Immigration opportunities, vaccinations for work and other news of the week

Immigration selections

The past week has been pleasing with a lot of immigration shenanigans.

Canada has held two consecutive Express Entry selections. One included 2000 professionals with Canadian experience and the second included 521 participants from provincial immigration programs. The selection for candidates with Canadian experience was the smallest all year. This may be due to the fact that Canada met the annual goal for the number of invitations to Express Entry.

The Province of Ontario sent 621 invitations to candidates. The drawing was held for two streams at once: graduates with a master's degree and a doctoral degree. British Columbia selected 464 people among skilled professionals, lower and mid-level workers, and Canadian graduates. Prince Edward Island called 143 candidates in streams for professionals and entrepreneurs.

Alberta shared the results of the drawing that took place a week earlier. There were 500 candidates invited — the fourth consecutive record selection by the province. In addition, drawings began to take place every week.

Immigration to Canada

The lottery for the family sponsorship program, which allows Canadian citizens and residents to relocate their parents and grandparents, begins Sept. 20. The Department of Immigration will randomly select 30,000 applicants.

An interesting survey was conducted among the population in Russia. The respondents were asked in which country they would prefer to live if they had such an opportunity. Canada was among the three most popular countries to which Russian residents would like to move.

Immigration is an important decision that many people make to change their lives dramatically. But you have to prepare for it carefully. For example, before you buy a plane ticket, you should make sure you have done a few things in your home country to save a lot of money when you come to Canada.

Jobs in Canada

New Brunswick will again hold a job fair. This time, factory and aquaculture workers are invited to attend. The event will be held online and participants will have the opportunity to learn about ways to immigrate to the province, as well as talk to local employers and even sign a work contract.

In Canada, post-pandemic employment is rising noticeably. Along with the opening of establishments and businesses, there are new job openings, and more and more people are getting a chance to find work. Interestingly, the percentage of employed immigrants in the country is higher than the percentage of employed Canadians.

For some job seekers, working in Canada is marred by vaccinations. It is not mandatory, but some employers require employees to be vaccinated. Unions across the country are divided. Some have sided with employers, while others intend to stand up for employees' rights to make their own decisions about vaccinations.

On the subject of vaccination one can argue for a long time, but the issue of wages is much more unambiguous. Canadian specialists, as a rule, are paid decently for their work. One example is teachers. On average, teachers in Canada earn good money, and many of them earn over $100,000 CAD — this kind of money not every programmer earns. Yet these teachers work in the most common schools.
