Top 5 jobs in demand in Canada
You are an immigrant to Canada with the purpose of studying and developing in this maple-leaf country. But worried about the problem of working in Canada, I should work with income sources to meet daily life and high income. Then come here with Phan Immigration to learn about 5 jobs that are in high demand in Canada!
1/ Lecturer at universities and vocational schools
Teachers in universities and colleges in Canada are one of the professions with a high rate of job demand because most of the teachers around the age of 64 are retired. Therefore, the labor force has not been able to meet the market demand.
For the teaching profession, there are a few basic conditions you need to know that there are master’s degrees or diplomas and alternative bachelor’s degrees as long as you have enough knowledge and experience in teaching. So from the very beginning, if you want to pursue your goal of being a teacher, start early to give yourself valuable experiences and experiences. The average teacher’s salary is $36.66.
2/ Consultant
With the most developed economy like in Canada, almost any business needs a consultant. Therefore, the consulting profession is always sought after by businesses and job opportunities are very high. Due to the increase in demand for professional consulting services in the market, the rate of consultants moving to other positions is high. That proves that consultants are a hot industry and have a high employment rate in Canada. The income level from the consulting profession is $ 36.06.
3/ Software engineer
Software design engineers are the fastest growing industry in labor market demand. According to statistics, the software engineering industry has nearly 21,000 jobs from 2017-2026. There is a shortage of human resources for this industry, so anyone who is planning to study software engineering does not need to worry about employment. The average income of this industry is about $43.27. This is a relatively high level of income compared to other industries,
4/ Nurses
Nursing is considered an obvious profession in Canada, everyone will often know in Canada that nursing is an industry that always needs constant human resources. Because most of these industries often retire early before the age of 65 and the rest want to take care of their family more. In addition, the aging population in Canada is increasing day by day. The elderly and the elderly are more and more concerned about their health, so nurses are always lacking in human resources. Not only in Canada but also in Vietnam after the Covid 19 pandemic, the human resources of medical teams are also seriously lacking in human resources and always training personnel. The nurse industry salary usually fluctuates around $37.
5/ Sales staff
This is a job suitable for students studying economics with the desire to work early and have more income and more knowledge. Sales staff is the person who will be in charge of managing business matters. In Canada, any business that opens cannot lack the position of sales staff, so this is an industry with a high employment rate. If you like the business, then pursue it now, then the odds of you compared to other candidates will be higher later. The income level from the sales staff position is from $29,250 – $67,275 per year.

NO EXPERIENCE, NO DEGREE, is it easy to get a job in Canada?
When immigrating to Canada, the question that always gets the attention of many people is ” “Can I work in Canada without a degree or experience? “. Many opinions say yes, and some say no. Then what is the right answer, let’s find out with Phan Immigration right away and come to a conclusion!
1/ Are qualifications and experience required when applying for a job in Canada?
In any environment, a degree is necessary and sufficient for future promotion opportunities, but it is not a determining factor in getting a job or not. Employers not only look at the qualifications to decide whether the candidate is suitable or not, but they also consider the candidate’s ability and ability to see if he is suitable for the position he is recruiting, but the candidate also meets the criteria. which will. For the whole set of Jobs, a degree is a mandatory element (you can supplement your degree by studying in Canada). This regulation will have higher requirements for foreign workers.
Most people think that 15% of employers look at the qualifications, and the rest look at the attitude, skills, and actual knowledge of the candidate to evaluate. It’s not like we often think that a degree accounts for 80% of the impression of an employer.
In short, you need to have a degree and at least 1 year of experience (full-time, have a labor contract, pay social insurance) to be eligible to apply for jobs in Canada.
2/ All about working in Canada
To be eligible to work in Canada, you need to have at least 1 year of full-time work experience (with an employment contract). Regardless of work experience in any country, Canada values work experience equally. Professional knowledge in Vietnam is different from Canada, if you want to work in Canada, you need to cultivate more knowledge, skills, attitudes, and Canadian culture to suit the environment here.
Some employers in Canada only hire people who already have Canadian permanent residence or citizenship. Therefore, this makes it difficult for Vietnamese people to find work in Canada. Don’t worry, the jobs that help you to immigrate to Canada that Phan Immigration supports for your profile all meet the requirements of recruiting foreign workers for employers. If your main goal is to make a lot of money in Canada, then you must equip yourself well to match the job requirements of the employer. However, if you want to immigrate to Canada as a skilled worker, this is a bargain for you. In addition to working with income, you also have the opportunity to become a permanent resident of Canada after only 2 years of working. Above all, after obtaining permanent residency, you are entitled to all social benefits in terms of health and education for the whole family (except for the right to vote). This is truly an investment that benefits you and your family.
