In Canada, the philosophy with immigration seems to be that quantity is the main quality. Bring in as many immigrants as you can and hopefully some of them land in sectors where we need them to. Canada can afford to be a lot more selective and used to be a lot more selective. We complain that certain sectors need to be supplemented with immigrants, but it doesn't seem like the policy has been fixing that issue over the years. Are the majority of the 500k immigrants coming to Canada filling in the gaps where the country needs it, or are they mostly just moving to large centers and hoping they fall into some kind of meaningful employment?
