Immigration has always been used as part of balancing out the employment requirements of an economy. The problem is too many governments around the world are not aligning immigration in a way that supports economic growth.
This presentation looks at immigration in Canada. Canada plans to raise immigration from about 250,000 to 340,000 by 2020. The issue is that immigration is rising faster than both GDP and job creation.

Government Policy - Education and Skills Development - Canada - April 2018paul young cpa, cga
Education across Canada have seen improvement in graduation rates.
Education is not being aligned in terms of the jobs today as well as the future
Too many students lack critical thinking, interpersonal skills, time management and judgement
Too many students have been treated as special when in the fact the real world does not treat anyone special
There are systemic issues with programs being offered at the secondary level. There needs to be more emphasis on financial planning, biology, IT, chemistry, writing and physics.

Global Housing Market Analysis and Commentary- September 2023.pptxpaul young cpa, cga
Summary:
Homebuilders are walking a fine line when it comes to new projects as high mortgage rates curb demand.
New residential construction, including single-family homes and multifamily, dropped 11.3% month over month in August to 1.283 million units on a seasonally adjusted basis, according to Census Bureau data released Tuesday. That's down 14.8% compared with a year ago and well below the 1.44 million units economists surveyed by Bloomberg projected.
But authorized residential permits — an indicator of potential future activity — rose 6.9% to 1.543 million permits in August from July. That was still down 2.7% from last August. Single-family permits, though, were up 2% from July to 949,000. Multifamily permits came in at 535,000.
The data reflects two opposing forces builders are trying to balance: the ongoing need for new construction to fill in limited inventory and elevated mortgage rates that are hurting their biggest customer right now, the first-time homebuyer.
"High mortgage rates are clearly taking a toll on builder confidence and consumer demand, as a growing number of buyers are electing to defer a home purchase until long-term rates move lower," Robert Dietz, chief economist of the National Association of Home Builders, said Monday in a press release after builder confidence dropped for the second straight month.

Blog – Manufacturing Shipments and Orders – The United States – August 2023
Summary:
New orders for manufacturing technology in the United States totaled $353.9 million in July 2023, as per the latest report by AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology. This figure marked a 12.4% decline from June 2023 but remained only 10.5% lower than July 2022. Year-to-date orders amounted to $2.83 billion, reflecting a 12.7% decrease compared to the same period the previous year.
Douglas K. Woods, President of AMT, noted that July is typically a slower month for manufacturing technology orders, so a slight drop was expected. However, he pointed out a notable trend: over the last two months, the year-to-date order gap has narrowed during historically slow periods. While job shops have seen decreased orders, other industries that benefited from reshoring or government investments have helped fill the gap.
Among specific sectors, job shops, the largest customer segment, placed their lowest total monthly orders since August 2020. In contrast, metal valve manufacturers recorded their third-highest monthly order value on record, last seen in September 2018, making up nearly 5% of the total manufacturing technology order value for July 2023. Manufacturers of motor vehicle transmissions continued to order machinery at an elevated pace. However, the aerospace industry continued to order below its early 2022 peaks, with hopes that recent projects like the federal government's $1.5 billion investment in communications satellites might reverse this trend.

Blog – Analysis and Commentary – Stock Market – WE September 15 2023
Summary:
Stocks fell Friday as investors wrap up a volatile week ahead of the Federal Reserve's policy meeting.
The Dow Jones Industrials tumbled 288.87 points to close out Friday and the week at 34,618.24. At its lows, it completely wiped out Thursday's 332-point rally.
The S&P 500 index sank 54.78 points, or 1.2%, to 4,450.32.
The NASDAQ index plunged 217.72 points, or 1.6%, to 13,708.33.
The Dow held onto a winning week. The S&P 500 and NASDAQ both closed out the week with losses.
Information technology was the worst-performing sector in the S&P 500, down nearly 2%. Adobe shares fell more than 4% even after the software firm posted better-than-expected quarterly results. Shares of Arm Holdings were lower one day after its successful public debut.
Auto stocks General Motors and Stellantis N.V. were higher Friday, while Ford Motor was about flat. Thousands of members of the United Auto Workers went on strike after failing to reach a deal with the automakers Thursday night.
Elsewhere, Lennar shares slid 3%. The home construction firm posted third-quarter results that beat on the top and bottom lines.

Electricity Analysis - Canada and the OECD - June 2023.pptxpaul young cpa, cga
Summary:
Over three-quarters of the world’s total coal-generated electricity is consumed in just three countries. China is the top user of coal, making up 53.3% of global coal demand, followed by India at 13.6%, and the U.S. at 8.9%.
Burning coal—for electricity, as well as metallurgy and cement production—is the world’s single largest source of CO2 emissions. Nevertheless, its use in electricity generation has actually grown 91.2% since 1997, the year when the first global climate agreement was signed in Kyoto, Japan.
However, even as non-renewables enjoy their time in the sun, their days could be numbered.
In 2022, renewables, such as wind, solar, and geothermal, represented 14.4% of total electricity generation with an extraordinary annual growth rate of 14.7%, driven by big gains in solar and wind. Non-renewables, by contrast, only managed an anemic 0.4%.
The authors of the Statistical Review do not include hydroelectric in their renewable calculations, even though many others, including the International Energy Agency, consider it a “well-established renewable power technology.”
With hydroelectric moved into the renewable column, together they accounted for over 29.3% of all electricity generated in 2022, with an annual growth rate of 7.4%.

