Currently, there are over one million job openings in Canada. These job openings are distributed throughout practically every industry, which is why Canada has established many initiatives to assist firms in acquiring international talent. The Global Talent Stream (GTS) is one such initiative, which is designed specifically for highly competent international individuals in the technology industry. The GTS is a fast-tracked program that firms may use to bring in international talent and allow them to apply their abilities to assist creative Canadian companies develop. The part of Canada's larger Global Talent Strategy which is housed within the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), the GTS, expedites the processing of work permit applications and temporary resident visas (if applicable) so that qualified applicants can begin working within two weeks of submission. Certain candidates can enter Canada without a work permit thanks to two exemptions under the Global Talent Stream. First, "highly skilled employees in NOC skill type 0 or skill level A occupations" will not need a permit under this scheme if they work in Canada for 15 days in six months or 30 days in a year. Furthermore, researchers coming to Canada will not need a work permit if they are working for 120 days or more during a 12-month period "on research projects at a publicly-funded degree-granting institution or linked research institution." There are two separate categories within the Global Talent Stream. Category A High-growth enterprises sent to the GTS by one of over 40 certified referral partners (in Canada, excluding Quebec) and able to demonstrate the need to acquire "unique specialized personnel from overseas" fall into this category. Category B Companies in are looking to employ for specific jobs on the Global Talent Occupations List. This list may be updated on a regular basis to reflect changing labour market demands and objectives. The Immigration and Refugee Commission (IRCC) published the Immigration Levels Plan 2023-2025 on November 1. The 2023-2025 strategy aims to bring in up to 500,000 additional permanent residents each year by the end of 2025. Canada held its most recent all-program Express Entry draw on November 9, 2022. Since they started on July 6, it was the tenth all-program draw. IRCC invited 4750 Express Entry applicants to apply for permanent residency. The cut-off score for the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) was 494. A pattern of fall in CRS scores continued in today's draw.
As a result, GTS this initiative benefits the whole Canadian tech environment by ensuring that firms in this field may easily access the talent they require to prosper. Finally, firms seeking talent in both categories will be expected to commit to one action linked to each core benefit—job creation and skill development/training—as well as two complementary benefits.

On October 1, Canada will lift all travel restrictions related to COVID-19. Use of ArriveCan app and immunization documentation are no longer requirements for entry into Canada. In accordance with the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), beginning on October 1, 2022, all travelers, regardless of citizenship, won't be required to:
Additionally, masks won't be required on Canadian trains or airplanes. According to PHAC, Canada's high vaccination rates, low hospitalization and death rates, as well as the availability and use of vaccine boosters, are the main reasons why travel restrictions have been lifted. The government will continue to strongly advise travelers to wear masks and constantly monitor their wellness. Since last June, Canada has waived the immunization requirements for both domestic and international travel. Government representatives claimed at the time that the suspension of those vaccination requirements was a representation of the improved public health situation, with 90% of Canadians already having received the COVID-19 vaccine. Canada's aggressive immigration goals, including those achieved through Express Entry programs, are the result of a number of factors, including a 5.7% job vacancy rate at the moment. The largest group of Canadians in the working age population, the baby boomers, will soon reach retirement age and there will be an even greater shortage of skilled workers. Canada has extended invitations to 28,039 immigrants through Express Entry programs so far in 2022. IRCC invited 3750 Express Entry applicants to apply for permanent residency on September 28, 2022. The cut-off score for the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) was 504. The CRS is also at its lowest level since all-program draws have resumed. Since the CRS scores peaked at 557 on July 6, they have been gradually declining.
