Adjusters added to list of in-demand occupations by Immigration Canada

Insurance adjusters and claims examiners have been added to the list of occupations on the Federal Skilled Worker program.
The program identifies occupations in Canada that are considered in-demand or high-need. Should an immigrant have at least one year of paid work experience during the last 10 years in one of the qualifying occupations they become eligible for a permanent resident visa.
Insurance adjusters and claims examiners are one of 11 new additions to the program, bringing the total number of qualifying occupations to 29.
“The government of Canada amended the list of qualifying occupations to better respond to the present needs of Canada’s economy,” the Canadian Immigrantion Newsletter says.
“While most regions in Canada are experiencing a shortage of professionals and skilled workers in these occupations, some cities and regions have a particularly high need for workers with this experience.”
