dc.description.extractCanada, like the United States, faces a housing crisis, with 5.8 million new homes needed by 2030, according to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.1 The reasons for this are manifold. One of them is that investors are buying up housing, tripling housing costs from 2005 to 2024 while wages remain relatively stagnant, as journalist Andre Mayer has reported for cbc News.2 But another reason is that the construction industry faces a major labor shortage as the population ages and gets ready for retirement. Canada needs an estimated 500,000 additional construction workers to fulfill housing needs over the next six years according to an rbc report.3 Yet, the country has projected an immigration target of a mere 500,000 permanent residents for 2025, who would presumably work across various sectors and not solely in construction. Furthermore, about 60 percent of Canada’s permanent migration comes through the Express Entry Program, which privileges those migrants considered “skilled” (p. 41).
