Hi everyone!  I'm Heather DeMarco at the business desk and today I'd like to make a plug for Canada.

Our neighbors to the North are really going guns these days.  Canada!  A small but very dynamic country with plenty of opportunities for the person who is serious about it all.  Canada may be known as the frozen North but what many don't know is that this very unassuming country holds the key to tons of lucrative opportunities.

Canada is multi cultural with English and French being the two official languages.  It boasts a population of a little over 33 million people and it takes in thousands of new immigrants on an annual basis.  Its main industries include:  Oil and gas, technology, agriculture, and fishing.  However, over the past decade it has developed quite nicely in other areas such as medical and scientific research. 

You may be asking yourself then what's so special about Canada?  There's lots more to tell.  The Canadian dollar has risen quite sharply against our US dollar within the last year and more and more companies are scrambling to get in on a part of the oil and gas exploration and development.  Added to this we have the Canadian government encouraging the development of more small businesses.

So what's in it for Americans?  Plenty.  There is a shortage of certain types of skills in Canada and the Canadian government is very anxious to fill these gaping holes.  Skills shortages such as:

Doctors and nurses.  Canada needs to fill its coffers with skilled medical professionals. 

Skilled researchers.  Many Canadian institutions of learning are anxious to attract researchers.

Technology skills.  Canada is also seeking to fill its computer cubicles with skilled technology professionals.

In addition, due to the rapid retirement of Canadian baby boomers presently taking place, Canada is presently experiencing a shortage in certain sectors and the experts are predicting that if this issue is not addressed today the situation will become increasingly critical and that by 2008 the boiling point will be reached.

Canada is also expanding its tentacles into such places as South America and Asia and accordingly it is seeking skilled linguists to help with the push.  So, if you speak either French or Spanish in addition to English then this may be your chance to get a headstart.

 

I'll leave you with some info that you can use to make yourself more marketable in Canada.
