CANADÁ: POLÍTICAS DE IMIGRAÇÃO, MERCADO DE TRABALHO E AS POSSÍVEIS ÁREAS DE ATUAÇÃO PARA O PROFISSIONAL DE LEA-NI

Abstract

Immigration occurs when someone moves to another country in order to establish themselves and remains there indefinitely in search of better living conditions and stability. (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, 2010). In addition to offering these opportunities, Canada develops and implements reception and adaptation policies for immigrants. Given this, the arrival of foreigners in the country only increases. In the Canadian professional market, this strong presence of immigrants fills important gaps and contributes to the economic, cultural and social development of the country. This contribution becomes more positive with the presence and workforce of prepared and qualified professionals with linguistic proficiency and multidisciplinary training who have the ability to develop activities in growing sectors, contributing to the country’s economic growth. To analyze this context, we conducted this research, which is bibliographical, exploratory and qualitative in nature. As a theoretical reference, we use the assumptions of Thompson (1995), Borjas (2019), reports, statistics, news, and information from official websites of the Canadian government, digital magazines, university websites and others. At the end of the article, we note that the knowledge and skills acquired by LEA-NI students throughout the course can empower professionals in order to meet the needs and demands of the Canadian technology, tourism and consulting sectors. Specializations and the pursuit of continuous improvement can increase the chances of success for this professional in Canada.
