Canada has always been known for its openness to allow immigrants into the country mostly for work due to its small population and a large employment market that is in need of labour force. Things might have just gotten worst in the labour sector in
Canada especially in Quebec, a province in Canada. According to reports, companies are closing down not because of loss of profits, but rather because of lack of staff or labour force to keep the
business active. Quebec has the lowest unemployment rate in the country, and this has spelled doom to what should be a welcoming development. Due to its very low unemployment rate of about 5.4%, there is hardly any person to employ especially as a lot of companies have sprung up in the province over the years. An
example of one company being affected by the low unemployment ratio is Benny and co, a rotisserie chicken chain in Montreal in which according to the Chief Financial Officer, Nicolas Filiatrault has said it would be a challenge to fill up the vacant positions of up to 350 potential employees over the coming years. Another
business affected by the low unemployment rate is McDonald who have resorted to increasing their minimum wage to 13$ per hour, a move to attract employees. This might be all bad news for the companies, but it seems like good news to potential immigrants
who would love to have a work permit in Canada due to the assumption that one way of solving this problem would be to get a larger immigration force.
