CONTEXT
Governments recognize that a skilled and flexible workforce is key to prosperity in today’s changing economy. Immigrants and other internationally-trained workers continue to play a vital role in sustaining Canada’s economic strength and high quality of life.
In addition to weathering the current economic storm, Governments must take action to ensure that the Canadian economy remains on a competitive and prosperous footing over the long-term.
In light of the increasing global competition for talent, an immigration system that attracts the best and brightest from around the world positions Canada to address current and future skills shortages. The demographic changes facing Canada’s labour market in the coming decades also points to an important contributing role for immigration.
Achieving Canada’s economic potential requires that immigrants are able to use to the fullest their skills and experience within the Canadian labour market.
