Finding employment in Canada is an integral part of the Skilled Worker program and is of great importance to most applicants. Depending on your occupation you may be able to secure rewarding employment opportunities in Canada. This is particularly true in sectors such as: information technology, applied technology, the sciences, finance and engineering. Opportunities exist for those who are determined and who do not shy away from hard work and perseverance.
Although becoming familiar with the Canadian job market is important and encouraged, it is not necessary for you to have an official job offer from a prospective Canadian employer in order for you to be granted a Permanent Residence in Canada visa. In fact, the majority of applicants receive Permanent Residence visas without having received formal job offers. Whether or not you obtain a formal job offer prior to your immigrating to Canada, your efforts in familiarizing yourself with the Canadian labour market, specifically as it relates to your intended occupation in Canada, will impress the visa officer studying your application. This is because the overriding goal of the new selection system is to select skilled workers who will make the greatest contribution to the Canadian labour market and have the best opportunities for economic establishment. Researching and knowing the labour market even before you immigrate will not only show the visa officer that you are motivated but will also increase your chances of finding a suitable job upon your arrival in Canada.
