A CIC News survey showed that 50% of respondents identified healthcare and 45% identified housing affordability as their top concerns. While both immigrants and native-born Canadians prioritize these issues, immigrants tend to focus more on housing, whereas native-born Canadians are more concerned about the healthcare system.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Newcomers in Canada are crucial to improving the housing situation. Not only do they make more efficient use of housing units, but they also form a significant portion of the labor force in the construction industry. Immigrants are more likely to live in shared housing, which leads to more efficient use of available space. Moreover, many immigrants work in professions such as architecture, civil engineering, and construction management, helping accelerate the building of new homes and increasing the housing supply.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In addition to housing, newcomers in Canada have a major impact on the healthcare sector. They account for a significant percentage of healthcare workers; for instance, 37% of doctors and 25% of nurses in Canada are immigrants. Despite the many challenges they face in obtaining work licenses in these fields, their vital role in filling labor gaps in various healthcare sectors is clearly evident.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Overall, the presence of newcomers in Canada not only contributes to improving housing and healthcare but also paves the way for a brighter future for the country. Their skills and talents help build a more sustainable and diverse society, enhancing the quality of life in Canada.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For more information and to assess your eligibility, you can contact us through the \u201c<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/canadaii.com\/en\/contact-us\/\">Contact Us<\/a><\/strong>\u201d section on the Canadian website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Newcomers in Canada play an important role in addressing the country\u2019s key issues, such as housing and healthcare.
