While Canada receives more than 200,000 immigrants each year, and many of these newcomers experience difficulties integrating into the workforce, current immigration levels are generally not seen by managers and labour leaders as a serious problem facing the Canadian economy and labour market. This was one of the observations made by CLBC Senior Researcher Clarence Lochhead in a presentation delivered at the Public Policy Forum Conference “Integrating Immigrants: Building Partnerships that Work” on March 20, 2006. Mr. Lochhead presented findings from the Workplace Partners Panel’s 2005 Viewpoints Survey, examining business and labour perspectives on current immigration levels. The Viewpoints survey suggests that the regional distribution of immigrants and a selection system that focuses more on required skills and occupations are of greater concern than overall immigration levels.
