Aligning Immigration with Canada’s Labour Market: The Immigration–Labour Alignment Tracker
Immigration selection plays a key role in aligning the skills and talent of immigrants with Canada’s workforce need. Using industry-level data from Vicinity Jobs 2026, the Immigration–Labour Alignment Tracker looks at immigrant arrivals vis-à-vis recent job vacancy patterns.
How aligned are current immigration selection mechanisms in filling vacancies where they are most needed? In what occupations has the greatest alignment between immigrant admissions and job vacancies been observed? Which are the least aligned? How do alignment rates vary across regions, and to what can this be attributed? What can policy-makers do to address these gaps? Read the online dashboard to get our full analysis.
