<<< JUNE APPLICANT, 2010>>>

[PalNP]

2011-2016, states that there will be a labour shortage of qualified applicants for IT related jobs in Canada within the next few years. The report was released by the Information and Communications Technology Council (ICTC).

According to the report, over 106,000 IT related positions will become available between 2011 and 2016 in Canada; however there may not be enough people to fill those positions. The report has also indicated that the most shortages will occur for positions which require five or more years of experience.

In order to address the concerns regarding labour shortages, the report is suggesting five recommendations:
Post-secondary students should be encourages to take IT-related courses;
Foreign-education workers should be better integrated into Canada’s IT workforce;
Making post-secondary education more cross-disciplinary; and
Making the IT industry more accessible for various skill levels and diverse employees.

Another important suggestion made by the report is to bring more foreign skilled workers to Canada. The IT industry will be looking for skilled workers with many different skills, rather than a specific technical expertise.

The Government of Canada has not indicated how these shortages will affect their immigration strategies. Canadavisa.com will report on any changes to the Canadian immigration programs once they have been announced.

Basically, we are dealing with immigration here so everything takes a long time, but how long? CHC know that it is not like we can go to the competition if you are unhappy with their services.

So no choices rather than wait

Another Tuesday is gone no update

Well, that isn't technically true. CIC and Canada ARE in competition. They are in competition with other countries to gain highly skilled immigrants in key job market shortage occupations.

If CIC make it too long and difficult to get into Canada, these highly skilled people may consider other popular immigration destinations such as New Zealand and Australia.

The supply and demand curve works two ways, m8!

There certainly are other countries.
But at present they are also suffering the same recession, economic pain (whatever you want to call it), I guess it all comes down to who is the most forward thinking.
I really would not want to be the person setting immigration policy, a lose, lose situation most of the time.

However, the person setting the communications policy at CIC and CHCs could certainly turn it into at least a semi-win situation if they were better at letting applicants know what was going on!

I agree, just knowing more would be s 100% service improvement.
