Canada has announced opportunities for skilled workers from different countries, including Kenyans with experience in skilled trades, healthcare, technology and other high-demand areas.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) said the country is looking for skilled workers to help address labour shortages and support its economy.
Among the workers Canada is seeking are carpenters, plumbers and machinists.
The opportunities also extend to other fields, including:
Healthcare
Science and technology
Engineering
Cybersecurity
Education
Defence
Critical minerals
Canada Continues to Recruit Foreign Workers
The latest announcement comes as Canada continues to rely on foreign workers to fill labour gaps in different sectors.
For Kenyan job seekers, the opportunities may be useful for those with recognised skills and qualifications, particularly in trades, healthcare, technology and other areas where workers are in demand.
Applicants should use official Canadian government platforms when searching for jobs and immigration programmes and should be careful about people asking for money in exchange for jobs or immigration opportunities.
How Kenyans Can Apply
Kenyans interested in working in Canada can start by searching for suitable vacancies on the Canada Job Bank, the government’s official job platform.
Applicants can also use Canada’s immigration eligibility tool to find out which immigration programme may be suitable for their qualifications, work experience and career plans.
However, getting a job is not the only requirement. Some professions are regulated in Canada, meaning workers may need to have their qualifications and professional credentials assessed before they can work in their field.
Applicants should therefore check the requirements of the province where they plan to work.
Canada also provides settlement support to eligible newcomers to help them adjust after arriving in the country.
