Foreign skilled worker

Foreign skilled worker demand has risen this year for Canadian employers

Work in Canada / By

Western Canadian employers seeking Foreign skilled workers have seen a significant rise this year, with a 39% increase in LMIA applications nationwide and 83% in Western Canada.  Yukon is the sole exception, with a slight decrease. Nunavut had the highest application growth, followed by Northwest Territories, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. LMIA processing times are slow, with Alberta having the longest. This is because fewer applications are in priority processing streams.  Efforts have been made to modernize the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, including distributing files across the national network, moving away from paper applications, and simplifying applications for compliant employers through the Recognized Employer Pilot. The Recognized Employer Pilot The Recognized Employer Pilot (REP) is a two-phase, three-year pilot project. Applications for positions on the Phase 1 REP occupations list will be accepted starting September 12, 2023. Phase 2 applications will be accepted beginning in January 2024. The phase you apply for will be determined by the position you are attempting to fill. The REP provides a streamlined process for employers who: Access the TFWP regularly to fill positions in high-demand fields from the REP occupations list, and  meet the highest standards for working and living conditions and worker protection. Phase 1 REP occupations are: NOC 85100 Livestock laborers NOC 85101 Harvesting labourers NOC 84120 Specialized livestock workers and farm machinery operators NOC 85103 Nursery and greenhouse labourers These occupations have been determined to be in high demand and to have a shortage of domestic labor. Labor Market Assessment (LMIA) A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that a Canadian employer may require before hiring a foreign worker. A positive LMIA will demonstrate the need for a foreign worker to fill the position. It will also demonstrate that no Canadian citizen or permanent resident is available for the position. A positive LMIA is also known as a confirmation letter. Once the LMIA is obtained by the employer, the worker can apply for a work permit.

Canadian work permit

Canadian Work Permits for African Visitors – The Truth Unveiled

Visit Canada, Work in Canada / By

The real story exposed about the Canadian work permits for African visitors. Canada is known for its welcoming approach to immigrants and visitors alike, but it’s crucial to be wary of misinformation circulating, especially when it comes to obtaining work permits. There have been rumors suggesting that African individuals can secure a Canada work permit while on a Visitor visa, but it’s essential to debunk this misconception and understand the legitimate process for obtaining a work permit. Dispelling the Myth: Job Offer Requirement: One of the primary falsehoods is the claim that individuals can acquire a work permit without a valid job offer. In reality, a legitimate job offer from a Canadian employer is a crucial requirement for obtaining a work permit. Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) Necessity: A key aspect of a valid job offer is the requirement for the employer to possess a valid Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). An LMIA is a document that demonstrates there is a need for a foreign worker to fill the job, as it couldn’t be filled by a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. No Need to be in Canada for a Valid LMIA Job Offer: Contrary to misleading information, individuals do not need to be physically present in Canada to secure a valid job offer with an LMIA. The process involves the Canadian employer obtaining the LMIA, which can be done while the potential employee is still in their home country. Applying for a Work Permit from Outside Canada: Once a valid job offer with an LMIA is secured, the next step is to apply for a work permit from outside Canada. It’s crucial to follow the proper application process and submit all required documents to the immigration authorities. Beware of Scams: Misinformation can lead to individuals falling victim to scams. It’s important to be cautious of offers or services that claim to provide work permits without a valid job offer or the necessary documentation. Finally, it is imperative to dispel the false claims circulating about obtaining Canadian work permits for African visitors. The legitimate process involves securing a valid job offer from a Canadian employer with a valid LMIA, and individuals do not need to be physically present in Canada to achieve this. Being aware of the correct procedures can help individuals avoid potential scams and make informed decisions about their immigration plans. Always rely on official sources and consult with immigration experts for accurate information on obtaining work permits in Canada.

