Report Card on British Columbia’s Elementary Schools 2024
To help increase living standards for Canadians, the federal government should reform its immigration system and prioritize immigrants with STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) qualifications and strong English or French language skills.
Highly-educated and/or skilled immigrants—particularly those trained in STEM-related subjects—will help increase the productivity and per-person GDP (an indicator of living standards and incomes) of existing residents.
And these types of immigrants contribute more to government revenue (via taxes) than they receive in government services and income transfers (e.g. employment insurance).
Governments in Canada should also improve the business environment for entrepreneurship, innovation and growth of technology-intensive industries and occupations, to reap more benefits from high-skilled immigrants.
