India's Envoy Highlights Canada's Need for 15 Million Workers Amid $1 Trillion Investment Plan
India's High Commissioner to Canada, Dinesh Patnaik, estimates that Canada's planned $1 trillion investment over the next decade could create demand for up to 15 million new jobs. With a current workforce of about 21 million shrinking annually by roughly 186,000 due to retirements, Canada faces challenges in meeting this labor demand. Patnaik explained that each billion dollars of investment typically generates 10,000 to 15,000 jobs, highlighting the need for increased immigration or workforce growth to fill these positions.
