Job vacancies in Canada remain stubbornly high, sitting at nearly one million open positions in September, according to Statistics Canada.
The pandemic has exacerbated the situation, with labour market shortages doubling during 2021 and 2022, according to academic research. There is a scarcity of available solutions and a plentiful supply of vacant jobs, which is a difficult recipe for hiring. Oil, mining, construction and technical services are among the sectors where talent is hard to find.
Even a recession, which some are predicting for next year, is unlikely to change the situation noticeably. Join Toronto-based John Hillen, of Workvantage International Workforce Solutions, as he walks through the process of hiring foreign workers in this free webinar.
