Quebec looks to Immigrant Workers

Political parties agree that immigrants are needed to their workforce, the Liberals want to increase the annual target to 60,000 immigrants a year from the present 46,000, but the Action démocratique du Québec points out that Quebec isn’t reaching its present target and isn’t doing enough to keep people who come to Quebec from moving on to another province.

The province needs to welcome more immigrants and help them better integrate into Quebec society, integration means employment.

Quebec has the the highest rate of unemployed immigrants in Canada. About 18 per cent of immigrants in Quebec are unemployed, when the overall rate of unemployment is 7 per cent. In the rest of Canada, unemployment among immigrants is 12 per cent.