Given the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic, this announcement was anticipated. As more people get immunized and the virus shifts from being a pandemic to being endemic, like the common cold, the number of cases has been declining. Even though the most severe waves of the COVID-19 pandemic appear to have passed, healthcare professionals are in high demand in Canada. In a field where there were already severe labour shortages, nurses, doctors, and other employees are quitting their jobs. Institutions that represent health workers across the nation are warning that Canada's health sector is collapsing two years into the pandemic. "Without prompt attention, there is little hope for the future." While public health regulations are being relaxed and Canadians are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel, the same cannot be said for healthcare professionals. Due to the shortage of healthcare professionals, Canada announced in June that it would be spending $1.5 million to support foreign-trained healthcare professionals in getting their credentials recognized in Canada. This move was made in an effort to attract more foreign nationals. More immigrants will succeed thanks to these services, which will also contribute to a better future for all Canadians. Top Ten Best Healthcare Jobs in Canada are:
1. Hospital Administrator (NOC 0014) The positions range from supervisors overseeing a small staff to senior managers overseeing enormous hospitals and health authorities. The widest range of pay in the industry may be found among administrators in hospitals and other healthcare settings, including medical clinics, and managers in government agencies with responsibility for healthcare. Using a typical, 37.5-hour work week as a benchmark, data from Job Bank shows that the median annual salary for these healthcare managers in Canada ranges from a low of $38,961 to a high of $182,227. 2. Medical Administrative Assistant (NOC 1243) Medical administrative assistant positions are available across Canada, and Job Bank rates the employment outlook for these healthcare professionals as "good" for the following three years. Based on a typical work week, the median annual pay for medical administrative assistants ranges from $31,200 at the low end to $56,335 at the high end. 3. Medical Secretary (NOC 1243) According to Job Bank, there will be a shortage of about 4,000 medical secretaries in Canada by the end of the current decade in 2028. New employment opportunities for medical administrative assistants are projected to total 30,000 over the period 2019-2028, arising from expansion demand. According to data from Job Bank, the median annual salary for medical secretaries’ ranges from a low of $31,200 to a high of $56,335 for a standard work week. 4. Registered Nurse (NOC 3012) As of September 13, 2022, Indeed.ca job board showed 12,939 postings for registered nursing jobs across Canada, making it unlikely that there is a single hospital or clinic that isn't looking for a registered nurse. According to Job Bank data, for a 37.5-hour work week, registered nurses make a median salary of $51,246 per year at the low end and $94,321 per year at the high end. 5. Occupational Therapists (NOC 3143) The minimum qualification to begin a career in occupational therapy (OT) is a four-year undergraduate baccalaureate degree focused on occupational therapy academic programs, which also includes 1,000 hours of supervised on-the-job training. Between 2019 and 2028, there will be a national shortage of occupational therapists. The average salary is $41.63 per hour. 6. Medical Laboratory Technician (NOC 3212) The COVID-19 pandemic caused a huge increase in the demand for medical laboratory technicians as the number of coronavirus tests increased with each new wave of the crisis. However, there are other factors besides the pandemic that make lab tech positions in demand. Based on a standard work week, medical laboratory technicians in Canada earn median annual salaries that range from $36,172 at the low end to $78,000 at the high end. 7. Respiratory therapists (NOC 3214) They identify patients with heart or lung conditions and treat them, putting an emphasis on airway control. Respiratory therapists make an hourly median wage of $36, and there will be a labour shortage through 2028. 8. Dispensing Optician (NOC 3231) Dispensing opticians fit patients with prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses and coordinate the creation of the eyewear. The number of new job openings is predicted to be 14% greater than the number of job seekers between 2019 and 2028. The median hourly wage is $25.00. 9. Licensed Practical Nurses (NOC 3233) In the majority of Canada, licensed practical nurses have favorable employment prospects over the next three years. Based on a typical 37.5-hour work week, licensed practical nurses in Canada make median yearly salaries ranging from $42,900 at the low end to $64,798 at the high end. As of mid-September, Indeed.ca had 2,928 job listings for these healthcare professionals. 10. Home Support Worker (NOC 4412) As the Baby Boomer generation ages and the pandemic, sadly, has a devastating effect on a large number of people, there is a severe shortage of home support workers in Canada. According to Job Bank, in the ten years leading up to 2028, there will be 33,900 new jobs in Canada for home support workers. Based on a typical work week, the median annual salary for home support workers in Canada ranges from $26,247 at the low end to $45,006 at the high end. Since July, Canada has held six all-program Express Entry draws. As the number of ITAs rises, CRS scores continues to fall. IRCC invited 3250 Express Entry applicants to apply for permanent residency on September 14, 2022. The cut-off score for the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) was 511. The CRS requirement for the current draw is 5 points lower than the minimum cut-off score for the last all-program draw on August 31, which was 516. "Healthcare workers now face both massive system backlogs and a shortage of colleagues to meet demands," says the report. This is on top of severe exhaustion and burnout from working through two years of COVID-19. This is a fantastic opportunity for foreign nationals with healthcare experience, training, and education to immigrate to Canada. As evident Canada has a big shortage of nurses across the country. In this context NDP leader Mr. Jagdeep Singh and MP Jenny Kwan and some nurses trained overseas held a video conference to call on the Immigration Minister to speed up the processing of immigration applications filed by international trained nurses whose professional credentials have been accredited in Canada. Jenny Kwan said that shortage and overworking of nurses can cause harm to patient, delay surgeries and increased wait times. So, the liberal govt must increase resources to address the issue and grant permanent residency to qualified nurses.
