Just picking up on Francis' comments, I agree. This is complex. There are many elements to this kind of puzzle. If we really want to have an impact in our communities, and think about the critical role that our institutions can play as those anchors, social, economic and otherwise, we really need to focus on conversations that focus on better alignment.
Those conversations would focus not only on community needs and labour market needs but aligning those with IRCC's immigration goals, dealing with the operational issues around visa processing, and any potential unintended bias in terms of consistent approaches to processing. Those should not serve as barriers to our future growth and prosperity as a country, and certainly at provincial and community levels as well.
