As per the Construction Sector Council of Canada’s recent labour market forecast for 2011-2019 approximately 320,000 workers will be required to meet new construction, retirement and mortality pressures.
Half of those requirements could be met with 163,000 new Canadian entrants, leaving 157,000 workers for the industry to “bring in from outside of Canada’s construction market” to meet demand.
The executive director of Construction Sector Council of Canada, George Gritziotis, added further -

“Recruitment, and not just apprentices, but also temporary foreign workers, women and Aboriginal workers and better utilizations of current workforce and its mentoring capacity are needed as well.”
