Final Answer :
The report includes provincial- and federal-level projections of supply and demand for engineers and serves to highlight the continued importance of engineers to the Canadian economy.There is a large and growing need to replace retiring engineers.This is particularly relevant for civil,mechanical,electrical/electronic,and computer engineers.Interprovincial mobility and immigration may be important in filling the positions left by retiring engineers.As a proactive strategy to deal with these shortages,Canadian universities,colleges,and technical institutions can play a critical role in increasing the number of Canadian and international students graduating with engineering degrees and technical diplomas,thereby creating new entrants to engineering occupations.Federal government policies that streamline international immigration of engineers to meet future workforce requirements may help.
