The Importance of Immigration to Canada: Come to Canada
Immigration to Canada and immigrants in Canada contribute greatly to the Canadian economy and Canadian society in general. Immigrants in Canada provide skilled and qualified workers for many Canadian employers to fill available jobs. In other words, without immigration in Canada, Canadian employers and the Canadian labour market would experience serious labour shortages across all sectors of the Canadian economy.
Canada has an aging population because Canadians are living longer and having fewer children. There are more people retiring than there are young Canadians entering the job market. This also means there won’t be as many workers paying taxes to support our social services, such as pensions and health care. That’s why Canada has a plan for immigration.
The Canadian government, through the department of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, allows immigrants into Canada every year. Immigrants to Canada are mostly selected and admitted to Canada on the merits of their ability to contribute positively to the Canadian economy.
