ALBERTA'S LABOUR SHORTAGE

The Canadian Labour Shortage Crisis has taken top priority to many business owners. The Alberta government projects a shortfall of over 100,000 workers in various industries between now and 2014. With an intimate knowledge of the laws and regulations related to hiring temporary foreign workers, Unison works with Human Resources & Social Development Canada (HRSDC) and Citizenship & Immigration Services Canada (CIC) to address this shortage through the recruitment and placement of temporary foreign workers in Alberta. 

A combination of world politics and advances in technology have made Alberta's North a viable source of oil. Unprecedented global rise in oil prices have made large-scale exploration and expansion projects a reality. This has created monumental spending in the Oil & Gas and Construction industries in Alberta. Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. has recently embarked on the largest construction project in Canadian history. CNRL's projected production of 800,000 barrels a day by 2017 would almost equal the current output of Argentina, Oman and Egypt (Calgary Herald). This company is just one of several major players in the oil patch that are major drivers of economic growth in Alberta and Canada

This sudden burst of spending money and initiating large-scale oil&gas projects has ultimately resulted in monumental growth in industrial, commercial and residential construction projects as well. However, the sheer volume of work has far exceeded the available manpower to complete the projects. Furthermore, wage competition and the abundance of jobs have resulted in shortages of workers in the restaurant, hospitality, food service, retail and manufacturing sectors. This in turn has created an ever increasing shortage of employees across many regions in Canada.
