I'm going to get called callous and maybe insensitive or racist for laying this out, but IMO the only solution to this is putting immigrants to work immediately.
Something like new immigrants are immediately put into work camps building national infrastructure projects. They must remain for 2 years working those positions to earn citizenship. They can be fed and boarded during the 2 years by the working company, and the money they would be owed is put into a "Canada account" that would then provide them with a nominal downpayment for property or somethign at the end.
Ideas for national infrastructure projects:
- Northern route trans canada to open up access to more natural resources.
- home building in northern communities that are accessible within 3 hours to a current major center
- More pipelines
- ports
- Commuter rail lines
The current plan doesnt work.
