In a news conference in Tunis, Canada’s Ambassador Ariel Delouya stated that Immigration is one of the vital aspects and Canada cannot afford to ignore this facet, keeping in mind the nation’s need of Skilled Workers.

The news conference was held on the procedures of Canadian Immigration and if we go with the words of the Canadian diplomat, around 100 to 800 Tunisians arrive to the country every year. Additionally, almost 2,000 applicants on student visa are studying in Canada and nearly 200 people are on temporary work permits (annual statistics). He confirmed that the Canadian Immigration procedures are kept same no matter what the nationality of the applicant is.

In order to immigrate to Canada, it is mandatory for the applicant to have the required number of work experience in the highly requested sectors. As far as the students working in Canada are concerned, they have the freedom to work in Canada, provided they fulfill the requirements linked with the same. They could be granted open-work permit in order to gain professional experience to work in Canada.

Moreover, Tunis will also hold a Canadian education fair in the month of October. The same will be held by Sousse so that students could get all the information and answers to their unsolved queries. The fair will see the participation of around twenty Canadian higher education providers, which would further facilitate the process.

He said that the processing time may take somewhere between 18 and 24 month.
