Working in Canada
Expats will find a multitude of available jobs in Canada. The country is riddled with skills shortages and thus makes aggressive attempts to entice workers to relocate to within its borders.
Still, though Canada does accept many skilled workers, most end up working in an unrelated field. Accepting a job before moving to Canada is ideal and also makes getting a work permit easier.
Canada's economy is driven by natural resources and skilled expat workers are especially welcome in the areas of oil production and logging. This is also true in the healthcare system which needs healthcare workers and doctors to alleviate long waits and under staffing. Expats should make sure their qualifications are accepted in Canada and many will have to retake exams.
Many who move to Canada from the UK or the US do so for a better quality of life but should expect lower wages. Business culture in Canada is very similar to that in the US, except in Quebec, where speaking French can be a significant advantage.
