Employers struggle to recruit qualified workers for specific roles. This shortage may stem from a lack of available personnel with the required skills or from missing specialized competencies.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p>For example, in the healthcare sector, demand exceeds supply due to a lack of personnel.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-prioritaires\"><strong>Priority sectors<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p>Priority sectors are those deemed essential by provincial or federal governments.

Through the agricultural stream, employers can hire temporary foreign workers, regardless of nationality, for up to 24 months.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-les-secteurs-qui-ont-un-grand-besoin-de-travailleurs-etrangers\"><h3>Sectors with high demand for foreign workers<\/h3><\/h3>\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p>In 2021, according to Statistics Canada, about 4% of workers were temporary foreign workers. They held nearly 1 in 5 jobs in agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting. They also played key roles in transportation, warehousing, retail, and manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p>From 2021 to 2023, 109 occupations showed significant or moderate signs of shortage.

According to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), in November 2024, the healthcare and social assistance sector had the highest job vacancy rate, nearly a quarter of all vacancies in Quebec. The aging population increases demand for healthcare and infrastructure, such as senior residences.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p>Technology is a pillar of Canada\u2019s economy, encompassing fields like AI, cybersecurity, software, and IT.
