Presenting his views in the meet, Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship said, “Immigration is key to addressing labour shortages across our country and I am excited about the productive discussions with the provinces and territories we’ve had here today.

As Canada continues to see increased demand of those seeking to live and work in Canada, our governments will continue to work together to ensure our immigration system can withstand the demand and meet the diverse needs of our clients.

Our collaborative efforts on immigration will help strengthen our post-COVID economic recovery in the short term, while continuing to contribute to local economies and communities in the long-term and bring the benefits of immigration from coast to coast to coast.”
