Construction Managers are eligible to apply for permanent residency in Canada through the Federal Skilled Worker Program, managed by the Express Entry system.

This will require that you send an Expression of Interest to relocate to the relevant region.

It is aimed at skilled individuals who know which province they would like to settle in when they arrive in Canada and assuming that province is one of the four participating provinces in this immigration pilot.
This program was aimed to address the labour shortages in the four Atlantic provinces; Nova Scotia, Newfoundland & Labrador, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island.
