Impact on Toronto:

“Strategies to link employers with immigrant talent need to be implemented if Toronto is going to become the vibrant city we want.”
— Honey Crossley, Executive Director, Working Skills Centre

Why it matters:

Strong and vibrant cities provide a wide variety of opportunities for secure, well-paid work. Safe, accessible, well-paying jobs will help attract and retain the talent pool we need for our future.

• The Toronto Region continues to earn high marks for labour attractiveness, scoring fourth out of 24 global metropolises on the Toronto Board of Trade’s Scorecard on Prosperity (behind London, Paris and Calgary).
• Immigrants were more than twice as likely to be unemployed as Canadian-born workers in the Toronto Region in 2010.
