IMMIGRATNTS NOT DOING WELL

More evidence that immigrants are not adapting to the new economic realities is surfacing almost daily. The Chief Economist at TD Canada Trust said that immigrants are becoming a liability for the Canadian economy rather than an asset. This is because Canada is admitting immigrants with the wrong skill set that the economy needs. I have been saying for years that we need radical changes: younger immigrants, not older; priority for those who are readily employable, not for those for whom we feel sorry; involve employers in the selection process and make them commit to hire those immigrants they select; and expect from immigrants that they will work in any available jobs and not become a burden to social services. We need more engineers and technicians and fewer PhDs in Philosophy. See story :
