EPI 033 - Migration Patterns w/ Matthew Silver - Founder - Silver Immigration

Published: Dec. 7, 2020, 1 p.m.

This week we dive into migration and immigration patterns. From a macro view, humans are the very essence of any productive economy. They are the labor force who create businesses, produce goods and services, pays taxes to support governments in their endeavours and so on. How humans choose to allocate their lives and the reasons for those decisions ripple out from a micro level, especially if they are expanding their activities in favour of upcoming trends.\xa0 Economic opportunities and political ideologies have always been two significant reasonings for migration and immigration behaviours, and in 2020, we are seeing the largest form of migration in North America since the early 80s. \xa0People came to North America for opportunities, and or to escape terrible ideologies. 2020 can be the start to an expanding problem which may cause the need for immigrants to replace the lack of economic productivity in North America.\xa0\nWe sit down with Matthew Silver, Founder of Silver Immigration who specializes in cross-border immigration needs for Canadian/US citizens. Matthew's insights on migration trends and its relation to political strategies is something most people do not talk about on a day-to-day basis. The reality is, any type of cross border activity comes down to one thing - an official document which certifies someones ability to work in either the US or Canada. Matthew's insight certainly are in line with recent political and economic trends, as some North Americans are looking to cross the borders between Canada and United States, to escape their respective country.
