The following are some interesting stats on the number of foreign workers in Canada from 2004 – 2014.
The first chart is for the number of foreign workers in the Temporary Foreign Worker Program from 2004 – 2014. The top four countries where the Philippines, India, the United States of America, and Mexico.
In the International Mobility Program the top 5 countries are very different. There, it is the United States of America, India, China, and France.
The data also shows that from 2004 – 2014 the number of temporary foreign workers in Canada more than doubled from 86,551 to 177,704. Almost all of this growth was in the Labour Market Impact Assessment Program, with most of it being lower-skilled foreign workers.
There was also considerable growth in the International Mobility Program, with the number of work permit holders going from 110,525 to 390,273 during the period from 2004 – 2014. Much of the growth came from the introduction of the Post-Graduate Work Permit Program, International Experience Canada, and C-10 applications.
