本周，多段视频和求职相关的视频在TikTok上疯传，这些视频揭示了安省初级职位求职者正在面临激烈的竞争。

前几天，在多伦多一家超市举办的招聘会上，前来求职的人大排长龙。而这次在安省一家麦当劳的招聘现场，这样的事情再次出现，现在这些视频在网上引发了大量讨论。

在多伦多周边Kitchener的一家麦当劳的招聘会上，出现了更多令人吃惊的镜头。这段简短的视频显示，队伍从招聘会会场开始，穿过停车场，绕过街区。视频说明里写着“当你来参加麦当劳招聘会时，会看见有300人在街上排队”。‍

拍摄者在帖子的标题中澄清说，这段视频是在大门还没打开的时候拍摄的，人们从早上7点就开始排队了。她补充说：“在这里找到一份工作简直是妄想。”

刚看到这个画面的时候，许多网友以为这是在排队抢购演唱会门票或降价商品，在得知这竟然是来求职的人的时候，大家都在感慨加拿大现在到底发生了什么。

一位网友写道：“我只想在多伦多找一份最低工资的工作，已经找了4个月了。到处申请，都没找到”。

另一位网友也说：“我排了 4 个小时的队，只为了得到一个收银员的面试机会。”

失控的通货膨胀让生活成本不断飙升，加上房价过高和加息，许多加拿大人的经济状况比以往任何时候都更加岌岌可危。

加拿大的移民数量也达到了历史最高水平，经济学家认为，这是导致房价居高不下、需求旺盛的关键因素，一些留学生和难民找不到工作，只能流落街头。

TD Economics的一份新报告称，加拿大的人口增长意味着会出现“教科书式的需求冲击。为了让新老加拿大人更好地融入社会，让人们充分发挥潜力，我们可以做的事情还有很多。”

Hundreds lining up to apply at Ontario McDonald's shows reality of job market for some

Many videos are going viral on TikTok this week for shedding light on the fierce competition people seeking entry-level jobs in Ontario are currently facing.

Clips of unimaginable numbers of people applying for positions at local grocery stores and other companies that have held hiring events in recent days are sparking tons of conversation online, mostly about the "fake dream" that newcomers to Canada say they were sold.

More footage of yet another surprisingly large turnout to a job fair near Toronto has emerged, this time for a McDonald's in Kitchener.

The brief recording shows what looks to be a hundreds-long lineup trailing out of the education centre that was hosting the event and going through the parking lot and around the block, an overlay reading "When you come for a McDonald's job fair and there's like 300 people lined up down the street."

The filmer clarified in the caption of the post that the clip was caught well before the doors had even opened and that "People must have been lined up since 7 a.m."

"It's literally impossible to find a job here," she added.

Many in the comments are shocked to find out that the line wasn't for some kind of sought-after concert tickets or exclusive merchandise drop, and are wondering what the heck is going on in Canada right now.

Others added their own experiences (and disappointments) in the local job market lately, with one woman writing "I've been trying to find a minimum wage job in Toronto for 4 months. Applied everywhere and there is no place."

"I waited in line for 4 hours just to be turned down for a cashier interview," another added.

With elevated interest rates, a cost of living that keeps surging through the roof thanks to out-of-control inflation, and a limited, overpriced supply of housing, many Canadians are in a more precarious financial position than ever.

Immigration to the country is also at an all-time high — something economists say is the key factor keeping things, especially housing, so pricey and in demand — with some international students and refugee claimants living on the streets and struggling to find work.

"A lot can be done to better integrate both new and existing Canadians so that people can reach their full potential. It can't just be a matter of bringing in an unchecked amount of people to take the lower paying jobs on offer," a new report from TD Economics reads, calling Canada's population growth "textbook demand shock."
