however there are a few provinces that have less openings for welders. Here are some that have a high demand/ want for trades men/ women, more specifically welders.

Nova Scotia, PEI, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Alberta.

All have good - moderate wants for welders, while on the other hand.

North West Territories, Nunavut, Yukon, and British Columbia,

all have limited, or undetermined demand.

Nova Scotia, Newfound Land, Prince Edward Island, and Alberta are all places in high demand of welders, making It easier to get the job as there isn't much competition.

Oftentimes it can be hard to get into the job you want if employers don't have a need (demand) for that worker, so applying to the job you want in an area with high demand, boosts

Why am I a good match?

Personally I've always wanted to be a welder because I like creating then constructing things, I also like getting dirty, having reliability and freedom when it comes to creativity.

I specifically have interest in fabrication/ production welding, which is making an object or contraption from raw materials to serve some sort of benefit.
