POLICY OPTIONS
July-August 2010
- In this special summer double issue, our cover package is on immigration in Canada. In an exclusive poll, Nik Nanos finds that Canadians strongly support immigration but want current levels maintained, Jeffrey Reitz assesses the recent reforms made to Canada's immigration policy, Ratna Omidvar finds that our immigration policy works well in the medium and long terms but less well in the short term, Don Drummond and Francis Fong look at immigration from an economics perspective, Lesleyanne Hawthorne examines two-step migration in Australia, Leslie Seidle analyzes intergovernmental immigration agreements, Arthur Sweetman and Casey Warman look critically at the new Canada Experience Class immigration category, Jenna Hennebry tries to unravel the "jurisdictional fútball" of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, and Glen Hodgson recommends ways Canadian immigration policy can relieve a tight labour market. In the Plus section, Kristin Bartenstein asks whether Canada has to "Use it or lose it" in the North, we have four book reviews, and much more.
