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 :
