Sectors facing labour shortages in Canada

The Canadian labour market faces a shortage of qualified workers, especially in healthcare, technology and construction.

Government data from 2025 indicate that the country has around 500,000 open positions.

Immigration specialist Ana Medeiros, founder of Medeiros Immigration, highlights that these areas have the highest deficits.

She reinforces the need to check requirements such as certifications, language skills and, in most cases, a valid Work Permit.

According to the Job Bank platform, healthcare is currently the sector with the greatest shortage of professionals.

In-demand occupations include nurses, nursing assistants, home support workers and family physicians.

Medeiros notes that healthcare can be a safe entry path for immigration, provided candidates validate their credentials and speak English or French.

The specialist explains that Canada’s immigration programs operate similarly to selection processes.

Candidates create a profile on the official government website and receive points based on experience, age, education and language proficiency.

The Express Entry system holds periodic rounds inviting top-scoring candidates to apply for permanent residency.

Draws may be general or category-based, focusing on French proficiency, in-demand occupations or strategic sectors.

The French-language category, one of the most active in 2024 and 2025, requires a minimum CLB 7 score.

The Express Entry system includes three federal programs: Federal Skilled Worker, Federal Skilled Trades and Canadian Experience Class.

Medeiros notes that applicants living in Brazil can participate, as the entire initial process is conducted online.
