    It's rather surprising to read the statement. Any other source to validate the news release? The only one which I can find is on a website call CIC news.

    I have a civil engineer daughter, a BS Chemistry daughter, and an InfoTech son, would they have good chances to migrate for employment in Canada? Could you recommend procedures to initiate, and what are the probable requirements for application? Thanks in advance.

    Hi Elenojo,

    The immigration laws in Canada vary from province to province, but most provinces are immigrant-friendly. Your kids can easily get a job if they have the right skills. Many tech jobs in Canada offer easy visa processing. Get news from cisnews.com for the latest Canadian immigration news.

    In the first 11 months of 2008, employment increased by 0.8% (+133,000), a slower pace of growth compared with the 2.2% (+361,000) observed during the same period in 2007. - source: statcan.gc.ca.

    Not really that high compared to other countries.

    I wonder how Canada is not hampered by recession. Everywhere companies are cutting jobs and in Canada there are no people to do labor job. I wish I could there right now :D
    What is the average income of any labor worker there in Canada?


    Merry Christmas to All....

    I actually applied for an immigrant visa for Canada but will have to wait for 48 months before they'd give me an interview. Do you think they could speed up the process because of this labor shortage? I really hope so! ;)

    The only way you could speed up the process is by finding a Canadian employer. The Canadian Employer will be the one who will make follow-ups regarding your application. Go to Canada's government site and you will find thousands of employers.
