Introduction
The labor shortage that cannot be controlled has already given its outcomes in the Canadian construction sector. As the available number of workers is reduced to 85000 by the year 2033, there will be a need of over 17000 professionals annually only to maintain the demand in the single province of Quebec (askaia.ca). As a response to the same, the federal government and the provincial governments have devised some form of the immigration tracks which are more of a concern to the skilled and semi-skilled labour across the world like New Construction Visa Program. It is not believable that employers and provinces will go as far as offering right people CAD 70,000 as relocation bonus. It is a front page statistic that has swept the world and speaks volumes about both cases based on the fact that it has mass potential and events that demand it.
The eroding values of the Express Entry will be supplemented by Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP) in the form of Construction Visa Program that is now focused on the wider range of occupations beyond project managers and estimators and tradepeople (carpenter, plumber, and concrete finisher, etc.) (CIC News). The other rewards entail the exemption of the apprentices on the study permits as well as the direct access points of admission as applied to the illegal workforce (CIC News). The trends reverse this against the new comers as they offer the prospect of entry into the safe arts, secured settlement, safety of labor and pay particularly at the hint of the relocation packages at their fingertips.
Here, in this paper, we shall make you understand how this once in a generation nudge can be used to win in getting the best talents in the construction business. We will discuss the availability of entry level jobs, the needs of the application, the job boards towards relocating the immigrants and PH-FIND method in order to obtain maximum of CAD 70,000 relocation package. The current presentation is the unlocked door to successful career and life north of the border either in case of being a new immigrant to Canada or being already working in another skilled trade sector.
The Entry Level Jobs of immigrant workers
The following are some of the more common entry level jobs in the construction industry which are commonly found on offer to the immigrant labourers, and are often accompanied by a massive relocation compensation/sponsorship package:
Job Title (CAD/yr) Average compensations Transfers Expectation
Trades helper / Labourer 45 000 $ 70 000 70 000 (and package) High school diploma, elementary English
Carpenter/ Plumber 50k 80k 10k 20k + fast track permits Training- vocational, work permit or apprenticeship

According occupations that constitute these job opportunities imply 22 occupations at the new Construction Visa Program (ca.m.balancemywealth.com, askaia.ca, canadagmc.com, Indeed). The civil construction is entering the residential and institutional space and the employers are so ruthless that they are providing such compensation package including immediate relocations incentives, sign on bonuses, improved performing medical covers and in some cases, even the immediate relocations incentives.

It is a real opportunity to live an untransient successful life in Canada with the targeted visa programs that the governments are providing, the LMIA RIM jobs that the employers are creating and even our provincial incentives (some of them bring along the workers even up to CAD 70,000 to your move).
In order to be as successful as they can:
Among 22 occupations that are tolerable as far as Construction Visa Program is concerned (outandbeyond.com, Indeed, askaia.ca), which of them is your best choice?
Get an employment offer under LMIAP as safe and get a job with a relocation perquisite.
Rip up your papers-language tests, ECAs, job profile and permits.
The desirable opportunities may be located through the government and third party job portals.
Being already determined to move somewhere, remember that both the Express Entry and the PNP will only take a few months to provide the implications, not mentioning the presence of the provincial extras, one of which is a 5,000-dollar moving allowance in Alberta (immigrationnewscanada.ca).
