Abstract
In the first part, we will focus on the potential and historical goals of the Canadian immigration policy. We will focus on humanitarian goals such as helping refugees and reuniting families in Canada, social goals such as altering the nature of the Canadian society and goals related to foreign policy. But, we will emphasize that one of the main uses of the immigration policy in the past has been meant to implement an economic policy. In the second part, we will study how the Canadian government has managed immigration according to the goals set before.
