Minister John McCallum and Government

Conservatives: On Tuesday, the Trudeau government announced Canada new immigration levels for the current year, and they are up by about 20,000 over the previous government's, according to Rabble. The new target is 300,000 compared to fewer than 280,000 for the Conservatives' last year in power. Chip in to keep stories like these coming. In particular, the government touts its increase to the family reunification class of immigrants, which it has hiked to 80,000 from 68,000. The Harper Conservatives were almost hostile to those older, would-be immigrants. Immigration and Refugees Minister John McCallum says the Liberals want to reduce the big backlog of parents and grandparents who seek to rejoin children and grandchildren in Canada.
