Those who feel most at home behind a computer could soon find the draw of Canada too much to resist.

Although Canada is already widely recognised as a global leader in the science and technology industries, the nation is keen to maintain this status by offering enticing opportunities to lure talent from across the pond to fill all of the job vacancies.

As the industry continues to grow and more and more jobs open up, qualified immigrants and temporary workers will be recruited to ensure that things can keep developing at the rate that the government would like it to. Offers of employment are expected to be handed to applicants whilst they are still in their home countries.

For those of you with the desire to relocate – experience in the information technology sector is not the only way to make the move to Canada. Other industries which are struggling to fill the positions available include natural resources, health and life sciences and environmental technologies.

The ease with which you find employment will depend on your level of experience and personal factors such as education, health, language skills and financial standing. For those who have the experience, the Federal Skilled Worker Class visa is perhaps your best passage into Canada. Another great option for people keen to move there is to apply for a temporary work permit – this will be the ideal first step to the nation and allow you to work out whether it is the right place for you to settle long term.
