Ontario is spending $35 million to give skilled worker Canada immigrants the opportunity to get the training they need to find work in their fields. The federal government is also kicking in $22 million to fund 70 existing and new projects that they say will help more than 11,000 immigration Canada applicants.
These programs will provide occupation-specific training, Canadian work experience and help to get the license immigrants need to work in their field. The projects provide help for information technology, law, health care, engineering and business administration.
