The Canadian government has said that it will welcome between 240,000 and 265,000 new residents in 2010, and is particularly keen to recruit skilled workers. Most in demand are:
- Plumbers
- Welders
- Nurses
- Physiotherapists
Canada so urgently needs people skilled in these and a further 34 trades that the government is offering applicants priority visa processing. Those accepted could be working in Canada within months of starting the application process.
Among those in demand:
- Crane operators
- Chefs
- Accountants
- Pipefitters
- IT experts
- Mining engineers
Alas, no mention of journalists ...
