A study by researchers at Toronto Metropolitan University reveals that artificial intelligence recruitment tools may create unintended barriers for skilled immigrants in Canada. Although immigrants drive the majority of national workforce growth, many remain underemployed due to algorithmic screening systems that filter applications before human review.

These automated platforms often rely on historical hiring data that undervalues international experience and foreign credentials. Job seekers report facing immense uncertainty, which forces them to modify their resumes specifically to satisfy computer algorithms rather than human recruiters.

Experts warn that Canada must regulate these black-box technologies to ensure fair economic opportunities for newcomers.
