The report found a 3.8% hike in job vacancies within Canada across all major sectors – Healthcare and Social Assistance, Accommodation, and Food Services, Retail Trade, Professional Scientific and Technical Services, Manufacturing – compared to the previous August report. 

Payroll employment increased nationally by 0.5% in September, with the largest gains in Quebec, British Columbia, and Alberta. Additionally, two immigration-friendly provinces, Ontario and Saskatchewan added the highest number of 400,000 new jobs during the period. 

Payroll employment in Canada does not include self-employed, professional practices, or owners and partners of unincorporated businesses. Therefore, it indicates more hiring of eligible candidates and it is coinciding with increased economic-class immigration targets for 2023 in Canada.
