Why Should I Get a Job in Canada?

Canada is in a situation that most job seekers actually want but rarely find. Canada has a high demand for employees with an abundance of open positions, but too few people are applying. This gives job seekers the upper hand. Rather than having to accept positions they don’t want because they are the only ones available, Canadian job applicants are getting to be pickier and are even able to negotiate with companies for better salaries and benefits.

If you’re considering moving to Canada, Canadian Visa Professionals can help you take the necessary steps so you can be ready to be the star of the job market.

What Do Canadian Applicants Look for in a Job Offer?

Pay is always important, but there are two factors that make a job more appealing to a Canadian applicant. Vacation time is important to the majority of applicants, especially to those applicants in their mid-thirties to mid-fifties. Time off means more time with their families and a chance to disconnect from our overly technological lifestyles. Work days typically don’t end when you leave the office anymore; people are bound to their computers and phones at home even on the weekends. Since the ball seems to be in the applicant’s court, hiring managers will need to work extra hard to highlight what beyond salary their employment packages offer. If finding a job in Canada with brag-worthy benefits intrigues you, Canadian Visa Professionals can help you start your Canadian adventure.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_basic_grid post_type=”post” max_items=”3″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1522907115634-1777932b-02fe-6″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

A report from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business stated that Alberta had a vacancy rate of 2.2%, which increased 0.2% between the 2017 second and third quarter. This happened as the area recovered from a drop in the price of oil.

Alberta has a higher vacancy rate than Nova Scotia and Manitoba (both 2.1%) as well as Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, and Labrador (all at 1.9%). Alberta has almost 34,000 private sector jobs currently available. The government hopes that these jobs will quickly be filled, in part by the experts at Canadian Visa Professionals.

While Alberta is suffering from a high vacancy rate, British Columbia had the highest that was measured by the report. Their vacancy rate was 3.4%, closely followed by both Quebec and Ontario (3.1% and 3.0% respectively). Most broad industry group ratings saw that their vacancy percentages went up during 2017’s third quarter. Retail, hospitality, and construction were the hardest hit with 50,000, 45,900, and 38,000 unfilled jobs respectively. With so many job openings, Canadian Visa Professionals are working hard to find employees who are the right fit.

This information was obtained from a survey of more than 2,000 random business owner-operator members of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. This group is the largest association of businesses with more than 109,000 members[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_basic_grid post_type=”post” max_items=”3″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1519549922355-76db65a5-0385-8″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

What Is the PNP?

Although there is a high demand for skilled workers in Canada, there are not enough workers to fill such positions. Since the Canadian government has the sole ability to issue a visa, they and the provinces have worked out an agreement called the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) in which each participating province or territory has created different criteria for their own PNPs. This program makes it easier for skilled workers to be granted access to Canada and be placed in the best province where their skills are needed. Canadian Visa Professionals can help you navigate this process from beginning to end.

Benefits of the PNP

If you are approved through the PNP, you and your family will be granted permanent resident status. You will have access to free healthcare, educational opportunities, and can live and work in Canada for as long as you want—or permanently! You will also be able to open a business, get your Canadian driver’s license, buy a home, and even apply for citizenship.

If you are a skilled worker and want to live a better life in Canada, call Canadian Visa Professionals to find out more information and to receive assistance with the immigration process.
