> If you list a job in Canada, as I frequently do, you will get thousands to tens of thousands of applicants. Ha. Maybe in Toronto. Out here in rural Canada, I had five people apply to the job I posted a few weeks ago. Total. Which was actually more than I expected! Last year you couldn't get a single person to apply. Curiously, none of them immigrants. I hired them all and could still use more, but it's hard finding anyone. Not that there is much surprise. The people not living where the jobs are has been an ongoing problem in Canada for decades. As a result, not having enough workers and having too many workers are both true at the same time.
