Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has announced it is actively seeking skilled tradespeople — including carpenters, plumbers and machinists — from Nigeria and other countries, inviting qualified applicants to explore its official immigration pathways.
Canada is calling — and it wants your skills, not just your degree.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced on Monday that the country is actively recruiting skilled tradespeople from Nigeria and across the world to support community development and infrastructure growth.
In a social media post accompanied by a link to its official website, the IRCC made its pitch directly to prospective applicants.
“Canada is seeking skilled tradespeople, such as carpenters, plumbers and machinists, to build our communities,” the agency said.
Peoples Gazette reports that the IRCC encouraged Nigerians and immigrants from other nations with relevant qualifications to take the next step.
“If you have the training, credentials and experience in the skilled trades we’re looking for, explore our immigration pathways and build your future in Canada,” the agency stated.
The announcement opens a formal channel for Nigerian tradespeople — a demographic often overlooked in conversations dominated by graduate and professional migration — to explore legal, structured pathways to relocate to Canada through its established immigration process.
Interested applicants can access further details and begin their application process through the IRCC’s official website at ircc.canada.ca.