All jobs in Canada (including manual labor) require a degree or certificate in a job-related occupation. Therefore, this can be a disadvantage when most jobs such as carpenters, bricklayers, and nail technicians… are self-employed (no degree or vocational certificate). Therefore, you can equip yourself with degrees and certificates by participating in short-term vocational training courses. This will be a plus on your resume.
3/ Some experience in applying for a job in Canada
Option 1: You can apply your own CV to employers
If you have a complete profile of the requirements of the employer and you are confident in your ability to compete with other candidates. So, feel free to apply.
Option 2: Find support from a Canadian immigration consultant (RCIC)
You can choose a consulting unit you want, this saves you time and effort. In addition, it also limits the risks of documents and records while working with Immigration Canada.
Phan Immigration is proud to be a licensed Canadian immigration consultant, as an RCIC we understand the importance of the procedures required in the Canadian immigration application. Phan Immigration has strong relationships with employers in Canada. You don’t have to worry about rummaging through so many job sites and still not finding a job you like. We can offer a wide range of employment options in Canada. Moreover, these jobs are all jobs that can apply for a PR (permanent resident) profile to lead to a long-term Canadian settlement path for you.
4/ Solutions to the problem of difficulty in getting a job in Canada
You need to improve your English, skills, and professional experience more to help your job and Canadian immigration records. Because you have to pass a face-to-face interview with the employer. So, this is your chance to prove your capabilities.
The above is useful information to answer the question “Can I apply for a job in Canada without experience?”. If you still have questions about working in Canada, contact Phan Immigration for a free consultation.

How to spot fake job offers and immigration schemes
Every year, thousands of people wish to find work in Canada and apply for a work visa in Canada. In contrast, many others choose to immigrate to Canada under the skilled categories. In both cases, you will need to find opportunities to work in Canada.
By Yan Desjardins, Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant.
It is no secret that when it comes to arranged employment to work in Canada, you may find that many organizations, people and even scammers may try to provide you with a fake job offer. Some may even propose immigration schemes for you to work in Canada or immigrate permanently.
But here is the real issue: no one talks about the real consequences of using a fake job offer and what it could mean to you. Let’s take a closer look!
Job offers to immigrate to Canada under the skilled categories
In the context of Canadian immigration, having an offer to work in Canada can substantially help your chances of immigrating to Canada under the skilled categories with the different Express Entry programs.
Many Provincial Nomination programs facilitate employers’ recruitment of foreign candidates to work in Canada. To obtain a nomination from a province, you must find an employer willing to hire you to join their company and work in Canada once you settle in your chosen province. This is often called arranged employment in the context of permanent residence (PR) applications.
This can be helpful to relieve some of the financial requirements when you immigrate to Canada under the skilled categories and also help secure the requirements of some of the Provincial Nomination Programs.
How to spot fake offers to work in Canada
There are quite a few signs that can indicate you have been offered a fake offer to work in Canada. Here are some of the most common.
- Being offered a job to work in Canada when you have not applied or solicited the opportunity;
- The offer to work in Canada is not detailed and vague or may appear generic;
- The employer is demanding money to process the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or to apply for a work visa in Canada;
- Or the employer is asking for money in exchange of the offer to work in Canada.
How to spot immigration schemes to work in Canada
These offers are usually easier to identify. The offer to work in Canada might be vague or unsolicited, just like the above. In some cases, you might be asked to provide the fake employer with cash payments to cover your salary and income taxes to the Canadian government. This effectively covers the ‘paper trace’ of the money and makes the job look legitimate. That is a misrepresentation.
Once you have immigrated to Canada, you will have to find a real job to help support yourself and your family since the previous offer to work in Canada was not legitimate. But that’s not all; you could face even harsher consequences if you use a fake job offer to immigrate to Canada under the skilled categories.
What are the consequences of misrepresentation?
When someone commits misrepresentation or acts in a way to deceive immigration officials or prevent them from making an informed decision about their case, they are exposed to many consequences. A reputable Canadian immigration consultant will advise you against any misrepresentation so that your immigration process is safe, legal and without conditions.
In Canada, providing falsified documents and information is an offence under section 40 of the IRPA (Canadian immigration law). It is also a criminal offence for anyone to counsel, aid or facilitate the misrepresentation, as per section 126 of the same law.
How can IRCC report misrepresentation? In two ways:
- When applying for a visa from outside Canada, or in this case, applying for a work visa in Canada, the officer will report the misrepresentation concerns to you in the form of a letter. You will be given a chance to prove the allegations wrong. If the application is refused, for this reason, you will be banned from applying for permanent residence in Canada for 5 years.
