Many countries around the world have a wealth of highly skilled workers, but sadly salaries in those countries are pathetically low. This means that years of hard study to earn a medical or engineering degree or an IT diploma often yield a subsistence lifestyle. One way forward for professionals from poorer economies like India, Pakistan and Eastern Europe is to immigrate westwards where the higher standard of living is reflected in the size of the salaries given.
Canada is an excellent choice for any skilled worker looking to immigrate to a society with a high standard of living and an abundance of work. A low population coupled with a strong economy means that there are not enough people to fill the jobs available and to this end, the Canadian government has introduced a Federal Skilled Worker Visa in an attempt to attract foreign graduates and experienced professionals from other nations around the globe.
There are several ways that foreign professionals and qualified workers can move to Canada to work; There are several ways that foreign professionals and qualified workers can move to Canada to work; anyone with at least a years experience in one of the 38 key Canadian occupations is likely to be eligible as is a foreigner who is currently living in Canada on a temporary work permit or a student visa. Better still, anyone who can get a proven job offer before they apply for their visa is virtually guaranteed a new life here.Basically, each candidate must achieve 67 points based on a variety of selection criteria ranging from age to language ability. Canada wants its expanded workforce to be young and educated and to this end, applicants over 53 years of age do not score highly. The higher the educational qualifications the higher the points rank with those applicants with Masters Degrees or Doctorates receiving 25 points. Time served in the sense of work experience also counts highly with those people having over 4 years work experience in the same field receiving 21 points. A confirmed job offer in Canada wins a further 10. So a 37 year old university professor who spent 10 years working at the University of Delhi and has a job offer from the University of Toronto will most certainly get a Federal Skilled Worker visa. Nevertheless, it’s not just academics who are admitted to Canada on the Federal Skilled Worker visa; Canada desperately needs people qualified in the catering and hospitality business with Restaurant and Food Service Managers listed as a key profession along with Chefs, Cooks and Accommodation Service Managers. Canada also desperately needs workers to fill many gaps in its engineering, IT, Science and research posts.
