Why Canada’s Labour Market Doesn’t Work

The skills mismatch that is set to become a national crisis

Critical skills shortages mean Canadian “companies are scrambling to find the skilled workers they need to survive and expand,” stated Maclean’s 2014, Guide to Jobs in Canada.

Moreover, the Government’s human resources department projected skilled jobs vacancies in Canada would be 1.5 million in 2016, and then, over the next five years, rising to 2.6 million.

Canada seeks experienced skilled tradespeople, engineers and health care workers to meet this growing demand, Canada is building responsive federal and provincial immigration programs.

The provinces experiencing the greatest need are British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

Baby Boomers to RetireWith an aging

population and a generation of baby boomers set to retire, Canada will need more healthcare workers and other skilled workers to fill the employment gap. Skill shortages are expected to get worse as this generation retires.

The Skills Mismatch

While overqualified baristas serve coffee, apprenticeship programs in Canada have declined resulting in shortages of qualified workers.

In the past, the public’s outdated perception of the trades has affected enrollment in apprenticeship programs, contributing towards skills shortages. Retiring workers are expected to exacerbate the apprenticeship crisis, resulting in a shortage of experienced journeymen to train the next generation.

Also many of the acute labour shortages in Canada are in the country’s wilderness areas, away from metropolitan centers.

Filling the Gap

A key strategy in meeting the skills shortages will be International recruitment through Temporary Foreign Worker Program and economic skilled Federal and Provincial programs.

Miho and her team were key to getting my wife’s Permanent Residence as quickly and smoothly as we did. She helped us through several unique challenges, both before we left Japan to move back to Vancouver, and after. All the while Miho made us feel safe and supported. The value for money is something I wondered about at first, but I was genuinely impressed with just how much Miho helped us simplify the process. Despite some delays with the immigration processing center that were outside of our control, Miho was instrumental in assisting us get my wife’s PR ahead of the estimated timeframe. Miho came highly recommended to us, and my wife and I would highly recommend CIP anyone looking for immigration assistance.

I’m so grateful that I found CIP. Miho and Stephanie are absolutely amazing. They’re so efficient and professional, and made the processes for both my work permit and PR so smooth. I don’t know what I would have done without them. I would highly recommend them!

Immigration was a long journey for me but I couldn't imagine how it would have been without the help of Matthew, Stephanie and Miho. They were the only consultants to have found me a temporary visa to solve my current issues so I could go back to work in Canada while applying for my PR. With the delays of COVID, they were very helpful and it was a huge peace of mind for me. I would definitely recommend them and use their help again in the future if needed.

Miho and Stephanie were great to deal with and kept me updated throughout my entire process. They provided clear instructions and helped with a number of the nuances of my case. I would recommend using them for any services and your permanent residency needs in the future.

コンサルタントの志水さんには、多大なるご尽力をいただき、無事永住権取得の夢が叶いました。他のコンサルタントや弁護士ではなかなか扱ってもらえない複雑な私の案件も、いつも親身になってくれて、迅速かつ丁寧な対応をしてくれました。申請者の不安な気持ちも理解してくれて、申請書類のひとつひとつにも的確にアドバイスしてくださり、どんな細かい質問にも、毎回分かりやすい説明を添えてくださいました。申請者の立場を考え、対応してくださる志水さんは、私がカナダで出会ってきたコンサルタント、弁護士の中で１番です。ここまで申請者に寄り添って、対応してくれる志水さんに出会えて、本当に感謝してます。私は友人から志水さんを紹介してもらいました。その友人にも感謝です。

I am very pleased with how professional, clear and upfront they were with my whole immigration process. Personally, I will seek them again if any other new inquiries arise as well as recommend them to anyone else looking for the best option for processing and counseling their migration journey to Canada. 11/10

My Husband's brother referred us to Miho to help me with my P.R application. Doing this without a person who knows and understands the process is extremely difficult. Miho explained to me what I needed to do and what to expect. Miho guided me double checked, kept me informed of what was going on with my file and was always there to answer my questions. Miho's right hand Stephanie was extremely thorough and always available. I thank and applaud both of you for your outstanding work, I am now a P.R of Canada.
