A commenter on my recent Brunswick News column wondered if the million people that came to Canada this year had the skills the country is looking for - he particularly was interested in the construction trades. It’s a good question. First, the data below relates to permanent resident admissions only and uses the PR admissions data by intended occupation data published by IRCC. I do not analyze here students and temporary workers because they are not permanent residents. Many would like to be and many will try but the permanent population - based on IRCC PR admission data - rose by 434,360 permanent residents between Jan-November 2023. New Brunswick admitted 10,225 between Jan-Nov 2023.
