Canada broke another record by welcoming 341,000 immigrants in 2019

[That Guy]

You've done nothing more than try and character assassinate me, and present false information.

First of all calm down, no need to get hyper.

No I did read your comments and thats why I not only highlighted IT but other struggling sectors too, which you conveniently ignored, bravo.

I am not using any anecdotes but just have shared true incidents and stores of people I know, its not my fault if you are not aware of such issues many are facing.

I know exactly what I am talking about, because I have been living in Canada for decades. Its just that, these are issue(s) many dont want to discuss and only paint the picture that Canada is "Jannat", which is not the case with every immigrant family.

As for "social welfare", again, you seems to naive & totally ignorant about this as well and are making yet another assumption. There is a cluster of building where I live, and in every building, there are immigrants who are on social welfare from many, many years. And this is my issue, many immigrants are not productive enough and become burden on social welfare system. Icing on the cake, many decided to many (4/5) kids and thats another way to get some cash coming. Again, you ignorance would let you see this, therefore your argument is complete nonsense, which doesn't look deep enough into the issue here.

Last but not the least, "doctors and engineers that come over need to do a 1 to 6 months long course", are you even serious? Engineers and doctors specially have to go through the toughest phase of their life's to get the license to work on Canada, which take NOT months but years (@jericho shared a great story). Again, what do they do to meet both ends in the meantime (they work as security guard, at grocery store or at some other random store)? Once again, you have a hollow understand of such matters and only scratching the surface. I dont when your father was immigrated and whats his profession but circumstances have significantly changed since he came and you are still stuck in the time frame.

More to the point, once a family is immigrated, then there are times when they had to burn their boats, therefore, immigration is not a joke (it seasy peasy for you to suggest them to go back). Of course, there are examples wherein people have to go back if they cant settled down after spending years.

And I wasnt referring to 300,000 as mass immigration, but the process itself.

If I'm hyper, then you're moving at the blink of an eye.

First, I did not ignore other industries, I specifically said that the only industry that currently suffering an oversaturation is the tech industry. Every other industry is doing just fine. Car manufacturing has run into some trouble, but even that's doing relatively well. But that's low skilled work, so you're contradicting yourself here, as you originally specifically ruled out low skilled work in your original two comments.


You sharing shit about people you know is literally anecdotal.

This is why I said you don't know what you're talking about.

I have lived in Canada for decades as well, and your logic doesn't apply to me, as I've never described Canada as being Jannat. I have on many o casions talked about problems in Canada.

Once again, what social welfare are you talking about? You keep talking about social welfare without mention what it specifically even is. Your comment is nonsense, and even more anecdotal.

No offense to him, but Jericho can have all the great stories he wants, still won't change anything...

Here is actual information about doctors immigrating to Canada, and what they have to do to get their license to be valid in Canada.

It's actually gotten easier for skilled immigrant workers to get licenses and permits in Canada than a few decades ago.

If you have a problem with this, take it up with immigration Canada, not me.

If you're a doctor, lawyer, or engineer, its unlikely you're burning any boat when you immigrate. You're probably already making good money, thus can afford to move without having to sell everything you own.

What does...

And I wasnt referring to 300,000 as mass immigration, but the process itself.

...Even mean? You're making a distinction here, without any real difference. YOU were thr one who mentioned mass immigration, when it came to this figure. YOU were the one to start getting upset when I pointed out that it's not mass immigration.

If this isn't mass immigration, then your entire argument is worthless, because your entire argument relies on this particular figure being considered mass immigration.

The guy is naive & completely ignorant about many issues, which are deep rooted and you only come to know when you face these issues and meet people who are facing those.

If I'm naive, you're foolish. Scratch that, you're foolish anyway, considering you think facts are the same thing as feelings. I don't give a damn how many people you've met, or how much experience you have, that doesn't change facts.

2 plus 2 doesn't automatically become 10, just because everyone you talked to told you this.

He sounds a like typical example of second generation who's parents were immigrants and fortunately he didnt have to gone through the struggling phase, which many immigrants had to do. Icing on the cake, there are many contradictions in his statements and only scratching the surface of the issues here.

I'm a first gen immigrant, but sure, you can keep trying to assassinate my character, because you can't back your own arguments.

There are ZERO contradictions in my comments. If there was even a single one, your pity behavior would have pointed them out. I invite you do so anyway.