Ontario's labor force growth

Immigrants drive Ontario’s labor force growth

Ontario, Work in Canada / By

The Financial Accountability Office of Ontario (FAO) report highlights that international immigrants increasingly drive Ontario’s labor force growth. Based on 2021 Statistics Canada data, the study focuses on immigrants with permanent residence status in Canada. With immigration to Ontario reaching 227,424 in 2022, these new residents play a “significant role” in Ontario’s economic growth.  The report reveals that despite a decrease in numbers in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19, Ontario welcomed many newcomers in 2022 due to increased border restrictions and higher immigration targets. The province’s share of immigrants to Canada has increased to 42.5% this year. Despite fluctuations, immigrants account for a growing share of the province’s labor force growth, constituting 39% from 2007-2014 and 63% from 2015-2022. This report provides information on long-term trends in the labor market of international immigrants in Ontario. The scope of this report is limited to international immigrants (also known as immigrants in this report), which include economic immigrants, family-sponsored immigrants, refugees, and other immigrants. This report’s analysis excludes interprovincial migrants and non-permanent residents like temporary foreign workers and international students. The percentage of immigrants in the core working age group (25-54 years) has increased from 43.7 percent of those who arrived in the 1980s to 62.3 percent of those who arrived between 2016 and 2022. Immigrants are younger in age than the rest of the Ontario population. From 2016 to 2022, 92.0 percent of immigrants were under the age of 54, compared to 69.0 percent of the total population. Policy changes have resulted in a greater percentage of recent core working-age immigrants having postsecondary education credentials (80.0%) and Canadian work and/or study experience (38.5%) compared to long-established immigrants (66.7%) and 5.4%, respectively.

New truck drivers

Canada has a current demand for 20,000 New truck drivers

Work in Canada / By

Canada’s trucking industry needs at least 20,000 new truck drivers, a shortage that poses a risk to the economy due to the country’s dependence on trucking. Food, Health & Consumer Products of Canada report states that the shortage became critical during the pandemic as some drivers left and demand increased.  With a third of current drivers nearing retirement, the labor gap could reach 30,000 if recruitment doesn’t improve. This issue is nationwide, with provinces like Ontario needing 6,100 drivers. According to the report, factors such as an aging workforce, demographics, and driver pay contribute to the shortage.  The industry must appeal to the youth to combat this, with Trucking Canada launching a major PR effort and the Choose to Truck social media campaign. “Without taking any actions to improve the current situation, the truck driver shortage in Canada will further worsen as the workforce ages and insufficient interest in the profession fails to bridge the growing gap in the number of available truck drivers,” according to the report released by PwC. In 2024, Canadian workers expect a 3.6% pay increase According to a financial consulting firm, Normandin Beaudry study, Canadian workers may expect an average salary hike of 3.6% next year. The survey also indicates that 43% of businesses are considering an extra 1% average salary increase. Industries may witness above-average pay rises including:  STEM,  Real Estate,  Manufacturing, and  Accommodation and Food Services.  In addition, Quebec, Yukon, Ontario, and British Columbia are predicted to experience salary growth in line with or exceeding the national average, while the rest may receive slightly less. These pay raises and Canada’s top-notch quality of life make it a desirable location for potential newcomers. Results of the annual salary increase survey were made public by the Canadian financial management consulting firm on Tuesday. A survey conducted among over 700 organizations revealed that except for salary freezes, employers plan to increase employee wages by an average of 3.6% in 2024. The consulting firm notes that only 2 percent of businesses anticipate freezing salaries for the upcoming year, which is a similar decline from the 3 to 5 percent average of wage freezes prior to the pandemic.

