In a groundbreaking analysis of Canada‘s labour market dynamics, recent data reveals the transformative impact of immigration across multiple sectors of the economy. Immigrants constitute 25% of healthcare workers, 35% of truck drivers, and over 50% of food service business owners, and they are proving instrumental in addressing critical workforce shortages. As Canada grapples with an aging population and increasing retirement rates, particularly in healthcare, where 420,000 workers are expected to retire within a decade, immigration remains vital for maintaining economic stability and fostering growth across the nation’s diverse industries.
