Canada immigration system: The federal government announced changes to Canada immigration system this week, according to Globe and Mail. It will make it easier for foreign students in Canada to stay and work after they graduate – these are the kind of immigrants Canada needs. They are authors of the C.D. Howe Institute publication, Moving Parts: Immigration Policy, Internal Migration and Natural Resource Shocks. But it also quietly approved changes that allow Atlantic Canadian seafood processors to use temporary foreign workers in seasonal jobs in place of Canadian workers. The changes were substantial and are likely to profoundly change the type of people who migrate to Canada. The previous government changed the rules of the two main economic immigration channels: the temporary foreign worker program and the permanent immigrant system that awards points to prospective immigrants.
