dc.descriptionThis paper, authored by two MPPAL students, placed in the top 5 of the Canada School of Public Policy’s National Essay Competition.
dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this paper is to examine the downturn in public perception about Canada’s immigration policy and highlight policy adjustments to maintain economic growth while emphasizing the importance of integrating manageable levels of non-permanent residents (NPRs) into the socio-economic landscape. The current immigration policy is compromised by comprehensive population growth and the impact of significant numbers of NRPs, which have overextended segments of the economy and decreased GDP per capita. By addressing these issues, public reticence can be shifted, through forward-thinking policy designed to reduce numbers and sustain necessary immigration, to maintain a GDP growth of 1.5 – 1.7%.
