increase engagement in Latin America

The US, Spain, and Canada will partner to increase engagement in Latin America

Uncategorized /

The United States, Spain, and Canada plan to work together to increase engagement in Latin America. The partnership aims to promote safe, orderly, humane, and regular migration while creating economic and social opportunities.  The three countries will expand regular labor migration opportunities, strengthen national governments’ ability to recruit, vet, and support workers, increase awareness of workers’ rights, and bring more international attention to the region.  Their cooperation is based on a shared dedication to the region’s people, a shared interest in addressing labor shortages in participating countries, a shared commitment to worker empowerment, and a shared awareness of the need to manage irregular migration.   The Los Angeles Declaration on Migration and Protection and the United States’ “Call to Action” for Central America both highlight the mutual hemispheric understanding, policy, and commitments that are expanded by this announcement.  The United States, Spain, and Canada have established specific goals that are part of this cooperative commitment. The three countries are committed to collaborating with the relevant regional governments in order to attain these ambitious objectives and to aid one another in doing so. The three nations will also collaborate with multilateral institutions and organizations to determine how they can promote labor migration pathways, particularly by promoting fair recruitment procedures and worker rights.   Canada: More than 50,000 foreign workers from Mexico, Guatemala, and the Caribbean came to Canada in 2022, solely for the agriculture industry. While almost all of the region’s temporary foreign workers work in the agricultural sector, trends in employer demand in the private sector point to increased future growth. Canada’s temporary employment pathways are determined by demand, and some organizations work directly with local stakeholders to fill labor market shortages.   As part of its joint commitment, Canada will make use of its current economic initiatives like the Agri-Food Pilot and paths for temporary foreign workers to offer safe, regular paths as an alternative to irregular migration. In addition, Canada is looking into further humanitarian pathways to accept and hire more refugees from the Americas.  This includes the recently enlarged Economic Mobility Pathway Pilot, which offers an additional economic immigration path for eligible refugees and other displaced people. The Canadian government is committed to boosting labor mobility from the region, especially through promotion and communication efforts that link Canadian businesses with local stakeholders, such as national labor ministries. This may be particularly appealing to small- and medium-sized business owners in rural areas who require employees but may not have access to more wide recruitment pathways.   In order to address the root causes of irregular migration and support legal paths for labor mobility, Canada will step up capacity growth initiatives in the region. These efforts will include ones that encourage socioeconomic integration and the ethical recruitment of temporary foreign workers. As agreed during the North American Leaders’ Summit, Canada will share information regarding its policies and best practices. The United States and Spain established specific goals that are part of this cooperative commitment, listed in the USaid.gv website page   Read the latest Canadian Immigration News; CANADA TO HAVE THE SECOND HIGHEST REAL GDP GROWTH IN 2023 AND 2024 AMONG THE G7 COUNTRIES CANADA APPROVED 40 MORE START-UPS IN FEBRUARY IMMIGRATION HELPS CANADA INCREASE HUMAN CAPITAL GROWTH   Want to know more details about “The US, Spain, and Canada will partner to increase engagement in Latin America” you can contact one of our immigration specialists at  Gunness & Associates.   Tel: (416) 604-2669  Email: info@immigrationmatters.info   Gunness & Associates has helped thousands of people successfully immigrate to Canada with their families.

All the SUV activity in that province occurred in January.   575 foreign nationals got permanent residency in Canada last year due to the SUV. That was 60 immigrant entrepreneurs, or 11.6%, more than the 515 immigrants who started businesses and received permanent residence through the program in 2019, one full year before the pandemic started.   Ottawa swiftly implemented travel and public health restrictions when the coronavirus made its way to Canada in early 2020, which led to a 45.9% reduction in immigration, from 341,175 new permanent residents in 2019 to only 184,590 the following year.  Similar reductions were observed in the number of new immigrants included by the SUV, which fell from 515 new permanent residents in 2019 to only 260, or barely more than half, in 2020. 2021 saw a resurgence in immigration, which at the time reached a record high of 406,045 new permanent residents.

human capital growth

Immigration helps Canada increase human capital growth

Uncategorized /

According to the study “Accumulation of Human Capital in Canada, 1970 to 2020: An Analysis by Gender and the Role of Immigration,” immigrant women and men have increased their human capital growth over time.  After 1995, immigrants accounted for about 40% of Canada’s overall human capital growth. The study found that 56% of that growth was attributed to immigrant men and 44% to immigrant women.    Before 1995, immigrants only accounted for approximately 18% of Canada’s total human capital growth. However, now, immigration is responsible for nearly 100% of Canada’s labour force growth and 75% of its economic growth. The relatively significant increase in the size and average human capital of the immigrant population compared to that of the Canadian-born population in that time period is what contributes to immigrants’ relatively large contribution to the growth of human capital after 1995.    Women helped higher than their typical percentage of human capital (33%) over the same period, or nearly 58% of the rise in human capital from 1970 to 1995. Compared to their usual share of human capital, which was 40%, women contributed 45% of the growth in human capital after 1995. All age groups and educational levels had a gender difference in human capital, however, it progressively reduced for all of those groups.   Because Canada attracted more educated and younger immigrants during that time, the percentage of immigrants in the working-age population increased from 19% to 25%. Additionally, immigrants’ average human capital increased faster than that of Canadian-born (0.88% per year for immigrants vs. 0.62% per year for the Canadian-born population).
