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.
