What happened to Canada's world-class immigration system?

Tony Keller, Globe and Mail columnist and author of the Donner Prize-shortlisted book Borderline Chaos, examines Canada's immigration transformation. He explains how the country shifted from a stable, selective system focused on permanent residents to an explosion of temporary immigration through international students and foreign workers. Keller details the business and political pressures driving this change, the lack of government oversight, and how institutions exploited the system. He assesses current reform efforts and discusses whether Canada can restore public confidence in immigration policy.This episode is presented in partnership with the Donner Canadian Foundation.The Hub is Canada’s fastest-growing independent digital news outlet.Subscribe to our YouTube channel to get our latest videos: https://www.youtube.com/@TheHubCanadaSubscribe to The Hub’s podcast feed to get our best content when you are on the go:https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple) https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify) Want more Hub?
