2011-2016, states that there will be a labour shortage of qualified applicants for IT related jobs in Canada within the next few years. The report was released by the Information and Communications Technology Council (ICTC).

According to the report, over 106,000 IT related positions will become available between 2011 and 2016 in Canada; however there may not be enough people to fill those positions. The report has also indicated that the most shortages will occur for positions which require five or more years of experience.

In order to address the concerns regarding labour shortages, the report is suggesting five recommendations:
Post-secondary students should be encourages to take IT-related courses;
Foreign-education workers should be better integrated into Canada's IT workforce;
Making post-secondary education more cross-disciplinary; and
Making the IT industry more accessible for various skill levels and diverse employees.

Another important suggestion made by the report is to bring more foreign skilled workers to Canada. The IT industry will be looking for skilled workers with many different skills, rather than a specific technical expertise.

The Government of Canada has not indicated how these shortages will affect their immigration strategies. Canadavisa.com will report on any changes to the Canadian immigration programs once they have been announced.

Hello everyone!!!
I am new to this forum.
I am planning to submit my documents this month. and in a day or two i am going to have my medical examination.
Please tell me the procedure for medical examination. what documents i need to be taken to DMP for medical examination etc...


@ longprocedure,

Find out the nearest DMP from CIC website and take the appointment for the Medical - u need to fillup a form at the clinic.

1 Passport copy (1)
2 Passport size Photo (2)

they will take the blood & x-ray (chest) for tests and will ask u to go home, they will directly sent the reports to CHC ND.
Also they will give u receipt for ur reference.

hope this will help u..

@longprocedure,

DMP will provide the form there and u need to fill it up and attach 1 photo

No idea about other identity coz my DMP asked my passport copy,

i think passport copy will be better to find out ur medical reports in CHC ND

Sorry,,, u need to carry 3 passport size photographs


Rgds,
Ben
 
they provide appendix c or any other form to fill.....
n what they provide as proof.....
anybody else who knows whether its fine to bring any other official identity instead of passport because i m not having my passport in hand......

I would suggest that you contact the DMP to see what they will allow at their office.
It can be variable :)

This is normal. 60% of the people will get there visa about 50-90 days after the file transfer.

50 days ---> Apr 5
90 days ---> May 15

Should arrive in the next month. Hopefully its not a long process. If it is then about July 15.
