On October 19, Canadians will vote in a federal election. With just a few weeks to go and with the latest polls suggesting a tight race, issues surrounding immigration, settlement and citizenship are coming to the fore — not only among Canadian voters, but also among immigrants and those interested in immigrating to Canada over the next few years. “Whether we are talking about economic immigration, integration, citizenship, refugee settlement, temporary foreign workers, or investor immigration, it is clear that changes to Canadian immigration policy will form a part of the next government’s plan,” says Attorney David Cohen. “Now is the perfect time for the major parties to answer some specific questions about issues that are hugely important to Canada’s future.”
