Canada to create new jobs in green energy for foreigners

Canada, 20th September: Canadian government has announced its intentions to create new jobs in green energy sector for those wanting to immigrate to Canada to work there.

A total of 50,000 new jobs in Canada will be created in green energy out of which around 20,000 new jobs will be created in the period of next five years.

Such new jobs will require young and skilled immigrants to live and work in Canada by obtaining Canada work visas.

New workers will be required in construction, maintenance, engineering and IT sectors to realize the dream of Canada’s green energy become true.

Canada has reiterated the need for increased transparency in the initiatives of its government affecting the green energy sector during the WEC (World Energy Congress) Montreal 2010 round table meet of Canada’s energy ministers. Various provincial Energy Ministers agreed to the fact that economic development in Canada is going to be driven largely by the huge energy projects.

The WEC witnessed almost all provinces of Canada coming up with exciting plans for growth of energy in the coming times.

Already, Canada’s Northwest Territories are seeking Canadian government’s help for creating a big pipeline project in Canada.

Minister of Natural Resources for Newfoundland and Labrador, Kathy Dunderdale, since energy plays an integral role in driving the economy of Canada, so, there is a greater need for greater transparency in policies from various government sectors. She also expressed plans for energy development while emphasizing on the need for reinvestments in renewable energy including hydroelectricity by using revenues from offshore oil and gas production.

It’s mainly due to the power of energy economy that has helped Canada overcome the economic crisis so early while several other nations are still reeling under the global slowdown, stated Rob Liepert, Alberta Energy Minister.

Canada is looking forward to create nearly 50,000 new jobs in the coming five years in green energy and the goal is to eliminate coal from the energy mix by the year 2014, said Minister of Energy, Ontario, Brad Duguid.

Ontario already has invested $9 billion in renewable energy projects to become an international destination for development of renewable energy.
