Between 2020 and 2022, numerous business, educational and non-governmental organizations supported raising permanent and temporary immigration levels and easing restrictions on temporary workers. The provinces, with the exception of Quebec, also generally went along with the federal immigration strategy, backing large numbers of international students, whose higher tuition helped fund post-secondary schools.
