The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) named Canada as most likely of the Western democratic countries to support immigrants.
The OECD’s director for employment, John Martin, said that most people move to the country with intention to stay permanently and become Canadian citizens.
In order to help immigrants to settle in the country and find employment, the Canada immigration department introduced new aid programmes. The OECD’s representatives said that such initiatives are crucial for immigrant communities to grow in times of economic downturn and contribute more to society.
It was said that in Canada one is less likely to experience hostility towards immigrants as they are not seen as temporary. “Canadians don’t see immigrants as hostile. They aren’t seen as ‘taking our jobs,’” said John Martin.
The Canada immigration minister, Jason Kenney, has criticized the media rhetoric which aims to turn Canadians against immigrants.
