Canadian Immigration policy is perceived as a model for OECD

On August 13, 2019, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada published a press release with a statement by Minister of Immigration, the Honourable Ahmed Hussen. The Minister stated: “We know that immigration spurs economic growth, helps address the challenges, in particular, labour shortages, our country faces with an ageing population, and plays a crucial role in attracting highly-skilled talent to keep our country at the forefront of the global economy.” A recent report by OECD entitled “Recruiting Immigrant Workers: Canada” declares that Canada serves as a role model for other countries in the migration management. Hussen, in particular, emphasized the success of Canada in Express Entry, the launch of the Atlantic Immigration Pilot, the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot, and the Agri-food Immigration Pilot, as well as Global Skills Strategy that attracted more than 40,000 top talents from all over the world.
