Once a foundation of multicultural Canada, support for immigration among Canadians is eroding
In its well-meaning effort to encourage the migration of international students to Canada , the Trudeau government is turning swaths of our postsecondary education system into a grift.
My colleague Marie Woolf has been investigating and reporting on the flood of international students – there are now more than– who have been coming into Canada in recent years. Many of these students get a sound education, land good jobs, and eventually become valued Canadian citizens. They are here as much for the work permit as for an education, and to leverage that work into permanent-resident status. This is a reasonable hope, since the Liberals have vastly increased the number of permanent residents being admitted to this country, fromThere may be students who, after studying in Canada, fear persecution when they return to their home country. Maybe they are LGBTQ, Maybe they come from a country such as Haiti, where already-grim conditions have gotten even worse.
Maybe the next budget will dedicate itself to improving productivity growth by cutting back on immigration. Nothing would surprise anymore.
