Canada News Centre - Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship CanadaSpeaking notes for the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship: Strengthening Canada’s Temporary Resident Programs and Migration Pathways
18-Sep-2024Earlier this year, I gave Canadians an update on the status of Canada’s immigration system and our ongoing work to make it more efficient and sustainable.
Strengthening temporary residence programs for sustainable volumes
18-Sep-2024Canada has a long and proud history of welcoming newcomers from around the world who support our economy and enrich our country. In response to labour shortages and the aftershocks of the pandemic, the federal government took steps to meet the urgent needs of businesses and support our economic recovery. Since then, Canada’s economy has evolved, and we must continue to adapt our immigration system to respond to new pressures, including a softening labour market.
Actions taken to strengthen Canada’s temporary residence programs and migration pathways
18-Sep-2024Immigration must be responsive to our country’s needs. Setting goals and targets for immigration is a critical part of how we support a well-managed, sustainable immigration system built on community capacity, humanitarian responsibilities and economic objectives, while prioritizing the health, safety and security of Canadians.
