Canada: Labor shortage, Trudeau imports brains

Here, in Laval, it is a medium-sized area specializing in the sale of skis that has decided, after some hesitation, to hire employees with autism. There, in Sherbrooke, a manufacturing company of high performance yarns discovers and rents apartments for its Filipino workers, who are taken care of as soon as they step off the plane.

Everywhere in Quebec, as in the rest of Canada, HR directors are unleashing innovation and ingenuity to attract a workforce that has become very scarce. “We’re Hiring”: This sign is ubiquitous on the facades of buildings and businesses. Against this backdrop of worker shortages, the announcement by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government to bring the number of new immigrants to 500,000 annual entries in 2023, an unprecedented threshold, was welcomed by business circles.
