Canada is, at its core, a country built on immigration.
Immigrants have helped drive our nation's growth. Today,
one in four Canadians are foreign born.
We have developed a reputation for welcoming
immigrants and valuing multiculturalism. Our "mosaic"
makes Canada one of the most unique places in the
world and an attractive landing spot for those pursuing
the Canadian dream.
Unfortunately, reality is setting in – housing is
unaffordable and there is a mismatch in skills
and employment. New Canadians are
struggling more than ever. This is bad for business
and for Canada's long-term economic growth.
Immigration has become a metric for politicians
and the results are poor:
- Newcomers work jobs they are overqualified for.
This is not sustainable long term. - In-demand trades are not prioritized, leading to
worker shortages in vital and growing industries. - Finding good people is challenging. Businesses focus
on just getting by instead of investing in the future.
Government needs to improve its labour strategy by
focusing on filling the jobs of today. Simply increasing
the number of immigrants will not solve our issues in the
labour force.
- Immigration policy should prioritize labour market
demands and Canadian standards. - Improved support for newcomer integration and
population growth (housing and infrastructure) has to be addressed.
As boomers retire and birth rates continue to decline,
there's no doubt that immigration has an even bigger
role to play in Canada's future success.
It's time our government resets its
focus back on industry needs
over ideology. Canadian
companies need to prosper to
protect our future in the global
market. Can we find a way to
help our immigrants find the
Canadian dream?
