Introduction
For many people born outside the U.S., the employment-based immigration process
is an ideal route to obtaining a green card and permanent residence here. Not only

can the employment-based process take significantly less time

than family-based immigration, employers willing to sponsor
foreign nationals often have access to financial, legal, and other
resources that can smooth the way toward a succesful
immigration application.

Canada
In Canada, foreign nationals are
accepted into Canada on a temporary
basis for a number of reasons,
including student visas, refugee
claims, or under special permits.
The largest category however is called
the Temporary Foreign Worker
Program (TFWP), under which workers
are brought to Canada by their
employers for specific jobs. In 2006,
there were a total of 265,000 foreign
workers in Canada. Amongst those of
working age, there was a 118%
increase from 1996. By 2008, the intake
of non-permanent immigrants (399,523,
the majority of whom are TFWs), had
overtaken the intake of permanent
immigrants

United States
Green card workers are individuals who have
requested and received legal permanent
residence in the United States and who intend
to work in the United States on a permanent
basis via a guest worker program.

Although there have been disagreements over

immigration in the broader sense (the current
system facilitated with green cards). Most
controversy in the United States since 1990
has been in regard to "guest workers" both
legal and illegal.

In recent years in the United States, there has

been much controversy over whether H-1B
visas, intended to bring highly skilled workers
to fill gaps in the domestic labor pool, are
instead being used to bring in skilled, but

the immigration process.

Conclusion
That said, the U.S. government is fully aware of the high demand for
permanent residence status, and doesn't make it easy. With the U.S. job
market and the countrys needs in mind, Congress created various visa
preference categories, which prioritize certain jobs and careers over others
in deciding who will be allowed to apply for permanent residence.
This means that certain types of jobs and careers have a better (and faster)
chance at being a good basis for a green card application. Let us look at
how the preference categories work and see what jobs might be better for
earning you a green card.
