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?

I think this is part of why you don't set "targets" for immigration. Targets prioritize quantity over quality, just let anyone in because we need to reach targets. We should be more strategic and put some thought into this... But liberals and thought don't often go together.
