Strengthen Canadian Business
Employers across Canada are facing shortages of qualified management professionals, in part due to an aging population and high rates of retirement
Canada's small to medium sized businesses (SME) comprise over 97% of independent business, and in 2005, SMEs employed 64% of private sector employees. These employers struggle to fill management and key technical positions, yet the talents they need may already be available within their organizations.
To fill the positions left by the retiring workforce, employers usually groom younger employees, who have traditionally been Canadian-born or from Europe or North America. These people are fewer in number than ever, which means business will rely increasingly on skilled immigrants to fill the void.
