Job vacancies in Canada are more than 80% higher than in the pre-pandemic phase. Interestingly, the unemployment rate in Canada is at a record low of 5.1%. This opens up a huge job opportunities for foreign workers to try their chances in the Canadian labor market.
Canada is facing a dual demographic shock with a rapidly aging population and a low birth rate among the locals. More than one in five working age Canadians are approaching retirement age. This impact is compounded by Canada’s low birth rate of only 1.4 children per woman.
It further strengthens the need for Canada to push immigration targets higher.
Canada recognizes offers over 100 economic immigration pathways. Express Entry is the leading federal pathway to permanent residence. The Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP) form an excellent alternative to regional immigration to Canada and later qualify for Canada PR.
Additionally, there has been a marked increase in international students obtaining permanent resident status within 10 years of arriving in Canada. Many choose to obtain a post-graduation work permit (PGWP) as a first step once they complete their studies.
