Pilot Programs
Pilot programs are short-term immigration initiatives designed to satisfy the short-labour needs of particular Canadian provinces and regions. By providing a pathway to permanent residency for persons who desire to live and work permanently in Canada, these programs aim to solve skill shortages by bringing in skilled, semi-skilled, and unskilled employees.
The major requirement for applying to pilot programs is often a job offer from a designated Canadian firm because the employer usually organises these programs.
