Ottawa should lower its immigration targets, at least for the next few years
Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Marc Miller rises during Question Period in the House of Commons on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Oct. 19. Miller is set to announce Canada's new immigration targets this week., while enabling even sharper increases in temporary immigration – with the two interconnected streams powered by huge jumps in the number of foreign students.
So let’s talk about what a rational immigration system would look like: It would start with acknowledging that the long-standing principles, goals and methods of the Canadian immigration system, created long before the Trudeau government came into office, are sound. Last week in Toronto, a shared bed for rent was advertised for $900 a month. Not a room in a shared apartment. A shared bed in a shared room.markets, where a record shortage of places to live is meeting an immigration policy that celebrated a record of more than a million people coming to the country last year.
Canada was not anti-immigration in 2015. Canada was not anti-immigration under the Liberal governments of Jean Chrétien, Paul Martin and Pierre Trudeau, when immigration was even lower. And Canada will not be anti-immigration next year if, in response to facts not faith, immigration is a bit less than this year.
