Rejoice! Visas to Canada, Now Made Easy
Canada will need newcomers after Coronavirus Pandemic, immigration minister says
The role immigrant labor is playing to keep the country moving during the COVID-19 pandemic is proof of why robust immigration must continue in the aftermath, federal Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino said Friday.
While the health and safety of Canadians must be assured before the doors of the country can be opened as widely again, they will be, Mendicino said.
He believes Canadians would want it that way.
“Immigration is fundamentally about people coming together to build a stronger country, and that is an enduring value that I believe in, that I have faith in Canadians that they believe in, that we will see endure long after COVID-19 is behind us,” he said in an interview with The Canadian Press.
Just as the COVID-19 pandemic was beginning to force travel bans and border shutdowns in March, Mendicino had released the Liberals’ next three-year plan for immigration.
