Due to a serious lack of Construction Project Managers with two or more years of experience, many roles in Australia and Canada are now unfilled. Construction recruiters in these two countries routinely engage construction project managers from other countries on a short- and long-term basis. Without a job offer, one can also gain residency in these countries using the popular Skilled Migration and Express Entry pathways.

Construction Project Managers, Construction Estimators, and other professionals are among those in high demand in this field. Construction Project Managers are in higher demand than others in most circumstances, but all sorts are in high demand.

How do I secure a Residency Visa in Australia or Canada as a Construction Project Manager?

Without a Job Offer

Did you know that in Australia and Canada, you can apply for residency before obtaining a job offer? Both Canada and Australia have skilled migration programs that allow you to apply for residency based simply on your professional qualifications. Eligibility is influenced by factors such as age, education, and work experience. Because companies would not have to deal with the onboarding work permit procedure once you have gotten your temporary or permanent residency status, you will be in a much better position to land your desired job. Because you already have working rights in your passport, you might start working right immediately. This is without a doubt the most effective way to start a new life in these countries.

With a Job Offer

Most applicants who do not meet the criteria for skilled migration begin looking for work in their preferred nation. Being "Job Ready" is a must in this situation. A skills evaluation is required for the vast majority of work visa subclasses. A legitimate skills evaluation will lend a lot of weight to an applicant's CV when looking for work.
