U.S. President Joe Biden's inauguration today and his open
doors policy towards immigration means Canada will have to work
harder under this administration to attract skilled workers.
In a massive reversal of outgoing President Donald Trump's
stance on immigration, Biden is expected to unveil a sweeping
immigration bill on his first day in office that will provide an
eight-year path to citizenship for an estimated eight million
"Dreamers," illegal aliens living in the United
States.
Biden's immigration bill is also expected to reverse the
Trumpian tactic of banning almost all travel from 13 countries,
most of them largely Muslim. The repeal of the executive order
issued by Trump – often described as the "Muslim
ban" – would affect immigration from North Korea, Syria,
Iran, Libya, Yemen, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar, Nigeria, Somalia,
Sudan, Tanzania, and Venezuela.
