Future Skills
Increased government collaboration
“Unprecedented skills shortages are the No. 1 constraint on economic activity. The limits on immigration will merely
exacerbate the problem.”
David Rosenberg, chief economist at Gluskin Sheff + Associates,
Opportunities• Strategic mobility for skilled / professional workers• Trusted Employer Programs to facilitate employment
adjudication at POE• Trade agreements to support more open mobility (CETA)• International certification standards with preferred trading
partners• Fewer restrictions on short term business travel• Alignment of tax, social security, health care, financial
services• Spousal employment supports
“The changes made in recent years have placed unnecessary barriers in the way of employers who need access to highly skilled workers with international experience that is in short supply in Canada. Employers are frustrated with the current programs which are fraught with delays and red tape. We need a separate program that fast tracks high skilled
applicants and gets the best talent into Canada as quickly as possible.”
CERC Media release June, 2016
CERC Key Recommendations
• Separate stream for high skill in demand occupations• Trusted Employer Program • Create industry or sector based PR pathways for workers in industries experiencing rapid growth and high demand for skilled workers
• Expedited process for employers to obtain a LMIA without the requirement to advertise for high skilled, highly paid positions
• Improve pathways for international students and faculty• Immigration Advisory Committee

“...wants to speed up the processing of work permits for higher-skilled positions, improve protections for lower-skilled workers and to strike the right “balance” among the various recommendations from users of the program.”
