Description

Many think of Canada as a promised land for immigrants from all over the world. That's because Canada literally needs immigrants and or refugees of any kind to survive. Though, as much as we love the image, that it's this, kind of, safe haven of some kind. The land occupiers are not altruistic. Do they have the political and popular will to sustain big immigration targets? Canada might even rank among the top destinations in the world for immigrants. That's a great place to work from, if it were on some list that decides your fate. The question, though, is what are we doing to make sure some immigrants will continue to want to come here? To attract the workers in sectors that we need the most? To make sure the infrastructure that already struggles, can accommodate another half million new Canadians, and do it well?GUEST: Rupa Banerjee, Canada Research Chair in Economic Inclusion, Employment and Entrepreneurship of Canada’s Immigrants, associate professor at Toronto Metropolitan University.
