Canada’s labor market demonstrated unexpected strength in May, adding 88,000 jobs—the largest monthly gain since November 2025. The employment rate climbed to 60.7%, while unemployment dipped to 6.6%, reversing April’s losses. This surge defied FactSet’s projection of just 12,500 new roles.

The Canadian dollar (CAD) initially found support from the robust data, interrupting its multi-week decline against the USD. However, the currency’s rally was short-lived. A blockbuster U.S. jobs report showing 172,000 new positions sent USD/CAD soaring toward its 2026 peak, with the pair stabilizing at 0.71 as markets digest the divergence in North American economic momentum.
