As per the current scenario, the Canadian Job Market has diversified and abundant career options that make Canada a safe haven for skilled professionals. Jobs in Canada are majorly accumulated in the service sector, manufacturing, and natural resources. The IT sector on the other hand is also vibrant and exuberant in nature. That is the reason that this sector is getting a lot of booms and expanding at an exponential rate. According to the statistics, the low unemployment rate in Canada has been decreasing at a considerable and consistent rate of around 5.7% every month.
The jobs that are in high demand in Canada majorly fall in the service sector. Manufacturing and natural sectors are also getting a lot of exposure in Canada as well. This potential increase in employment numbers has led many employers to expand their recruitment process outside their current region as well in order to fulfill their labour market needs. Employers are also approaching outside hiring because as per the reports, there has been a remarkable increase in the performance of immigrants in the Canadian labour market. This will not only help the employer but the government as well in reaching the immigration level set out the year.
This high demand for jobs in Canada has also made the Canadian Immigration Department welcome more immigrants in the last couple of years. This year, the target set out by IRCC was around 331,000 immigrants. The target for the year 2021 is 401,000, 411,000 for the year 2022, and 421,000 for the year 2023. This is indicative that the Canadian government is desperately seeking for new immigrants to stabilize their economy and make an impact on the Canadian labour market as well.
As quoted by the Finance Department “ The economic benefits of immigration are largely dependent on how well newcomers integrate into the labor market”. This means there is going to be an increase in the total number of immigrants. An increase in immigration will result in an increase in population that will ultimately thrive demands for goods and services. This increase in goods and services will then start contributing to the economy as well which has been the ultimate goal of the Canadian Government since the pandemic.
Around 21.9% of the population in Canada is foreign-born as a result of the European influx. That is why the Canadian government is highly motivated to increase the levels of immigration in the upcoming years. As Canadian immigrants have the purchasing and labour-power, Canada will be manufacturing more goods and services with the leverage of fewer workers and also selling them to external markets for even external and continuous growth.
Since the year 1976, the Canadian Government has witnessed the greatest spike in the Canadian labour market. Well, this can be considered a wake-up call to all the applicants who are actively seeking to work and settle in Canada. They can also do a job search as the booming Canadian economy implies greater job opportunities.
Skilled professionals can swipe up this opportunity because of the ample job openings in certain thriving economic sectors.
As compared to previous years, employment in the private sector has increased drastically by approximately 84,000 plus. If we take into consideration the increase in employees in the private sector, the total increase can be estimated at around 355,000. In the year 2019, there was a total increase of 19,000 jobs in the Retail and wholesale trade sectors.
Construction is also a booming sector in the Canadian market with a total increase of around 29,000 new jobs in the year 2019.
Scientific and Technical Services background professionals have amazing growth in their employment opportunities with an increase of around 63,000 jobs since the year 2018.
The applicant can be eligible for a Canada PR visa, Canada work visa, or Canada work permit, after the attainment of a valid job offer letter. But there are various factors that need to be considered to get a job offer letter and apply for any one of the above programs. These factors are given below:
Express Entry Program- considered one of the swiftest and most streamlined processes in the Canada Immigration System. This program uses the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) for the evaluation of an applicant’s profile who is applying for a Permanent Residency (PR) visa.
The identification of a suitable National Occupational Classification (NOC) code as per the applicant’s job profile and the domain is of utmost necessity before the filing of their immigration application.
After the applicant’s profile is submitted in the Express Entry pool, the profile is awarded a CRS score on the basis of some factors like age, education, working experience, educational qualification, and language proficiency. The highest-scoring candidates are then selected for an Invitation to Apply (ITA). After receiving ITA, the applicant can then apply for a Permanent Residency (PR) visa.
Once a valid job offer letter is obtained by an employer after securing a job in Canada, the applicant’s profile is valid for additional points of 50 to 200 CRS points. These additional points depend on the NOC code of the applicant. These additional points help improve the chances of getting a PR visa in the Express Entry program. Since every Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) has its own set of rules and streams so that they can choose as per requirements. Although getting a job offer letter helps your chances of getting a PR but getting a nomination from one of the provinces will skyrocket your CRS score in the Express Entry pool. The total CRS score that is added to your profile for getting a nomination is 600 points.
Applicants with good working experience and strong educational backgrounds can end up having high-paying jobs in Canada. The profiles that are currently in demand in Canada are given below:
