>often it’s not immigration officials deciding who can live in Canada, but the local Canadian Tire or Tim Hortons manager
That’s the part that needs to change. It is not a bad idea to let the market dictate demand, but we are failing to effectively compare that demand to the domestic supply. We have no shortage of people who can run cash registers and bus tables. „I don’t want to pay the market rate“ is not a valid justification for adding even more of them. We should be prioritizing sectors like healthcare where we know we need far more people than we can train in time.
We also need to think hard about the effects of companies subcontracting jobs overseas. It doesn’t have the same effect on markets like housing that immigration does, but it’s just as harmful to employment. In my world, most of the work that used to be done by new graduates is now contracted out.
But nothing’s going to change here as long as both the Liberals and Conservatives are beholden to their corporate lobbyists.
>The number of new permanent residents is rising, not falling
>Last fall, the federal government said its latest immigration plan “stabilizes targets for permanent resident admissions.” *The target for new permanent residents in 2026 was 380,000, slightly lower than last year’s 395,000. That might lead people to believe that the numbers of new permanent residents is dropping – but that’s not the case.*
>The levels plan noted an additional 148,000 permanent residents would be added on top of the official targets under a one-time, two-year initiative.
>An honest accounting of the numbers would show that over three years, 1,288,000 people will be given permanent resident status, which is higher than the 1,140,000 three-year target in the previous immigration levels plan. *However, that would be inconvenient for the government, as it wants to show that immigration is dropping.*
I have highlighted this in past discussions. This is not how to build trust among a population and electorate heavily disaffected with the immigration file.
To me, despite Carney being a welcome change from the absurdity of the Trudeau era, I need to see honesty and transparency from them on this file. And currently, this feels like a new albeit refreshing coat of paint on what is otherwise the same LPC.
>While this is a good thing for temporary residents who have begun to build lives here, again, it gets away from the idea of picking the immigrants most likely to succeed. Many in this group came in on easy-to-access student permits or as cheap, temporary labour, and they may have less qualifications than other applicants.
Exactly. Before the liberals started closing the floodgates that **they themselves flung open**, plenty of former international students managed to get PR off of crappy diploma mill „diplomas“ and a couple of years of working at Tim Hrotons.
