Canada has approved a legislation which denies work to 300,000 immigrant professionals awaiting evaluation of their employment applications since 2008.
Criticising the move, several immigration specialized lawyers alleged that the regulation which was approved last month will leave the immigrants out after the country “forced” them to wait for almost 10 years with a promise to evaluate their cases.
According to the lawyers, the Canadian authorities will refuse those employment applications although in 2003 the Federal Court underrated a similar legislative project against 100,000 applicants.
The new measure does not agree with the supposed facilities that Ottawa grants the qualified immigrants to be living in the country and help develop the national economy, because of its population’s fast aging.
Every year that nation receives at least 250,000 foreigners in search of labour opportunities.
According to a recent survey by companies Ipsos Laughs and Postmedia News, in 2031 the immigration will be responsible for 80 per cent of the demographic increase in Canada.
“Without a constant immigration or a substantial increase in the indexes of fertility, the reproductive growth could be zero in 20 years,” said the study that interviewed 1,101 people in the whole country from June 20 to June 25.

Canada has been luring highly educated people to migrate without telling them that
there are serious barriers for immigrants to resume their professions here. Many work in retail, transport, or hospitality to survive. Evaluation of foreign credentials have been delayed over forty years. Some immigrants manage to write professional exams and set up services. Others fall in the cracks try to support families and focus on educating their children. Educated people in Canada needs to be honest with immigrants. There are opportunities here for some categories of and engineers and skilled technicians and the oil and gas field. Indians who are doing well or even getting by, are better off trying other countries. Now immigrants have to be proficient in English or French to get landed immigrant
status. Be ready for further education here. There is an anti-non-European immigrant sentiment in this country under the Conservative government. If you have lots of money, the doors are wide open.
U agree with Rakesh, and am pleasantly surprised that a fellow Indian
had the daring to speak the truth. If we were at the receiving end,
with hundreds of thousands of migrants coming over for job opportunities, and we had rigorously enforced "immigrant welfare" laws
so that they get state benefits whenever they are not "meaningfully
employed", we'd want them out of the country as well! In this age of
unmanageable population growth and depleted resources, being a Good Samaritan comes at a cost. A country's citizens should not be legally
forced to pay that cost when it becomes unmanageable. India is for
Indians first and foremost. Similarly Canada is for Canadians first
and foremost.
Before you write anything "inside quotes" please know the facts. The immigrants who are
jobless are on welfare, which means that they get $3000 per month from the government.
This is taken from tax payer dollars and given to them no questions asked.
