Rearranging the Deck Chairs? A Critical Examination of Canada’s Shifting (Im)migration Policies

Resumen

This article explores the recent shifts in directions in immigration policy, from nation builders (permanent residents)
to economic units (temporary workers), in response to the challenge of matching the selection process to the labour
market and the labour market’s failure to fully utilize many of Canada’s more skilled immigrants. Through an
exploration of some of the policy changes that have taken place in Canada over the past 10 years, and the reasons
policies have shifted, this article concludes that (im)migration policies are being revised and changed to address
problems that are not fully understood. Without proper evaluation of current and past policies, such policy changes
blur our understanding of where the gaps and issues lie in the system and how to address the real needs.
