• Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
  Canada (IRCC) has launched their initiative An
  Immigration System for Canadas Future.
• The initiative provides Canadians and other
  stakeholders with the opportunity to share their
  ideas and perspectives on how Canada can build a
  stronger, more adaptive immigration system.
• The IRCC website explains that in order to
  support the Canadian economy and strengthen
  communities, it is essential to have immigration
  policies and programs that are modern, responsive
  to change, and aligned with Canadas social,
  economic and cultural needs. In order to do so,
  until April 2023, IRCC will be working with
  people across the country to collaborate on a
  vision for the future of Canadas immigration
  system.

• The initiative began in February with an
  in-person dialogue session in Halifax, which was
  chaired by Canadian Immigration Minister Sean
  Fraser.
• The IRCC press release contained information that
  the initiative is expected to involve more
  in-person dialogue sessions, as well as thematic
  workshops and a survey for the public and our
  clients.
• Today, IRCC made this survey available to the
  public. The survey invites people to share their
  thoughts about provide advice for the future of
  Canadian immigration.

What kinds of questions can I expect in the
survey?

• The survey begins with inquiring about your
  initial thoughts on the current immigration
  system in Canada. In particular, IRCC asks if you
  think that the Government of Canada is on the
  right track or wrong track in its management of
  immigration and your opinion on the number of
  immigrants coming to Canada.
• After responding to these questions, IRCC
  provides basic information about Canadas
  immigration system, including the distinct ways
  people interact with the Canadian immigration
  system and the policies and laws that shape this
  system. The survey continues by asking about the
  main challenges or gaps that are facing Canadas
  current immigration system and provide you with
  space to discuss your thoughts.
• When asking about the characteristics or
  qualities that describe what you would want
  Canadas immigration system to look like, the
  survey highlights important Canadian immigration
  trends.

• For example, Canada has an aging population.
  People in Canada are not having as many children,
  and soon immigration will account for 100 of
  population growth. In addition, many regions and
  industries in Canada are facing shortages of
  workers. Immigration and temporary foreign
  workers can help to meet future labour market
  needs.
• Population growth from immigration can add to
  these pressures but can also bring in workers to
  help sectors like construction and healthcare.
  Other trends discussed include how Canada can
  respond in a global humanitarian crisis, the
  fairness and transparency of the immigration
  system and how federal, provincial, and
  territorial stakeholders can be involved in
  selecting and settling newcomers.
• In considering these trends in your vision for
  Canadian immigration, you are asked about the
  changes that would need to happen to in order to
  make your vision a reality.