PGWP extension in 2024

International students in Canada hope for a PGWP extension in 2024

Study in Canada, Work in Canada / By

International students in Canada hope for a PGWP extension in 2024, given the limited options for permanent residency. By mid-2023, Canada had approximately 2.2 million temporary residents, with over 1 million holding work permits – which has almost doubled in a year.  The PGWP, typically a one-time issuance, was temporarily extended during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a recent extension granting an additional 18 months for permits expiring by December 2023. Previously, students relied on the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) category of the Express Entry system for permanent residency, but the absence of CEC-specific rounds has led to heightened competition. Now, students remain optimistic about a PGWP extension. For more information please connect with an Immigration Consultant. Canada expanded PGWP distance learning measures On September 1, 2023, the Government of Canada extended measures allowing international students using the PGWP distance learning option to pursue their higher education in Canada to be eligible for the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP).  The measures introduced on October 6, 2022, and set to expire on August 31, 2023, have been extended to December 31, 2023.  Students who start their online study program between September 1, 2022, and December 31, 2023, will be able to count the time spent studying online outside of Canada until December 31, 2023, toward the overall length of the PGWP if it does not exceed 50% of the program. About the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) Students who have graduated from eligible Canadian designated learning institutions (DLIs) are eligible for the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) Program, which enables them to get an open work permit while acquiring valuable Canadian work experience. Graduates can become eligible for permanent residence in Canada through the Canadian experience class in Express Entry by collecting skilled Canadian work experience in TEER categories 0, 1, or 3 through the PGWP Program. For international students who want to live and work in Canada after completing their program of study, a PGWP is an open work permit. PGWP holders are permitted to work for nearly any employer in Canada because it is an open work permit. The duration of the PGWP could last up to three years, depending on the length of the study program.

Canada immigration target

Canada Immigration targets stabilizing to support sustainable growth

Work in Canada / By

Canada Immigration is crucial for Canada’s growth, with about 23% of the population being immigrants, the highest among the G7. The 2024 Canada immigration target is 485,000, 1.2% of Canada’s population. Canada’s working population is declining, with the current ratio of workers to seniors at 3:1, expected to drop to 2:1.  This aging workforce leads to labor shortages, which immigration can alleviate. This will support the National Housing Strategy, which invests over $82 billion over ten years.  In addition, Canada, as a global leader in refugee resettlement, welcomed over 46,500 refugees from 80 countries last year, including 40,000 vulnerable Afghans. Canada Immigration Targets in the 2024-2026 Immigration Levels Plan The Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship, announced the 2024-2026 Immigration Levels Plan today, November 1, 2023. This plan aims to encourage economic growth while balancing pressures in areas such as housing, healthcare, and infrastructure. It charts a responsible path for long-term and stable population growth. With this Levels Plan, the Government of Canada maintains its target of 485,000 permanent residents for 2024 while also taking the final step toward reaching 500,000 in 2025. Beginning in 2026, the government will cap the number of permanent residents at 500,000, giving time for successful integration while continuing to bolster Canada’s labor market.  The government also intends to rebalance the number of temporary resident admissions over the next year to ensure that this aspect of our immigration system is also sustainable. The federal government will continue to collaborate closely with provinces and territories, employers, stakeholders, and Indigenous peoples to assist Canada in adapting to the realities of immigration-driven population growth. An Immigration System for Canada’s Future—a report that lays out a path to strengthen the immigration system for newcomers, businesses, and communities—also guides this approach. Together, these measures will keep people at the center of our immigration policy and ensure that newcomers have the resources they need to succeed in their new lives, such as settlement assistance and access to housing. The following are some of the highlights of the Immigration Levels Plan for 2024-2026: A long-term focus on economic growth, with the economic class accounting for more than 60% of permanent resident admissions by 2025. A commitment to uphold the Canadian government’s humanitarian tradition by responding to humanitarian and geopolitical crises around the world.  New and ambitious Francophone immigration targets have been established to support Francophone communities outside of Quebec. In 2024, the targets are 6% of total immigration, 7% in 2025, and 8% in 2026. This is done to strengthen Francophone communities outside of Quebec and to ensure the economic prosperity of Canada’s Francophone minority communities.

