As the second largest country in the world, Canada has long been recognized as a transportation leader. To keep Canadian exports flowing smoothly and deliver goods to all of Canada’s far-reaching communities, Canadians rely on the expertise of the logistics industry. Despite the emergence of automated technologies (such as Amazon’s dabbling in a drone delivery program) there is no reliable replacement for skilled logistics workers. The dominance of ecommerce and online purchasing has also driven steady demand for logistics workers. In the past year, 'warehouse worker' became the top logistics job in Canada, likely driven by our growing dependence on online shopping. Online orders need to be stored and shipped, and warehouses and fulfillment centres are popping up around the country to handle demand.
