Introduction of skilled immigrants in Ontario, Canada
The Canadian Innovators' Committee (CCI) welcomed the immigration pilot program and said that the demand for foreign technical talents will become more urgent in the next few years.
The committee represents innovative technology companies, which have been lobbying the provincial government to create a special immigration category for skilled workers. The executive director of the Committee said that he welcomed the government's acceptance of their proposal to create this pilot project for the migration of skilled workers. For the fast-growing enterprises in Ontario, high-tech talents are like "jet fuel".
The priority category of human capital in Ontario immigration plan attracts skilled immigrants, but this category has no special requirements for specific technical experience.
The federal government has a new pilot project for rural and northern immigrants. Shetville said that the federal plan pays more attention to how to retain immigrants; Ontario's plan should be more directly related to employers' demand for labor.
He said that Ontario's plan may be similar to the Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program, which allows designated employers in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island to recruit and hire foreign workers overseas when local workers are not available.
Relevant personnel in Canada believe that this will also help the Ontario government to expand jobs that meet immigration conditions in its budget. For example, the increase in demand for personal care and truck drivers is a shortage of talents in northern Ontario.
