Immigrants Hold More and More Jobs in Canada

According to the Canadian government, 261,000 more jobs were being held by immigrants in Canada during May 2016 than in May 2015.

In fact, of every five people in Canada, one is an immigrant, and of every four people who have jobs in Canada, one is a foreign national.

Canadian Visa Expert provides immigration services to help people get moved to Canada to join the workforce there.

Many Canadian workers are retiring from their jobs, and it is anticipated that foreign nationals will fill more and more jobs in Canada.

In fact, some experts believe that the “tipping point” in Canada has already been reached and more skilled foreign nationals will be needed in the very near future to fill those job positions.

It is important to the Canadian government that their economy continues to grow and this has resulted in the creation of several immigration programs to attract people to Canada from other countries.
