Canada remains one of the world’s most sought-after destinations for international talent. More than 620,000 international students were studying in Canada in 2021, according to data from Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada — and that number has only grown year over year.
This matters to Canada in a big way. A generation of workers is aging out of the labour market. Critical professions like health care and the skilled trades continue to experience persistent labour shortages. And misalignment in how we train workers, as well as what we train them in, is undermining labour market productivity.
Second, we’re overly dependent on international students from China and India. We need to do more to recruit students from South America, other Asian countries and francophone nations, so we can expand the talent pool and mitigate risk.
Too bad most come from a single source country which will cause a demographic imbalance. Essentially we're turning Canada into West-India.
Canada is one of the biggest liars and propagandists in the world. What industries in 🇨🇦 are short people? The RE ponzi industry is bigger than manufacturing. We have no industries and no real need for workers. We need suckers to pay all their money in rent. Immigrants = suckers
Not only that...MOST potential immigrants have no idea how BAD healthcare is in Canada and that most industries (grocery, telecom) are controlled by two companies ripping off Canadians. Not to mention a dictator is in control of Ontario. So cdnpoli onpoli Canada..not so good
Don't these people know that Canada is a genocidal country?
Your article is propaganda. This is the truth - thanks to cbcfifth.
I love living here and am grateful to be a Canadian citizen. However we have one of the worst immigration systems that I’ve seen.
Canada is free for all . Just come to Brampton. You will change your opinion .
So true! We use the bait and switch on 1000’s oftalented doctors each year
