20% of Ontario’s construction workforce will be lost by 2027 due to retirement, according to a 2018 report by BuildForce.

That's where TradesCan steps in, helping Ontario construction companies find skilled foreign workers and immigrants to fill critical gaps. Let’s secure Ontario’s construction future!
