Immigration Policy and Immigration Policy

Immigration Policy: Recent immigration changes have tipped the balance between short-term labour market needs and long-term prospects of immigrant families and their children, the C.D. Howe Institute says in a new study, titled Dont Forget the Kids: How Immigration Policy Can Help Immigrants Children , according to The Star. If immigration policy recognizes and supports families, then it can more effectively contribute to the success of the next generation, which ultimately affects the future well-being of all Canadians and Canadas temporary foreign worker program needlessly separates children from parents, delays their arrivals and impedes their successful integration, says an independent think-tank. Canadas immigration policy needs to define success not just in terms of the immediate job prospects of newcomers, but also according to the longer-term social prospects of immigrants, and particularly the capacity of their children to become successful, says the study, released Wednesday.