Regarding doctors requiring 1 to 6 months course :
"Finally, in 2004, almost nine years and 15 exams later, Bashir got closer to practising here as a doctor. He secured a residency at McMaster. It was what he had always wanted, but he says, “I am 33. I’ve lost nine years—almost a third of my life.”
Foreign doctors can compete with Canadian medical school graduates for residency positions, but in order to do so, they have to register with CaRMS. And there is a catch: Foreign doctors will only be considered after Canadian-trained graduates have found residency positions"
https://www.readersdigest.ca/health/healthy-living/why-canada-shutting-out-doctors/

In the below video at the end a City Councillor said "infrequency of test and lack of hospital residencies that are made available to foreign trained doctors. We have over 1700 doctors who passed all the test but only 350 doctors got residency"

"The numerous, onerous bureaucratic hurdles medical professionals trained in other countries must clear before being allowed to work, including the payment of tens of thousands of dollars for regulatory checks and certificates, has created a ludicrous situation in which highly qualified staff are not being permitted to assist Canada’s overstretched hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities, even as the pandemic surges."

https://canadianvisa.org/blog/immigration/canadian-immigration-for-doctors

You mentioned doctors in the list of shortage in one post and another post later said health care makes it worth it, sounds contradicting, no?

How is that a contradiction? Just because there a shortage of medical professionals in Canada, doesn't mean universal health suddenly doesn't exist anymore.

A shortage also doesn't mean nonexistent. Your requirement for worker can be 10 people, but if you have 8 people working, it's not a massive, bankruptcy inducing shortage.

Considering del likes to use anecdotes so much, allow me to use one as well. The hospital I currently volunteer at has a massive immigrant staff. Most of the doctors, and around half of the nursing staff are immigrants. While this isn't proof of anything, it does show that immigrant doctors aren't being rejected on mass, like del seems to be suggesting.

Regarding engineers :
Is this requirement something those engineers find out after the move to the country and not able to find jobs or is this requirement mentioned before they get the immigration? Also, assuming someone is able to pass whatever course you are referring to practice the profession, it doesn't address the other aspect of working which is availability of jobs (i think the main point of the user @Del) or hiring practices

THE FIRST PART, it depends on if the immigrant did his research or not. My father knew about it, but I personally know some people who didn't. However, what the over all statistic is, I don't know.

Each profession has it's own requirements, and while I don't know details for every single one, I do know that my father's profession required a month long training program with an exam at the end. Mind you, this was decades ago. For doctors, the training program that I know of through a friend was mostly language aptitude classes, and knowledge tests, which took a few months.

Second part, there are plenty of jobs available for high skilled workers, I don't think anyone can reasonably dispute that fact.

There are ZERO contradictions in my comments. If there was even a single one, your pity behavior would have pointed them out. I invite you do so anyway.

I revisited all of my posts but failed to understand where have I offended your or did character assassination. But nevertheless if my posts have hurt you or I did your character assassination, as you have claimed, then I wouldn't shy to apologize. This was not my intention at all.

The thing is, you are adamant that there are job crisis and immigrants have to face uphill task in order to get to work in their respective line of field. Some are able to find their dream job, but many dont. And I personally know people belong from both groups. So my approach is more practical compared to yours, because by now, I am very certain that you havent met struggling immigrants, which is a bit shocking to me, but anyways.

That said, there are different sectors wherein people struggle to find jobs as I have already mentioned and I am skeptical that anything has changed. More to the point, since you are bent upon healthcare, more specifically "doctors" and you also provided a link, which illustrate steps that Intl physician's have to follow who come to Canada, did you even bother going though it once? (asking for a reason...) Lets pretend that you did, but then the link only provides steps (wherein I failed to see 1-6 months, which you mentioned earlier, so a clear contradiction here) and nowhere it mentions that how difficult those steps will be and if there is any limit in order to get the license (For MCCQE Part II, one has got only 4 attempts to clear).

Doctors actually do need to follow certain stipulation and afterwards they need to first clear MCCQE Part I and only then they will be eligible MCCQE Part II. Not let me throw a curveball at you, what these "doctor's" supposed to do to feed their families and meet both the ends in the meantime? Have you ever think about that (this is why I said that your approach is impractical & unrealistic)? Mind you, there are only FOUR attempts you can make for these exams and its not a walk in the park to clear those. And again, these stipulation take more than 1 to 6 months and sames goes for other professionals including engineer's, pharmacist and Teachers (at this point, I can comfortably say that you know zilch about it).

I am not saying all this, following sources do.

Now coming on immigration, a majority agree that they would like to see tighter border controls that allow fewer immigrants into Canada. And similar proportion agrees that Canada is too welcoming to immigrants (Only fewer than half believes that immigration is good for the economy of Canada). Their concern is (which is valid, I've the opinion) that immigration has placed too much pressure on public services in Canada (for example, health, transport, educational services).

