Canada Relies On Immigration As It Continues To Have Over 1,000,000 Job Vacancies

The monthly payroll employment, earnings, hours, and job vacancy report for June 2022 indicates Canada had over one million job vacancies in May 2022.

Job vacancies in Canada are up 3.2% over the last month (between May and June 2022), with 32,200 more jobs available across the country.

“The unemployment-to-job-vacancy ratio reached a record low of 1.0 in June, meaning that there was one unemployed person for each vacant job.” However, as unemployment continues to decrease all over Canada, job vacancies rise across the country. 

Read along with Canada’s plan for increasing immigration, Canadian businesses are now dependent heavily on skilled immigrants to fulfill increasing job vacancies across industries. 

The government of Canada is supporting businesses by aiming to invite its largest-ever number of prospective permanent residents between now and 2024.
