The Government of Canada has unveiled plan to recieve 1.45 million migrants from Nigeria and other countries of the world by 2025.
According to Canada’s 2023–2025 Immigration Levels Plan released on recently, the country wants to use immigration as a strategy to help businesses find workers.
Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, Sean Fraser, said the plan will attract the skills needed in major sectors like health care, manufacturing and technology.
He said: “Last year, we welcomed the most newcomers in a single year in our history. This year’s immigration levels plan will help businesses find the workers they need, set Canada on a path that will contribute to our long-term success, and allow us to make good on key commitments to vulnerable people fleeing violence, war and persecution.”
While reacting to the development, Executive Director of Canada’s Building Trades Union, Sean Strickland said: “Canada’s Building Trades Unions are pleased with today’s announcement to increase immigration levels in Canada. Historically it has been through immigration that we have been able to grow our workforce, fill our union halls and build Canada’s infrastructure.
“Increased economic immigration is an important step to addressing labour availability across the country and we look forward to continuing to work closely with Minister Fraser and the federal government to find the solutions we need going forward.”
