Employment in the banking, gaming and online learning industries are expected to see a major boom in the next few years.
Location Trends for 2020 -
While major cities like Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver continue to lead as the top tech hubs, Calgary and Kitchener are both experiencing impressive growth within their tech sectors. Ottawa and Waterloo are also among the next tech markets to watch, with the University of Waterloo boasting one of the world’s leading computer science programs.
Work and Live in Canada -
Canada’s Express Entry system continues to be the fastest and most efficient route to permanent residence for workers with the right skills and experience, and results in successful applicants and their families being able to work and live anywhere in Canada. Many Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) are geared towards skilled workers with specific work experience. If your work experience is in demand, you may be eligible for a provincial nomination for permanent residence.
With an increase in job vacancy rates, an aging Canadian workforce and current immigration target of welcoming more than one million newcomers in the next three years, now is the best time for foreign nationals looking for employment to take that first step towards Canadian immigration.
