CANADA OPENS JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDONESIANS

Denpasar, Indonesia, March 30 (ANTARA) - Canada has opened job opportunities for foreign workers including from Indonesia, in the formal sector, a Canadian immigration lawyer, Louay Alghoul, said here on Monday.

"The Canadian government has opened the opportunity for job seekers in other countries, including Indonesia, to work in the formal sector in Canada," Alghoul said at a business meeting on Indonesian migrant workers.

He said the foreign workers could be employed on long-term contracts and ultimately have the chance to become Canadian citizens.

"In addition, they will receive high wages and good protection," he said, adding that in Canada local and foreign workers were treated equally.

He said the job opportunities offered available in Canada for foreign workers were in the fields of health, construction, and hotel industry.

In addition, he said, Canada was seeking serious partners from Indonesia to cooperate in the manpower employment field.

"We even want to open an official representative office in Indonesia," he said.***
