I totally agree with the researcher's point of view "It is important for Canada to boost the labour market outcomes of family class immigrants as the country becomes more dependent on immigrants to support its economic growth."

Echoing G Wilbur, but adding the assumptions constant decline of Annual real GDP growth from 1.6% to 1.1% for no immigration and constant increases from 1.7% to 2.0% for the Immigration 1%.  Native Canadians no longer not create growth value ? Says who ? I disagree.

Why not address the root cause issue?  Why has Canada's fertility rate plummeted from 3.6 births per woman (1960) to 1.6 births per woman (2018).  This is the catastrophic state of a declining and dying nation.

Rather than paying for population replacement why not invest in Canadian families to maintain population replacement levels @ 1.2 births per woman.  Immigration as a source is unsustainable with the quality of the applicants declining and other countries poaching the best.

I expected this issue to be taken seriously.

G Wilbur -  June 11, 2018
The article was very interesting and my rating reflects my dismay at the one sided conclusion. It chose to highlight the GDP growth perspective, rather then emphasize the importance of GDP per person as alternative basis for optimization.

In the article, the no immigration 2040 scenario provided  $71,405 GDP per person versus 1% immigration 2040 scenario which yielded only $63,057 GDP per person. The average Canadian would have approximately 16% more wealth under the no immigration scenario.

It would be interesting to see what Canadians today would prefer, a larger population or more wealth per person.

Benoit Côté -  June 5, 2018
Very interesting study which corresponds in big part to what we would anticipate as a NPO working with new comers. Our mission is to primarily help them to better integrate the society within the first months of their arrival in Canada. In order to help these new comers having a significant contribution to the socio-economic performance of Canada, we must provide more concrete programs to support them through this critical initial integration. This initial phase (installation, finding job, taking care of their family) is proven crucial to the quality and strength of their attachment to our society and their future contribution.
Hopefully your findings and recommendations will inspire our governments to put together more concrete programs to reach this objective.
Please pursue your excellent work.
Thanks!

An excellent piece of work, presented in an accessible language. It should inform policy makers and the Canadian public. Immigrants are an asset, not a burden.

Good overview of how immigrants (not just economic admissions, but also those of family and refugee classes) contribute to the economic growth in Canada.
