Canada's federal Immigration Minister, Marc Miller, has released a report outlining key actions to strengthen the immigration system. The report suggests the need for a 'whole-of-government' approach to immigration growth, taking into account housing, healthcare, infrastructure, and other services. The plan comes ahead of the government's annual immigration levels plan, which is expected to be tabled in the House of Commons on Wednesday.
"With an aging population, people living longer, families having fewer children, Canada imperatively needs immigration to rebalance our demographics and support the growing need for workers," federal Immigration Minister Marc Miller said Tuesday.
Among the changes outlined in the report is the need to develop a"whole-of-government" approach to immigration growth. Such an approach would take housing, health care, infrastructure and other services into account when planning immigration levels. However, he pointed recent steps by the federal government to address the housing shortage, including the rollout of the housing accelerator fund, which gives cities additional money to boost housing development.
