Summary Translation: Canadian Students' Union - In comparison to other countries, Canada’s method of responding to the COVID-19 pandemic was very interesting. Since the start of the outbreak, the federal government has not forced individuals displaying minor symptoms to self-isolate. Instead, the federal government focused its effort on handing money out to Canadians. In addition, Canada has been depending on immigration to stimulate economic growth. The economic recession caused by the pandemic has pushed Canada to bring in more immigrants. During the pandemic, Canada’s immigration system continues to reduce the immigration requirements, and the score for the Express Entry portal has continued to decline. Federal Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino also emphasized that the pandemic will not cause Canada to reduce its immigration target, because accepting more newcomers will be the key to recover Canada’s economy.
