A step backwards

Maybe I’m missing something, but the Immigration Minister’s plan for 2016 is a significant step backwards for Ontario’s trades employers and their taxpaying undocumented workers.  

At first glance, the 2016 Immigration plan report guarantees significant growth of Ontario’s booming undocumented worker sector. Fraudulent marriages should also see significant increase along with tax payer sponsored refugees.  

·        The Minister is reducing economic immigrants by 20,000 and increasing refugees by 30,000.

·        Long term illegals applying under the Humanitarian quota were just cut by 1,500.

·        There was absolutely no mention of the Federal Skilled Trades Program.

·        There was no absolutely no mention of undocumented workers

It looks as if the Liberals want to play with fire in the GTHA.
