Talent shortages are causing more Canadian businesses to look at newcomers as a badly needed source of labour – but some say the strategy may replicate past problems with funnelling high-skilled migrants into lower-skilled jobs if key changes aren’t made.
By mid-October, IRCC had issued nearly 90,000 invitations to apply for Express Entry permanent residency in 2023 – almost double the 45,115 candidates invited in 2022. On attitude, Canada has long looked at immigration through the lens of the perceived refugee experience – one of desperation, survival and struggle, says Muraly Srinarayanathas, co-founder and chairman of Computek College, a private career college in southern Ontario offering training in higher-skilled areas like business, technology and health care to newcomers as well as second- and third-generation immigrants.
Mr. Srinarayanathas says for certain skills, like nursing, newcomers can start applying from their home country and then write their exam in Canada to get the credentials or designations necessary.“Some of our personal support workers that graduate from the program interested in going into nursing get advanced standing at community colleges that run these nursing programs,” Mr. Srinarayanathas explains.
