I think the right skilled workers is the answer. You do know that Canada’s immigration policy is skewed to “skilled workers” typically (outside of the family migration qualifications). I have met plenty of skilled immigrants who are under-employed working outside of their qualifications here for whatever reason. Employers typically prefer Canadian or US work experience for instance. We have a shortage in construction workers and that’s partly contributing to the housing shortage on the supply side of things.
What’s also been a LONG RUNNING problem in Canada is the lack of productivity gains which this article sort of mentions. It’s something prior governments couldn’t tackle, and Trudeau can’t seem to tackle either.
