Why Canada Changes its Immigration Minister
Every two years prime ministers of Canada shuffle their cabinets. The reason for conducting a shuffle results in replacing poor-performing ministers, promoting people who have done a good job by the prime minister, and providing an opportunity to restructure their policies and public communications. These cabinet ministers are responsible for their respective departments of the executive branch of the government in the areas of their purview. This is also to emphasize the government’s economic priorities. The last big cabinet shuffle happened on October 2021 followed by the federal election that year. The minister of Immigration is responsible for Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) which also includes passport services, immigration, and temporary residence.
Canada is expecting 1.45 million newcomers within the next 3 years as this is a mandate set by the Government of Canada which is overseen by the Liberal Party. The immigration policy s likely to change if a new political party wins the election. In such a case, Minister Marc Miller as a member of the Liberal Party will continue with the mandates set by the federal government. For more news and updates, get in touch with CanApprove!
