From the ongoing migrant crisis in Europe, to America’s so-called Muslim ban, to increasingly protectionist immigration policies popping up around the world, immigration has become a heated topic in many places in the world. For the most part, Canada has remained steadfast that immigrants and refugees are welcome, famously accepting 30,000 Syrian refugees at the height of the migrant crisis in 2016. Altogether, Canada welcomed 296,000 new immigrants and refugees last year. Despite this, immigration policies continue to trigger debate. From worries about lowering wages, to straining Canada’s social support system, to terrorism, the concerns are numerous and varied. Some of those concerns have merit, many don’t. This week, in honour of Canada Day, we thought we’d take a look at some of the ways that immigration actually impacts Canadians and Canadian jobs. so your answer is yes!!
Hope this helps!!
