Associations, Government, LabourOntario’s economic growth and prosperity depend on attracting skilled workers from around the world who can help build up our province for the future.
The first immigration reform to address the skilled labour shortage in the construction industry is the expansion of the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program . Under the new provincial-federal immigration agreement, Ontario will double the number of economic immigrants it welcomes to the province to over 18,000 in 2025.
Considering the projected volume of work, industry will need to hire, train and retain almost 100,000 additional workers by the end of the decade. Under the expanded program, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada is doubling its scope to 1,000 out-of-status construction workers in the GTA. The expansion will help to address the current labour shortage in the construction industry by providing a pathway for out-of-status workers to obtain permanent residency and continue working in the industry.
