According to estimates released last week by Statistics Canada, the Carney government is making progress on one of its immigration goals – reversing the enormous run-up in the country’s temporary resident population.
However, though the government appears to be making headway in terms of lowering immigration numbers back to historical levels, it’s a very different story when it comes to raising quality.
Ottawa also needs to take steps to ensure that the population drop reported by Stastcan is real, and not a statistical mirage.
Yup it’s a mirage.
