Let me tell you 10 careers that are projected to be in demand in Canada in 2021 and beyond.

NB: This is based on job opening projections and median wage.

This list is NOT exhaustive. Other professions will also be in demand as the economy makes progress post COVID-19.

Thread
No matter the profession you choose, with careful planning, improving your skills, and building your capacity, you can find success in any field

If your profession is also not in the list below, you can explore the prospects of any profession in Canada at bit.ly/exploreyourjob
1) Software engineer/Designer/Web developer

The Tech Industry is rising in Ontario, BC, Sask & Quebec

Opportunities will open in the sector, including engineers, developers, or designers, but there won't be enough qualified workers to fill the positions cbc.ca/news/business/โ€ฆ
2) Industrial electrician

This career is beneficial for those who are prepared to take on the important job of installing, testing, maintaining, and repairing industrial machines and equipment.

For more info about the career, see the FREE resources here bit.ly/3bjr5qC
3) Aerospace engineer

The growth in the Aerospace industry is tremendous and will open up more opportunities for engineers in the years to come.

In 2018, the industry contributed over $25B in GDP and 213,000 jobs to the Canadian economy. More details at bit.ly/3fvPgpf
4) Occupational or Physiotherapy Assistant

Therapists & assistants help people live more comfortably and improve their quality of life

With the elderly population living longer & Canadians' desire to enjoy healthier lifestyles, the need for therapists & assistants will increase
5) Licensed Practical Nurse/Registered Nurse

Canada has an aging population and Nurses are in demand to serve the aging population

Job opportunities in the field are in excess, with provinces like New Brunswick putting a plan in place to fix the shortage cbc.ca/news/canada/neโ€ฆ
6) Welder

The skilled trades industry in Canada is vital to the economy, and the welding workforce is younger than many other careers in the industry.

Welding is about new job growth over retirement rates. In fact, it's been one of the highest paying in-demand jobs in Canada!
7) Business management consultant

The career path is becoming extremely competitive, but businesses need these consultants to build back & stay productive.

With workers retiring and transitioning to other jobs, the need for professional consulting services will be on the rise.
8) College or Vocational Instructors

Many College professors are nearing retirement age (half of those in the industry are almost 50 years).

Academia will create many jobs in both public and private post-secondary institutions in the nearest future.
9) Truck Drivers

The Canadian economy relies on truckers who haul commercial goods from coast to coast.

Although they are considered essential workers, there aren't enough people in the younger community entering the industry especially at a time when more drivers are needed.
10) Lab technologists/technicians

Laboratory test delays have been worsened by the pandemic and more people are leaving the profession than joining.

As Public Health resources are built after COVID 19, more people will be required in this occupation. cbc.ca/news/health/meโ€ฆ
If you're coming to Canada to study, one thing you can also do is to consider the program you are coming for, and research the employment prospect in the field of study.

I made the thread below some days ago, and I hope it is of help to someone.

Cheers.

Moving to Canada is not what anyone can tell you to simply bring xxx amount & wait for visa to be delivered

In Canada, there is no โ€œtotal packageโ€ is xxxx.

Anyone telling you to just bring money is trying to swindle you.

There are parts of the process you must handle yourself.
In Canadian immigration thereโ€™s also no โ€œeasiest, fastest, cheapest way to Canadaโ€

Like @officialgbegbin once said, the only easier way to Canada is to only dream about it

What we have in Canada are immigration programs, over 100 of them with different requirements & procedures
The over 100 Canadian immigration programs are also why you donโ€™t just wake up and choose a program. No be like that

You must FIRST identify what you QUALIFY for. This is important!

When planning to move to Canada, 3 boxes to check are

-Interest
-Eligibility
-Financial ability

Federal Court of Canada Decision

Former Nigerian Police officer & member of SARS unit left Nigeria for USA in 2016, then crossed to Canada to make refugee claims.

He was found inadmissible & refused refugee status for his involvement in SARS activities. decisions.fct-cf.gc.ca/fc-cf/decisionโ€ฆ
"Mr. Popoola is a citizen of Nigeria and a former member of the Nigerian Police Force.

He was found to be inadmissible to Canada because there are reasonable grounds to believe that he engaged in crimes against humanity while serving as a police officer in Nigeria."
"He now seeks judicial review of his determination of inadmissibility.

I am dismissing his application because the decision-maker reasonably assessed relevant factors for deciding whether Mr. Popoola made a knowing & significant contribution to the crimes committed by the NPF."
