Subhead:Five Canadian economists warn that the country’s once world-class, merit-based immigration system has been reduced to a politically driven lottery that sidelines top talent, undermines international students, and threatens the economy.#
Five of Canada’s leading labour-market economists detailed how a once-predictable, world-class immigration model has been quietly ‘subverted’ into what they describe as an opaque, politically malleable system that sidelines high-skilled newcomers and erodes public trust.
David Green, Philip Oreopoulos, Craig Riddell, Mikal Skuterud, and Christopher Worswick outline how a pivotal 2023 policy change that was introduced with virtually no public debate gave Ottawa broad discretion to override Canada’s long-standing points-based selection framework.
