Canadian Business Association requires solutions to address labour shortages through immigration programs

December 27, 2023

Only in the second quarter of 2019, 429,000 jobs went unfulfilled in Canada. Racer Immigration, a Canadian Immigration Consultants in Vancouver, has learned that these vacancy work opportunities hold the country’s development and businesses to strive with the skilled labour shortage.

British Columbia and Quebec are the provinces with the highest vacancy rates in the private sector corresponding to 3.9 percent. To get a better understanding, Quebec had 116,000 jobs positions unfilled and British Columbia 74,700, according to the report of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB).

When it comes to industry, the shortages are higher in the personal services industry, construction industry, hospitality sector, followed by agriculture, enterprise management, professional services, and health services around the country.

To tackle this issue, the Canadian government holds several immigration programs to help connect employers and businesses with highly skilled workers looking to immigrate to Canada. As a team of Immigration Consultants in Vancouver, the team at Racer Immigration is well prepared to advise those people who wish to work and stay in Canada through one of the immigration programs supported by Immigration, Refugee, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) such as:

  • Federal Skilled Worker Program
  • Canadian Federal Skilled Trades Class
  • Canadian Experience Class

There are also different provincial nominee programs developed for each province to support employers to find skilled workers to join their businesses and grow the economy.

Another part of the process of hiring international talents required is the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). This is a document that employers in Canada need to provide in order to demonstrate that the business has a need for a foreign worker to fill the job position that no qualified Canadians were passed up in favor of a foreign worker.

It might be daunting the process to find a program that supports your pathway as a worker to a permanent residence. The team at Racer Immigration Consultants in Vancouver know the difficult and is more than happy to advise you about the best possibilities.
