A large number of local as well as international workers are relocating so that they can be a part of the rising industrial sector. It is because of this reason that other areas of construction jobs in Canada are experiencing a shortage of skilled professionals. This attracted the foreign workers and they came to Canada looking for opportunity. In order to be a part of the oil sands boom, Fly-in-fly-out (FIFO) workers from all over the world came to Fort McMurray. The shortage of labor became worse, as employers in Toronto and Vancouver were losing their employees to the industrial sector and were looking for international workers to come and join them.
The Canadian companies that organize international recruitment could see this increased demand as there was shortage of skills across all construction. Employers got the permission to bring international workers, as the local supply of labor failed to meet their demand. There was a surge in the construction of gas and oil plants because of high prices of oil. In the resource sector, local Canadians were moving towards getting higher paid roles and this is what leads to the demand for foreign workers to fill their gaps in Canada.
