Immigration Matter: Support Programs and Immigrants End

immigration matter: Why are these related Why might they be more important collectively than individually Each of these files has been on the boil for some time, according to The Chronicle Herald. Unresolved, each is an encumbrance on economic growth. One was a collaborative initiative by the feds and Atlantic premiers on immigration, another marked progress on internal free trade and the third found a basis for agreement on important revisions to the Canada Pension Plan, removing the threat Ontario would implement its own plan. That why we should be excited that progress appears real. The perception generally is that immigrants fill jobs that would otherwise be available to unemployed Canadians, or worse, that immigrants end up dependent on social support programs. The immigration matter is widely misunderstood, particularly in Atlantic Canada, where unemployment has traditionally been at levels higher than the national average. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
