As someone looking to move to Canada, we understand that Canadian immigration can be overwhelming. Not only are you leaving your home and potentially your family members, but you’re also starting over in a completely new environment.
Because of this, when moving to Canada, one of the top priorities and concerns for most newcomers is employment.
In order to support yourself—and possibly your family members who are coming with you—a job is an absolute must. This is especially true if you plan on living in a larger city like Toronto that tends to have a higher cost of living.
If you’re planning to move to Canada, here are 5 job vacancies the country is currently experiencing. Seek out jobs in these industries, and there’s a good chance you’ll be able to start out your life in Canada, employed.
5 Job Vacancies in Canada for Newcomers
Registered Nurse
Canada is in desperate need of nurses. Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Canada has struggled to keep up with nursing demands.
Unfortunately, as is often the case with these more specialized careers, many of the required nursing credentials required in Canada do not transfer over for those with training done abroad.
However, as demand becomes stronger, more talk about making immigration easier for nurses is being discussed.
If you’re a registered nurse thinking about moving to Canada, it’s worth looking into your options as a nurse (or other healthcare professional if nursing is currently not available to you).

Engineer
In fact, engineering jobs in multiple fields continue to rise in demand. For instance, you’ll find opportunities in everything from mechanical engineering to software engineering. Having said that, if you’re looking for the most promising engineering fields, you will be most successful in the fields of geotechnical engineering and biomedical engineering.

Web Developer
Silicone Valley once might have been the go-to destination for web developers, but as the cost of living rises, more and more workers are immigrating to Canada.
With more workers coming over to Canada to work, it’s reasonable to assume you missed the opportunity to grab one of these tech jobs, but lucky for you, with more companies moving their headquarters and more start-ups looking for up-and-coming cities with a lower cost of living, there is no shortage of jobs available for web developers in Canada. In fact, software engineering is considered one of the top jobs available in Canada in 2021.
In addition, keep in mind, even if web development isn’t within your skillset, tech jobs are in demand across the board.
IT Business Analyst
If you fall into the camp of someone who wants a tech job but doesn’t have the skills to be a web developer, the next best option for you is an IT business analyst.
Since the COVID 19 pandemic, more than ever, companies are looking to move their businesses online, which requires skilled analysts who are able to make well-thought-out business decisions based on data.
Could this be you?

Digital Marketing
If you don’t tend to gravitate to these technical jobs but you still want to work in the up-and-coming tech field, digital marketing is worth looking into.
This is especially true if you have excellent English language skills available to you. Remember, with companies taking their businesses online, the demand for tech-savvy individuals who understand how to reach a digital audience is essential.
If this sounds like something you’re suited for, don’t miss out on the opportunity to fill this job vacancy.

Starting Your Job in Canada
As you might be aware, even if you have the skills and education to perform some of these jobs, your credentials might not transfer over to Canada (i.e. nursing). Because of this, you still may have difficulty obtaining jobs in these areas.
If you’re struggling, we recommend checking out these employment resources provided by the government of Canada, which will help you with things like learning how to get sponsored by a potential employer, as well as giving you resources that are specific to the province you plan on residing in. You can also check out the Canadian job bank for specific jobs that employers are currently seeking to fill.
