The Liberal party of Canada comes in power yet again for the third time since 2015. Soon, some major alterations are expected in the Canadian immigration policy. Going by the news reports from channels like CTV and CBC, it is predicted that the Liberals will be forming a minority government.
To be in majority, a minimum of 170 seats are required out of the total 338 seats in the Canadian parliament. The party that is in majority doesn’t need the support of the parties that are in opposition in order to implement any legislative changes. And if in minority, the ruling party works in collaboration with the opposition parties for passing laws and policies. The Liberals formed the majority government in the year 2015 but came down to form a minority government after the 2019 election. The current elections were seen as a forced election as they were announced by the Canadian PM Justin Trudeau two years prior even before his government expires its four year term. It is seen as a well-planned decision as the chances of the Liberals forming a majority government are high in these elections.
During the entire campaigning period, immigration issues such as affordable housing, climate change and economic recovery etc. were surely not the focus points. Though, both the parties that are considered to gain the top spots in the election results i.e., those of Liberals and Conservatives promised to bring immediate changes in the immigration policy. These new changes are expected to boost immigration in the country and to give credential recognition to the immigrants.
What is expected once the election results are out?
After the election results, it is seen the same immigration policies would be implemented but with some major surprises expected in the coming years. This implies there would be continuation in the agendas like high number of immigrants being welcomed into Canada that would help in the economic recovery as well as fulfill the country’s commitment to welcome global talent, helping refugees and so on.
As expected, if the Liberals form the government, current Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino will hold the same position in the cabinet. A mandate letter will be assigned by the PM Justin Trudeau to each minister that will address the priority issues that the cabinet ministers need to take up. The Immigration Minister would be focusing on the Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada’s prime issues which would further positively impact the complete immigration system, provinces and territories.
