According to the "Canadian Association of Professional Engineers", there are more than 15,000 jobs available for mechanical engineers and only 10,000 professionals who can fill them. There is an urgent need for qualified mechanical engineers in Canada. With so many positions open and only a small pool of candidates with the right skillset to fulfill those roles. However, working in Canada is not easy, especially if you don't have a [PR visa](https://www.kansaz.in/top-destinations-canada). This blog will help you to unravel various pathways to get in Canada. Read on. ## **Job Titles for Mechanical Engineers in Canada** ![Mechanical-Engineers-canada-job-roles](https://www.kansaz.in/hs-fs/hubfs/Mechanical-Engineers-canada-job-roles.jpg?width=1580&name=Mechanical-Engineers-canada-job-roles.jpg) There are numerous titles under which mechanical engineers can work in Canada. | Airport Engineer | Architectural Engineer | Bridge Engineer | | --- | --- | --- | | Building Envelope Engineer | Cartographic Engineer | Environmental Engineer | | Civil Pipeline Engineer | Civil Structural Engineer | Coastal Engineer | | Concrete Engineer | County Engineer | Dams Engineer | | District Engineer | Drainage Design Engineer | Geodetic Engineer | | Geomatics Engineer | Hydraulics Engineer | Hydrographics Engineer | | Hydrological Engineer | Irrigation Engineer | Drainage Engineer | | Material Engineer | Testing Engineer | Navigation Engineer | | Noise Abatement Engineer | Ocean Engineer | Photogrammetric Engineer | | Pollution Control Engineer | Public Works Engineer | Traffic Engineer | | Reclamation Engineer | Remote Sensing Engineer | Sanitation Engineer | | Sewage Control Engineer | Transportation Engineer | Tunnel Engineer | | Road Systems Engineer | Water Systems Engineer | Water Treatment Engineer |   Mechanical engineers work under NOC category 2131 in Canada. All the titles given in the table above are applicable under NOC category 7251. **Pathways for Mechanical Engineers to Immigrate to Canada** There are two ways of applying for Canada Permanent Residency (PR) status. One is through the Express Entry Program and the other through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). The [Express Entry pathway](https://www.kansaz.in/canada-immigration/express-entry) is a federal program that allows candidates to settle anywhere in Canada. The [Provincial Nominee Program](https://www.kansaz.in/canada-immigration/pnp/) or PNP is a province based PR status. It allows candidates to stay in the region they are nominated from. - **Express Entry Program** Express Entry is a fast-track model designed to bridge the gap of skilled workforce in Canada. The online profile of the candidate is evaluated based on a point-based measurement. These are known as the [Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points](https://www.kansaz.in/canada-immigration/crs-calculator). **Main Parameters for CRS Points** | **Parameters** | **Description** | | --- | --- | | **Age** | There is no defined limit. But 18-35 years of age is considered ideal. | | **Language Proficiency** | It is a very important factor. Those who can also speak French apart from English are allotted extra points. Take IELTS or CLB tests. | | **Education** | Higher education is an added advantage for immigration. | | **Work Experience** | Higher work experience will help score more CRS points. | | **Adaptability** | Having a spouse/sibling in Canada begets you extra points. |   Other factors are also taken into account. Once candidates complete the Express Entry Program, their profile is moved to the Express Entry Pool.  Eligible candidates are then selected through periodical [draws for permanent residency](https://www.kansaz.in/canada-immigration/express-entry-latest-draw) if they meet the minimum eligibility score. Invitation to apply for PR status needs to be responded to within 90 days.  - **Provincial Nominee Program** Candidates with low CRS scores in Express Entry Pool can apply for Canadian permanent residency through the Provincial Nominee Program. Each Canadian province has its eligibility criteria. Candidates should meet the required parameters to attain PR status.  **Here are the eligibility criteria for some provinces** - [Saskatchewan Immigration Nominee Program (SINP)](https://www.kansaz.in/canada-immigration/pnp/saskatchewan) - Requires 60 points out of 100 points grid. - [Ontario Immigration Nominee Program (OINP)](https://www.kansaz.in/canada-immigration/pnp/ontario) - Requires Express Entry CRS score of 400 points. - [Nova Scotia Provincial Nominee Program (NS PNP)](https://www.kansaz.in/canada-immigration/pnp/nova-scotia) - Requires the occupation to be in-demand along with a 4.5 IELTS score. [**Talk to Expert**](https://www.kansaz.in/free-consultation) ## **PNP streams for Mechanical Engineers in Canadian provinces** There are several streams for skilled workers in provinces where mechanical engineers can apply for.
