The Caretaker Chief Minister of Punjab, Mohsin Naqvi, and Canadian High Commissioner Leslie Scanlon, Canada have informally consented to allow more workforce from Punjab.
The informal consensus aims to open doors for Pakistani youth to explore employment opportunities in Canada.
Naqvi revealed that a formal agreement regarding the increased migration of Pakistani workers to Canada is expected to be signed later this month. The initiative is seen as a positive step to enhance economic prospects for the youth.
Beyond workforce collaboration, the meeting discussed potential partnerships in various areas, including environmental protection. Addressing Lahore’s pollution concerns, the discussions explored avenues for cooperation in mitigating environmental challenges.
A Punjab government delegation is set to visit Canada for the formal signing of the agreement later this month, marking a significant move towards strengthening ties between the two regions.
