Quebec business lobby says province needs to boost immigration levels to meet labour-market needsThe group says Quebec needs about 60,000 immigrants annually — 20,000 more than the government plans on accepting in 2019 — if it hopes to reduce labour shortages across the province and spur economic growth i'd be willing to move to QC for work, my contract ends in 7 months If labour market needs are not being met at the current levels then the number of immigrants being admitted is not the issue.
