300,000 immigrants every year 'new normal' in Canada, says immigration minister
"Three hundred thousand is now our new normal," the minister said.
Hussen said the government has no plan to reduce the level of the influx of immigrants which took place in the last year and the number corresponds to around 300,000.
The minister also hinted that the government is expected to table the plan of the immigration in the House of Commons next week.
Hussen said: "As a government we went from 260,000 to 300,000 because of the need to meet the demands of Canadian families who wanted to reunite with their loved ones."
"But also employers who are asking us to allow them to continue to use immigration more and more as a way to meet their growth needs" he added.
Hussen even said the "vast majority" of the immigrants will belong to the economic class followed by the family class and the refugees.
