We always encourage immigration of eligible skilled workers and entrepreneurs to participate in the Canadian skill development & educational programs to contribute in the Canadian economy by fulfilling the Canadian labour shortage in various industries.

The strength of Canada’s economy is measured in part by the number of people working (known as the labour force) and paying taxes to fund our public services, such as health care. Canada’s labour force continues to grow by a small amount every year. Employers would have trouble finding enough qualified workers to fill available jobs positions without immigrants.

Temporary foreign workers

Temporary foreign workers are an important part of the Canadian workforce. They help employers meet labour needs when qualified Canadians or permanent residents aren’t available. Temporary workers support the success and growth of many industries, such as Trucking, agriculture, agri-food, health care and technology etc.

Numerous immigrants are successful entrepreneurs and create jobs for Canadians, immigrant-owned businesses improve trade ties to Canada. Immigrants often have a desire for goods from their home country, which broadens the variety of imports available to all Canadian consumers. Immigrants are also able to export more because of their networks in their home countries.

Canadian Trucking industry

The trucking industry in Canada refers to companies which are engaged in the transport of goods by truck. This includes both organizations who own and operate a private truck fleet to transport goods they produce themselves, as well as carriers who are contracted to carry goods produced by a different company. In the past few years, the industry generated almost 39.55 billion Canadian dollars from almost 63.7 million shipments. Both these figures are slightly lower than at the industry’s peak in 2014, when shipments of 63.8 million tons of cargo generated 38.7 billion in revenue.

Even though, every year 15,000 to 20,000 truck driver’s positions remains unfilled due to shortage of truck drivers in Canada. Many Truck fleet owners struggle to hire qualified long haul truck drivers to cover long-routes to America due to labour shortage. Canadian supply chain relies on truck drivers and shortage of drivers issue affects every single Canadian as the trucking industry faces a major shortage of truck drivers spanning the entire country.
