The job vacancies in Canada have been over a mark of one-million for a straight three months in June, which is still causing a nightmare for the employers looking to hire workers, benefiting the foreign nationals who are willing to migrate to Canada under the economic programs.

Job vacancies meets the unemployed individuals in Canada

The federal agency stated that, labor shortages could only be reduced if every single unemployed individual in Canada were promised a job across the country.

The unemployment-to-job-vacancy ratio reached a record low of one in June 2022 nationally with one unemployed person for each vacant job position, and the ratio was 1.9 in June 2021.

Although the unemployed workers are often not in the same province, there is an imbalance between their particular experience and skills which are required by employers.

In Quebec, British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, the labor market is particularly strict with simply insufficient unemployed individuals to fill the available jobs, even if every unemployed person there had the skills and experience for those jobs and landed a position.

Employers who are willing to hire a foreign national, can avail themselves of this international talent and labour through the two programs mentioned below:

  • Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP)
  • The International Mobility Program (IMP)
  • The Global Talent Stream (GTS), which is a part of the TFWP

The employers can also invite foreign nationals to fill up the available job positions through the Express Entry system, which receives immigration applications online.

The candidates' profiles then are ranked against each other according to a points-based system called the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). The highest-ranked candidates are considered for Invitations to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence. Those receiving an ITA must quickly submit a full application and pay processing fees within a delay of 90 days.
