A Saskatchewan delegation travelling to Manila, Philippines from May 20 to May 30 expects to attract approximately 250 skilled workers to the province.
"This mission to the Philippines is an example of the type of public-private partnerships that are key to increasing immigration, building our communities and sustaining our economy," Advanced Education, Employment and Labour Minister Rob Norris said. "This mission also provides an excellent opportunity to promote Saskatchewan as a centre for investment and trade."
This trip, as well as a trip to Ukraine scheduled for June, will support the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program in meeting its goal of 2,800 nominations for the 2008-09 fiscal year.
Minister Norris and three Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) officials will accompany 11 employers on the recruitment mission. Participating employers are taking the lead in terms of attracting potential employees, while provincial government officials provide support through on-site assessment of their eligibility for the SINP.
Participating employers are mainly from the manufacturing and service sectors.
"In order to grow our business, we need to be able to hire skilled trades people and that's extremely difficult in Saskatchewan right now," Gregg's Plumbing and Heating owner and general manager Jim Gregg said. "We're hoping to recruit up to 16 people and have them here within three months, which is important because we need these new employees as soon as possible."
In 2007-08, the Philippines was the top source country for the SINP with 640 nominations.
