Ontario invests $2.6 million in job training for newcomers

Ontario is investing $2.6M in job training programs for over 300 newcomers, including Afghan and Ukrainian refugees, to help them find good jobs in Canada. The province is also cracking down on temporary help agencies, exploiting foreign workers by paying them less than minimum wage and withholding their passports.  The new law will require these agencies to get a license by Jan 1, 2024, and those who violate workers’ rights will face fines ranging from $100,000 to $200,000. Ontario’s Immigration Minister, Monte McNaughton, believes everyone must collaborate to build the Canadian dream. To help immigrants who have received international education in the fields in which they intend to work, the Ontario government is taking the lead in Canada with first-in-Canada changes. Women’s Services for Newcomers In Toronto, 230 immigrant women will receive advice on careers, job readiness instruction, and a paid internship as part of a $1,522,396 project.  For the purpose of training 60 Afghan and Ukrainian newcomers who are unemployed or underemployed for employment in Ontario’s manufacturing sector, UTIMUS is giving away $833,626. Throughout 2023, UTIMUS is offering training in four cohorts.  For their initiative, which will hire and train 15 newcomers at the Refugee Services and Furniture Bank for eight to ten weeks and help them find longer-term work prospects, Matthew House Ottawa is receiving $137,850. Training is offered till March 2024.  To give 30 Ukrainian artists the skills and exposure they need to land work with regional businesses in the arts industry, Toronto Artscape Inc. is receiving $123,190. Training for Artscape will start on September 6, 2023.    Monte McNaughton, Minister of Labour, Immigration, Training, and Skills Development stated:  “Ontario is the first Canadian authority to ban discriminatory Canadian work experience requirements, allowing immigrants to work in the fields they have studied for. To build the Canadian dream, we need everyone on board. The province will continue to receive excellent jobs and opportunities due to the efforts of our government. Together, we are building a stronger Ontario that doesn’t leave anyone behind.” Join our RSS Feed    Want to know more details about “Ontario invests $2.6 million in job training for newcomers” you can contact one of our immigration specialists at  Gunness & Associates.   Tel: (416) 604-2669  Email: info@immigrationmatters.info   Gunness & Associates has helped thousands of people successfully immigrate to Canada with their families.

trucking job

Ontario has the most trucking job vacancies in Canada

Ontario has a high demand for qualified workers to fill trucking jobs, making it a great opportunity for foreigners under economic immigration programs. Job Bank listed 882 trucking jobs in late May under the National Occupational Classification 2021 code 73300.  The Greater Toronto Area has the most trucking job opportunities, with 56% of the positions in the province. Truckers in Ontario can earn a median hourly wage of $24, which can go up to $32.34 per hour, leading to an annual wage scale of up to $63,063 for a standard 37.5-hour work week. However, truck drivers frequently receive kilometer-based bonuses that increase their pay dramatically. Both the federal and provincial governments have been assisting with immigration policies to grant work permits and permanent residence to qualified foreign workers looking for these kinds of jobs in Canada as transportation companies are in need of truckers to replenish and grow their aging workforce. After including the job in its Ontario Immigrant Nominee Programme (OINP) Employer Job Offer In-Demand Skills Stream four years ago, Ontario has taken the lead in assisting transportation companies in hiring internationally trained truckers.   What are the requirements for a trucking job work permit in Canada? To be eligible for a truck driver work permit in Canada and to fulfill their goals and dreams, interested candidates must fulfill all eligibility requirements as stated in the section “Truck driver work permit Canada requirements.” Among the fundamental requirements for eligibility are: two years of trucking work experience in a Gulf country.  A license from a Gulf country is required, alongside a truck driver visa. Proficiency in the English language in speaking, reading, listening, and writing. Reading, listening, speaking, and writing are all rated as having a band of four on the Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) 5 level.  A designated Canadian employer who has received a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) should endorse the visa application. Sufficient funds.

On average, a long-haul truck driver in Ontario can make $62,036 per year as of May 26, 2023. In case you need an instant pay estimator, that comes out to around $29.83 per hour. This amounts to $5,169 per month or $1,193 each week. While ZipRecruiter reports wages as high as $103,000 and as low as $31,500, most Long Haul Truck Driver salaries now fall between $54,500 (25th percentile) and $78,500 (75th percentile), with the highest earners (90th percentile) in Ontario getting $95,500 yearly. There may be several prospects for growth and improved compensation depending on skill level, region, and years of experience because the average pay range for a long-haul truck driver can vary substantially (up to $24,000).
