The effects of an aging population, a declining birth rate and the global competition for talent are having a profound impact on the Canadian labour market. By 2011, it is projected that immigrants will account for 100% of net labour growth in Canada.
Even in today's challenging economic climate, highly trained individuals with specialized skill sets remain in demand. Internationally trained individuals can provide your company the competitive edge it needs to expand into new global markets and new ethno-cultural markets domestically.
Your company's ability to recruit and retain international talent is more important than ever. London Region employers must be ready to compete with larger metropolitan centres, other provinces and countries to attract skilled immigrants.