Hope you are able to understand the issue with immigration/mass immigration now. I am not paddling in these on my own, provided references are vouching what I have been saying for so long.

Last but not the least, "social welfare", which has been abused by many, locals includes (not only immigrants), simply because in many cases social assistance disincentivize people from working. Govt has taken many initiative and there are fraud investigation going. That said, why am I concern? because I pay truckload of money in form of taxes and it makes my blood boil if that money goes in wrong hands.

Oh and btw: you know Govt gives money for kids, there are many immigrants who are using it as a tool to earn more (many immigrants have 4/5 kids). Social welfare + Kids money = perfect combo, #with_all_these_peerks_who_needs_to _work?

Again, these are heavy doses facts, neither there is any conspiracy theory here nor I am fabricating these from my basement office.

So for nth time, I know exactly I am talking about, not using any anecdotes whatsoever and speaking from personal experiences and have provided enough references to back my claims.

What the resolution? As I said earlier, in an ideal world, as you said ,Canada should get more students, who can go to school first, then get some Canadian experience (as co-op students or as volunteer) and then they can simulate into the workforce.

Thanks for sharing this. In the link itself it says "one year" so the step 3 is already more than the 1-6 months you mentioned earlier
STEP 3: Pass a one year post graduate program under a medical authority in the province
Another thing is that although this website you mentioned have listed the steps, to what extent these steps are practiced or applicable to every individual is another thing altogether. I have shared 3 links in my previous post which highlighted the problem, so IMO just because there are steps outline (like the link you posted) it doesn't mean that there isn't any issues, as I mentioned in the previous post with examples including the Aljazeera video which had an interview with a city official (not sure if you saw those).

How is that a contradiction? Just because there a shortage of medical professionals in Canada, doesn't mean universal health suddenly doesn't exist anymore.

A shortage also doesn't mean nonexistent. Your requirement for worker can be 10 people, but if you have 8 people working, it's not a massive, bankruptcy inducing shortage.

If you have 8 out of 10 people then probably its not massive shortage but when I was going through some news about it (posted some of the news in my previous reply) I saw one which said there was a lot of shortage and how many people don't have their own doctor.

THE FIRST PART, it depends on if the immigrant did his research or not. My father knew about it, but I personally know some people who didn't. However, what the over all statistic is, I don't know.

Actually, if its something that requires research, that means it wasn't a requirement I think. A requirement is something one has to pass before getting something, so if those individuals did not know (everyone have different capacities in terms of how much they can research or find the proper source of their info) that means it was not part of their process to move to the country.

If you're a doctor, lawyer, or engineer, its unlikely you're burning any boat when you immigrate. You're probably already making good money, thus can afford to move without having to sell everything you own.

I don't know if you are joking or not but I hope you are aware that people in different country/society do not make the same amount of money. Engineers in developing world are not always driving around luxury cars or anything. Doctors might make better income (depend on their local currency) and while not everyone have to burn their boats, it would be ridiculous to think that every immigrant can just pack their bags and leave easily back to wherever they come from.

God, I really hate being on mobile.

You haven't really proven anything with this comment. The only thing I got wrong is the 1-6 months, it's actually 1 month to 1 year, depending on the field of work. Still, not much of a difference. Also, 4 attempts should be plenty, if you believe you're qualified. There is not a single contradiction, even accounting for my mistake. Just like anecdotes, you don't know what contradiction means.



Regarding social welfare, when it comes to child benefits, which you mentioned, you don't get much, so even if you're somehow defrauding the system, it's not like you're making thousands a month in profit. Children are expensive.

Again, what social welfare programs are you talking about? You keep saying social welfare, but you aren't being specific.

I really don't care about opinion polls. Facts don't change, just because a majority believes otherwise.

I dont want an apology from you, I want you to stop presenting your personal opinions and experiences are as good as facts. I dont care how many people you know that you've shared experiences with, that doesn't change factual information.

Thanks for sharing this. In the link itself it says "one year" so the step 3 is already more than the 1-6 months you mentioned earlier

I never said there aren't issues, but you're right about the one year. However, that doesn't change my main point, even if we change that to 1 year.

If you have 8 out of 10 people then probably its not massive shortage but when I was going through some news about it (posted some of the news in my previous reply) I saw one which said there was a lot of shortage and how many people don't have their own doctor.

A lot of people dont have family doctors, and family doctors aren't a requirement to get universal healthcare. For the longest time, I didn't have a family doctor either, I just used walk in clinics to get my prescriptions, physical checks...etc.

