Amid Canada’s rising unaffordability and low growth, ‘onward migration’ – a fancy way of saying immigrants are leaving – is up 31 per cent
Ajay Virmani is the founder and executive chair of Cargojet . This article is drawn from the “Fascinating Canadian” lecture he recently delivered at an event for the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21.I earned three dollars an hour. I started on the 54th floor of the Toronto-Dominion Bank tower. It was bitterly cold, I had no warm clothes, no training, the flimsiest of harnesses and vertigo.At the end of my first day, I made $42.
Sadly, however, economic conditions are much harsher for today’s immigrants than they were in 1975. And the underlying social framework – our education and medical systems – is not what it used to be. We need to create a competitive edge, as we’re competing for skilled immigrants globally. For example, we need to expedite a path forward for more than 7,000 qualified doctors who are currently driving cabs and trucks, so they can help address our shortage of medical professionals.
To reverse this unfavourable view and restore faith in immigration, it is critically important we highlight evidence-based contributions of immigration through effective communications.
