Best Jobs in Canada for Immigrants

5) Oil and Gas Drilling Professionals
Canada is blessed with plenty of natural resources, and mineral exploration, both surface and in-ground mining, have been a critical part of its economy.

The industry has employed over 1.7 million Canadians, permanent residence, and skilled foreign workers. Canada vaunts the fourth-largest oil and natural-gas reserves, exporting fuel to almost 150 countries across the globe.

Ontario and BC are at the forefront of looking for professional oil and gas drillers through the OINP and BC PNP immigration programs, respectively.

Candidates need not have a work permit to get the job as they will automatically get 600 permanent residency points following a successful provincial nomination.

6) Registered Nurses
Although Canada’s health sector has been under pressure in the past few months, it has always advertised employment opportunities for nurses. Together with doctors, nurses are the top in-demand skills in Canada.

Individuals applying for work as professional health providers have the choice to work for a public or health facility, both providing lucrative benefits.

For example, providers under the Medicare system enjoy a 15-day annual leave on the first year of service with a chance to extend the leave period as you accumulate years of service.

There is also a 15-day sick or maternity leave with over 90% remuneration of a week’s pay. Besides, you get a public services medical plan.

7) Civil Engineer
Apart from the attractive financial perks of working as a civil engineer in Canada, applicants also get to live quality lives just like native Canadians do. New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba are the top three provinces with the highest demand for civil engineers.

An advantage of applying for an in-demand job opportunity is that you can do that under any immigration pathway, so long as you meet the work experience, age, education, and g language-proficiency requirements.

In Canada, more and more online businesses and platforms are being created, which means that web designers are highly sought after now and even in the future.
