Employment and Social Development Canada reported that the number of professions facing shortages doubled between 2019 and 2021.

In the data released by Statistics Canada for the fourth quarter of 2022, job vacancies were divided into the Trades category, which included both wholesale trades and retail trades. The total number of job vacancies in wholesale trades was 30,930, while in retail trades, it was 108,795.

IRCC conducted a public consultation to enhance Express Entry through category-based selection. This process involved gathering feedback and suggestions from various stakeholders and the public.

When asked about using category-based selection to address labor market shortages in specific occupations or sectors, the participating stakeholders were generally supportive and provided numerous specific suggestions.

Around 16% of respondents, who primarily represented the trades, transport, and equipment operations sector, considered it to be experiencing the most significant needs among the mentioned categories.

Visa place helped me with my daughter’s sponsorship 3 years ago. Last week I contacted them for some clarification on a different matter. It was about an issue which technically was a problem of CIC’s software glitch and had nothing to do with Visa Place.
Yet Reena Sandu was assigned for my case. she helped me with enthusiasm and showed no hesitation despite me being an ex-client from 3 years ago.
I was very happy that even after 3 years of finishing business, Visa Place were respectful of their clients. Special thanks again to Reena for her enthusiasm and support.
