Canada is recognized as a global leader in immigration policy How has the landscape shifted and where do we stand today? Swipe to read excerpts from a new Migration Policy Institute country profile By Rupa Banerjee, Naomi Alboim, Anna Triandafyllidou and Georgiana Mathurin June 2025
58 per cent of Canadians believed immigration was too high in 2024 A 14-point increase since 2023 The sentiment appears to be driven by: - Economic anxieties - Housing shortages - Reduced confidence in immigration policy
Recent immigrants are still far more likely than their Canadian-born counterparts to be overqualified for their jobs Why? - Limited social and cultural capital - Limited/no Canadian work experience - Devaluation of foreign credentials - Decline of unionized jobs - Rise of precarious employment - Limited language proficiency For immigrants, this has resulted in: - Heightened job insecurity - Fewer opportunities for long-term career progression - Limited upward mobility

🆕After years of change, Canada’s #ImmigrationPolicy stands at a critical inflection point. A new @migrationpolicy.bsky.social country profile unpacks where we are and how we got here.

The Orwellian language of Trump in relation to #Ukraine and #Gaza and the 'solutions' proposed reminds me of another 'final solution': Hannah Arendt's analysis in "Eichmann in Jerusalem" about how such 'solutions' come to be.... We all have a responsibility to (re)act

www.migrationpolicy.org/article/trum... even if there are forces of resilience and resistance in the US, the undoing of the regional architecture on asylum and migration governance will lead to much higher human and material costs.
