The employment rates of landed immigrants from Africa and Asia are the highest in Canada:

Date:

Recent statistics from Canada highlight the employment trends among landed immigrants from different regions. The reports reveal that immigrants from Africa and Asia, on average, exhibit the highest employment rates compared to those from other nations. This study focused on immigrants aged 15 and above in Canada. The employment rates for various newcomer groups in 2023 were as follows:

  • Africa: 67.7% employment
  • Asia: 66.3% employment
  • Latin America: 66.0% employment
  • North America: 56.6% employment
  • Europe: 56.6% employment

However, when analysing the employment rates specifically for the age group of 25–54, the results showed a different trend. The employment rates by region for this age group were:

  • Europe: 88.3% employment
  • Latin America: 82.8% employment
  • North America: 82.7% employment
  • Asia: 81.7% employment
  • Africa: 79.8% employment

The national average employment rate for this cohort stood at 82.6%. Notably, this trend remained consistent across genders. The dataset seemed limited in providing data on female employment rates. Moreover, the results among males showcased North America switching positions, with Latin America ranked second and third, respectively.

Canada’s workforce significantly relies on foreign workers, as evident from the presence of 797,225 valid work permit holders as of December 2022. Over the past decade, there has been a notable 108% surge in temporary foreign workers, emphasising their crucial contribution to Canada’s labour force.

Moreover, Canada has experienced substantial growth in its international student population, estimated to be in the millions in 2023. These international students play a vital role akin to the workforce, contributing significantly to Canada’s economy and societal fabric.
