Hotels Canada’s 2026 Spring Workforce Report

Hotels Canada has released its 2026 Spring Workforce Report, providing new insights into the workforce pressures affecting Canada’s hotel industry.

The report explores ongoing labour challenges across the country, including workforce shortages, retention concerns due to expiring work permits, and the impacts of immigration and workforce policy changes on hotel operations.

The findings highlight particularly acute pressures in rural and resort communities, where hotels continue to face barriers attracting and retaining workers, alongside growing concerns around expiring permits.

The report reinforces the important role of both domestic and international workers in supporting hotel operations, while underscoring the need for workforce policies that reflect the realities facing Canada’s hotel industry.
