The future of Canada’s immigration levels have featured prominently in conversations over the past year. Groups such as the Federal Advisory Council on Economic Growth have called for a sharp rise in immigration to enhance the country’s prosperity. Following the Advisory Council’s recommendation for Canada to increase immigration to 450,000 people per year by 2021, the federal government announced in October 2016 that Canada would admit at least 300,000 immigrants per year moving forward, and it is currently pursuing a mandate of increasing levels sustainably in light of the country’s aging population and low birth rate. Canadians will get a better sense of the federal government’s direction once Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen announces next year’s levels by November 1 ^st, 2017. The Conference Board of Canada is weighing in on the conversation. Its fall 2017 report evaluates several immigration scenarios and the projected impacts on the economy up to 2040. Join this webinar as we walk you through the findings to provide you with a better understanding of the role of immigration in Canada’s economic future.
