Canada falling behind in successfully integrating immigrants
Quote:
Canada is taking a step back on immigration policy, according to the Migrant Integration Policy Index (MIPEX), released yesterday.
Canada scored 68 out of a possible 100 points for 2014, which is a four-point decline from the score of 72 it received in 2011, and dropped Canada out of the top five countries in integrating immigrants. The
report examines if policies provide equal rights, opportunity and support for immigrants.
“Canada has undergone several restrictions in recent years that all together sent Canada in the opposite direction,” the report stated. These restrictions include: greater processing times for permanent
resident applications, restrictions and documentation burdens to become Canadian citizens and restrictions on reuniting dependent family members.
