  2. Healthcare - Doctors, nurses, pharmacists, etc.

  3. STEM (Science, Tech, Engineering, Math) including all categories in Education

  4. IT professionals, engineers, data analysts

  5. Trades - Electricians, plumbers, construction workersTransport - Truck drivers, logistics roles

  6. Agriculture & Agri-Food - Farming, food processing jobs

  7. French Language Proficiency - Candidates with strong French skills

Moving from the old system…

  • First applicant In, first to be processed;

  • Difficult to navigate the immigration system due to multiple players;

  • Recruitment of global talent at employer time and expense;

  • Average of 18-24 month to process and application.
