Does the sentence mean that every Canadians have a right to have a some kind of employment in Canada? but certainly there are some Canadians who are unemployed?

but certainly there are some Canadians who are unemployed? Y ou can interpret the words that way. But some knowledge of Canada, and perhaps some common sense, will indicate the correct interpretation is 'The Canadian Government can't tell citizens that they are allowed to work only in certain parts of Canada'.
