They create jobs for sizable Canadians, making them self-reliant and adding to the country’s economy. The prevalent pandemic situation has created the need to rethink ways to attract immigrants so that economic recovery Canada roadmap can be chalked out with added conviction.
Recently, the country has devised an immigration plan aimed to bring
about 1.2 million permanent residents to the country by 2024. This plan is
believed to be an effective driver of the country’s economic growth.

Further, creating a welcoming atmosphere for the immigrants is a burning issue to address for Canada that is going the hardships like:
- a. Rising cost of houses: The country needs to prepare to provide affordable housing solutions to the newcomers that may need living at a budget in the initial days. Who to cater on priority, retiring Canadians or working immigrants – is not an easy question to answer.
- b. Costly devices: The surge in price of communications devices and internet connectivity solutions may prove another barrier.

Canada has always been a preferred destination for education. All Canadian universities are reeling under the impact of Covid-19. They also look up to the Government and its immigration policies to encourage people to study in Canada.
Another factor to consider will be the gap in education and job availability.

The authorities are serious about revaluation of foreign accreditations and contemplating the points like giving the educated people the well-deserved Canada jobs.
Immigrants do bring along healthy competition, and to keep it healthy, ample job opportunities should be rolled out. Authorities claim that there is no dearth of opportunities, it is just that perspective needs to be molded to make it more accommodating towards immigrants.
