Top in-demand jobs for Canada 2022

 

Most countries are back on economic recovery after the COVID-19, and Canada is no exception. Immigrants are expected to make a significant contribution to the economic recovery of Canada, and this also indicates more job opportunities for immigrants. So, what are the top jobs that will be in demand in Canada in 2022? Let us find out.

Before that, let us tell you that it is necessary to have a work permit before you decide to work in Canada.

 You will have to apply for a work permit if you are not a permanent resident but have a job from a Canadian employer.

There are two types of work permits - open work permit and an employer-specific work permit. An open work permit allows you to work for any employer in Canada. This visa is not job-specific, so applicants do not require the Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or an offer letter from an employer who has paid the compliance fee.

With an open work permit, you can work for any employer except for those companies that do not comply with labor requirements. As the name suggests, the employer-specific work permit is a permit that allows you to work for a specific employer.
