Can Immigration Solve Canada's Labour Shortages? | The Agenda

The Canadian economy is facing critical labour market shortages causing uncertainty for Canadian businesses and workers. Can Canada’s 2023-2025 Immigration Levels Plan which seeks to welcome 1.45 million new permanent residents in Canada over the next three years, be key to solving this problem? And does Canada have adequate structures in place to insure that these newcomers thrive in their new home?
With us to discuss:
Rebekah Young, Vice President, Head of Inclusion and Resilience Economics at Scotiabank
Rupaleem Bhuyan, Associate Professor of Social Work at the University of Toronto and member of the Rights of Non-Status Women Network
Lev Abramovich, immigration lawyer at Abramovich and Tchern
