers, Primary Production Managers (Except Agriculture), Professional Occupations in Business Services to Management, Insurance Adjusters and Claims Examiners, Biologists and Related Scientists, Architects, Specialist Physicians, General Practitioners and Family Physicians, Dentists, Pharmacists, Physiotherapists, Registered Nurses, Medical Radiation Technologists, Dental Hygienists & Dental Therapists, Licensed Practical Nurses, Psychologists, Social Workers, Chefs, Cooks, Contractors and Supervisors, Carpentry Trades, Contractors and Supervisors, Mechanic Trades, Electricians (Except Industrial & Power System), Industrial Electricians, Plumbers, Welders & Related Machine Operators, Heavy-Duty Equipment Mechanics, Crane Operators, Drillers & Blasters – Surface Mining, Quarrying & Construction, Supervisors, Oil and Gas Drilling and Service
Now the important part is if you have been thinking about immigrating to Canada, and you have one year of experience in any one of the 29 in demand occupations above then start the process asap. Canada is capping the applications per year per occupation to 1,000. So make sure you are one of the 1,000 this year!!
Contact Immigration Zone Canada or fill up the free assessment form asap so that you know if you are eligible to apply for immigration to Canada and you are one of the 1,000 whose application will be accepted by the Canadian immigration authorities.
