Employment opportunities stay high, along with average hourly wages in Canada rises.

Statistics Canada's job vacancy report for the quarter of reflects a year-long trend. Employers in Canada continue to experience labour shortages, with nearly a million (959,600) job openings.
A position is considered vacant if and only if the following conditions are met:
There is a particular position available; employment might begin within the next 30 days; and the employer is actively seeking people from outside the business to fill the role.
Though the number of available positions is down 3.3% from the all-time high of 993,200 at the start of the last year, the demand for labour remains robust. In Canada, there were 1.1 people for every job opening.
As organizations seek to attract more workers, average wages rise.
In response to a competitive labor market and greater difficulties in hiring, several organizations have sought to boost the offered pay of open positions.

In comparison to the same quarter last year, the average hourly salary offered grew by 7.5% to $24.20 per hour.
Some in-demand occupation categories saw wage gains that above the national average, including:

• Middle management in the trades, transportation, manufacturing, and utilities (+10.8% to $41.40 an hour);
• helping professions in health care services (+10.7% to $22.45 an hour);
• assemblers in manufacturing (+10.4% to 20.05 an hour);
• and operators of processing and manufacturing machines and related manufacturing workers (+10.2% to $20.02 an hour).

During the same time period, the average hourly salary for all workers increased by 5.3%.
In Express Entry history, Canada holds the first Federal Skilled Workers-only draw. A total of 3,300 Express Entry applicants were invited to apply for permanent residency by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). The cut-off score for the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) was 489. This was the second program-specific draw of 2023, after the results on February 1st, when only PNP applicants were invited.
As Canada attempts to alleviate labour shortages, immigration becomes a top priority for the government. The Express Entry system of programs are expected to observe a trend of targeted draws for in-demand occupations in Canada by 2023.
