Before Christmas, wonderful news came for engineers from Canada. Engineers are in-demand across the world. Canada also feels the same, so the country has planned to invite more and more qualified skilled engineers. As a part of the process, after Australia, Canada also jumps into the pool and added them to the work permit-based stream. As per the latest update, the Global Talent Stream added five new engineering occupations to apply for a Canada Work Permit.
