OTTAWA, Ontario \u2013 The Government of Canada is asking Canadians about what they think immigration means for Canada, and how we can continue to grow our nation through immigration.<\/p>\n

Starting today until August 5, 2016, Canadians can get involved by providing an on-line written submission. Other consultation activities include cross-Canada round-table discussions led by the Minister and Parliamentary Secretary, stakeholder engagement by departmental officials; and, public opinion research.<\/p>\n

Canada\u2019s strength lies in its diversity. Our diversity is closely tied to immigration and is a valued part of Canada\u2019s story \u2013 we are asking Canadians to help us write the next chapter.<\/p>\n

The feedback gathered from Canadians will be used to help guide decisions on how many people we will welcome in the coming years and the future of immigration in Canada.<\/p>\n

Immigrants have always been a central part of Canada\u2019s success. The contributions of newcomers result in jobs, innovation and economic growth. Immigrants also strengthen our country socially and culturally.<\/p>\n

The Government of Canada is committed to an immigration system that supports Canada\u2019s diversity and helps grow our economy as it strengthens our society. This is an ambitious undertaking that will help determine the way forward on immigration to Canada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
