"Immigration" debates that only focus on permanent newcomers are myopic.
The stunning trends in CDA's reliance on the temporary are embarrassing.

"Ironically, admitting more immigrants may be the surest path to a more equitable recovery"
"Though hard to imagine right now, we will soon be looking at widespread labour shortages"
So will every other rich nation dealing with population aging. Expect competition for newcomers!

Recipe for more immigration: More transitioning of temporary residents to permanent residents, please @marcomendocino.
Reverse these trends, that only started mid 2000s, and which defy one of foundations on which Canada became the 10th largest economy in the world: immigration.

Permanent residents have a stake in building a better life. They don't just come here to fill employer-defined labour and skills shortages, but because they want a better life for themselves and their children.
They work it, building and creating Canada in the process.

Temporary residents come to work and study here. (#s don't include visitors).
International students and many migrant workers literally pay for the chance to be here.
Some don't want to stay but many do, and many wd be #ModelCitizens. But paths to permanence are limited.

"Let’s not look at the immigration story with our eyes wide shut. How we live with others will define the labour market, society, and future of Canada."
Use the commitment to up immigration to shift the titres of temporary and permanent newcomers.
