The unemployment rate rose by 0.5 percentage points in August
Although unemployment in Canada increased to 5.4 percent in August, immigrants still had a lower unemployment rate than any other August over the last 16 years. According to the new Statistics Canada report, the groups most impacted by job losses in August were young women and teenage girls, as well as seniors aged 55 to 64 years old. Although we experienced job losses in fields such as education, construction, and public services, other sectors such as the professional, science, and tech sector gained employees.

The University of Toronto evaluated the impact of the pandemic on the Canadian labour market
The University of Toronto published a new report which indicated the pandemic’s significant influence on a wide range of labour market outcomes for all workers in Canada. The adverse consequences have been particularly severe for recent immigrants compared to domestic-born individuals, who had a disproportionately lower probability of being employed and holding full-time jobs. Established immigrants also experienced similar problems. To sum up, the entire workforce felt pandemic-related consequences, but these effects were especially problematic for recent and established immigrants.