Foreign Worker Program

Ottawa continues measures under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program

Work in Canada / By

Ottawa keeps up Temporary Foreign Worker Program measures as the Canadian Government continues adapting to current labor market conditions, enabling companies in certain sectors to increase staff numbers while offering lower wages.  This move, designed to bolster employers amidst current economic challenges, extends a measure allowing a significant number of temporary foreign workers to be hired through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, effective until next year.  This program enables employers to fill up to 30% of their workforce with low-wage roles in food, wood product and furniture manufacturing, accommodation and food services, construction, hospitals, and nursing and residential care facilities. These low-wage positions can be held for up to two years. Initially due to end on October 30, this program has been extended until August 30, 2024. About the Temporary Foreign Worker Program When qualified Canadians are not available, the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) Program allows Canadian employers to hire foreign workers to fill temporary jobs. This program is governed by the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and Regulations, and it is administered in collaboration with Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) evaluates applications from employers seeking permission to hire temporary foreign workers through its Service Canada processing centers and conducts Labour Market Impact Assessments to determine the likely impact these workers would have on the Canadian labor market. The Program evaluates the impact by analyzing available labor market information for the region and occupation, employers’ recruitment and advertising efforts, wages and working conditions, labor shortages, and the transfer of skills and knowledge to Canadians.

construction workers

Ontario faces a shortage of construction workers

Work in Canada / By

Ontario’s construction sector faces a shortage of 72,000 construction workers, driven by high retirement rates and booming demand for housing and infrastructure. Over 80,000 workers are set to retire in the next decade, needing more new workers to fill their positions.  This shortage could leave about 118,900 construction positions vacant by 2033. The government is investing $3.6 million in projects to prepare 2,200 women and young people for careers in construction. Meanwhile, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation states that Canada needs 5.8 million new homes for affordable housing, but current construction rates could only supply 2.3 million units by 2030. About the Construction workers in Canada Canada, which is ranked as the fifth best country in the world to live and work in the construction industry, is becoming a more alluring choice for construction workers seeking greater job opportunities. To put it simply, in terms of funds, construction workers here earn $55,927 a year, which is the third-highest salary in the world for their industry.   Because of the country’s high rate of development—82 percent of Canadians live in small and medium-sized cities—major cities must undertake year-round construction projects for infrastructure. Over 1.4 million people are employed as a result of such high demand, which also generates about $141 billion yearly (or 7.5 percent of Canada’s gross domestic product). Just construction accounts for almost half of the country’s GDP!   Nonetheless, as the sector expands, so do the employment opportunities. In fact, there have been 50% more construction jobs in the last ten years alone. Workers in Canada anticipate a 3.6% salary raise in 2024 According to a financial consulting firm, Normandin Beaudry study, Canadian workers may expect an average salary hike of 3.6% next year. The survey also indicates that 43% of businesses are considering an extra 1% average salary increase. Industries may witness above-average pay rises including:  STEM,  Real Estate,  Manufacturing, and  Accommodation and Food Services.  In addition, Quebec, Yukon, Ontario, and British Columbia are predicted to experience salary growth in line with or exceeding the national average, while the rest may receive slightly less. These pay raises and Canada’s top-notch quality of life make it a desirable location for potential newcomers. Workers in Canada anticipate a 3.6% salary raise in 2024 About the new pilot program for construction workers in Nova Scotia The Government of Nova Scotia announced a new pilot program for construction workers to boost growth in the skilled trades and modernize the apprenticeship and trades qualification system.  Premier Tim Houston has announced measures to add 5,000 new apprentices in the next three years, increase the number of journeypersons and trades qualifiers by 1,000 annually, and raise the apprentice retention rate from 43% to 60% within five years.  The Critical Construction Worker Pilot, part of Nova Scotia’s Provincial Nominee Program, will include 21 in-demand occupations in the construction sector, focusing on residential building trades.  Join our RSS Feed    Want to know more details about “Ontario faces a shortage of construction workers” you can contact one of our immigration specialists at  Gunness & Associates.   Tel: (416) 604-2669  Email: info@test.immigrationmatters.info   Gunness & Associates has helped thousands of people successfully immigrate to Canada with their families.
