Canada may be the second-largest country in the world, but it's also the least populous country. At the same time, Canada is facing a crisis of an aging workforce and a shortage of skilled workers to fill the gaps. By the end of 2017, Canada had almost 400,000 unfulfilled positions due to the lack of skilled workers and fast economic growth, which is also the highest number of unfulfilled jobs in the private sector ever recorded in Canada.
