Why apply to the job bank in Canada for Spaniards?

For several decades, the Canadian government has been strengthening international ties with Spain, providing immigration facilities, academic exchange programmes, scholarships and offering a robust labour market with well-paid salaries, with all the guarantees of social security, benefits and other benefits of a solid and promising labour system.

At least three characteristics of Canada explain this phenomenon. The first is the country’s wealth. Multiple oil and natural gas fields are the basis of a comfortable economy, which offers many productive sectors that are highly competitive in the world market.

The second reason is that it is one of the 10 countries with the lowest population density and the second largest country in the world, after Russia. The third argument to justify this information is the quality of life, valid if you check the two previous ones, but with an additional meaning.

How much do you earn working in Canada?

The US dollar a day is 1.26 Canadian dollars; the euro is 1.14 Canadian dollars. So do a general calculation. You’ll see that it’s worth it. The minimum wage is € 1,300.00, but on average it is € 3,000.00. In most offers you will find the salary allowance and this can be very variable.

Some specialised, professional and even technical jobs are above €4,000.00 and even €5,000.00 per month. At the end of this blog, we will talk about a decision that more and more Spaniards are making, which is to teach their mother tongue.

Of course, you will have to subject the figures to conversion factors and this fluctuates on a daily basis. But in general terms it doesn’t sound bad, does it? Besides, you will have an unforgettable experience, there is a lot to see and you will be able to meet a lot of people from all over the world.
