Interesting choice at a time of record youth unemployment. Sounds like they’re counting on young people not voting in the next election.

The 25% target is lower than the actual results (slightly blocked by the red circle). And Canada has decades of immigrants of working age. So what is the controversy?
It would probably make more sense to use a formula that *also* takes into account prevailing unemployment rates, or perhaps better, add a separate formula specific to unemployment rates, e.g., percentage of unemployed who are not immigrants or refugees <= 75%. Otherwise it can lead to perverse incentives; you can imagine a situation where unemployment is high (perhaps at 10% or more), nearly all non-immigrant, but the size of the labour force still needs to be increased to meet the 25% target. Could lead to loss of public confidence in the system.
Random arbitrary number selected because it is a nice “round” figure without too much thought give. Why even set these figures? I don’t think we should arbitrarily hamstring the labour market which is supposed to be free from such constraints in a broadly free market economy.
What counts as an immigrant? Are we talking specifically PRs and citizens who immigrated from a different country? Because that’s fine, and makes sense.
“Immigration” tends to be used as an encompassing term, but most people’s issues with our systems stem from our exploitation of temporary immigration.
Notional post being dumb as usual. Almost 25% of Canadians are immigrants anyway. This is just maintaining the ratio. Smh.
This metric doesn’t mean exactly what I think many people thinks it means.
I’m assuming they use the Stats Can definition of „labour force“, which is „the portion of the civilian, non-institutional population aged 15 and older who are either employed or unemployed and actively seeking work“.
Basically, if this metric falls, it means that either (i) the percentage of working-age immigrants relative to the population is falling, meaning the immigration cohort is getting older OR (ii) immigrants are arriving but no longer actively seeking work. IRCC wants to discourage both of these outcomes.
