I agree entirely. Helping immigrants integrate and meeting Canada's economic needs are important objectives. But I don't think the focus should be solely economic. Canada has numerous needs as far as immigration is concerned. Economic considerations do factor in, yes, but they aren't the only ones that matter.
You also mentioned stringency as regards the new program and the fact that criteria would be more stringent.
What does that mean? Why do you need to make certain criteria more stringent? What's the relationship between those criteria and the current scoring system?
