Canada is surely one of the countries which believe in Immigration to be their key factor to keep them competitive in the global economy. Immigration also helps offset the impacts of an ageing population and the fact that the number of people in Canada’s labor force will soon be declined. Immigration will help Canada to increase their net labor force growth as the number of retirements outpaces the number of Canadian youth joining the labor market. Taking all the above factors into consideration Canada government has established 300,000 as a new baseline for permanent resident admissions with the majority of these selected as economic immigrants for the year 2017.

The below will provide you with the insight for the Canada’s immigration plan.
