Immigration to Canada without English, education or a simple profession

Canada is short of workers, no matter whether skilled or unskilled with occupations that even a schoolboy can learn.

The province of Nova Scotia has recently expanded the list of occupations for which it is possible to obtain a residence permit. It includes waiters, cleaners, handymen etc. That is, you can move to the province even with high school English and the same education. And they accept applications from candidates under 55 years of age.

A little geography lesson. Canada is divided into 10 provinces and 3 territories. Nova Scotia is in eastern Canada, and another province from central Canada, Saskatchewan, decided to compete with it. Local officials looked at the success of their eastern counterparts and decided to copy their requirements for applicants, promising to give away permanent residency in Canada to all who wanted it.

Requirements

So far, the requirements are vague, after all, this is a pilot program. Saskatchewan is looking for unskilled workers in all sectors, but primarily in health care, manufacturing, agriculture, construction, hospitality and retail. It will be possible to learn the profession directly at the workplace, a lot of intelligence is not required from the candidates. It is enough that you have graduated from a full school or incomplete, but have completed secondary education by attending a vocational school and have one year of work experience in the same profession.

In language, the minimum requirement is the same as in Nova Scotia: an IELTS score of 4. This is a very low level.

The most frustrating part is that you must receive a full-time job offer from a Saskatchewan employer. Don't let this point scare you, as there is a shortage of low-skilled workers, there's a reason they want to run this program. The way the Government of Saskatchewan sees it, they'll be looking for people to fill these positions at international events, i.e. career fairs.

I don't know if employers will be coming to other countries, it's not in the program description. My guess is that the job fairs will take place online. The Government of Saskatchewan, according to the official website, will work with employers, which means there will be jobs from companies that are willing to hire foreigners.

Another great thing is that under the pilot program, an employer who hires a person from abroad will be required to help them with immigration. It is not specified how exactly, but some companies will pay for employees to fly to Canada, stay for the first time and so on.

To increase your chances of being invited, I recommend preparing a resume according to Canadian standards, taking IELTS and certifying educational credentials.

I'm confident in the success of Saskatchewan's new program. I think it will become even more popular than Atlantic Pilot. The underlying point is the simple requirements. You might ask, why aren't local Canadians settling for these positions? It seems like they just don't want to work and are sitting on benefits. I can't think of any other explanation since officials are going to such lengths.

Do not assume that foreigners will be paid less than residents. Canadian law prohibits this. Foreign employees are more motivated to work and usually do a better job.

Workers are really in short supply. My two oldest sons, who are 14 and 16, recently got jobs in fast food with ease. This is exactly the same level of low-skilled work that is required in Saskatchewan, but we live in Ontario. So many provinces have the same shortage of labour. I searched for jobs in Saskatchewan for waiter positions and related trades for the sake of interest. It gave me about 100 open positions. For the position of farm hand there were also quite a few offers.

The sons have already signed a contract where they are promised even more than the minimum wage of $15 CAD per hour. Note: these are ordinary schoolchildren with no work experience. They will work part-time after school and on weekends. I'm sure you can find an employer too, if you put in the effort.
