Acute shortage of workers in Canada, says expert
Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, December 7
Mr Nigel Thomson, member of the Canadian Society of Immigration Consultants, said here today that the Canadian labour market was facing an acute shortage of workers which had affected the development works in all provinces and territories.
“Alarmed by the critical labour market shortage, the Canadian Government had authorised the states and territories to identify occupations under pressure and employers can hire foreign workers with HRSDC concurrence. Since the work permit is an employer-driven programme hence Canadian citizenship and immigration is very liberal, Mr Thomson said here today.
Meanwhile, Mr Charles Camidge, an Australian immigrant expert, said there was also a major shortage of skilled trades in Australia and a qualified technician could get work permit in four to six months and earn good salary.
Mr Rupinder Batth, Managing Director, Can-Asia, cautioned the prospective immigrants against falling prey to the “illegal agents” and apply through only approved agents.
Lieut-Col J.S. Batth (retd), chairman and managing director, Can-Asia, informed that the firm would organise a series of seminars in the region for the awareness of the immigrants.
wish they clarified what kind of acute shortage they are facing..
is it acute labour / worker shortage ?
or
skilled professional shortage ( doctor / engineer...etc)
-----------------------------------------------
because when the news of worker shortage spreads, the skilled professionals come here and end up in worker /labour jobs not knowing what canada needed in first place.
I hope these immigrant consultants clarify the actual / specific job categories so that the correct people apply and get here.
Jut my opinion

Why would they bother to do that? If they accepted files from Truck drivers/welders/plumber etc...80% of the applications wont achieve the necessary pass marks for immigration - they will loose business n time. It is easier for them to process engineers / doctors - to hell with what the immigrants land into afterwards-they care the least.

Better all professionals watch out...( esp from India) lest they end up in so called 'labour shortage' jobs ...
