CareerWise is always on the lookout for the latest reports related to career development. Here are several reports that we found interesting this week.

Changes in the population and employment rates of persons with disabilities (Statistics Canada)

New data show that the number of Canadians with disabilities has continued to rise, driven largely by growth in mental health–related disabilities among younger adults. The report also highlights widening employment gaps, with persons with disabilities experiencing lower employment rates than non-disabled Canadians despite overall labour-market strength.

Labour market and immigration outcomes for international students in Ontario (HEQCO & SRDC)

The report examines how international students in Ontario fare after graduation, finding wide variation in employment and immigration outcomes across programs, institutions and student groups. It highlights the need for clearer pathways, improved supports and stronger alignment between education, immigration and labour-market systems.

Regional dynamics of vacancies in health-related occupations in Canada (Statistics Canada)

The analysis tracks early career outcomes for recent graduates, showing strong employment rates but notable differences by credential, field of study and gender. Earnings varied widely across programs, underscoring how program choice continues to shape graduates’ early labour-market trajectories.
