From the perspective of the labour force and job market, I think it makes no sense for new foreign workers to come to Canada in the near future. Now I know this is an unpopular opinion but hear me out.
Canada and the rest of the world is gearing up for a recession. There's already tens of thousands of job loses in Canada due to people being laid off. The federal and provincial governments are supporting millions already who have lost their jobs. Billions of dollars are allocated to support small and medium businesses who have suffered from loss of business and aid to keep employees on pay role.
In a crisis like this, the government is trying to support the workers already in Canada. Bringing more people to an already strained labour market means the government will have to support the new comers to integrate into a more difficult economic climate. If these new comers don't succeed in getting suitable jobs, they have to be financially supported as well. Plus create even more competion for the remaining what ever amount of jobs.
Now I'm not saying this crisis will go forever. Actually one does not know how things will pan out. But from the government perspective, it makes sense that they will try to mitigate the risks as much as possible.