- After becoming a PR, you may lose your permanent residence if allegations are made against the misrepresentation of the fake offer to work in Canada. First, an admissibility hearing will be held at the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada to determine if the allegations are true. If so, you will lose your PR, and a removal order will be issued against you. This also comes with a 5-year ban from applying for residence or to work in Canada.
A finding of misrepresentation will greatly affect your chances of obtaining visas not only for Canada but for other countries also.
What can you do to make an informed decision?
Here are a few tips to help you ensure that you are dealing with a reputable Canadian immigration consultant
- Verify that the consultant is registered with the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultant (CICC).
- Before accepting an offer to work in Canada, check the IRCC non-compliant employers list.
- Do some market research and compare your results.
- Read more about immigration fraud in Canada. There were numerous articles in the media throughout the years.
- Don’t be afraid to ask questions and ask for documentation.
What are the conditions to work in Canada?
First, to work in Canada, you must obtain a work permit, the only document that authorizes you to work in Canada legally. First, here are some of the conditions to work in Canada.
- Have a valid job offer from a legitimate Canadian employer.
- The employer must not be on the prohibited IRCC list

3 industries with leading recruitment demand in 2022
In recent years, more and more Canadians are retiring and leaving the labour market. In addition, with the elderly population making up a large part of the population, immigrants working in Canada play a very important role to fill in the labor shortage and immigration to Canada.
Canada is expected to welcome 431,000 immigrants in 2022 and is well underway to reach this target. By the end of July 2022, IRCC has issued more than 349,000 Canadian work visas, compared with about 112,000 Canadian work visas issued in the same period in 2021. This number of Canadian work visas means that every day more than 1,700 immigrants are coming to work in Canada.
Here are three industries with high demand for work in Canada.
Accommodation and restaurant services
Hospitality and restaurant services is by far the industry with the highest vacancies in all occupations. This means there are currently many opportunities to work in Canada at this time. The number of vacancies in the second quarter of 2022 was 149,600, increasing each quarter steadily. This explains why so many are immigrating to Canada under the skilled categories. The hospitality and restaurant industry is always on the list of occupation on demand in most provinces.
Below are the classification codes for those high in demand jobs that are used when applying for a Canadian work visa or permanent residence.
Food counter attendants (NOC 6711.1).
- Kitchen helpers (NOC 6711.2) and related support occupations (NOC 6711.3)
- Chef (cooks – NOC 6322)
- Food and beverage servers (NOC 6513).
Healthcare & Social assistance
In Q2 of 2022, Canada recorded 136,100 job vacancies for healthcare and public health services. This industry has the second-highest number of vacancies to work in Canada. Especially after the covid pandemic, the shortage of staff working in Canada in the healthcare sector has led to many hospitals even having to announce temporary cuts to some services, including services for emergency rooms, due to a lack of personnel.
For candidates who already have work experience related to healthcare, now is a good time to have a wide range of options to find suitable jobs. After applying for a work visa in Canada, you also have the opportunity to immigrate to Canada under the skilled categories. Healthcare jobs are currently on the priority list of applications in British Columbia and Saskatchewan provinces.
Here are some jobs that are in high demand in this industry:
Health care consultant (NOC 4165)
Registered nurses and registered psychiatric nurses (NOC 3012)
Specialist physicians (NOC 3111)
Pharmacists (Pharmacists – NOC 3131)
Scientific and technical services
Tech talent is in high demand in many provinces and an important contributor to the Canadian economy.
The number of vacancies in this industry reached 74,600 in the second quarter of 2022 and increased by 79.1% compared to the first quarter of 2020. In particular, immigrating to Canada under the skilled categories for the technology industry has high opportunities in major provinces. More than half (56.8%) of the opportunities to work in Canada in this industry come from 3 big cities including:
Toronto – a provincial capital of Ontario and is the most populous city in Canada. This city is well-known for music, theater, motion picture and television production.
Vancouver – the most populous city in British Columbia. This city is in the list of top 5 cities in the world for the quality of life. Another interesting fact of this city is that the climate does not experience extremely cold weather compared to the rest of Canada. The average temperature in summer is 18.2°C and in winter 2.7°C.
Montreal – the largest city of Quebec and the second most populous in Canada. Montreal is also known as a hometown of the largest French-speaking community in the world, along with Paris.
Qualified tech positions for this industry include
- Software engineers and designers (NOC 2173).
- Computer programmers (NOC 2174).
- Information system analysts and consultants (NOC 2171).
- Computer and information system managers (NOC 0213)

Learning how to work with different nationalities, adapting to new cultural norms, and perhaps learning a new language while living abroad opens up a world to opportunities that one cannot even imagine until they are experienced.
