Family Immigrants and Immigration to Canada

immigrants: Job-ready economic immigrants are those chosen for their age, education, work experience, language skills and ability to become economically established in Canada, according to CBC. There is no good reason to decrease the number of these immigrants in order to increase the number of family immigrants and refugees. Here are three questions I hope the minister will answer: Why did the federal government decrease the number of job-ready economic immigrants While the federal government choice to increase the number of family immigrants and refugees comes as no surprise, what is surprising is that it came at the expense of job-ready economic immigrants. Immigration to Canada does not have to be a zero sum game. By bringing in more family immigrants and refugees, Canada is bringing in more people who are not necessarily job-ready upon arrival. Since job-ready economic immigrants must pay fees that equal the government cost to process these applications, processing more of them should be revenue neutral. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
