Document Summary
Convention also sets out which people do not qualify as refugees, such as war criminals: also known as geneva convention. Post wwii immigration policy: canada wanted refugees to boost economy, demand for goods and services that had not been available during great depression and world wars. Need for labour increased, europe had large demand for canadian exports in order to reconstruct. Brought in entrepreneurs who would employ those living in. Canada, later on also included investors (all to boost economy) Independent immigrants had a difficult time coming to canada, people had to have a job waiting in canada that could not be fulfilled by non-immigrants. All countries should open border to trade: conservative macro-economic policies. Focus on cutting deficit, but really cutting social programs. Subsidies to business continue: all applicable to international migration cut humanitarian services in order to maintain profit.
