Calgary

Oil and gas economy
Close to the Rocky Mountains

Calgary is located 80km away from the Rocky Mountains which makes it a popular tourist destination en-route to the “Rockies”. The population is just above 1million which makes it the 5th largest metropolitan area in Canada.

Economy

Calgary is white collar city home to large oil and chemical companies. In recent years, corporations have been relocating their head offices to Calgary to be closer to their oil operations as well as taking advantage of Alberta’s lower corporate taxation.

Immigration

Gaining a work permit in Canada requires several conditions to be met. Firstly, you must receive a job offer from a Canadian employer. This offer is then reviewed by the department of Human Resources and Social Development. You are more likely to receive approval if you are filling a skills shortage. Current financial areas in demand are senior management, audit and analysis.
