Überhitztes Einwanderungssystem brauchte „Disziplin“: Minister

Highlights:

* An “overheated” immigration system that admitted record numbers of newcomers to the country has harmed Canada’s consensus on the benefits of immigration, Immigration Minister Marc Miller said in a year-end interview. He noted the system needs some discipline to get the country back on track.
* Record immigration levels pushed population growth up over 3% in 2023, twice what it has averaged over the previous decade.
* Miller said the souring of public opinion on immigration is rooted in a number of factors, including high rates of asylum seekers, the high cost of housing and political movements in the western world.
* The increase in the number of temporary workers is among the biggest issues that have emerged since the pandemic; the program grew so quickly it opened the door to fraud and exploitation of workers.
* Labour market impact assessments, necessary paperwork to help bring in a worker from overseas, also are worth a valuable 50 to 200 points in Canada’s points based express entry system for permanent residents. CBC recently published an investigation that uncovered those assessments being sold, sometimes for tens of thousands of dollars.
* “It’s being gamed and I think recognizing that there’s fraud that comes under different forms. I have a particular role in making sure that people aren’t leveraging that to get, for example, permanent residency,” Miller said.

The loopholes we intentionally created were used, and now that the public has noticed, we have to pretend to fix the problems we made with platitudes and half-gestures!

Its to depress wages and hide a recession.  Its good we are kicking these idiots out.
