Labour Force News – September 2006
The unemployment rate rose slightly in August, up 0.1% to 6.5 %, still
among the lowest in 30 years. The pause in employment growth over the last
three months follows a period of very strong gains. So far this year,
employment is up 194,000 (+1.2%), due entirely to increases in full time.
Alberta accounts for 78,000 or 40% of all employment added in Canada since the
start of 2006, eclipsing even Ontario's gain (+68,000 and 35%) during the
first eight months of the year. This share is considerable, especially coming
from a province that accounts for only 10% of the country's working-age
population.

Canada Immigration: Canadian Permanent Residence under Provincial Nominee Programs
Canada admits approximately 150,000 economic immigrants each year. The
selection of such persons is primarily carried out by the Federal government
through Canadian visa offices abroad. With the exception of Ontario, every
province has implemented its own provincial immigration program (known as
Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP)), in order to promote immigration policies
suited to a province’s particular needs. As a result, the provinces are
receiving an increasing role in the selection of economic immigrants intending
to settle in a province. In 2005, approximately 52,000 economic immigrants
were selected by the provinces, with the Province of Quebec accounting for
approximately 40,000 of this figure. This year and for the foreseeable future,
the numbers of immigrants to be granted permanent residence under a PNP is
expected to increase.
