Public policy, both federal and provincial, is inconsistent. We want to attract immigrants, but there is total inconsistency in what the government or IRCC are doing. Why is one of the refusal criteria the immigrant potentially not returning to their country after their studies, when we want them to come live here? When I heard about that, I told myself that it was too shocking to be right and true. But that is really happening.
A candidate who comes to study in Quebec or in Canada will spend three or four years learning how our country and our society work. That will improve their ability to integrate into society. Those students' academic path is a success factor in their integration. The federal government or IRCC should use that vector or that immigration channel or path to ensure immigrants' effective and successful integration.
