Geoscientists and Oceanographers

Last Updated on September 14, 2016

We are currently accepting requests from foreign nationals with suitable experience and training as Geoscientists and Oceanographers, seeking to live and work in Canada on an expedited basis for immediate full time employment in this occupation in Canada.

Our fast track work programs provide qualified applicants and their families with immediate temporary entry to Canada on the basis of a government approved offer of full time employment commensurate with their qualifications.

Qualified applicants will receive work permits for immediate entry to Canada along with their family dependents. Thereafter qualified applicants and their families may also apply for Canadian permanent residence.

Canadian employers offer remunerative benefit packages which can exceed CAD $129,500.

To qualify, prospective applicants must meet the following basic requirements:

1. Geoscientists:
    must have acquired, at a minimum, bachelor’s degree in geology, geochemistry, geophysics or a related discipline.
   Oceanographers:
   You must have acquired a university degree in science, mathematics, statistics or engineering.
2. You must have a minimum of 1+ years of relevant experience.
3. You must have good English or French language skills. 
4. You must attest to being drug free. 
5. You must have a clean police record during the past 5 years (excluding speeding offences).

If you meet the above minimum requirements you must have experience carrying out the majority of the following duties:

Geoscientists perform some or all of the following duties:

• Conduct theoretical and applied research to extend knowledge of surface and subsurface features of the earth, its history and the operation of physical, chemical and biological systems that control its evolution
• Plan, direct and participate in geological, geochemical and geophysical field studies, drilling and geological testing programs
• Plan and conduct seismic, electromagnetic, magnetic, gravimetric, radiometric, radar and other remote sensing programs
• Plan, direct and participate in analyses of geological, geochemical and geophysical survey data, well logs and other test results, maps, notes and cross sections
• Develop models and applied software for the analysis and interpretation of data
• Plan and conduct analytical studies of core samples, drill cuttings and rock samples to identify chemical, mineral, hydrocarbon and biological composition and to assess depositional environments and geological age
• Assess the size, orientation and composition of mineral ore bodies and hydrocarbon deposits
• Identify deposits of construction materials and determine their characteristics and suitability for use as concrete aggregates, road fill or for other applications
• Conduct geological and geophysical studies for regional development and advise in areas such as site selection, waste management and restoration of contaminated sites
• Recommend the acquisition of lands, exploration and mapping programs and mine development
• Identify and advise on anticipated natural risks such as slope erosion, landslides, soil instability, subsidence, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions
• May supervise and co-ordinate well drilling, completion and work-overs and mining activities.

Oceanographers perform some or all of the following duties:

• Conduct theoretical and applied oceanographic research programs and expeditions to extend knowledge of the physical, chemical and biological properties and functioning of oceans
• Plan, direct and participate in sampling and analysis of seawater, plankton, fish, sediments and rocks
• Study physical properties of oceans to develop models, charts and computer simulations of ocean conditions, such as tides, waves, currents and sediment transport
• Explore ocean floor and submarine geological structures, conduct seismic surveys and study formation of ocean basins and other structures to map ocean floor, coastal erosion, sediment accumulation and areas for offshore oil and gas exploration
• Plan and conduct investigations on ocean chemical properties and processes, ocean floor and marine atmosphere and undersea volcanoes to study impacts of environmental changes
• Study marine life and interaction with physical and chemical environments to assess impacts of pollutants on marine ecology and to develop ecologically-based methods of seafarming.

Individuals who meet the above five (5) basic requirements and who perform the majority of the above descriptions may be eligible for our Fast Track Work Program as a Geoscientist or an Oceanographer.

How to proceed forward with our assistance

1. Complete the following questionnaire and we will further evaluate your qualifications. 
2. We will evaluate your qualifications and contact you within 1-2 business days to discuss the modalities of this program.

We look forward to assisting you in relocating to Canada soon!
