Canada’s housing crisis is exacerbated by immigration policy that favours highly educated workers over those considered “unskilled,” a real estate developer has told CBC News. “We’re really struggling with getting the right type of workers,” said Sue Wastell, president of Wastell Homes in London, Ont.
In a statement to CBC, the Department of Citizenship and Immigration said it plans to convene a council of advice to “assess the needs in the industry and advise on new pathways to bring in the skilled workers we need.”