Actually, if its something that requires research, that means it wasn't a requirement I think. A requirement is something one has to pass before getting something, so if those individuals did not know (everyone have different capacities in terms of how much they can research or find the proper source of their info) that means it was not part of their process to move to the country.

That's not a good argument to make. You may be a doctor, but that doesn't automatically mean you have to use Visas specifically meant for medical personnel. You can come over with a normal Visa, and go from there.

I don't know if you are joking or not but I hope you are aware that people in different country/society do not make the same amount of money. Engineers in developing world are not always driving around luxury cars or anything. Doctors might make better income (depend on their local currency) and while not everyone have to burn their boats, it would be ridiculous to think that every immigrant can just pack their bags and leave easily back to wherever they come from.

You also have to account for cost of living between the two nations, but that's another argument altogether. By the way, doctors and engineers aren't driving luxury cars here either. I volunteer at a hospital, which has reserved spots for doctors, and they drive pretty cheap cars. Hyundai Tucsons, Honda Civics, Toyota Corollas, so basically budget brands.

I'm also not talking about every single immigrant, I'm specifically talking about skilled laborers, which is what this argument is about. A lot of skilled laborers tend to have an easier time immigrating than non skilled workers, that's just how it is.

This is good information, and must be tough on those people to have advanced degrees but had to be in taxi industry (nothing wrong with driving taxi itself, just that if someone did higher education they most likely would want to work in the field they studied in).

CIC News / 2020 / March / Canada to welcome up to 390,000 immigrants in 2022
Canada to welcome up to 390,000 immigrants in 2022Details of Canada's 2020-2022 Immigration Levels Plan have just been announced
March 12, 2020 By Kareem El-Assal, Shelby Thevenot, Mohanad Moetaz And Alexandra Miekus

16kShares
Canada will welcome more than one million new permanent residents in the next three years.

This was unveiled today in the federal government’s 2020-2022 Immigration Levels Plan.

Canada continues its approach to gradually increase immigration levels. This is likely to give stakeholders time to adequately plan to support a larger population.

Whereas Canada welcomed 320,000 newcomers in 2018, and 341,000 immigrants in 2019, it is again targeting the admissions of 341,000 immigrants in 2020.

It is aiming to welcome an additional 351,000 in 2021, and another 361,000 in 2022. The plan provides Canada with the scope to welcome up to 390,000 immigrants in 2022.

The most significant revelation from the announcement is Canada’s target for 2022 since today is the first time such information has become publicly available.

In 2017, Canada reintroduced multi-year levels plans after the first attempt between 1982-1984 was disrupted by a recession.

The return to multi-year plans is meant to help stakeholders such as urban planners forecast what steps they need to take to support the economic and social integration of newcomers.

Find out if you are eligible for any Canadian immigration programs

The higher levels are meant to alleviate the economic and fiscal pressures Canada is facing due to its aging population and low birth rate. More than 9 million Canadians will reach retirement age in the next decade which means Canada will become even more dependent on immigrants to maintain a healthy workforce and economy.

Economic class to lead the way
Canada will continue to admit the balance of its newcomers under the economic class, with 58 per cent set to arrive through the likes of Express Entry programs, the Provincial Nominee Program, Quebec’s programs, and other federal streams such as the Atlantic Immigration Pilot (AIP). Most of the growth will come from the economic class, as its target is going to rise by nearly 10,000 immigrants each year.

Compared with 2019, the government is increasing its PNP admission target by 20 per cent in 2022. Canada is also slated to welcome more immigrants under various pilots. It is aiming to welcome 5,200 under pilots such as the Agri-Food Immigration Pilot and the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot. It may end up nearly doubling its intake under these pilots by 2022.

Although the AIP is set to become a permanent program, the federal government is keeping its AIP targets stable at 5,000 during the plan.

Quebec’s levels are yet to be determined for 2021 and 2022, as the federal government waits to consult with Quebec in light of the major reforms the province is currently undertaking to its immigration system.

In addition, 26 per cent will be welcomed under the family class, while the remaining 16 per cent will be admitted on humanitarian and compassionate grounds. There will be no growth under the family class. The government has set the same target for family class immigration of 91,000 newcomers over the coming three years. There will be minimal growth for those admitted for humanitarian and compassionate purposes.

Canada’s immigration levels: Past, present and future
Canada’s current immigration levels are high by historical standards. The country has welcomed 300,000 immigrants or more just five times since its founding back in 1867. On a per-capita basis, Canada’s levels are also high, as it is now welcoming 0.9 per cent of its population in immigrants. By way of comparison, the United States has welcomed an average of one million immigrants annually in recent times. However, that figure represents just 0.3 per cent of its population.

