This article speaks about how Ontario wants more control in the decisions of immigrant selection to help the declining numbers of immigrants coming into Ontario. Choosing the immigrants that get to come into Ontario will help to power the economic growth as well as build stronger communities. The amount of immigrants coming into Canada has dropped by one-third since 2001 to 2011. Only about 52 percent of the immigrants coming into Ontario fall under the "economic" class, whereas in other provinces 7 out of 10 immigrants fall under this label. The new immigrants to Ontario earned 23.2% less than the other provinces in Canada, and had a jobless rate of 15.7 percent.
This article is related to business because, it focuses on how Ontario's labour market needs are not being met. The lack of immigrants, with the necessary skills needed to help the economy is starting to affect Ontario. This is because, the immigrants with "economic" skills are choosing to move to other parts of Canada instead of Ontario and now we can see that new immigrants of Ontario are earning 23.2% less than the other provinces of Canada. We can see how, we here in Canada are dependent on others around the world to help raise our economy. Our businesses are all related world-wide, and it goes to show that if we didn't have other people coming into and working for other countries, most countries wouldn't be where they are today.
I think that this is a good way to increase immigration into Ontario. Ontario can increase the number of immigrants that come to Ontario. However, I am concerned with the fact that only 52 percent of immigrants are economists. In my opinion, that is not enough to increase economic growth. I think that Ontario should also to choose the most economic immigrants to come to Ontario. Before entering Ontario, Ontario should ask the immigrants if they are economists.
