Why does Canada accept 350,000 immigrants annually when there are no jobs?
In the year 2025, Canada intends to extend permanent residence visas to a total of 500,000 people.
There are two main reasons why Canada welcomes such a large number of immigrants:
There is a lack of available workers.
In order to ensure the viability of the elderly.
Statistics Canada reports that the number of jobless individuals to job openings has reduced from 4.5 in the first quarter of 2016 to 1.4 in the first quarter of 2022. The answer is yes; on the whole, there is a little more than one candidate to choose from for each open position.
The most severely impacted industries, including manufacturing, food services, healthcare, retail, and construction, have all reported that hiring qualified workers is a considerable difficulty.
Therefore, if you are considering immigrating to Canada and are able to provide services to these industries, the government of Canada will welcome you with open arms. That does not imply that you are certain of getting a job. You are still responsible for making your case to the hiring manager of private firms in order to be hired there.
Because there is a lack of workers, it is likely that it won’t take much persuading to get them to agree.
The elderly in Canada are able to survive thanks in large part to the country’s liberal immigration policies. The cost of caring for our growing elderly population is covered by the taxes we pay.
According to the projections made by Statistics Canada for the year 2020, there will be 3.33 persons in the age range of 25-64 for every person aged 65 and over. However, the estimates suggest that this will go down.
In a piece published by the CBC under the heading “Where your tax dollars go,” the topic of senior benefits was emphasized as the single largest expenditure incurred by the federal government.
Why does Canada expect its population to continue to drop? Could it be that people of our age have made the conscious decision to have fewer children? Shouldn’t a couple have at least three offspring in order for there to be a net increase in the population?
Of addition, the population density in Canada is four individuals per square kilometer (according to worldometer. info). Comparatively,
US is 36. India is 464.
Despite the fact that a significant portion of Canada is not designed to support human habitation, a number of undeveloped towns, cities, and rural areas in Canada are suitable for human habitation. Take for instance the town of Sudbury, which is well known (at least by name) and has a high quality of life despite having just 44 inhabitants per square kilometer of land.
Your second question may be answered with the statement that “there are no jobs for immigrants.”
Really? Do you have any statistics to back up your claim, or is it just your opinion?
Because the Labour Force Survey conducted by Statistics Canada found that the unemployment rate in Canada has decreased to 5.3% since comparable data became available in 1976, the reason for this is as follows:
According to the same set of statistics, the rate of unemployment among immigrants who arrived in Canada during the previous five years was at a level that set a new record low. At 7.2%, the adjusted unemployment rate, which takes into account those who said they were looking for work but did not really seek for it, was for the first time lower than it had been before the epidemic.
Therefore, it is estimated that 250,000 of the new immigrants would be without jobs.
Your comment may be interpreted quite differently when seen from this point of view.
It is true that there are no jobs available for immigrants.
It is clear to me that the unfavorable publications and personal accounts that you hear from the quarter million immigrants are the source of your perspective.
There is no denying that it might be difficult for immigrants to find work in Canada due to the following factors:
Insufficient prior experience in Canada
lack of access to a regional network
Inability to communicate English or French in a clear and self-assured manner
a lack of familiarity with the processes involved in conducting a search for a job in the current day
And sometimes, even an unearned feeling of • And someumes, even an unwarranted sense o entitlement
A newbie who is looking for their first job will have a difficult time finding employment for any one of these reasons.
If these 25,000 newcomers wish to make a success of themselves in Canada, they will need to adopt contemporary methods of job hunting (or anywhere else for that matter).
The majority of immigrants apply for as many jobs as they can by sending in resumes that are both generic and self-written. If an individual has been jobless for an extended period of time, this tactic nearly never yields positive results.
Then there are some who feel that just because their background and education allowed them to enter Canada, it should also allow them to enter the workforce there. These individuals have a sense of entitlement.
After they have landed, they are in for an unpleasant revelation. After that, they take the role of the victim and point the finger at racism and the employment processes in Canada. They are ignored by everyone.
Although newcomers services may be of assistance, they often provide high-level coaching rather than hand-holding services, which are what some individuals genuinely want but are unwilling to pay for.
