Immigration & Residency

This section organizes proposals about entering Canada, remaining in Canada, changing immigration status, and becoming a permanent member of the country.

Questions for the system

  • How should Canada determine its annual population and labour needs?
  • Which forms of residence should be temporary, renewable, or permanent?
  • Should temporary residence normally lead to permanent residence?
  • What protections should apply when a person's status depends on employment?
  • How should family unity, refugee protection, and humanitarian obligations fit within the system?
  • What obligations should Canada owe to long-term residents who are not citizens?
