The Call For Restoration Of 50,000 Target For Immigration In Quebec, Canada

In Quebec, Canada, the local government has put into action a plan that they had been working on for quite some time. This plan was to lessen the amount of immigrants that the province would be accepting for each year. According to the government of Quebec, they are doing this because they believe that by having a lesser amount of immigrants coming in the province, they would be able to help out the previous immigrants would be able to integrate well in the new society and new community that they are in.

A new study that has been done by a think tank had shown that this is really, in any way, not quite real. There is really no evidence that would support this claim from the local government of Quebec in Canada. As per the results of this study, the think tank is urging the Quebec government to bring back the original target of immigrants in the province to 50,000 for each year. As it seems, the immigrants are able to integrate well in society and the lesser number really does not make any kind of difference to how well they or how poor they are able to achieve this.

The study that was done

The Institut de recherche et d’informations socio-économiques in Canada (which is also known as the IRIS) is the group behind the study. This is an independent group and does not rely on other organizations or groups when it comes to the studies that they do. With the study that they had done, the IRIS has a contention on the local government of Quebec’s move to lessen the annual amount of people coming to the province. Currently the target for this year is 40,000 immigrants. The contention of the IRIS is that there is no scientific evidence that the immigrants are unable to integrate well.

The group is also not agreeing with how the government of Quebec is putting on hold a good number of applications that they have already received. A good example would be the applications that have come in for the Quebec Skilled Worker Program. There is said to be more than 18,000 of these applications that are still pending since the province is still trying to work out their laws on immigration.

The other side of the story

According to the local government of Quebec, their reason for lowering the number of immigrants to the province is that some of the immigrants lack the needed qualifications that should allow them to integrate well in the new society that they would be living with. Among those qualifications would be their mastery of the French language, as well as their levels of educational attainments. The local government has also said that there are also applicants who have not been able to fulfill the requirements set by the government to become immigrants.
