How Educational Institutes in Canada and Employers play an important role in Canadian economy (in light of foreigners)?

We understand the importance of obtaining jobs in Canada, for Foreign Workers. We are talking particularly about the jobs for which local Canadian workers (Citizens and Permanent Residents) are not available. Every year about 110,000 skilled workers and their dependents enter Canada as Permanent Residents and another approx. 180,000 as Foreign Workers. It is extremely important for the economy of  Canada and for employment opportunities of Canadian citizens and permanent residents that new-comers get relevant jobs on entering Canada. For this, an important aspect is that  these entrants be able to obtain jobs that bear relevance to their skills. One way to obtain this exposure is with either Educational Institutes or Employers. Because of this, we at Eagle Legal will be providing tools to foreigners and employers in Canada, so that foreigners can have access to these suitable education institutes and  jobs.  This will assist foreigners in obtaining Study Permits and Work Permits. 

Role of Educational Institutes:

Please note that a great help is being provided by educational institutes in Canada by training international students and making them adept in Canadian skills. Besides other advantages, it can lead international students to apply for immigration under the Canadian Experience Class or indirectly under the Skilled Worker class. Bottom line is that these individuals have been trained by Canadian Educational Institutes to be absorbed by the Canadian Job market on temporary or permanent basis.

Role of Canadian Employers who employ foreign workers:

Just like educational institutes, Canadian Employers also assist in preparation of foreign workers for stabilizing the Canadian economy in the long run. They hire foreign workers temporarily. Subsequently, some of these foreign workers could get opportunities to be absorbed in the Canadian market on permanent basis.

The The Honourable Jason Kenney, P.C., M.P. Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism has suggested that under the Canadian Experience Class, Canada intends to retain this talent in Canada and will propose options that will make it easier for International Students/Foreign Worker (those who fall under the skills in demand)  to get absorbed in Canadian markets.

Study-Work Programs in Canada

Study-Work programs in Canada are usually an interesting options for young adults around the world (including those who have held J-1 visas in the US). These programs give an opportunity to the aspirant to be able to come to Canada on a Student Permit and subsequently apply for an Open Work Permit. This means that the individual can work anywhere, so long as the field of study is similar to the field of work, while the study continues and work is integral part of the study. Such programs may also be classified as co-op programs. Such programs are usually in high demand because they offer the option to the individual, of being able to work in the field, as part of their education. The positions during this working are paid. Individuals who are already in the US on a J-1 visa may find this program attractive as it gives them an option to 'feel' Canada while being in North America. They can apply for visa from the US, without being required to go back to the home country. The permission to work under such programs is usually for less than 50% of the total time allocated for studies.
