Conservative Party leader Andrew Scheer expressed agreement with his opponent’s immigration policies. According to Scheer, he agrees with the Liberals’ plans to have up to 350,000 immigrants in Canada by 2021. He believes this is a reasonable number.
This is the first time the Conservatives revealed their immigration targets. In the past, Scheer has remained careful with his response on this topic. He said providing a number for immigration is only to distract people. Near the end of 2018, the Liberal government announced the immigration quota for the following three years.
Their plan was to increase immigration targets from the 310,000 in 2018 to 350,000 by 2021.
This number encompasses different streams of immigration, where a majority will be targeted at skilled immigrants to help resolve the labour shortage in Canada. No matter which of the main parties will form a government, as both favour immigration.
