CIC Citizenship and Immigration Canada

Citizenship and Immigration Canada: Some call it clich while others call it irrefutable fact: our country has been and will continue to be built by immigrants. From economic prosperity to social harmony, the well-being of Canada and its people are intrinsically linked to both our immigration policy and the way immigrants are treated in this country, according to The Star. Where we stand on immigration is a reflection of who we are as a nation and Citizenship and Immigration Canada CIC is currently consulting the public on Canadas future immigration plan. Very few Canadians know about this, and even fewer may participate. Given the consultation design and the questions posed by CIC, perhaps that should not be a surprise. Yet immigration is forever a subject of polarized debate. On the one hand, with the aging population and ever declining birth rate, many Canadians economists and demographers among them are calling for a significant increase in immigration intakes. On the other side of the debate are those including some newcomers arguing for a decline or even a complete halt of immigration in light of current unemployment rates and the persistent underutilization of immigrants talents and skills.
