Researchers say Canada needs 30,000 new immigrants to either start up their own farms, or take over existing ones, to avoid a looming labour crisis in the agriculture industry:
🚜 About 40 percent of Canadian farmers are expected to retire within the next 10 years, while 66 percent of farmers don't have a succession plan, according to a recent report from RBC.
🚜 To fill this gap, the report suggests Canada update its immigration programs to specifically bring in 30,000 farm-focused newcomers.
🚜 In 2020, Canada started an agriculture-specific immigration pilot program designed to give a path to permanent residency for non-seasonal workers with experience, but it's set to end this May. A department spokesperson told CBC in an email they are assessing the pilot "and the possible extension beyond its scheduled expiry."
