FAQs
Yes, Canada offers immigration pathways for skilled construction workers through programs like Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), and Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIA). These programs allow skilled workers in trades such as carpentry, plumbing, electrical, and more to apply for work permits and permanent residency.
Construction workers can apply through several programs, including:
- Express Entry: Through the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), for those with experience in skilled trades.
- Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs): Some provinces have specific streams for skilled tradespeople, such as Ontario’s Trades Stream or British Columbia’s Skilled Worker Stream.
- Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA): If an employer offers a job in construction, they may need to apply for an LMIA to hire foreign workers.
While having a job offer is not always required for programs like Express Entry, it can improve your chances of being invited to apply. For certain programs, like the LMIA-based work permit, a valid job offer from a Canadian employer is necessary to proceed.
