Gauging the current public confidence in Canada about immigration, a new study gives away some positive outcomes.
Canadians have become more open to immigration of foreign skilled workers and their families over the past year. They perceive the present high levels of economic immigration as an opportunity and not a threat to local Canadian jobs. In fact, they agree that permanent migration of foreign skilled workers and business entrepreneurs are important to increase population levels in Canada.
The recent public opinion survey on immigration was conducted by Environics Institute, a reputed social research non-profit organization. All the findings were based on telephonic interviews with 2,000 Canadians between September 8 and 23, 2020.
