More Information about the Job Vacancies in Canada
According to Statistics Canada, the record of unfilled positions in May was higher than in April. From the report, the number of Canadian job openings for April was 1,001,100.
The sectors with the highest unfilled positions are the food and accommodation industries. The vacant positions for these sectors in May were 161,000 and a vacancy rate of 11.9%. The record in May made it the 13th consecutive month that restaurants and hotels have the highest percentage of vacant positions.
Canadian Visa Expert concluded that immigrants who are hoteliers, chefs or similar occupations have nothing to worry about when they immigrate to Canada. The conclusion is sound, because employers in these sectors are seriously finding it difficult to attract and keep workers.
In May, little change was recorded in unfilled positions in the transportation, retail trade, warehousing, construction and manufacturing industries.
Difficulty in Hiring Ongoing for Canadian Employers
Based on the continuous increase in job vacancies in Canada, getting workers to fill vacant positions has become more challenging for employers. Considering the number of job openings in the country, immigrants can find many jobs with ease.
