More immigrants are in Canada’s national interest

Canada accepted 17 per cent more migrants last year than in 2005. In a time of recession when other Western governments are imposing strict limits on migration, Canada admitted 50,000 more migrants in 2010 than in 2009. Over the past 25 years, the total number of international migrants doubled to more than 200 million. We should expect that number to double again in the next two decades… On the whole, migrants contribute more to the public purse than they receive in benefits… (and) can deliver far more for global prosperity than foreign aid and international trade ever will.
