Canada has the most educated workforce among the G7 countries, but concerns remain regarding the mismatch between training and job needs.

A Statistics Canada report, based on the 2021 census, found that 57.5 percent of Canadians aged 25 to 64 had a college or university credential. Japan was second among the G7 countries, at 55.6 percent, with the United States third at 50.3. Italy was last at 20.0.
