| Abstract: |
More than ever before, our immigration policies and programs — and here I refer not just to the rules and policies governing admission, but also to their application each day to individual cases by the many border and visa officers exercising their judgment on our behalf — will be vitally important in shaping the future of our countries. The Canada of tomorrow will be the product of our decisions today about who we bring in, from which countries, having what skills and experience, holding which values and traditions, in pursuit of what kind of opportunities. These decisions will shape our future, and that of our children and grand-children, and determine the social, cultural and economic wealth of our countries. To prepare for this, of course, there are important steps we can take, to see that these new arrivals have every opportunity to become fully productive members of our societies and fully engaged members of our communities. |
