Come to Canada as a Social Worker

The time has come for social workers who want to become permanent residents of Canada. Due to Canada’s persistent social worker deficit, there is a high need for social workers. Social workers now have even more options to come to Canada because to recent modifications to the Express Entry system.

The Reaction of Canada to the Shortage of Social Workers

The government of Canada announced modifications to the Express Entry system in late February 2025 with the goal of resolving persistent worker shortages, especially in the social services and healthcare sectors. Social workers now have an advantage when qualifying for and obtaining permanent residency in Canada as a result of these developments.

Titles of Eligible Jobs

The Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), previously announced that the healthcare category was expanded to include social services in a variety of fields, such as support for children, marginalised groups, people with mental health or addiction issues, and more. This is one of the recent changes to Express Entry. Some qualifying job titles are as follows:

·       Addictions Worker

·       Women’s Shelter Supervisor

·       Child and Youth Worker

·       Rehabilitation Worker

·       Developmental Service Worker

·       Healthcare Social Worker

·       Mental Health Social Worker

·       Family Services Worker

It’s crucial to remember that the list above only includes a small selection of social worker job titles that qualify.  There are additional work titles you might fit under, so check the Government of Canada website for the complete list of qualified occupations.
