A recent leaked internal document shows the Liberal government is asking all the right questions about the future of immigration policies in Canada.
For too long previous governments have been concerned with band aid solutions to perceived problems with the immigration system. The result is a complicated system built from a seemingly endless number of streams that is difficult to navigate from a layperson's perspective.

If this report is to be believed, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada appears to be preparing for some major changes in the way foreigners are brought into the country. It points to the rapidly changing labour market and a system that needs to be able to move with the areas of the economy facing shortages.
