Express Entry immigration overhaul can only do so much if educational and societal changes aren’t made, say skills training experts

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 funneling high-skilled migrants into lower-skilled jobs if key changes aren’t made.

It’s Canada’s most direct, strategic response yet to aligning labour market needs with economic migration, says Mr. Barata, adding that it’s a promising divergence from Canada’s historically “elite approach” to economic migration requiring university education, language skills and other conditions. Still, he wonders if it’s doing enough.

“There are also a lot of immigrants that come highly skilled, foreign credentialing, and I don’t think Canada serves those different communities in the right way,” says Mr. Srinarayanathas. “It’s a real missed opportunity.” Solving education access is more straightforward than changing societal attitudes, but isn’t without pitfalls.

“But technically under that LMIA process, they’re not supposed to do anything but work so they can’t study, but they have to prep for this nursing exam so that they can get their PR,” he says.

“By the time you get to writing the test, you can show that you already have a running start, which is actually really important in accelerating integration,” says Mr. Barata. “It’s a great test case that we could probably translate into other occupations.”
