Immigrants will always find jobs in Canada irrespective of the economic climate

Statistics show that future working population expectations for Canada aren’t great, but increased immigration can provide an answer.

A study conducted by Urban Futures has disclosed an essential growth in Canada’s population. In 1970, birthrates level went below 2.1 babies-per-mother replacement and never came above that ever since. At the same time, the longest life expectancies in the world are that of Canada. Due to this, the population of Canadians aged between 70 years and 89 years will become almost 6.4 million by 2035 and by the end of year 2055, about one million people are estimated to live well over their 90s.

Now, the ageing population means that there will be lesser number of people available to do jobs to keep the economy of Canada competitive, thus reducing the number of actively working people in the labor market to just 58 percent by the year 2035. Therefore, a solution to the problem is encouraging overseas workers to come and work in Canada, in addition to boosting birth rates among Canadians and increase productivity among the working ones.

It has been estimated that the numbers of Canadian immigration needs to be doubled over the next fifty years so as to build the much-needed working population to sustain the competitive GDP growth of Canada. Therefore, for all those who are willing to move to Canada, keep in mind that there will always be jobs here, irrespective of whether the economic climate is favorable or not.
