Canadian Provinces: Newcomers and Economics Migrants

canadian provinces: That means 10,000 more newcomers will be allowed into the country in 2018 compared with this year, according to CBC. The numbers will rise to 330,000 in 2019 and 340,000 in 2020, the government has said. Canada has set a goal to accept nearly 1 million immigrants over the next three years, with 60 per cent of those newcomers coming in as economics migrants, in order to offset a shrinking workforce due to an aging population. We're not in a panic about this because we know it's gradual, Lee Yuen, who is the CEO of the Centre for Newcomers, told the Calgary Eyeopener on Thursday. Government of Canada Alberta brings in the third most immigrants of all Canadian provinces, she said, and is expected to rise to second place in the coming years. And we're getting the information ahead of time, unlike with the Syrian influx coming in where we had very little time to prepare and we really needed to figure out what we were going to do in a new way.
