The priorities set out for the new session of the Parliament of Canada have several implications for the country’s immigration policies and the immigrants themselves. The Canadian government has emphasized that welcoming immigrants will remain a key priority of the new session of Parliament.
Each new session of Parliament begins with a Speech from the Throne, which describes the government’s objectives.
On September 23, the Governor-General of Canada, Julie Payette, delivered the official opening speech of the Second Session of the 43rd Parliament of Canada. The Governor-General is the federal representative of the Monarch of Canada, Queen Elizabeth II.
Canada’s economy to recover from COVID-19 with the help of immigration
Payette described four pillars of the government’s plan for the new session of parliament:
Immigration will be key to supporting the economic recovery from COVID-19 in Canada, Payette said. She noted: “Immigration remains an engine of Canada’s economic growth. As other countries shy away from the global talent that could help their economies, Canada has the opportunity, as we recover, to become the world’s leading destination for talent, capital, and jobs. When people choose Canada, help build Canada, and make sacrifices to support Canada, we should make it easier for them to officially become Canadians… As part of the short-term economic recovery and a plan for long-term growth. Over the long term, the government will use our advantage over immigration to maintain Canada’s competitiveness on the world stage.”
The announcement in the speech intersects with immigration in several other ways.
The Canadian federal government will continue to provide various economic and social supports throughout and beyond the pandemic to help strengthen the country’s standard of living.
This includes income support for individuals and businesses, including targeted support for women. Women have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic and immigrant women are no exception. Although immigrants have performed better economically since the onset of the pandemic, immigrant women still perform worse than immigrant men.
The federal government will also provide more financial support for those looking to buy a home in the country. The rates for homeownership are high among the immigrants moving to Canada, but with housing becoming more expensive across the country, these supports will make homeownership more accessible to Canadians and immigrants.
The Speech from the Throne itself does not go into the details of the implementation of the government’s plans. More details can be found in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s new mandate letters to his ministers, which also includes Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino.

Ever since I have spoken to Team Nationwide, I have received all kinds of support I have looked for, starting from transcripts to IELTS coaching, they have helped me with everything. I already have referred three of my friends to them because of the fabulous service delivered by them and shall be doing it in the future too.
Quality work and friendliness is why I decided to opt for Nationwide Visas for preparing my application for Permanent Residence in Canada. Today, my parents are proud of me for making the right choice, it has all become possible because of Nationwide.
Nothing influences me more than a recommendation from a trusted friend, I got reference for Nationwide Visas through one of my friends, who got his ITA with the help of Team Nationwide. They explained the documentation process in detail and made the correct recommendations that I cherish now.
Before initiating the immigration process, I was a bit skeptical, however, after having a word with their consultant who explained the whole process to me over the phone without trying to sell their service, I felt assured. I did not give it a second thought and initiated my immigration process. All the case managers at Nationwide Visas are well-versed with the process and never fall short of expectations whenever I walk up to them with any queries.
For the past 4 months, I had been struggling with understanding the immigration process and was looking for a consultant who could not only explain the process, but also guide me regarding what all options were available to me. So, after reading their reviews, I approached Nationwide Visas, and true to their reviews, they explained the whole process to me while also giving me clear information about the chances I had at securing Canada PR Visa.
