    The recent lockdowns and closed borders during the two years of the global pandemic created a serious labour shortage in the Canadian province of Quebec.

    Late last year, the government of Quebec disclosed a massive five-year $3.9 billion proposal to encourage more than 170K employees to enter into the job market to address the gaping labour shortage in certain specified sectors.

    The Quebec government is making the immigration process easier to encourage more foreigners to settle in Quebec, and also focusing its efforts on local residents by providing financial incentives to train for jobs in high demand sectors.

    There is no lack of labour. It's just a pay gap. My friend owns a small business and posts jobs that pay considerably above the minimum wage. He has no trouble getting people.

    Do you mean that raising the immigration cap is just a way of getting cheaper workers?
    Maybe it depends on the sector... In IT, medical professions, but also maybe as waiters etc... in some sectors there might be some shortage?
