About the presentation:

 

The Government of Canada announced its biggest-ever immigration plan, with 500,000 Permanent Residents (PRs) and 50,000 refugees arriving in 2024-25. Yet this number doesn't scratch the surface of Canada's increasingly complex and byzantine immigration system, comprising Temporary Foreign Workers, International Students, asylum seekers, Ukrainian CUAET visa holders, and many others. This discussion will delve into the intricate challenges embedded in Canada’s immigration system.  It will scrutinize issues such as systemic bias, the need for a more culturally responsive framework, and reducing barriers.  Join us in envisioning what an inclusive immigration system in Canada can look like.
