"The Canada depicted in Immigration Minister Judy Sgro's annual report to Parliament does a laudable job of absorbing newcomers, getting them settled and offering them a better future.
The minister adds a couple of small caveats: It takes too long for foreign-trained professionals to get their credentials recognized. And some immigrants need better language training to find work in their field.
But by and large, Sgro says, the system is working well. Canada is meeting its immigration targets, replenishing its talent pool and protecting people fleeing war and persecution.
That may be the way things look from Ottawa. On the ground, things look a bit different."
