近期，加拿大主要城市面臨流浪漢數量急劇增加的社會問題，尤其是在市中心地區，街頭聚集的大量無家可歸者已經成為顯著現象。多倫多的失業率目前達到9.5%，溫哥華則為6.8%，高失業率與生活成本壓力加劇城市無家可歸現象。街頭露宿、臨時收容所擁擠以及公共設施遭到頻繁使用，均反映出社會安全網與住房保障的不足。無家可歸問題不僅影響城市景觀，也增加了公共衛生及治安管理的難度，成為市政管理的重大挑戰。

與此同時，加拿大的勞動市場也呈現出複雜局面。LMIA（勞動市場影響評估）申請難度增加，引發許多外國勞工的焦慮。然而，專家指出，失業率數據本身並非全面障礙，選擇合適的地區與職位仍可取得入境及就業機會。例如，一些高需求行業與特定地區仍有職位豁免，且高薪職位路線依然存在。這意味著，對於有技能與規劃的申請者而言，加拿大的勞動市場仍提供可行的發展空間。

總體來看，加拿大面臨社會與經濟的雙重壓力：一方面，無家可歸問題急劇惡化，迫切需要政府在住房、就業及社會保障方面加強干預；另一方面，外國勞動力和技術移民若能把握政策指引與市場需求，仍有機會在加拿大取得穩定的工作與生活。這一現象反映了加拿大社會在高生活成本、人口流動與勞動市場規範下的複雜挑戰。

Recently, major Canadian cities have been facing a sharp rise in homelessness, particularly in downtown areas, where large numbers of homeless individuals have become a prominent social issue. Toronto’s unemployment rate currently stands at 9.5%, while Vancouver’s is 6.8%. High unemployment combined with the cost of living has intensified urban homelessness, with people sleeping on the streets, overcrowding temporary shelters, and frequently using public facilities, highlighting the inadequacy of social safety nets and housing support. Homelessness not only affects the cityscape but also increases challenges for public health and security, becoming a major concern for municipal management.

At the same time, Canada’s labor market is presenting a complex picture. The LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) application process has become more challenging, causing concern among foreign workers. However, experts note that unemployment rates alone do not fully restrict opportunities. By targeting the right regions and occupations, applicants can still find entry and employment opportunities. Certain high-demand industries and locations remain exempt from some requirements, and high-paying career pathways remain available. This indicates that skilled and well-planned applicants still have viable opportunities in Canada’s labor market.

Overall, Canada is facing dual pressures—social and economic. On one hand, homelessness is worsening rapidly, requiring stronger government intervention in housing, employment, and social support. On the other hand, foreign labor and skilled immigrants who understand policy guidance and market demand can still secure stable work and living conditions. These developments reflect the complex challenges Canadian society faces amid high living costs, population mobility, and labor market regulations.
