Higher Immigration Goals Set By Canadian Province Quebec

When immigration had to be put on halt because of the COVID-19 pandemic, many countries including Canada also had to put a halt to bringing in new immigrants. This was because countries needed to enforce strict lockdowns and ban all non-essential travel. People were not allowed outside of their homes and had to learn to deal with not being able to physically be with their friends and family who do not live with them.

 

That was a year ago and things have definitely changed. Some lockdowns have been lifted and Canada is surely making sure that it gets right back on its feet. One of the major things that the government of this country is doing is making sure that it brings in the needed amount of new immigrants as it had been doing before the pandemic struck. And one of its provinces, Quebec, is making sure that it gets the immigrants it needs. In fact, the province’s government has shared recently that it is setting a higher goal for immigration which is going to definitely help a lot with its goal.

 

Bringing in more immigrants

 

This province has definitely been one of the places in Canada that has really felt the lack of new immigrants, who have been very helpful in keeping businesses running and helping the economy. That is why this Canadian province is doing the best that it can to make sure that it is able to reverse any of the adverse effects that the lockdowns have brought.

 

Nadine Girault is the immigration minister of Quebec and she recently mentioned during a press conference done online that the province had fallen short of around 18,000 new immigrants last year because of the pandemic. That is why it is doing the best that it can to make sure that the needed numbers are filled up this time around. Girault also continued that the government is looking at various scenarios on how Quebec would be able to achieve this and one of the ways that they have decided on was to increase the number of immigrants this year.

 

Recognizing the importance of immigration

 

Just like many other places in Canada, Quebec has seen the importance of immigrants and that is why its government is doing the best that it can to be able to bring in all of the needed immigrants that it has not been able to do last year. The government of Quebec has also shared that it knows that immigrants are a necessity in the province and they are doing the best that they can to make sure that the flow of immigrants to their territory goes faster than usual to help with the shortage in labor that Quebec is currently facing.
