Unions and Wages in Canada

Unions and Wages in Canada | CanadaImmigrants.com



In September 2013, the median weekly wage of a unionized worker with a permanent job was $990 or 1.32 times that of a non-unionized employee ($750); 1.3 times that of a unionized temporary worker ($730) and 2.25 times that of a non-unionized temporary worker ($440).

In Canada, unionized workers tend to have higher wages than non-unionized workers. In fact, monthly data shows that from May 1997 to September 2013, among permanent workers, unionized workers had a higher median weekly wage (ranging from 1.27 to 1.44 times) than those who didn’t belong to a union. A similar trend is observed among temporary employees; when they belonged to a union, their median weekly wage was 1.60 to 2.37 times that of non-unionized employees. This divide was even higher when comparing the median weekly wage for a unionized permanent worker, which was 2.1 to 3.23 times that of a non-unionized temporary worker during the same period. There is, however, a striking similarity between the trends of the median wage of a non-unionized permanent employee and that of a unionized worker with temporary employment, which could be the result of the bargaining power that unions have.

Now, looking at provincial level, in Alberta, permanent workers registered the lowest median wage difference (1.1 times) between unionized and non-unionized workers in August 2009. And in December 2006, Newfoundland registered the highest wage difference (2.06 times). In regards to temporary workers, unionized workers in Nova Scotia had a median wage 3.15 times that of non-unionized workers in March 2008; and the lowest wage difference was registered in Prince Edward Island 1.14 times in October 2008.
Within this context, the use of the Temporary Foreign Program cannot be ignored since it has shown an uninterrupted growth trend since 1997 –going from 73,434 workers to 338,189 or 361 percent increase in 2012. This trend is making a strong mark on the current structure of wages and benefits in this rapidly changing labour market. However, it hasn’t been as smooth as planned; in April 2012, when the Canadian government allowed firms to pay 15 percent less to these workers (before, they were allowed to pay five percent less), social groups and unions protested this measure and other abuses of the extensive use of the program. As a result, in 2013, the government eliminated this measure among others.

In sum, despite the fact that the "TFW usage is predominantly in industries with low union density and where unions have traditionally struggled to organize" (Foster, N/A), the wage differentials suggest that unions still have an important role to play in the Canadian labour market.

Canada - Quebec immigration seeks nurses
Canada - Quebec immigration seeks nurses

The new Quebec Skilled Worker Program has been modified to make it easier for nurses to qualify because of a shortage of skilled nurses in the province.Latest news

Applicants under the Quebec Skilled Worker Program are assessed according to a 'points grid' which awards points for various skills, qualifications and attributes. Single applicants must score 49 points to be successful and those with partners (whether of the same or the opposite sex) must score 57 points.A maximum of 16 points can be awarded for an applicant's professional training. This will be awarded if you are trained in a 'priority occupation', that is to say, one where there is a shortage of trained operatives in Quebec.16 points for nursing training

Under the old QSWP, nursing professionals scored 12 points. Under the new QSWP, nursing professionals receive the maximum 16 points.Points are awarded as follows

Criterion	Points awarded
Education	2-12
Training	6-16
Offer of employment	Up to 10
Work experience	Up to 8
Age	Up to 16
Language skills	6 to 22
Period of stay and family in Quebec	Up to 8
Spouse's skills/training/age	Up to 16
Children	Up to 8
Ability to support oneself	1 – you must score this point or your application will fail

The decision to upgrade nursing qualifications to 16 points makes it easier for nurses to qualify under the QSWP, even if they do not speak French.
You will see from the above table that a nurse who scored 28 points for education and training, 10 points for an offer of employment, 8 for work experience and 16 for her age would not need to score any points under the language heading to reach the 49 points required to qualify.

An advantage to speak French
Nonetheless, because Quebec is Canada's only French-speaking province, it would certainly be an advantage to speak French.Canada is seeking nurses with many different skills. Canadian nursing bodies estimate that the country will need 60,000 nurses in the next decade to service the country's requirements. Nurses in Canada can earn well over CAN$100,000 (US$100,000) per annum inclusive of overtime.

Prairie provinces expected to quicken Canada's economic growth

Prairie provinces expected to quicken Canada's economic growth - The Globe and Mail

By TAVIA GRANT

Canada's third-quarter GDP is expected to show solid domestic demand and continued growth in the mid-West, with activity quickening to an annual 2.5-per-cent pace

Canada's economy has likely firmed – thanks to solid domestic demand – after lacklustre growth through the first half of the year.

A report on gross domestic product out Friday is expected to show third-quarter economic activity quickened to an annual 2.5-per-cent pace after growth of 1.7 per cent and 2.2 per cent, respectively, in the previous two quarters.
The improvement reflects stronger business investment, housing activity and household expenditures after the Calgary floods and Quebec's construction strike had weighed on growth. The long-term picture remains one of muted growth but, for now, domestic strength is mitigating the effect of still-weak exports.

In the third quarter, "the only fly in the ointment was trade, with exports falling and imports rising – subtracting more than a full percentage point from growth," Emanuella Enenajor, economist at CIBC World Markets, said in a research note.

The Bank of Canada has ratcheted down its growth outlook, partly because of a slower-than-expected export pickup, and this week's GDP numbers could top its forecast. There's still plenty of evidence of slack in the economy, with last week's inflation report showing consumer prices remain well below the central bank's target range.

For now, the broad picture resembles a two-speed engine, with much oomph in the Prairies while activity elsewhere is sluggish.

