"Canada’s once path-breaking immigration policies are being transformed into a system that mainly serves employers, treating immigrants not as future citizens or members of Canadian communities and families but merely as convenient or cheap labour. This is a clear shift from previous policy. We haven’t seen such naked pragmatism since the Railway Act of 1925 gave Canada’s two railroad companies virtually full sway over immigration. This almost century-old triumph of pragmatism enabled Canada to admit people and let them stay only as long as the country needed their labour. If they did overstay their welcome, practices like the infamous Chinese Head Tax prevented them from reuniting with their spouses and children."
