Canada is seeking skilled professionals from around the world to join its workforce as the country looks to address labour shortages across several key and emerging industries.
The Canadian government said international professionals with the right skills and experience can access various immigration pathways to build careers and settle in communities across the country.
The recruitment drive covers several sectors, including science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), healthcare, skilled trades, defence and cybersecurity, critical minerals, and education.
Canada is also particularly seeking skilled healthcare and social service professionals to help address shortages within its healthcare system.
Professionals being sought include nurse practitioners, dentists, pharmacists, psychologists and social workers, among others.
According to the government, qualified professionals with the required training, credentials and work experience can explore available immigration pathways to work and build a future in Canada.
The country is also highlighting the benefits available to international talent, including career opportunities with a wide range of employers and access to services designed to help newcomers settle.
Canada said immigrants can also benefit from safe and stable communities, quality education and training opportunities, as well as a multicultural environment that embraces diversity in people, ideas and languages.
French-speaking newcomers can also access dedicated community services designed to support their settlement and integration.
The recruitment initiative comes as Canada continues to attract skilled workers to strengthen its labour force and address shortages in sectors considered important to the country’s economy.
For professionals considering a move to Canada, the government encourages applicants to review the eligibility requirements of relevant immigration programmes and ensure they have the necessary qualifications, credentials and experience before applying.
Healthcare and social service professionals in particular are being encouraged to explore immigration options as Canada seeks to strengthen its workforce and provide essential services to its growing population.