A couple of thoughts that have most likely come to mind when thinking of working abroad might be, “Am I qualified enough to work overseas? How do I find out?” Or perhaps, “Which country would provide the best opportunities for my plans and aspirations?”. Finally, and most importantly,” What is the process of applying and working in a foreign country?”
Navigating this information can be overwhelming, especially if you’re considering immigrating to Canada under the skilled workers category. Not only that but knowing what types of jobs are available and high in demand in Canada for foreign skilled workers.

Top 3 FAQs About Immigrating to Canada Under the Skilled Workers Category
1.0 What Are the Conditions to Immigrate to Canada as a Skilled Worker?
Often, applicants looking to immigrate to Canada under the skilled category are unsure whether they meet specific qualifications. The Federal Government of Canada looks at three critical minimum requirements to determine eligibility. Threshold requirements look at the following:
The comprehensive selection factors are based on a 100-point system used to determine if you qualify under the Federal Skilled Workers Program. Points are attributed based on the applicant’s information and credentials, following these 6 factors:
- Age
- Education level
- Years of work experience
- If the applicant has arranged employment
- English and/or French language level
- Adaptability
Applicants without Arranged Employment must prove that they have enough settlement funds to support themselves and their dependents in Canada for the first six months. On average, the government of Canada recognizes that most immigrants will take this long to settle in Canada, find a job and start earning money. Therefore, the requirement for settlement funds must be met before submitting the application and must be maintained throughout the process.
The current passing score for the skilled workers category requires a minimum of 67 points.
If you intend to immigrate to Canada under the Quebec Skilled Workers category, you will need to meet a different set of conditions.

3.0 What is the Process to Apply for a Canadian Work Visa?
3.1 About the Process
As a foreign national, you must meet the conditions to work in Canada. To do so, you must obtain a work permit before starting work in Canada. In Canada, there are 2 types of work permits.
- Employer-specific work permits with a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)
- Open Work Permits
3.1.1 Employer-Specific Work Permits
Applying for a work visa for Canada under the employer-specific work permit grants the applicant to work in Canada with a set of conditions that are set within the work permit. The conditions include the following:
- The name of the specified employer the applicant can work for
- The duration of work
- The province of residence
You must secure employment before applying for a work visa for Canada. Your employer must complete and submit an application for an LMIA to ensure that the employment offer cannot be fulfilled with a Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident. Once the LMIA is granted, your employer will provide you with a copy of the official employment offer along with the LMIA to be included with your application.
3.1.2 Open Work Permits
There are many types of open work permits for Canada; however, not everyone can apply for them. An open work permit may be granted based on two sections of the Canadian immigration regulations (R) :
- R204: International agreements or arrangements
- R205: Canadian interests
International agreements are bilateral programs that allow more simplified immigration mobility. An example of such an agreement for Vietnam: the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). This agreement aims at helping investors, intra-company transferees, and other professionals to gain status in Canada.
Canadian interests are defined as individuals that intend on performing work that would create and maintain significant benefit for Canada (economic, cultural, etc.), support reciprocal agreement with other countries (an academic/professional research or exchange program), or by means of public policies. For example, an accompanying spouse of a work permit holder is granted an open work permit and access to the labor market to maintain the competitiveness of Canada’s academic institutions or economy.
3.2 After You Apply for Your Work Visa in Canada
If you reside outside of Canada when you have applied for your Canadian work visa, it is essential to know how the application process works.
Once all your necessary documents have been submitted, a Canadian visa officer will assess the following:
- To ensure the employer has complied with all the conditions regarding your working conditions to hire you and is not in default of previous work permit compliance;
- You have met all the conditions to work in Canada, that you are not criminally inadmissible to Canada, or have had previous immigration-related offenses.
Applying for a work permit may not be easy due to the technical requirements that must be met. Collaborating with a registered immigration consultant can help you and your employer navigate the process and ensure that you meet and comply with the program requirements. Applicants have the burden to meet all of the documentary evidence when applying for a work permit. If not, the application may be refused. In very rare cases does visa officers request more information or even conduct the applicant to an interview.
As part of your work permit application, you will be required to take a medical examination. Medical examinations are usually very straightforward but may be delayed if further tests are needed, or a medical condition requiring attention is detected; therefore, we recommend that you complete your medical examination before submitting the application and include proof of the medical exam in your documents. This is called ‘upfront medical examination.’This helps accelerate the process of your work permit.
If Your Canadian work permit is approved
Suppose your application for a work visa for Canada has been approved. In that case, you will be asked to provide your passport to affix a visa counterfoil, and you will receive a ‘Port of Entry Letter,’ commonly known in the industry as a POE Letter. This document will state that you have been approved for a Canadian work permit. This is not your actual work permit. The permit will be issued upon your arrival in Canada by an officer of the Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA).
