MIG Production Line WELDERS

General Job Description

A Canadian agricultural equipment manufacturer would like to employ ten MIG welders from either China or the Philippines.  The welders will be responsible for the welding of plate forgings, mild and galvanized with thickness ranging from 1/16 inches to 3/4 inches.  Reading, understanding and applying blueprints and drawings is required.  Noting errors and discrepancies on the drawings and advising the supervisor is also required.  Each welder is responsible for complete inspection on quality standards.

Preventative maintenance of welding equipment is also an important part of the job.  The work requires frequent exposure to dirty work environments, intense heat and light and burn hazards.  Some of the specific skills that are required for this job are outlined below:

• Must have the ability to read and use a tape measure accurately

• Must have or acquire basic knowledge of steel and steel descriptions

• Must have the ability to work productively while unsupervised

• Must be punctual and attend work regularly

• Must have cutting torch skills

Description of Wages and Benefits

The starting wage per hour is $10.00 Canadian dollars.  Each worker is given at least 40 hours of work per week on average during the year.  This equates to a starting salary of $1600.00 Canadian dollars per month.  If the employee performs well, the wage per hour will be increased to $12.00 – 15.30 per hour in the second year which equates to a monthly salary of between $1900-2400 Canadian dollars.  There is a three-month probationary period for all new employees.  Once the worker has passed the probationary period, they will be enrolled in the company’s medical plan which covers 80% of the dental costs, 80% of prescription drugs, vision, short term disability and long term disability and life insurance.   The cost of this private medical insurance is shared by the employee ($100) and employer ($100) for a total cost per month of $200 Canadian dollars.   

Immigration and Company Requirements

• Married with children (willing to immigrate to Canada permanently)

• At least 5 years work experience as a MIG production line welder

• 28-42 years old

• Basic Knowledge of English (IELTS score not necessary)

• Welding Trade Certificate

• Sincere Desire to work for this employer for at least 3 years

• No relatives in Canada (we do not want to find people who already have relatives in Canada as they tend not to remain with the employer for a long time)

• Completed at least 2-3 years of technical college relating to welding 

• If they have personal savings of more than $10,000 Canadian dollars this would help their application

• No Criminal Record

• Preferably no work experience overseas exceeding six months (they will be required to obtain a police certificate from the country in which they worked – delays the application too much)

• Health Family (principal applicant, spouse and children)

• Currently working as welder (if they have changed occupation then they do not qualify)

           加拿大西部焊接工作机遇

                加拿大Explore China公司总裁

               科瑞思·斯雷德

    加拿大复员辽阔﹑经济发达，工业在世界上享有盛誉，其焊接工业是加拿大工业产业的重要支柱产业之一。但目前加拿大机械，焊工人严重短缺，急需海外技术人才移民加拿大来缓解这一短缺局面。下面就有关问题做一简单介绍：

 加拿大西部缺乏焊接技术工人的原因 (加拿大西部焊接工人短缺的原因如下：)

1.  西部工业的迅速发展   西部便宜的土地价格（相当于5000元人民币/公顷）和不断扩大的市场以及快速提高的技术生产力都在不同程度上刺激了工业的发展。

2.  人口呈负增长  目前在加拿大，当地的技术工人数量在绝对性的减少，加拿大正面临着严重的劳动力短缺。据加政府统计，加拿大在未来20年中至少缺300万左右技术工人。由此可见，技术工人短缺不仅仅存在于加拿大的焊接行业，其他行业也普遍存在这个问题。事实上，在加拿大，护士﹑医生﹑建筑工人﹑工程师 金属加工技工 汽车修理工﹑养猪技术工人和卡车司机等行业的技术工人都是短缺的。

加拿大西部生活方式

    多数的焊接厂位于加拿大西部各个小镇周围，所以技术工人多居住于这些乡村小镇。这样有三个好处：一，生活费用低，技术工人能够将大部分的收入积攒起来，尽管焊接厂技术工人的工资在加拿大标准中不算太高，但低廉的生活费用足可以弥补相对工资较低的不足。总体来说，生活费用约是城市生活费用的50%~60%。二，由于城镇劳动力的普遍缺乏，技术工人的配偶在加拿大西部可以很容易的找到工作。所以，一个三口之家在加拿大能够有两份稳定的收入。三，乡村社区同样能够提供大城市一样的教育、医疗等条件。同时，乡村拥有安全而干净舒适的生活环境。

    在费用方面，技术工人可以按照以下方式安排：租一套一室一厅或两室一厅的公寓大约需100~300加元/月，个人所得税为16%。食品花销以一家人的消费计算，大约200~400加元/月。在乡下购买一套三室一厅的房子大约为两万到四万加元。总的来说，费用比在城市低大约50%~60%。

    一个家庭夫妻都有工作的话，他们第一年每月能够积攒一万到一万两千元人民币。到第三年，他们应该能够每月富余一万两千到一万八千元人民币。

    加拿大的社会福利以其高福利和免费性著称。举个例子，加拿大从小学教育一直到高中全部为免费。加拿大居民的基本医疗保障也由政府提供。

    这个机会对于那些愿意为自己和家人寻求新生活的技工人来说应该是机不可失。

技术工人在工厂的工作主要涉及： 

1.阅读并解释图纸和焊接加工规范

 2.应用手动的或半自动的焊接设备对金属部件施焊；

 3.进行钨极气体弧焊接（GTAW）， 

 4.气体金属弧焊接（GMAW）， 

 5.氧乙炔焊接（OAW）， 

 6.电阻焊接和埋弧焊接（SAW）等焊接方法，对铜焊和软焊设备、火焰切割设备和金属加工设备等进行操作，如应用制动设备、剪床和其他能够使金属变直或变弯的机器。

申请步骤

    申请加拿大技术工人移民全部过程约需6~12个月，包括技术工人的配偶及子女移民。如果中国焊接技术人员想申请加拿大焊接厂工作职位需具备以下条件：

1. 教育程度：中﹑大专或本科相关专业毕业。接受过焊接工培训并拥有加拿大焊接证书。

2. 工作经验：一般情况下需要4年以上的焊接工作经验。

3. 英语：不要求

4. 年龄：24-44岁

5. 性别：男女均可

6. 婚姻状况：结婚并有孩子者优先。

7. 资金要求：加拿大移民局要求每个家庭至少有60,000元带入加拿大。

    总之，中国作为拥有世界口最多的国家，具有庞大的技术工人队伍，是加拿大极欢迎的移民群体。另一方面，加拿大工业的前景与发展空间非常广阔，对中国技术工人本身来说也是一个进一步学习，取得高薪工作的难得的发展机会，加拿大已被联合国连续六次评为最适合人类居住的国家，其高福利和社会生活保障体系都会使你受益。

    我衷心地祝愿那些抓住这个机会的中国技术工人，为自己的 将来创造更美好更安全﹑更灿烂的未来！
