Uzelman: A short-term reduction in immigration rates is necessary
The federal government has made several changes to the immigration system in 2023. Some changes are positive; some are not. Unchanged is the government’s drive to amply raise immigration levels.
In theory, the changes are solid. The prioritized sectors will be adjusted to demand yearly. But the effectiveness of Express Entry will depend on the government prioritizing the appropriate professions. It is uncertain exactly how the government arrived at the new targets. What is clear is they were not based on current housing stock or the capacity to expand government services. Housing stock is deficient for Canada’s current population, and thus the cost has been driven above affordable levels for many Canadian citizens and newcomers alike. Similarly, some government services are stretched to the breaking point, particularly health care but also, ironically, immigration services.