Global (Mining Oil and Gas Forestry and Agriculture) Analysis and Commentary ...paul young cpa, cga
The mining, oil, gas, agriculture, forestry, and mining continue to face environmental, social, and governance policy review including reporting of key metrics as part of ESG reporting cycle.
There is more focus on profitability and investment returns as part of the integrated planning and reporting cycle.
Summary:
The global economy faces what at least one forecaster is calling a mild trade recession as shipments from China slump and German factories downshift.
China’s export declines extended into August, though there were signs that the worst of a world trade slowdown may be over for the leading exporter.
Overseas shipments from China fell 8.8% in dollar terms from a year earlier while imports contracted 7.3%, both better than economists’ estimates and significantly less severe than July’s downturn.
Other data have suggested trade may be stabilizing after weakening for most of this year. Exports from South Korea also declined at a more moderate pace in August than the previous month.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

5. REFUGEE'S COST
Canada is forecasted to receiving 40,000 refugees through the illegal border crossing into Canada. The cost
of to house, feed, cloth, medical, etc. will be between $600M to $1B.
https://openparliament.ca/debates/2017/9/26/michelle-rempel-2/. The response from the government has
been at best lukewarm. Here is what the immigration minister said “The member opposite must know that
asylum claims fluctuate on a yearly basis and sometimes even monthly. The fact of the matter is that our
agencies were nimble enough. We were able to put full capacity within IRCC to process claims.
Yet the government thinks closing the borders is not priority, but taxing small business is in terms of policies
is top priority, right? https://ipolitics.ca/2017/09/28/morneaus-tax-plan-should-have-been-political-gold-

constantly updating their programs to ensure that
Canadian immigration is successful, both for
newcomers and for Canada. There are currently

immigration will be unique.
For example, there are many different categories
professionals and workers under which you might
qualify for your Canada Immigration permanent
resident visa, including the Federal and Quebec
Skilled Worker programs, the Provincial Nominee
Programs, the Canadian Experience Class, the
Quebec Experience Class, and the Federal Self-

13. REFUGEE PROCESS / CANADA
Some people are not eligible to claim refugee
protection in Canada.
Officers receiving your refugee claim will decide
whether it is eligible for referral to the
Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada
(IRB), an independent administrative tribunal
that makes decisions on immigration and
refugee matters. The IRB decides who is a
Convention refugee or a person in need of
protection.
•Your refugee claim may not be eligible for referral to the
IRB if:
•You have been recognized as a Convention refugee by
another country to which you can return;
•You have already been granted protected person status
in Canada;
•You arrived via the Canada-United States border;
•You are not admissible to Canada on security grounds, or
because of criminal activity or human rights violations;
•You made a previous refugee claim that was found to be
ineligible for referral to the IRB;
•You made a previous refugee claim that was rejected by

14. IMMIGRATION TRENDS – CANADA
Source: http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/11-630-x/11-630-x2016006-eng.htm
The annual number of landed immigrants in Canada has fluctuated
considerably over the last 150 years. Some of these fluctuations can be
linked to immigration policy changes, others to Canada's economic situation
or world events connected with the movement of migrants and refugees.
For example, in the late 1800s, the number of immigrants admitted annually
to Canada varied between 6,300 and 133,000. Record numbers of
immigrants were admitted in the early 1900s when Canada was promoting
the settlement of Western Canada. The highest number ever recorded was
in 1913, when more than 400,000 immigrants arrived in the country.
However, the number of people entering the country dropped dramatically
during World War I, to fewer than 34,000 landed immigrants in 1915. The
lowest numbers of landed immigrants were recorded during the
Great Depression in the 1930s and during World War II. The return of peace
fostered economic recovery and an immigration boom in Canada.
Other record levels of immigration have been registered during political and
humanitarian crises, including in 1956 and 1957, when 37,500 Hungarian
refugees arrived in the country, and in the 1970s and 1980s, when a large
number of Ugandan, Chilean, Vietnamese, Cambodian and Laotian refugees
came to Canada.
Since the early 1990s, the number of landed immigrants has remained
relatively high, with an average of approximately 235,000 new immigrants
per year.

18. SYRIA / REFUGEE
More than 30,000 Syrians have arrived since November
(excluding Quebec, which has its own settlement
program), and almost half of those are being privately
sponsored to some extent.
While government-assisted refugees are usually settled
in cities and large towns, families who are privately
sponsored can end up anywhere. In more than 300
communities across the country, locals have banded
together to provide housing, English classes, driving
lessons, a crash course in Canadian customs (pot luck
dinners, poutine) and, most important of all, friendship.
