Translated Summary: The IMF projects the global economy will contract by three per cent in 2020, in what it calls the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. Just days before it announced travel restrictions to help contain the spread of COVID-19, Canada said it would welcome over one million immigrants between 2020-2022, mainly to help grow its economy. Of course, little did Canadian government officials know at the time of the announcement that the global economy would be heading towards such a major contraction. Canada’s economy is facing tough times, but immigration will play a pivotal role in supporting Canada’s economic recovery since immigrants will help to fill newly-created jobs and also support job creation in other ways.
