I do not think the Charter Right of the freedom of mobility should apply to immigrants/new Canadians until years after they are integrated into Canada.
If Canada needs skilled labour and opens up immigration to compenstate, it only makes sense that they would have to live in the communities that need them at least for a few years. Stop moving to Toronto and Vancouver... the jobs aren't there. For example, we need doctors up north, yet most immigrant doctors that move to Canada just stay in the big centres.
When my family immigrated here, my folks sacrificed easy integration of urban areas and social services offered, and went up north where the work was. It drives me bonkers to see immigrants who are unemployed or under employed, yet refuse to move.
