If you are thinking about attending the Working Abroad Expo at the RDS in Dublin today or tomorrow (21 and 22 March) I'd get the skates on. I was there when it opened at 10 this morning and already there were queues of people happily handing over their €10 to get in.
Inside the scene was no different. Within 15 minutes there long queues forming at most stands. What is most striking about the event is the number of young couples talking about emigrating together, not as a result of the failure to get a job in Ireland, but more with a sense of anticipation at the exciting move that lies ahead.
Exhibitors at the event include organizations offering construction jobs, engineering jobs and mining jobs in Canada, specifically Alberta. The two people manning this stand looked like they could do with some help to cope with the throngs looking for work opportunities in Canada. Elsewhere the New Zealand jobs stand was looking for construction project engineers, project managers and construction managers for a major residential development and infrastructure projects and the group tradesrecognition.com was offering assistance to those who may need a liitle help to meet the qualification criteria for construction jobs in Australia.

Boomtime for Canada's civils sector
With the smell of recession in the air the Canadian government has moved to stave off a downturn by committing more funding to capital and municipal construction projects.
At a meeting in Ottawa at the beginning of November, the federal Canadian government and provinces said it would accelerate infrastructure spending to remedy the country's ailing economy. At the First Ministers' meeting, Prime Minister Stephen Harper agreed to push for quicker action on the construction front as a means of stimulating job creation. And with an array of major construction schemes already through the planning stages, the prospects for construction jobs in Canada, particularly jobs in Canada’s civils industry look relatively bright.
A recent study released by the Canadian municipalities claims that $1bn dollars spent infrastructure, "would produce more jobs and a greater economic stimulus than a combined $2-billion tax reduction." The fact that country's bridges, roads, sewage and water pipes are in bad shape and need the investment also means the government’s commitment is very timely.
Hundreds of municipal infrastructure projects are already set to go in to construction phase and they can be financed by a fund of $3bn in the federal Building Canada Fund.
Key projects that will drive the infrastructure boom include plans to further develop transit networks in several Canadian cities. These are all ready to go to site, once funding is approved. Ottawa’s city council has also just approved $1.7 billion transit plans that include a 12-kilometre light rail line east-west across the city, with a tunnel under a section of downtown.
Unlike other countries that have cut back on their capital spending, the Canadian government’s decision to spend, spend and spend should be a welcome boost for those considering emigrating and seeking construction jobs in Canada.

Canada’s Top 10 construction, oil and gas trade jobs
Although Canada’s economy has fared reasonably well during 2008 when compared to many other economies, the country expects to suffer somewhat during 2009. Because of its close ties with the US economy, it is practically unavoidable. On only one occasion it did not follow the US in to recession.
However, the outlook for Canada's construction, oil and gas jobs is relatively positive as the country has been suffering a shortage of skilled cionstruction, oil and gas tradesmen for a number of years now. With vast natural resources, many construction projects and an aging workforce, Canadian construction firms are looking to Europe to hire skilled foreign tradesmen.
Skilled tradespeople are in demand in many sectors in all 10 provinces and three territories of Canada. And, if you have the required amount of work experience in order to be certified and to work, maybe Canada has the right job and lifestyle for you.
In terms of wages, Canada has some of the highest paying construction jobs in the world. And when it comes to visas, Canada has significantly less stringent criteria and processes than is the case in the US. Its immigration laws allow foreign workers to bring their family to Canada, and apply for Permanent Residency status.
The Top 10 Construction trades that are regularly sought are outlined below. And while demand changes from month to month for the trade, the actual trades being sought rarely do
