Why is Canada Seeing a Rise of 874700 Job Vacancies in 2022?

Canada is facing a major crisis in filling its empty job positions. As per Statistics Canada the country is seeing a 72% rise in Canada job vacancies since the same time last year.


Such a huge rise is calculated at 8,74,500 empty job positions in Canada.
The above data is referenced from statistics Canada which is Canada’s statistical body. It offers data regarding the country’s crucial matters to the general public. And shares data related to the economy. population, culture, income graphs, unemployment rate etc.


The reason Why is Canada seeing a rise of 874700 job vacancies in 2022 can be understood from the data available. As a reader you can easily see the following:

  • By the 4th quarter of 2021, Canada was trying to fill up to 915,500 job vacancies across all sectors.
  • In comparison, this is higher by 80% for 2019 and 63.4% for 2020 data.
  • Also, there is barely any change in the job vacancies scenario all over Canada.
    • Nova Scotia – job vacancies up by 11.9% (20,300).
    • Manitoba – job vacancies up by 5.9% (25,800).
    • Prince Edward Island – job vacancies up by 87.1% 
    • Quebec – job vacancies up by 87.9%
    • Alberta – job vacancies up by 89%
    • Saskatchewan – job vacancies up by 90.1%
  • However, slow job filing sectors were:
    • Healthcare
    • Social assistance
    • Retail trade
    • Professional services
    • Scientific services
    • Technical services
    • Administrative
    • Waste management
    • Remediation services
    • Other services
  • Further, top sector(s) seeing a rise in job vacancies:
    • Hospitality
    • Tech worker
    • Lodging and food services
    • Transportation and warehousing industry
    • Construction

Hospitality sector job vacancies reach the highest. Canadian employers desperately seeking skilled talent.

After knowing the above statistics we know why is Canada seeing a rise of 874700 job vacancies in 2022. But we must highlight that the hospitality sector is the most affected area out of all. Even though Canadian employers are all set and ready select workers in bulk. But are not able to get any Canadian citizen or permanent resident to do. Such is the huge demand in Canada’s hospitality sector jobs.

As a result, this is a great time for skilled foreign workers to make the most of the current crisis. Because Canadian employers are dying to hire skilled workers in the following areas:

  • Chefs
  • Cooks
  • Bakers
  • Butchers
  • Patisserie chefs
  • Food counter attendants
  • Kitchen helpers
  • Food & beverage servers
  • Foodservice supervisors


The rise in job vacancies in Canada’s hospitality sector is due to the after-effects of the pandemic. Despite Canada trying to overcome the effects of covid by creating immigration pathways/policies to fast-track visa processing. And is still looking for new ways to do the same. As for the labour market despite all efforts, Canadian employers are not able to fill job vacancies due to a lack of skilled talent in the country.

As a result, all employers are looking forward to hiring foreign talent. Besides, we can see the effect of the same on existing immigration draw results. Because provinces/territories and Canada on a whole is alongside general draws is also targeting specific occupations where the demand is super high. 

So, there is a rise in the approval of visa applications related to chefs/cooks and other hospitality sector profiles.
