Here’s a guide to how you can do so by choosing a unique career path that most people aren’t talking about.
What you are looking for is a gateway into Canada and the way to find it is to upskill yourself in an area of work for which there is high demand.
Enter Hospitality & Tourism Industry:
Rapid industry growth in Canada's hospitality sector presents a wide range of employment prospects in areas like dining, lodging, event planning, and tourism.
- In 2019, employment in the sector grew by 3.6%, exceeding Canada's general employment growth rate of 2.3%, according to a research by Tourism HR Canada.
- By 2035, the research predicts that there will be roughly 74,000 new employment openings in the sector.
- The hotel sector also delivers a higher median salary than other Canadian businesses, making it a desirable career path.
The hospitality and Tourism Industry obviously took a toll during the pandemic, however as we are coming out of a dark era, the government of Canada is actively investing tons of resources in the industry to promote its growth. Here are some key trends:
- Funding, of over $17.8 million, will go to 50 organizations to enhance and create new tourism experiences, events and attractions across Alberta
- Government of Canada makes key investment of nearly $1 million in Northwest Territories tourism projects as part of National Tourism Week
- Government of Canada supports projects for youth in the growing tourism and hospitality sector
Not just that, but it is said that latest outlook indicates full recovery for Canada's tourism industry as early as 2024 - one year earlier than previously forecast
All that being said, it is clear that the hospitality and tourism industry is a great pathway towards a successful life in Canada given the industry demand and government spending in this sector.
