Carpenters, plumbers, and welders from all around the world, including Nigeria, can now take advantage of a new immigration program in Canada.
On Tuesday, the Canadian government’s Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship (IRCC) agency released a statement announcing the new expedited immigration route designed especially for tradespeople in the construction, plumbing, and welding industries.
Minister of IRCC Marc Miller has said that solving the national lack of qualified tradespeople is a top priority. Helping the construction industry find and keep the talented workers it needs has thus become an important part of the answer.
The Canadian government is excited to welcome additional skilled tradespeople like the ones who were recently selected in a category-based selection process because of the vital role they play in the country.
Changes to Express Entry via category-based selection were first announced in May by then-IRCC minister Sean Fraser.
The goal of the new procedure was to provide permanent residency to foreign nationals who had demonstrated proficiency in priority occupations.
The Canadian government uses an online application process called Express Entry to admit qualified employees permanently into the country. It’s the primary entry point for processing applications to immigrate to Canada as a skilled worker.
Lawyers at Canada’s First Immigration Law Firm say that there are multiple paths to obtaining a permanent resident visa in Canada for professionals and laborers.
The Federal Skilled Worker Program and the Canadian Experience Class through Express Entry are your best bets. Those who meet the criteria for these programs and Canada’s Express entrance system will be granted entrance to Canada.
