Business
leaders from Canada’s eastern province of Prince Edward Island (PEI) are
calling for increased Canadian immigration to the province to help it meet a
forecast Canadian job shortage.
According to Canadian government estimates, over the next 40 years it is
predicted that there will be a 25% reduction in the size of the workforce on
Prince Edward Island and this may have significant consequences for the
province’s economy and standard of living. With large numbers of “baby-boomers”
retiring in PEI and across Canada, jobs are going unfilled since there are not
always enough qualified local workers available. Many business leaders from
Prince Edward Island believe that a key solution to this challenge is to
attract qualified immigrant workers who have been issued a Permanent Resident
Visa to Canada to move to PEI to fill these Canadian job openings.
Prince Edward
Island (PEI) is Canada’s smallest province and is located in the eastern region
of the country. In 2011, PEI only had a
population of 140,204 people and its largest city, the provincial capital Charlottetown,
has a population (2011) of just 32,545!
Prince Edward Island may be Canada’s smallest province, yet, it has much
to offer those who have been issued a work visa to Canada. This includes picturesque small towns that
boast a high standard of living; many scenic golf courses where golfers can
enjoy amazing views from fairways dotted with pine trees and putting greens
that overlook crashing surf; rolling green grassy hills; beautiful beaches; historic
lighthouses; and an average annual income of $62,110! And, of course, an
immigrant who is granted a work visa to Canada can legally live in the country long-term,
study and apply for Canadian jobs!
This is great
news for people around the globe, and especially for skilled foreign workers in
countries that are still struggling economically, who would love to have a
good-paying Canadian job and experience life in this scenic, stable democracy.
