Canadian Workplaces and Job Security to Immigrants

A recent survey depicted that people who are working in Canada are happy with their jobs. According to a poll by the famous job search engine, monster.ca, commissioned by the Labour Day 46% of people who work in Canada feel that they have more job security today than they did at the same time last year. Canadian workers in public sector felt the most secure at 53% compared with 42% of private sector.

The poll also showed that 88% of people working in Canadian firms were content with their jobs. These Canadian workers were also satisfied with their current employment situation. To a surprise Canadian workers living in Manitoba and Saskatchewan were the most secure with their jobs as compared to the rest of the country.

The unemployment rate in Canada at present is about 8.6% with many signs of its emerging from recession. Inspite the recession and economic turmoil, Canada has still given opportunities to skilled migrants who applied for Canadian visas and work permits. The strategy of which is still paying off.

The results of the survey were out standing. It was also found that 33% of people thought job security with their institutions was the top perk. Besides 31% of people said that best thing was that they could keep a balance between their work and personal life in their present jobs.

The survey was conducted by the Harris-Decima polling company on behalf of Monster.ca. "Although we've seen daily reports of layoffs and plant closures, Canadians are feeling pretty good about how they make a living," said Peter Gilfillan, general manager of Monster Canada. "Anxiety levels seem to be going down, and that's really encouraging."

Apart from holding polls and surveys, Canada is now trying to attract investors and foreign skilled workers to come and live in Canada as the country is short of skilled immigrants. Canada offers a bundle of opportunities to foreign immigrants who come to Canada in a hope to start a new life.
