Jobs in demand in Canada: how to find a job for a Russian

Immigration to Canada through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is often only possible if you have skills that are in demand in a particular province or if you have an occupation that is on the Occupations in Demand List.

Since we are often asked what professions are in demand in Canada, we decided to create a special page on the website that will always allow you to find all the professions in demand in Canada by province.

Each time we update the page, we will indicate the date of update. At the bottom of the page you can also find a brief explanation of Canada's National Occupational Classification (NOC), as well as a link to the government website where you can find your occupation code and requirements.

Finally, remember that occupational lists are updated all the time and you should consult provincial websites for official information.

Studying IT in Canada

The high technology sector in Canada today provides employment to more than 800 thousand specialists. However, companies are already complaining about a shortage of professional staff. Research by specialized magazines and experts has shown that by 2021, the Canadian IT sector will need more than 180 thousand more certified workers. The shortage of personnel is primarily associated with the extremely rapid development of the industry as a whole and the technologies that IT professionals need to master. Most likely, the situation will worsen even more in the coming years - with the development of cloud storage services, online shopping systems and electronic money. It is even planned to involve proven specialists from other countries in the development. The most popular IT specialties in Canada are software engineers, illustrators, graphic designers, systems analysts, and database analysts. Web designers, online support operators and computer engineers will be in slightly less demand. Job prospects for a given professional vary significantly depending on the region that is taken into account. For example, Alberta is famous for its excellent prospects for programmers in the oil industry. Vancouver is the home of computer game developers, so specialists in this field always find work there. The Industrial Province of Ontario will be glad to welcome programmers to work at industrial enterprises.

For reference, here are some examples of the most popular IT specialties that can be purchased at Canadian colleges:

Computer Systems Technology . The training lasts three years, and job prospects after it are brilliant. At the moment, this profession is considered one of the most promising and highly paid in Canada. What special attention is paid to during training is the design and optimization of computer networks, advanced methods of data transmission security, including VOIP - Voice over Internet Protocol, administration of UNIX/Linux-based servers, multi-gaming servers, trading e-commerce platforms, etc., which will allow the student to ultimately become a highly qualified specialist in the field of computer systems construction technologies. In Canada, one of the most prestigious and popular colleges that offer such a program is Seneca College in Toronto. Training under this program begins in September and January. The program costs 13,875 Canadian dollars per year in 2021 (approximately 10,432 US dollars as of November 2015). The deadline for submitting documents for the academic year starting in September is February 1 of the current year. Then they accept, but subject to availability. The minimum requirements for international students are decent grades in the high school diploma and a passed English language test with an average IELTS score of 6.0 or TOEFL of 80.

Another equally popular program is the Computer Engineering Technology at another great Toronto college, Humber College . Particular attention is paid here to the study of the architecture of computer systems, software and hardware design, database design, etc. The engineering side of the Internet protocol is considered here in very, very detail, which leads to the fact that in the end the student becomes a real “ internet architect." Freshman enrollment requirements are exactly the same as those for enrollment at Seneca College. Classes also start in September and January, the cost of training is 14,200 Canadian dollars, but this already includes all the costs of auxiliary educational materials, so the cost of one year of study will be approximately the same as at Seneca College. The duration of training is also 3 years, and it is highly advisable to submit documents here before February 1 of the current year, if you want to start studying in September.

Of course, you can take not necessarily 3-year, but also 2-year IT programs, either at Humber or Seneca colleges, or at any other Canadian college, for example, 2-year programs such as Computer Networking and Technical Support or Computer and Network Support Technician , while saving on the total cost of education, but the most persistent and motivated students will want to study in college in an applied, bachelor's program. Yes, yes, you heard right, colleges in Canada are institutions of higher education that also graduate bachelors. Therefore, for those students who want to obtain a higher education, a worthy choice would be, for example, the following undergraduate programs at colleges in Toronto (you can, of course, consider other cities and educational institutions in Canada): Bachelor of Technology - Software Development Degree ), starting classes in September or January at Seneca College or Bachelor of Information Technology at another great Toronto college, Centennial College . The start of the academic year for this program at this college is only in September.

We have considered, of course, not everything, but only some of the most popular options for studying in Canada among foreign students. In fact, the list of educational institutions where you can get an IT specialty is much wider, and every student who wants to will definitely be able to choose for themselves what is best. everything will suit him.

It is worth mentioning especially the so-called Post Graduate Certificate Programs based on higher education. These programs are deservedly very popular. As a rule, these programs accept international students who have already received a bachelor's degree in their home country. Typically, the Post-Graduate program is designed for 1-1.5, sometimes 2, years and gives a foreign student the opportunity to receive a Canadian education in such a fairly short period of time with the right to stay and work in Canada for up to 3 years after graduation. Post-graduate business programs are especially popular, and among them the following has gained impressive popularity among students:

Canadian occupational classification

Canada has developed a detailed occupational classification system, the National Occupational Classification or NOC. Each profession has its own code. All occupations in the NOC have a list of job titles, a list of functions and responsibilities corresponding to that NOC, a list of requirements for recognition of that NOC (education, licensing, certification or experience), and the level of the profession.

There are several qualification levels: 0 (zero), A, B, C or D.

Skill Type 0 : Management related occupations such as plant managers, resort managers or office managers.
Skill Level A : Occupations that typically require a college degree, such as physicists, political scientists, or engineers.
Skill Level B : Technical jobs that typically require a college degree or vocational training, such as administrators, firefighters, photographers.
Skill Level C : Occupations that typically require a high school diploma, such as drivers, security guards, or secretaries.
Skill Level D : Occupations for which no training is required, such as cashier, laborer, or janitor.

How to determine your profession according to the Canadian classification of professions?

You can determine your profession and find its code on the government website. Enter your job title and select the one that best suits you. Please ensure that your position matches the job classification description. Ideally, your functions at work and your NOC should coincide by 75%. It is also worth making sure that you have received all the necessary education to meet your NOC.

Some professions in Canada require a license. You cannot work some jobs in Canada without the required license.

Sample list of well-paid jobs

At the top of the list may be the profession of a private entrepreneur or businessman in Canada. But a businessman does not have a fixed salary, and income directly depends on labor efficiency for the previous month. Therefore, the list of highly paid professions in Canada includes only government positions.

The following specialties earn good money:

Construction manager (up to 85 thousand dollars per year);
Mining Control Manager (up to $75 thousand per year);
Pilot or aerobatics instructor (up to 80 thousand per year);
IT worker in Canada (from 90 thousand dollars per year);
Police officer, including patrol officers (from 85 thousand dollars per year).

ATTENTION! In order for a migrant to occupy a leadership position, it is necessary to have a residence permit in Canada and at least 3 years of work experience. You must meet the remaining selection criteria.
