The Canadian healthcare system is about to see the shortage of specialists in surgery become even more acute over the coming nine years as the country\u2019s demand continues to outstrip the supply.<\/p>\n

That will create opportunities for qualified foreign nationals to gain their\u00a0permanent residence<\/a>\u00a0here through occupation-targeted\u00a0Express Entry<\/a>\u00a0system draws.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the period 2022 – 2031, the number of job openings arising from expansion demand and replacement demand for specialist physicians are expected to total 29,800, while the number of job seekers arising from school leavers, immigration and mobility is expected to total 24,000,\u201d reports the Canadian Occupational Projection System (COPS) website.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a projected additional shortfall of 5,800 specialists across Canada by 2031.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe labour shortage conditions seen in recent years is expected to persist into the 2022 – 2031 period and could even become more acute as the projected number of job openings are substantially higher than the projected number of job seekers over that period,\u201d forecasts the COPS website.<\/p>\n

As the Canadian population ages, demand for healthcare services is expected to explode.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe number of complex health conditions as well as those requiring additional follow-ups is expected to grow, increasing the need for specialist physicians,\u201d notes the COPS website.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cConsequently, the employment growth rate for these workers is projected to be significantly higher than the average of all occupations. The retirement rate is also expected to be higher than the national average as workers in this occupation tend to be older but retire at a similar age as the rest of the workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although there were already many ways for surgeons to immigrate to Canada, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) added one more pathway for them in May.<\/p>\n

That month, the IRCC changed\u00a0Canada\u2019s Express Entry system to allow it to target 82 jobs in healthcare, technology, trades, transport and agriculture starting this summer \u2013including specialists in surgery\u00a0 <\/span>\u2013 and so opened the door to a new pathway to immigration for them.<\/p>\n
