A New Democrat government

contributions, and ties to Canada. We will

settlement services and improve foreign
credentials recognition.

Conservative
- Increase the number of points awarded for a job offer under the Express Entry Program.
- Match international students finished university with jobs.
- Provide new economic immigrants info about opportunities outside of urban centres.
- Rework the Temporary Foreign Workers Program.
To reduce duplication and ease the application process, we will create a trusted employer system so that companies do not have to constantly re-apply to the program. We will establish clear standards and timelines for Labour Market Impact Assessment processes and revise the zoning regions to make sure rural areas and tourism hotspots are not lumped into large geographic areas with urban hubs.
To ensure that those who enter Canada as low-skilled workers, as justified by concrete labour market data, are treated fairly, we will establish a path to permanence by allowing employers to sponsor applications for permanent residency. Immigration is good for the economy, good for jobs, and good for people who have chosen to come to Canada.
We will continue to monitor the Temporary Foreign Workers Program to ensure that it is achieving its intended results: supporting Canadian businesses with genuine labour needs, while also ensuring that Canadians get the first crack at jobs in our country.

grandparents, and take on the backlogs that
delay reunification for years.

As the world experiences an unprecedented
refugee crisis, Canada also has a vital role
to play in resettling people forced out of their
homes by conflict, persecution, and disasters.
But under the Liberal government, the backlog
of asylum seekers is set to more than double
in the next few years. A New Democrat
government will fix the system to get rid of
the backlog, and work with Canadians to
resettle refugees in our communities,
ensuring they are given the support they
need to build successful lives and new
homes here in Canada.
Liberal
Introduce a permanent, dedicated refugee stream for human rights advocates, journalists, and humanitarian workers at risk, resettling up to 250 people / year.
We don't have any PPC policies on Refugees.
