Statistics Canada is going to publish its March labour force survey on Friday morning.
RBC predicts that the report will indicate the addition of 25,000 jobs to the economy, but it believes this won't prevent the unemployment rate from going up to 5.9 per cent.
In February, Canada's unemployment rate was 5.8 per cent.
The Canadian economy has been continuously creating more jobs, despite the impact of high interest rates on economic growth.
However, the increase in employment has not kept pace with the rise in population, driven by greater permanent and temporary immigration.
The most recent employment data is being released just days before the Bank of Canada's upcoming interest rate announcement on April 10.
