Canadian employers increase wages to attract more workers As Canada is facing a shortage of workers, employers have taken the initiative to offer higher wages to attract more workers. According to the latest Statistics Canada report, the average hourly wage has risen by 7.5% since last year, amounting to $24.20 per hour. The job vacancy rate is the ratio of vacant positions to total labour demand, encompassing both filled and open positions. With job openings rising and salaries rising accordingly, it is an ideal time for those seeking new employment opportunities in Canada. #Statistics_Canada, #Wages, #employment, #unemployment, #statistics https://canadavacancy.com/wages-rising-as-canada-job-vacancies-remain-high-and-employers-look-to-attract-workers/   (at Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmesh3GOCEs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The number of full-time jobs held by immigrants increased On November 4, Statistics Canada revealed the Labour Force Survey data for October 2022. The general unemployment rate has returned to its original state after the observed increases from May-September but is still equivalent to September's 5.2%. The survey revealed that immigrants successfully secured employment and filled various labour shortages across Canada. Just over 62% of immigrant adults are employed. Furthermore, those who arrived in Canada within the last five years had an even higher employment rate of 70.7%. #Statistics_Canada, #Labour_Force_Survey, #statistics, #employment_rate   (at Winnipeg, Manitoba) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkqqUivri1s/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The number of job vacancies in Canada's healthcare sector reaches an all-time high   A recent report from Statistics Canada showed that there are more healthcare job vacancies than ever before.   In August of 2022, there were 152,000 vacant healthcare and social assistance positions.   Immigrants fill many healthcare positions in Canada. In fact, 36% of physicians and 25% of registered nurses were born outside the country.   However, it can be difficult for foreign-trained medical professionals to get the proper licensing from Canadian authorities, which makes it hard for them to find work in the healthcare system.   #Statistics_Canada, #healthcare, #nurses, #statistics   https://www.ctvnews.ca/business/labour-shortages-continue-as-quarterly-job-vacancies-reach-all-time-high-1.5718167 (at Winnipeg, Manitoba) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckg8mKgr9wt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Canada’s population reaches 39,000,000 people   With a population increase of 4,049,402 in the past decade alone, Canada is home to 38,929,902 people.   With an average birth rate of 1.49 children per woman, this growth is due mainly to immigration policies. In 2021, 23% of all Canadians were immigrants.   Twenty years from now, that number could jump to 34%.   This year, 430,000 people became permanent residents of Canada.   The most popular countries of origin for new immigrants are India, China, and the Philippines, and the top destination province is Ontario.   #Statistics_Canada, #population_growth, #Statistics, #Canadian_population (at Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkYe18KuZUi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Indian students to change Canada's educational demographic   More and more international students are coming to study in Canada, most hailing from India. In Canada, the demand for post-college credential programs (PCCs) has skyrocketed in recent years.   According to Statistics Canada's report, PCCs made up 6% of all graduations in 2014. But that number had jumped to over 13% by 2019.   The popularity of PCCs has grown in recent years due to the increase in international students at colleges. In 2019, 67% of PCC graduates were international students, with 53% coming from India.   #Statistics_Canada, #international_students, #Indian_students, #statistics (at Winnipeg, Manitoba) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkOb1OeOVHP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Immigrants to Canada and their children to dominate the Canadian population by 2041   On September 8, 2022, Statistics Canada released the “Canada in 2041: A Larger, More Diverse Population with Greater Differences Between Regions” report, projecting that immigrants and their children will increasingly account for most of Canada's population by 2041.   With the expansion of the Canadian population through immigration, visible minorities—those who are now referred to as the "racialized population" by Statistics Canada–will become increasingly apparent.   Up to almost half of all toddlers 14 years old and younger, 49.7%, could be racialized Canadians in 2041, and approximately the same proportion (47.3%) of working-age people in Canada, those aged 15 to 64 years old.   #Statistics_Canada, #population_growth, #racialized_population   (at Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiaHy-GuhBK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Canada experiences the lowest unemployment rates in its history On July 8, 2022, Statistics Canada published a new labour survey analyzing the Canadian labour market for June. According to the new report, the unemployment rate in Canada hit a new all-time low of below 5% in June. Despite a decrease of 43,000 jobs in Canada, unemployment fell by 0.2 percentage points to 4.9 percent, as fewer people were looking for employment. In five out of 10 provinces, the unemployment rate was less than 5 percent. In fact, it was as low as 4% in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. #Statistics_Canada, #unemployment_rate, #labour_Market_Survey   (at Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf3_MVVOtpE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

According to the latest Statistics Canada report, sustainable immigration flows are critical to meet the need for both high- and low-skilled employees in many sectors as businesses recover from the COVID-19 epidemic. In the long run, larger immigration volumes will be required to a certain extent to mitigate the consequences of Canada's aging population on the job market. In the years preceding the pandemic, immigrants' employment prospects significantly improved. Temporary foreign workers and international students, both of whom are increasingly transitioning to permanent residency, have become a more important source of labour supply. Although economic success among recent immigrants has increased, significant issues remain with regard to their skill use.
