Following record-setting immigration figures last year, an immigration lawyer says Canada’s system does not go far enough to fill jobs in high-demand industries.
Ksenia Tchern, a co-founder and partner at Abramovich & Tchern Immigration Lawyers, said in an interview with BNN Bloomberg on May 23 that changes to Canada’s points-based permanent residents system could improve the country's labour market.
Through Express Entry, points are allocated to applicants based on things like education, English test scores, work experience both in and outside of Canada, as well as age, Tchern said. Tchern said the employers she works with often face difficulties retaining talent from overseas as foreign workers may be hesitant to stay if their work permits are not being renewed.
This year, Trudeau’s government will look to welcome 465,000 permanent residents, surpassing the previous record-breaking year. “The country had a massive number of excess job vacancies such that the vacancy to job seeker ratio was 1.2 in 2022 . That is closer to 0.8 right now,” Orlando said.
