Immigration Consultation - Employers Need to Respond

Human Capital Law and Policy v1 n2

On August 29, 2011, the Federal Government, under Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney, launched an online public

consultation process seeking stakeholder input related to Canada’s immigration program. The consultation process provides an interesting starting point for a discussion of the policy considerations that underlie immigration to Canada and the nature of our current system. It also provides an impetus

for employers and business leaders to take an active role in shaping not only immigration policy, but the successful implementation of the policy.
