Justin Ryan: Ryan and Fear Immigration

justin ryan: There's no good in getting 3,000 people here if 3,000 aren't compelled to stay, says Ryan, according to CTV. But some fear immigration leads to fewer job opportunities for people born in the country. Justin Ryan with the Greater Moncton Multicultural Association says it's an achievable goal, and it can be done through attraction and retention. Ryan says it's the other way around. Much of the city's growth will partially come from the Atlantic Growth Pilot, a program aimed at pairing immigrants' skills with employers who need them. The idea that immigrants come here and create jobs or reserve jobs is one of the biggest missing dialogues in understanding the economic impact of immigration, he says. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
