CANADA GLOBAL TALENT STREAM ADDS FIVE NEW ELIGIBLE OCCUPATIONS TO PROGRAM
On December 22nd, Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) expanded the list of eligible occupations in the Global Talent Stream (GTS).
-Previously at 12 positions, the list of eligible occupations has now expanded to 17 with the addition of five engineering roles.
-These are:
Civil Engineers (NOC code 21300);
Electrical and electronics engineer (NOC code 21310);
Mining engineers (NOC code 21330);
Aerospace engineers (NOC code 21390); and
Computer engineers (except software engineers and designers, NOC code 21311).
The inclusion of these five new positions is likely telling of an internal need for engineering labour in Canada.
