Proponents argue that this strategy would bolster national security by minimizing the risk of potential terrorists entering the country. Enhanced screening processes, once implemented, would provide a more thorough assessment of applicants, reducing the likelihood of malicious actors gaining entry. Critics argue that such a policy might inadvertently promote discrimination by broadly categorizing individuals based on their nation of origin rather than specific, credible threat intelligence. It may strain diplomatic relations with the affected countries and potentially harm the perception of the nation enacting the ban, being seen as hostile or prejudiced towards certain international communities. Additionally, genuine refugees fleeing terrorism or persecution in their home countries might be unjustly denied safe haven.

No, banning immigrants based on their religion is unconstitutional beside that should be done on each immigration applicant regardless of religion.
@8QMZF6Q4yrs4Y
No, because there isn't any connection between terrorism and Islam.
@8KQFGKY4yrs4Y
Anybody can be a terrorist. Your religion doesn't make you a terrorist.
@9FLWJ532yrs2Y
no, but I think the immigration process in general should be more secure.
@965PJS83yrs3Y
More screenings for countries with high crime rates and where our charter rights are non existent in their country
@93Y5P7X3yrs3Y
No, but the need for education for immigrants once they have settled is a much needed asset.
@93RQRMV3yrs3Y
No, but we should put better screening in place for high risk countries.
Muslim immigrants should be banned permanently. In fact all immigration should be banned permanently. As a last resort if we urgently need immigrants for whatever reason we should only let in white immigrants which means white Europeans, white South Americans or White South Africans.
@8WFRGBH4yrs4Y
Inter agency/ countries screened and thoroughly qualified
@8VTLWSZ4yrs4Y
yes, but this should apply to all immigrants, not only Muslim
@8VQCVBGLibertarian4yrs4Y
The government should be screening all immigrants for potential terrorists, not just Muslims.
As long as the individual passed a background check
@8VMRQ2F4yrs4Y
yes but give them a safe place to stay in while they are waiting
@8VLZC254yrs4Y

@8VK33KS4yrs4Y
Terrorists are not just Muslim. They are from all walks of life and every country

No, but screenings should still be improved regardless
@8VH5QM34yrs4Y
No. As long as they do a good background check and keep an eye on them for a while.
@8VH2TZWConservative4yrs4Y
No, but our immigration policies should be more rigid and less approved applications
@8VFLJ7N4yrs4Y
Muslim people should not have been in our country at first place and we should have gotten to war.
@8VFJY5V4yrs4Y
Each immigrant, regardless of religion, country, or color, should be screened. No exceptions. Illegal immigration is what needs to be stopped.
@8VDV7PW4yrs4Y
Yes for now, Only allow if screening and background checks as well as overall management of immigration are sufficient to avoid increasing the level of potential threat in the province and country. for those seeking to contribute to society and betterment without extremist beliefs and actions serving as their guiding principles immigration laws should not be prejudiced.
@8VDDTMZ4yrs4Y
No, just do the usual screenings in general *watchout for suicide risks(possible covid sign), have them do the process as hema-Québec, and purpose in country and Province is for Tourisme/To live in Quebec/ Studying/ Employment.
@8VDDK3L4yrs4Y
Muslim immigrants and immigration in general should not be banned. But more schools and hospitals must be built to accommodate our population

@8TVC8WFConservative4yrs4Y
No, but we should screen all immigrants for incompatible moral values
@8TN4GLW4yrs4Y
No, but all immigration should be decreased and the screening process for immigrants should be stricter.
@8TMFSTD4yrs4Y
Immigration should be banned permanently with a few exceptions.
@8SF7HN34yrs4Y
No, but we should limit the number of immigrants from “high risk” countries until our screening methods improve
@8RPYCML4yrs4Y
We should ban illegal immigration and run background checks on legal immigrants.
@8R28YGL4yrs4Y
No, but Muslims should be screened entering country by values test.they should also accept Christianity as being main faith in Canada.
@8QRSQPQ4yrs4Y
if a group of a religion has extremist and have done terrorist attacks they should be more carefully looked at and assessed.
@8QBHYJH4yrs4Y
No but as an immigrant you need to follow and accept Canadian values. Any immigrant that breaks any law should be immediately expeled fron the country.
We should better determine what type of immigration is require and which one will be able to better adapt to our culture, laws and regulation. Combining the previous assessment along with adequate screening process will reduce further cultural issues
@8PVXSKM4yrs4Y
Continue screening and allowing immigrants while the technique improves
@8PRN58W4yrs4Y
There are multiple branches of Muslims, coming from multiple different countries. Not all Muslims are terrorists and should be allowed into the country. Yes there should be background checks, but they should be necessary for everyone to ensure security, not because of religion.

Have a better immigration screening as a whole.
