Labour Shortages: The construction industry in Canada faces ongoing labour shortages, particularly in skilled trades such as carpenters, electricians, welders, and heavy equipment operators. These shortages are exacerbated by the aging workforce and the increase in infrastructure projects.
High Number of LMIA Applications: The construction industry is one of the top sectors applying for LMIAs, especially in provinces with high levels of construction activity like Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario.
Western Canada: Provinces like Alberta and British Columbia have seen significant construction activity, particularly in the oil and gas sectors and urban development. This has led to a higher demand for TFWs in construction-related roles.
Regulatory Compliance: Construction companies must navigate a complex regulatory environment when hiring TFWs, ensuring they meet LMIA requirements and adhere to wage and working condition standards.
Impact of COVID-19: The pandemic caused disruptions in the construction industry, leading to delays in projects and challenges in the recruitment of both domestic and foreign workers. However, the industry has seen a recovery, with a renewed demand for TFWs as construction activity picks up.
High-Demand Provinces: Alberta, Ontario, and British Columbia are the leading provinces for TFW hires in construction, driven by large-scale infrastructure projects, urban development, and resource extraction industries.
Sustained Demand: The demand for TFWs in the construction industry is expected to remain strong, particularly in regions with high levels of construction activity and ongoing infrastructure projects.
The submission process for your employees work permits is crucial—precision is essential. Any setbacks could significantly impact you, but they are preventable.
