What is one of the main goals of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act?

One of the main goals of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) is indeed to outline processes for employing foreign workers. This legislation establishes the framework for managing immigration to Canada, which includes the regulation of temporary foreign workers. Under IRPA, there are specific provisions that create pathways for foreign nationals to work in Canada, addressing both the needs of the Canadian labor market and the rights of the workers themselves.

The act is designed not only to facilitate the entry of skilled and unskilled workers but also to ensure that the processes are fair and equitable for all. It emphasizes the importance of balancing the needs of the Canadian economy with the protection of foreign workers' rights, ensuring that they are treated fairly while contributing to the workforce.

While limiting immigration and prioritizing skilled workers may be components of broader immigration policy discussions, the specific aim of the IRPA focuses on creating a structured process for employment that aligns with Canada's immigration objectives. Offering citizenship to all foreign nationals is not a goal of this act either, as citizenship is governed by separate legislation and is subject to different criteria and processes.
