Liberals and Fall Election

permanent residents: The numbers help everyone from provinces to settlement agencies figure out their own service and support requirements for the upcoming year, according to The Chronicle Herald. The plan is supposed to be tabled each November, but the one for 2016 was delayed by the fall election. The annual plan lays out the total number of permanent residents that Canada will accept in the coming year. While the Liberals' final deadline for publishing it is Wednesday, it could be released as soon as today when the House of Commons resumes sitting. But the Liberals have already begun a different approach — a massive increase to the number of refugees Canada will accept thanks to the landmark Syrian refugee program. Over time, the previous Conservative government shifted the balance of immigration to Canada more in favour of economic immigrants. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
