Canada Striving for Gender Equality to encourage immigration

Other areas of funding for women include loan products which encourage the women-led businesses from Farm Credit Canada and Export Development Canada. Here we find a strong point from RBC Economics which quoted the gain of 4% GDP if gender equality is established which strongly establishes the Immigration to Canada. The Canadian government strongly believes that if women are supported with their businesses in overcoming the barriers now contributing to 16% of the business can do much more in the coming days contributing to Canada's economy while creating well-paid jobs in Canada itself. Bank of Montreal's chief economist Doug Porter said in a statement that the government's plan boosts the women to participate in contributing to Canada's economy. Quebec made clear policies to encourage women as their prominent workforce in some of the technology firms which turned to be low in unemployment.

Huge financial commitments for women immigrants

Now, to sum up, the federal budget allotted $100 million as a financial commitment for the next five years for women in Canada, who wish to immigrate, work and live in Canada, reducing the gender equality, to promote a productive society. It includes allowing the women to return to their respective work after their maternity earlier to the given time and also removing the wage gap between the genders.
