Canada's Unemployment Rate is expected to rise to 6.5% in September from 6.4% in August.The labour market faces its first full test since new US tariffs took effect in August.The Canadian Dollar remains under pressure ahead of the jobs report and the Bank of Canada's October meeting.Statistics Canada will release its September Labour Force Survey on Friday, with markets anticipating a modest recovery in employment following August's sharp decline. The report takes on particular importance as it will be the first to fully reflect the impact of new United States (US) tariffs that took effect on August 22. These additional trade barriers could weigh on hiring, particularly in export-oriented industries, raising concerns about the resilience of the Canadian labour market.According to Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), the new tariffs could have stalled the labour market's recovery without necessarily reversing it. The bank expects employment to increase by a modest 5K in September, while forecasting the Unemployment Rate to remain unchanged at 6.4%. Similarly, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) anticipates a modest increase of 5K jobs, warning that trade tensions could continue to weigh on manufacturing employment. The bank expects the Unemployment Rate to rise to 6.5%, in line with market consensus.The employment figures could also influence expectations surrounding the Bank of Canada (BoC), which has maintained its policy rate at 2.25% since October 2025. The central bank is expected to remain cautious at its October 28 meeting, balancing signs of economic weakness against persistent inflationary pressures.Indeed, Canada's headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) steadied at 3% YoY in August, remaining well above the BoC’s 2% target amid elevated energy prices. Against this backdrop, a stronger-than-expected employment report could revive speculation about a potential BoC interest rate hike, while another disappointing reading could reinforce expectations of a prolonged monetary policy pause.What can we expect from the next Canadian jobs report?Consensus among analysts sees Canada's Unemployment Rate rising to 6.5% in September, from 6.4% in August. Additionally, investors expect the economy to add around 7K jobs, partially reversing the substantial 41.7K decline recorded in the previous month.It is worth recalling that Average Hourly Wages increased by 2% YoY in August, slowing from 3% in July and 3.7% in June, suggesting that wage inflation is gradually losing momentum.Beyond the headline figures, market participants will pay particular attention to full-time employment, wage growth and the participation rate to assess whether the Canadian labour market is showing further signs of weakness.When is the Canadian unemployment rate released, and how could it affect USD/CAD?Statistics Canada will publish its September employment report on Friday at 12:30 GMT. A stronger-than-expected reading could provide some support to the Canadian Dollar (CAD), particularly if accompanied by resilient wage growth and a decline in unemployment.Conversely, another disappointing employment report could weigh on the Loonie by reducing expectations of monetary tightening from the BoC.USD/CAD remains in a consolidative phase near 1.4200 ahead of the release, with the pair's next directional move potentially influenced by the strength of Friday's labour market figures.USD/CAD 4-hour chartIn the four-hour chart, USD/CAD maintains a constructive bullish bias while holding above the 100-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 1.4151 and the 200-period SMA at 1.4003. The clustering of horizontal supports between 1.4175 and 1.4200 reinforces a rising structure, even as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) near 45 hints at easing momentum after the recent advance.On the topside, immediate resistance appears at 1.4232, ahead of 1.4270 and the recent cap near 1.4293. On the downside, initial support is seen at 1.4200, followed by 1.4175, with the 100-period SMA around 1.4151 and nearby horizontal levels at 1.4150 and 1.4133 forming a broader demand zone; deeper pullbacks would expose 1.4100 and then 1.4025 before the longer-term 200-period SMA at 1.4003.(The technical analysis of this story was written with the help of an AI tool.

The Net Change in Employment released by Statistics Canada is a measure of the change in the number of people in employment in Canada. Generally speaking, a rise in this indicator has positive implications for consumer spending and indicates economic growth. Therefore, a high reading is seen as bullish for the Canadian Dollar (CAD), while a low reading is seen as bearish.

Canada’s labor market statistics tend to have a significant impact on the Canadian dollar, with the Employment Change figure carrying most of the weight. There is a significant correlation between the amount of people working and consumption, which impacts inflation and the Bank of Canada’s rate decisions, in turn moving the C$. Actual figures beating consensus tend to be CAD bullish, with currency markets usually reacting steadily and consistently in response to the publication.

How do employment levels affect currencies?

Labor market conditions are a key element to assess the health of an economy and thus a key driver for currency valuation. High employment, or low unemployment, has positive implications for consumer spending and thus economic growth, boosting the value of the local currency. Moreover, a very tight labor market – a situation in which there is a shortage of workers to fill open positions – can also have implications on inflation levels and thus monetary policy as low labor supply and high demand leads to higher wages.
