Canada's economy is reporting its biggest one-month employment surge since 1976, when the government started collecting comparable data.
Statistics Canada says the labour market added 106,500 jobs in April, the bulk of which were full time.
The increase helped drop the unemployment rate to 5.7 per cent last month, down from 5.8 per cent in March.
