Where to Find Employment in Canada If you are issued a Permanent Resident Visa to Canada, you will have a legal right to live, work and study long-term in Canada, but you will likely want to go to where the jobs are. Depending on which visa type you are approved for by the Canadian government, that choice may be made for you in advance (for example, if you are approved for a work visa to Canada under the Provincial Nominee Program, you will have to accept employment in a particular Canadian province that needs your skills or, if all goes well, even have pre-arranged employment lined up for you in advance). In other cases, however, you may be approved for a work visa to Canada for a skill that is needed across Canada and so you will have to decide where to apply for jobs in Canada, which province or city you prefer to live in (for various personal reasons), etc. You should be aware that when you look for work, Canada has a range of unemployment rates in its various provinces and territories and this may affect your chances of finding jobs in Canada. As of April 2013, Canada’s unemployment rate was 7.2%, which was lower than the unemployment rate in the United States (7.5 percent) in April 2013. There were several Canadian provinces, however, that had unemployment rates in April 2013 substantially lower than Canada’s national average, such as Saskatchewan (4.0 percent), Alberta (4.4 percent), Manitoba (5.8 percent), British Columbia (6.4 percent) and Yukon Territory (6.5 percent) – all in the Western half of Canada. One major reason that these western Canadian provinces have such low unemployment rates is the abundance of high-demand natural resources found in this region of Canada, such as oil, gas, and timber, which has helped to create many jobs in related fields. Closer to Canada’s national average unemployment rate of 7.2% (as of April 2013) were Quebec (7.8 percent) and Ontario (7.7 percent). In some of these provinces, particularly those with high populations (like Ontario and Quebec) and large cities (such as Toronto and Montreal), although the unemployment rate might be higher than more rural areas of western Canada, there may be a higher number of jobs being offered and this should be taken into consideration. Other parts of Canada may be beautiful places to live, but finding work might be a bit more challenging (depending on one’s occupation and the demand for it in any given place, which is a key factor). For instance, in April 2013, the unemployment rate in Northwest Territories was 8.4 percent; in Nova Scotia it was 9.0 percent; 10.9% in New Brunswick; 11.6 percent on Prince Edward Island; 11.7% in Nunavut; and 12.4% in Newfoundland and Labrador.
