Jamaica continues to lose its professionals to Canada, with the largest number of migrants to the North American country in 2023 belonging to the “professionals, senior officials and technician” category.
Of the 4,340 Jamaicans granted permanent resident status in Canada last year, 78 per cent, or 3,390, were in the working-age population of 15-64 years, according to the Planning Institute of Jamaica’s 2023 Economic and Social Survey Jamaica.
