Canada has a global reputation for a competitive economy, a healthy financial system and a robust labor market.

The country is particularly characterized by its strengths in technology-based problem solving, making it a sought-after location for professionals in IT and related technology industries.

For those who wish to work in Canada, a temporary work permit or permanent resident visa is required. Canada is known for its generous social benefits, decent working conditions and the high quality of life it offers its residents. This makes the country particularly attractive to workers from all over the world, including Germany.

German companies have a strong presence in Canada, which offers German expats a variety of job opportunities. These companies often operate in the technology, finance and healthcare sectors - industries that are among the highest paid in Canada.
