Canada’s new immigration policy favours construction workers but leaves the rest behind Recent immigration measures highlight deep inequalities in who gets recognized. An inclusive regularization strategy must go beyond sector-specific fixes.

Canada's new pathway to PR for migrant builders overlooks other essential workers. @shivasmohan.bsky.social explores this "hierarchy of deservingness" favouring industry needs over comprehensive recognition of all essential workers. 🔗: theconversation.com/canadas-new-...
