Numbers of candidates from outside of Canada are Increasing under Canada Express Entry.

As per the report for last half of 2015, about 39% of the applications got invitation under Express Entry Visa were from abroad or out of Canada.

Since they started the point based system and will pick up the cream from top as per the points, at first they picked all clients or applications who are already in Canada who were making really good points for Canada Permanent Residency. This was because they were working in Canada at that time, which was giving them good or extra points.

But now the things have changed and the points have come down, which means that all who are from abroad and getting good points, mainly for professionals with good experience and good English are getting called for moving to Canada and settle their life in Canada. So as per the news, in the last half of the year 2015, about 39% of applications were picked from abroad, rather than within Canada.

So, as per now under 2016, we think most of the applications will be picked from abroad to get an invitation and apply for Permanent Residency after invitation for Canada. With this visa they can settle or live in any state of Canada and work and live life in their future. Moreover, do not have to go as a single applicant, can move with the family too i.e. including the spouse and children.

Planning to Migrate to New Zealand? Explore its Job Market First

There are many reasons to why people choose New Zealand as their immigration destination. Apart from being a clean, beautiful and less crowded country, with its safe and secure environment, New Zealand (NZ) also lets its inhabitants to have a balanced lifestyle. Additionally, New Zealanders are also famous for their warm hospitality, which naturally makes them friendlier towards immigrants.

New Zealand has ample job opportunities, and this is what primarily attracts foreign nationals. However, what gives New Zealand the edge over other international job hubs is that here people not only get to build a career, but to have a life as well. In addition, NZ also has a very efficient and transparent immigration process for the requirement and selection of foreign workers. However, if you want to migrate to NZ to work here, then it is necessary to explore and understand its job market first.

Analysis of NZ’s two main internet boards state that there was a net growth of 15.4% in job vacancies in 2013. And, according to a government report the NZ economy will add over 100,000 jobs by 2016, which means a 4.4% growth. Strong job growth is expected in Auckland and Canterbury regions in construction and utilities industries. Additionally, managerial and other professional jobs are also in high demand. However, on the other hand, results of other surveys constantly tell that NZ employers are constantly facing the challenge of finding skilled workers locally. And this opens door for overseas workers.

Getting a job in New Zealand is easy for overseas professionals and workers, especially if they have the right skills. The country continuously faces immediate and long term shortage for skilled workers in a number of industries. Consequently, the government maintains a list of occupations that have shortage of skilled workers and encourages employers to attract foreign workers. Additionally, the NZ government also offers a friendly immigration policy to ensure an easy admission of overseas workers in the country.

The list of industries that are currently facing immediate or long term shortage of skilled workers is as follows.

• Agriculture and Forestry
• Construction
• Education
• Engineering
• Finance and Business
• Health and Social Services
• ICT and Electronics
• Oil and Gas
• Recreation, Hospitality, and Tourism
• Science
• Telecommunications
• Trades
• Transport

In case, you don’t have professional skills in an occupation in the shortage list, even then you can migrate to New Zealand as a skilled migrant. For that you first need to get a job offer from a New Zealand employer who could not find a local worker for the vacancy. In order to reach the employers you can upload your professional profile to a number of job portals. Some of the notable job portals include www.workingin-newzealand.com, www.workhere.co.nz, www.newkiwis.co.nz, and www.seek.co.nz.

After you have been nominated for a skilled position in NZ, then you can apply for a New Zealand work visa. And to make the visa process easier, you can also take assistance of a registered New Zealand immigration consultant.
