Thank you.
On that same page, you wrote, “More and more [newcomers] are leaving, having formed no permanent connection[s] to the country, and moving on to other economic opportunities abroad.”
Further, you cited a study that found that “25 percent of all immigrants will leave within 25 years and a little over a third of them will do so within the first five years.” You place special emphasis on noting that, among those who leave, “48 percent are economic immigrants.”
Do you feel that the lack of connection to Canada could be addressed through Bill C-3's “substantial connection” test, by adding a longer residency requirement?
