Low Immigrant Unemployment Rates Recorded In Canada

For immigrants, moving to a new country is a pretty big task. It means having to deal with all the uncertainties that come with being in a new place. They have to deal with a new culture, new people, new places, and a whole lot more of new experiences that are far different from what they have grown up with. One of the things that worry immigrants when they get to a new place is if there would be enough job opportunities for them there.

Many immigrants actually try and move to a new country because they are not satisfied with things happening in their own country. For example, someone may go to a new country to find better job opportunities and help bring home the bacon for his or her family. That is why, in Canada, immigrants are definitely happy to know that the country has been able to record really low unemployment rates for immigrants. This means that there are plenty of opportunities for those who are planning on venturing as an immigrant in the country.

Immigrants and the labor market

Statistics Canada, the branch of the Canadian government that deals with data and such, has new information based on data that they have acquired. According to them, the labor market in Canada is now getting more and more immigrants there. And those immigrants are getting employed in the country. In fact, it seems like the total percentage of immigrants in the labor market is continuing to rise. More and more employers are also going with immigrants as well as local workers in terms of employees.

The report has been released just last 24th of December by Statistics Canada. According to that report, the level of unemployment in the country in terms of immigrant employment has been going down. In fact, the lowest level that has been recorded is this one. The lowest rate of unemployment among immigrants has been last recorded back in 2006. This one is the newest and lowest number so far. This is also a good thing as it means that opportunities are opening up more and more in Canada and the locals and the immigrants are benefiting from this.

The numbers of unemployment for immigrants

A year ago, Canada has been able to note an unemployment rate for immigrants in the country at around 6.4%. This is only for all of those immigrants in the country who are of legal age for working. This is a really low number and a good one at that. It is also quite interesting to note that for the locals, the unemployment rate for the same period has fallen to just around 5%. This definitely shows that unemployment in Canada is pretty low and immigrants and locals surely are quite lucky to be living here.
