There are 4 different classes of Immigrants entering Canada:
~Economic Immigrants (skilled workers and business people)
~Family class (spouses, children, partners and parents of people living in Canada)
~Refugees (people who are escaping prosecution)
~Other (people accepted as immigrants for humanitarian or compassionate needs)
When it comes to accepting immigrants and refugees the government has to think about economic factors. Immigration plays a key role in Canada and has helped build the population Canada has today.
In 2006-2007 Canada found an issue affecting Immigration, The number of births equaled the number of deaths, and the number of people entering labor force equaled the number of people retiring.Therefore, the government needed to increase the number of immigrants entering Canada. When accepting immigrants into Canada the government uses a point system chart where you have to get at least 67 points out of 100 yo be accepted into the country. There are only 2 Immigrant classes excluded from the point system and they are Refugee's and the Family class.
