Canada’s immigration policy is still moving in the “wrong” direction and needs a course correction to achieve long-term prosperity instead of short-term labour market solutions, says a new report by C.D. Howe Institute.

“Canada must move from chasing numbers and pursuing short-term or non-economic objectives to focusing on skills,” C.D. Howe Institute senior policy analyst Parisa Mahboubi said in a Sept. 16 release on the report.
