Canada is seeking skilled professionals from around the world to join its workforce as the country looks to address labour shortages across several key and emerging industries.
The Canadian government said international professionals with the right skills and experience can access various immigration pathways to build careers and settle in communities across the country.
The recruitment drive covers several sectors, including science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), healthcare, skilled trades, defence and cybersecurity, critical minerals, and education.
Canada is also particularly seeking skilled healthcare and social service professionals to help address shortages within its healthcare system.
