A new report detailed in the article below warns of a potential flood of migrants to Canada as other countries tighten restrictions. This is quite obvious, as Canada fails to link immigration to the labour market in a consistent fashion. Canada needs people who are young, entrepreneurial, have capital and know-how for innovation and technological advance, and will revitalize our lagging entrepreneurial sector, not those whose only concern is how much they can extract from our naive policies, that does nothing for our future. It is time for a realignment of priorities in our immigration policy and to reward those who have potential for success, not to prop up failure out of a sense of guilt. Thousands of potential immigrants are discouraged and chose other countries because Canada fails to recognize that capital and knowledge are the cornerstones of our future, and even after migrating to Canada, eventually leave for the US or go back to their countries such as India or China, where opportunities are now abundant. We are left with those who become a burden to taxpayers because they can't find a job, do not have the skills for our economic needs, do not have the necessary English or French language skills (a huge career-killer according to all studies) . and eventually end up unhappy, on welfare, or underemployed.
