Bank of Canada governor Tiff Macklem called for an increase in immigration to compensate for the labour shortage that has caused many job vacancies across the country.
At a Conference on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Economics, Finance and Central Banking in Ottawa, he warned against further interest rate hikes unless more workers could be found.
He pointed out that due to the persistent labour shortage, businesses have been unable to meet consumer demands.
With job vacancies at an all-time high and companies citing a widespread lack of personnel, it is evident that the Canadian economy has reached overheating levels.
As production struggles to keep up with insatiable customer demand, prices are bound to increase accordingly.

On December 13, 2022, Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), revealed a new investment to help broaden Canada's Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP) for skilled refugees.
For the upcoming years, this move aims to link employers and local communities across the country to increase the pilot project's reach and invite 2,000 competent refugees into the Canadian workforce.
These roles are geared towards highly sought-after industries such as healthcare services or information technology.
Moreover, Canada is allocating $6.2 million to support 6 ventures of EMPP partner organizations.
These projects will fortify their capabilities across crucial areas, including locating appropriate overseas candidates and assisting job seekers and employers during the interview and recruitment process and immigration procedures.
