The massive addition of job vacancies is due to an acute labour shortage. Canada has more employees leaving jobs compared to taking them up. This is due to many near-retirement people occupying the job field.  Additionally, Canada's low fertility and falling birth rates have added to this. No one is available to fill the jobs that the older professionals are leaving. This is the gap in the availability of employable people in Canada. 

 

Due to COVID-19, many professionals got displaced, and mortality rates were also high. Shifting factors like age, gender and employability are also highlighted as triggers. Canadian Companies are now hiring temporary foreign workers to fill vacant jobs. They are hiring 30% of their workforce under Canada's new foreign-national worker scheme. Job vacancies are increasing compared to the number of employable Canadian citizens. Hence the country seeks eligible foreign professionals to fill the vacancies. 

 

Thus, Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) are welcoming of immigrants. They hope to fill these vacant jobs by getting immigrants to work in Canada as skilled workers.The Canadian government is taking strict measures to combat the labour shortage. The first step has been opening the job market to the whole world. 

Here are the five sectors with the most job vacancies in Canada as of November 2022:

  • Health Care and Social Help: This sector has the highest vacancies. Acute shortage of medical experts due to displacement in the pandemic is the cause. As of now, 159,500 new postsare available.
  • Accommodation and Food Services: 152,400 new jobs are available.
  • Retail Trade: This sector will grow with more job vacancies. Currently, there are 117,300 open positions.
  • Professional Scientific and Technical Services: A cumulative 61,900 job vacancies are open.
  • Manufacturing: A total of 76,000 job vacancies are available
