Immigration targets have risen steadily in recent years. Last year, the government released a plan to grant permanent residency to 465,000 people in 2023, a figure that would rise to 500,000 by 2025.
The immigration target for 2015 was under 300,000.
My complaint isn’t about immigration, but that we’re not using our immigration policy to attract top talent.
Trudeau only wants this because he thinks those 500k people will vote Liberals
Immigrants don’t all become citizens. Many stay for a few years and move on, many more will acquire indefinite leave to remain and never go the extra mile for citizenship. Of those that become citizens (after years of living in Canada) and gain the right to vote, many tend to vote Conservative as they’re coming from more culturally conservative countries.
Uh oh.
Are politicians going to have to start funding post secondary schools instead of extracting money from the developing world?
Will Tim’s franchise owners need to pay a reasonable wage?
What about fish plants and meat packers? Will they need to consider automation?
And what about the landlords renting to foreign students at inflated rates?
That seems like a crazy amount of people to add to the employment and housing situations.
The fact dollarama has 2000 people show up to interview for 2 openings tells me this isn’t sustainable.
Is this true? The unemployment numbers are pretty low even after the interest hikes.
