Number of temporary foreign workers in Quebec on the rise, labour minister says
is on the rise in Quebec, and the province’s labour minister says he expects the trend to continue.
Jean Boulet told a news conference Wednesday that the number of foreign workers rose to 38,500 last year from 23,300 in 2019.He told reporters in Quebec City that this “significant” increase is due to increased demand from businesses, which have to contend with an aging population and labour shortages.
While temporary foreign workers were once associated with the agriculture sector, they’re now employed in a wide variety of fields, and Boulet says he expects the need for labour to keep increasing.
