Canada’s immigration policy: Who is on the guest list? - The Globe and Mail

It's been a while since I posted ... crazy times as my current position has become another casualty of the government cuts to settlement and I am scrambling to find new ways to engage the sector. BUT, this article (follow the link) is a profound complement to the posts I have put up previously regarding WHO we are inviting into Canada, focusing specifically on the implications around the record number of temporary foreign workers (mostly in low-skill positions) that our government is prioritizing over immigrants. The author notes the issues that need to be carefully pondered lest we find ourselves no longer breaking new ground on society building, but rather following down the failed roads implemented by European nations that are experiencing significant fallout from focusing on such migration policies.
