It is possible to leave for Canada today according to labor and educational programs. Employment needs to be dealt with “on the shore”: the list of professions for which the host country approves the arrival of immigrants is limited. Basically, people with higher education, good qualifications and work experience can count on successful immigration. Those who are applying for the position of a waiter and cloakroom attendant also have a chance to settle in the country of the maple leaf, but they are much lower than those possessed by people with a university degree.
