In 2024, the Survey on Employment and Skills reported that early 3 in 10 employed Canadians are using AI tools in the workplace, but almost one-half of those have not received any formal training.
The survey questions about the use of AI at work were repeated in the most recent wave of the survey, conducted in the spring of 2025. The latest results, which show that the use of artificial intelligence in the workplace is increasing, are summarized in this infographic.
The Survey on Employment and Skills is conducted by the Environics Institute for Survey Research, in partnership with the Diversity Institute at Toronto Metropolitan University and the Future Skills Centre. Wave 8 of the survey of 5,603 adult Canadians was conducted online (in the provinces) and by telephone (in the territories) between March 12 and April 15, 2025.
The Survey on Employment and Skills is funded primarily by the Government of Canada’s Future Skills Centre / Le sondage sur l’emploi et les compétences est financé principalement par le Centre des Compétences futures du gouvernement du Canada.
