Chronic Situation of Thousands and Thousands of Unfilled (Tech) Jobs In Canada: How Can This Be?

A chronic situation of thousands and thousands of unfilled (Tech) jobs In Canada. How can this be?  The sources of these ludicrous claims are never mentioned but these nefarious numbers, usually around the 50,000 mark, have now grown to a "220 000" claim (in a world of 8.5% pandemic unemployment?) just as a new and aggressive increase to immigration numbers has been announced by the Liberals. That and the always proportionately growing aging population and the pension benefits required to be paid. If these numbers are true then how has an institution, Canada's most sacred, that has attracted, recruited and allowed so many millions of entrants into Canada to address these issues, missed the mark and failed so miserably?

"...“If you look at the last five years, Toronto and Vancouver have recruited more technology workers than San Francisco, and Seattle combined.”

...“Canada has a massive deficit of talent there’s about 220,000 positions that are currently not filled in tech, because we just don’t have the domestic capacity.”