On the other hand, Canada’s current per capita intake is by no stretch the highest in its history. In the decades leading up to the First World War, Canada regularly welcomed at least one per cent of its population in immigrants. At its peak, Canada welcomed 401,000 immigrants or 5.3 per cent of its population. In modern terms, a 5.3 per cent intake would mean welcoming two million immigrants to Canada.

Canada continues to increase its immigration levels to support its high living standards. The aging of its society will weaken labour force and economic growth as its fiscal costs in areas such as health care rise. Delivering quality health care to its aging population will become even more expensive. Immigration will help to grow the size of Canada’s labour force, giving Canada a steady supply of people to contribute to its economy as workers, consumers, and taxpayers.

Today’s announcement is part of a broader trend that will likely see Canada continue to boost immigration and eventually break the 400,000-newcomer threshold. The country is poised to welcome some 3.5 million immigrants this decade, compared with 2.8 million between 2010-2019.

All told, however, demographic and economic circumstances are just one of the six factors that will shape the future of Canada’s immigration levels.

By November, the Canadian government will table its next immigration levels plan, which may contain its target for 2023.

why?

Because it's the right thing .. you people are more westerners than easterners.. west world is the right place for you.
you don't know how to integrate in middle east and you gained all the hatred.
a country for you or place for you in Canada or Europe is the right thing for both you and us.

Pakistan needs to make an effort to get as many qualified Pakistanis to Canada. Partnering with Canadian towns and cities to identify what type of workers they need, and training people in those skills will go a long way to providing opportunities for at least a few thousand Pakistanis every year.

The Philippines exports a lot of mid-level workers, studying how they do it can open up opportunities for people not trained in IT or medicine. It may also allow people’s degrees earned in Pakistan to be accredited more easily if they go into a field and to a town that really needs them. although it will have to be a personal decision by anyone that wants to go through with it. They may have to struggle for limited reward in their own lives but a good future for their kids.

teaching in rural places is one profession that may appeal to some, but the struggle will be real. Isolation in a foreign land and foreign culture. Having lived in small town America for a number of years, I can tell you that it can be tough even if you live in an accepting community and only have to do it for a few years before moving to where you want to live eventually.

At the end of the day, even moving to the larger cities will be hard, due to the cost of living there.

God, I really hate being on mobile.

You haven't really proven anything with this comment. The only thing I got wrong is the 1-6 months, it's actually 1 month to 1 year, depending on the field of work. Still, not much of a difference. Also, 4 attempts should be plenty, if you believe you're qualified. There is not a single contradiction, even accounting for my mistake. Just like anecdotes, you don't know what contradiction means.

Regarding social welfare, when it comes to child benefits, which you mentioned, you don't get much, so even if you're somehow defrauding the system, it's not like you're making thousands a month in profit. Children are expensive.

Again, what social welfare programs are you talking about? You keep saying social welfare, but you aren't being specific.

I really don't care about opinion polls. Facts don't change, just because a majority believes otherwise.

I dont want an apology from you, I want you to stop presenting your personal opinions and experiences are as good as facts. I dont care how many people you know that you've shared experiences with, that doesn't change factual information.

Now you are just acting like a typical stubborn posters, who even doesnt acknowledge the given FACT's, however, it doesnt change the brutal reality about the job market and struggle of immigrants in Canada - nothing left to prove here at all.

You comments about the doctor's are totally laughable and tells how novice you are in this domain. Majority of foreign doctors are in taxi and other similar businesses for a reason. Your option wouldn't change this fact, but again, continue to be adamant.

Go and educate yourself first about "social welfare assistance" program of Canada and then come back for a valid debate, because there is no substance in your argument after my last post. Also, educate yourself on how much parents get for each kid, because again and again your comments are revealing that you know zilch about this matter and its related frauds and scams. You are just clutching the straws, carry on.

And as for the polls, who cares about your opinion? You opinion doesnt change what majority of Canadian's want.

I am not shoving my opinion of anybody's throat. This is a public forum, where we come to raise our voice. I expressed my opinion based on things around me, based on personal experience and facts. If you dont like and dont want to admit about the issues of Canada then why bother quoting me back? Just ignore me and move on, whats the big deal?

This is good information, and must be tough on those people to have advanced degrees but had to be in taxi industry (nothing wrong with driving taxi itself, just that if someone did higher education they most likely would want to work in the field they studied in).

Thank you for being sensible (which is a rare commodity these days) and see the pain of these highly qualified individuals.
