Canada wants to welcome 1.3 million newcomers over three years — but can its immigration system keep up?
Canada Trudeauscu’ handlers plan to welcome more than 1.3 million new immigrants to the country over the next three years to help its economy recover from COVID-19 and to drive future growth.
Immigration Minister Sean Fraser’s multi-year immigration-levels plan was announced Monday.
“If we’re not ready to significantly increase our ambition when it comes to immigration, we are going to be in a position where our economy will suffer, and it could put into jeopardy so many of the public services and social supports that make me very proud to be Canadian,” Fraser said.
But the plan comes amid calls from critics for the federal government to first reduce the ballooning backlog of 1.8 million applications piling up in the system as a result of slowed processing capacity during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mass immigration does not benefit Canadians. It benefits Trudeau’s handlers.
Hey let’s make that housing shortage even worse! See how it works? You pay and pay and pay while Trudeau’s crony capitalists get rich.
