It used to be that Canada brought in more and more immigrants in order to have de facto slaves to work in service jobs like retail, delivery and what not: you know, to help uphold the standard of living for the previous immigrants who upgraded their education and skills and became mega consumers. People who drive their SUV to a "U pick" farm, and just buy a box of washed and sorted blueberries in the parking lot, ... rather than working in such a place.
Unfortunately, those service-job immigrants are now priced out of housing due to all the previous immigration.
So in order that residential properties continue to inflate, we now need to bring in "tech talent": immigrants who have some ghost of a chance of actually affording to live here.
In some ten years, Immigration Canada will be all about attracting "CEO talent", "chief of hospital talent" and such.