Canada's economy "continues to run at multiple speeds, with strong growth in Alberta and Saskatchewan in contrast to Quebec and Atlantic Canada, which are struggling to grow much more than 1.5 per cent," Bank of Montreal senior economist Robert Kavcic noted in a report last week.

Economic growth among the provinces diverged last year. Alberta led the country's expansion in 2012, posting 3.8-per-cent growth, with Manitoba and Saskatchewan also posting above-average GDP growth. New Brunswick and Newfoundland's economy contracted outright, while Nova Scotia, Quebec and Ontario all posted sub-par growth, according to Statistics Canada data released this month.

To highlight just how strong Alberta was: Last year's growth came on the heels of 5.2-per-cent growth in 2011. Its expansion stemmed from booming household consumption, exports and building activity. Its workers benefited from the boom, with compensation of employees climbing 9.2 per cent, the fastest pace in the country.

All three provinces – Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta – now have the lowest unemployment rates in the country. Alberta boasts the highest retail sales growth, year-over-year, in Canada, along with the biggest percentage jump in building permits. Exports in the province are growing, new house prices are climbing and more people are flocking to the province for work.


Net inward migration to Alberta has soared to more than 50,000 people over the past year, BMO notes, the highest on record, with Saskatchewan also attracting more people.

"We continue to expect the western 'tilt' in growth to persist in the short term, with mostly moderate rates of expansion prevailing elsewhere in the country," said Robert Hogue, senior economist at RBC Dominion Securities, in a research report last week.

That more muted picture is evident. Ontario's government recently cut its real GDP growth forecast for both 2013 and 2014 amid sluggish U.S. demand and weak exports. Growth in the most populous province has also lagged behind the provincial government's forecast so far this year.

The "pause" in the economic recovery since early last year has continued this year, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development noted last week. It singled out exports, which have been "weaker than expected."
The pickup in third-quarter growth may prove short lived. Activity in the fourth quarter could decelerate to the 2-per-cent mark amid slowing home sales, CIBC noted.

Canada: Wages of Visible Minorities, Immigrants and Canadian-born workers

Canada: Wages of Visible Minorities, Immigrants and Canadian-born workers | CanadaImmigrants.com

Posted by The Canadian Magazine of Immigration on 16/12/2013

Canada: Wages of immigrants, visible minorities and Canadian-born workers

Highlights
Workers aged 25 to 54 with university education employed full year and full-time:
♦ They represented 28% of a total of 9,846,445 people 15 years and older that worked full year and full-time.
♦ About 68% of them were Canadian-born, 30% immigrant and 1% aboriginal workers.
♦ Women's median wages were 83% of men's ($60,727 for women and $73,299 for men).
♦ Immigrant workers had lower wages than their Canadian-born counterparts. Based on median wages, male immigrants earned $10,800 less than Canadian-born men; and female immigrants earned $11,100 less than their Canadian-born counterparts.
♦ The wage difference between non-visible minority and visible minority workers was even higher ($14,600 for men and $12,700 for women).
♦ In regards to language, male workers with a non-official language as their mother tongue earned $13,700 less than workers with English and $5,800 less than workers with French as their mother tongue. Among women, the wage differences were higher; women with a non-official language earned $13,600 less than women with English and $7,600 less than women with French as their mother tongue.
♦ Among “visible minorities”, Filipinos reported the lowest median wage of $50,795 (men), and $40,165 (women). In contrast, Japanese reported the highest median wage of $76,566 (men) and $58,165 (women).

Important:
We would like to point out that we used data from the National Household Survey (NHS) knowing that its quality is still under criticism because this survey was conducted on a voluntary basis, so its validity, reliability and comparability with other instruments, such as population censuses, have become an issue. In fact, before the first release of the NHS results, Statistics Canada issued warnings and cautions when using the NHS data, so use this data cautiously.

Ερώτηση προς τους πατριώτες του Καναδα

Καλησπέρα σε όλους και καλώς σας βρήκα!
Είναι όπως καταλάβατε το πρώτο μου μήνυμα και θα μπώ κατευθείαν στο θέμα. Είμαι κ εγώ ένας από τα εκατομμύρια των απογοητευμένων ελλήνων που κατοικούν εντός ορίων και που σκέφτονται να την κάνουν με ελαφρά. Το θέμα είναι ότι δεν ξέρω τι μπορώ να βρώ με βάση τα δικά μου προσόντα στον Καναδά οπότε θα ήθελα να μάθω περίπου τί παίζει αν και έχω κάνει μερικές επαφές ως τώρα και έχω μάθει κάποια πράγματα αλλά θα ήθελα και τη δική σας γνώμη όσων είστε ήδη στον Καναδά και έχετε δει πως είναι τα πράγματα. Είμαι 26, κάτοχος πτυχίου Φυσικής και αυτή τη στιγμή κάνω μεταπτυχιακό στη Διδακτική της Φυσικής και θα τελειώσω στο τέλος του 2014.
1) Υπάρχει κάποια σχετική δουλειά με την ειδικότητά μου που θα μπορούσα να βρω στον Καναδά?
2) Μπορώ να έρθω και να εργαστώ σε πρακτική ως μεταπτυχιακός φοιτητής? Τι προοπτική υπάρχει να με κρατήσουν μόνιμα για δουλειά?
3) Εκτός από τη Φυσική , θα μπορούσα να δουλέψω κάπου αλλού?
4) Ελληνικά σχολεία ή ελληνικά φροντιστήρια υπάρχουν?
Ελπίζω να μην σας κούρασα πολύ..
Σας ευχαριστώ πολύ για τις απαντήσεις σας εκ των προτέρων..
