Canada Experience: Economic Immigration

Government Dept: The Canada Experience Class a centrepiece of the government's economic immigration reforms has admitted 20,000 people since its creation in 2008. "For too long we have seen too many newcomers struggling to survive in our economy," Kenney told a news conference in Toronto. "That simply isn't acceptable. Especially in an economy with large labour shortages.", according to CBC. At a time when the world's economic outlook is shaky, the Harper government continues to try to secure Canada's long-term prosperity by emphasizing economic immigration and immigration Minister Jason Kenney announced a new benchmark Friday in his government's attempts to recruit and retain international students and temporary foreign workers who've lived in Canada. The 20,000th person to beome a permanent resident under the program is Gaurav Gore, a University of Toronto MBA student, who now works for a major Canadian bank. He attended Friday's announcement.
