Canada Opens its Doors to Filipino Immigrant Workers

Over the next 10 years, Canada will need almost 2 million skilled workers and professionals, and guess where’s its looking? (via Inquirer)

Drawing on its well-established relationship with overseas Filipino workers, Canada is once again throwing its doors open to employees who can fill the labor shortages in various provinces. Just a few examples:

* British Columbia is looking for 22,000-24,000 temporary workers to help it prepare for the 2018 Winter Olympics

* Manitoba and Alberta need more caregivers, nannies, and skilled workers like pipe fitters and welders.

* Alberta is also looking for maintenance managers and facility operators.

* Prince Edward Island needs construction workers, meat processors, educators and researchers.

British Columbia has already started the process with the signing of a two-year memorandum of understanding with the Philippine government. As a result, a joint labor committee will be established to oversee the training, certification and assessment of the Filipino employees and their Canadian employers. (via Canada.com). Most of the labor needs will be handled by private recruitment agencies.

    This is really indeed a great news for every filipino who wishes to work in CANADA. I know not all nationalities are given this such privilege to work in a first world country where the skills and competence of filipinos are highly recognized globally.

    I hope they open their doors too for call center agents like me who has been working here in the Philippines for international clients in fortune 500 companies for several years now.

    More power to Filipinos!
