Canada's population is changing radically and absorbing immigrants at the rate of 333,000 a year will not be easy or simple, as the clip below from today's Post suggests.
We will have to figure out how to recognize for credentials better and how to bring people without credentials up to speed quickly. Language skills are a key here.
Other countries have absorbed vast inlows of immigration -- look at Israel -- but it is no trivial task.
Canada’s population is expected to increase by as much as 14 million by 2036, according to Statistics Canada’s newest report on population growth.
The agency projects that between 2009 to 2036, Canada’s population could grow from its current 33.7 million to between 40.1 million and 47.7 million.
According to the report, immigration levels represent the greatest share of the projected population increase, with Canada receiving as many as 333,600 immigrants a year by 2036, compared with 252,500 in 2010.
StatsCan’s provincial and territorial breakdowns have Ontario and B.C. leading the pack in population growth, with rates higher than the national average. Newfoundland and Labrador was the sole province projected to have a population decrease.

Does this mean we should curb the number of immigrants coming to Canada?
This is a political hot button issue. Any suggestion to reduce immigration numbers will result in catcalls of racism.
This is another reason why promising to reduce GHG was a farce. Our growing population among many other reasons makes it impossible.
Too many immigrants, and this has to stop... or slow down
All this proves is that the white man will be gone from Canada within 200 years.
Do the math.
It's what the progressives want.
One world government.
I will fight to my death to stop my country from being destroyed.
333,000 is 1 percent of the population. Hardly a "vast inflow".
When we take in 3.3 million, then I'll agree we have some adjusting to do. Like Israel.
