    The future of Construction in Canada

    Canada, like many other developed countries, has been experiencing labour shortages in the construction industry. Skilled trades, such as electricians, plumbers, carpenters, and heavy equipment operators, have been in high demand. The aging workforce and an insufficient influx of new skilled workers contributed to these shortages.

    The Canadian government has recognized the importance of addressing labour shortages in the construction sector. Several initiatives and plans are in place to attract skilled workers and encourage immigration in these professions.
