Point Hussen: Immigration and Hussen

point hussen: Justin Trudeau has no credibility to set Canada's immigration levels, she said Thursday at a news conference, according to CTV. Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Ahmed Hussen announced on Wednesday that Canada will increase its immigration target to 350,000 by 2021, up from the current level of 310,000. The number is not the point, according to Michelle Rempel. Hussen told CTV's Power Play on Thursday that the plan is responsible and ambitious and focuses on bringing in highly-skilled talent that creates middle class jobs for our country. Hussen added that the Federal Skilled Workers program, which offers residency to people like international students who find work, makes up the single biggest component of immigration. Canadians are asking us to provide them with more workers, more skilled immigrants who can grow our economy and create good-quality, full-time middle class jobs, Hussen said.
