An Opportunity to Develop Collaborative Solutions to Collective Problems

Despite the ongoing debates regarding optimal immigration levels and strategy for Canada, the economic and social well-being of communities nationwide are closely linked to the successful settlement outcomes of newcomers.

At this critical moment, society is gaining momentum in exploring innovative measures to address challenges in affordability and public services. However, the tendency among governments to treat immigrant settlement, health, and housing as separate policy areas risks missing opportunities to include newcomers, especially those at the intersections of various marginalized identities. Collaboration across all levels of government and ministerial portfolios is crucial to link agendas and involve a wide range of partners in developing comprehensive initiatives that ensure inclusivity.

Immigration benefits private sector entities not only by addressing labour shortages but also by the diversification of skills and perspectives, fostering innovation and economic growth.
