Canadian authorities have announced they are seeking skilled workers from Nigeria and other parts of the world.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) made the announcement in a social media post on Monday, providing a link to its official website for further engagement with interested applicants.

“Canada is seeking skilled tradespeople, such as carpenters, plumbers and machinists, to build our communities,” IRCC said. 

The IRCC encouraged Nigerians and immigrants from other nations with relevant skills to explore its immigration process to relocate to Canada.

“If you have the training, credentials and experience in the skilled trades we’re looking for, explore our immigration pathways and build your future in Canada,” IRCC said.
