Yes, and close immigration for as long as needed until housing becomes affordable. Immigrants are taking up all the jobs that canadian born citizens should have and we currently have too many immigrants.

 @9MH9FG6from Alberta  answered…7mos7MO

Yes. There’s simply too many people. Limiting the growth of our population will save our environment.

 @9RBYRBTfrom New Brunswick  answered…5mos5MO

Yes, but not do dissuade immigrants. Corporations are using them as an anti-labor tactic, and exploiting their vulnerability to undercut wages and benefits. This is to the detriment of immigrants as well.

 @8VNVRVCNew Democraticfrom British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8QR8QNXPeople’sfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

yes don't let any immigrants in at all and let our country be full of real canadians.

 @8CTWWJ8from Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

No, make the process easier for skilled workers and refugees, but not accept violent criminals.

 @8P9YHMHfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, because the more people or immigrants the prime minister brings in the more people would vote for him.

 @8HYR47Yfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

More to how many refugees we let in the country, if we can’t solve the homeless crisis and people in poverty and make life better for those people who live in our country. Why should I pay taxes to house, clothed and feed refugees when we can’t even help our own citizens in need a

 @9G9BS6ZConservativefrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, because canadian citizens can barley afford to live here. in order to allow more immigrants we have to have a financially feasible living situation.

 @8TMMLBDfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

yes and no the more immigration that come they need house and most immigration come from Asia and when they convert there money they make more and if a Canadian is trying to buy a house an immigrant will be able to buy because they can spend more money on it and if this keeps happing canadines will not be able to buy a house

 @8NW2DWMfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Allow those who wish to come with terrorist screening and no government assistance

 @B25NRZWanswered…6 days6D

Strict screenings and reviews for economic immigrants; continue to be open to asylum seekers and refugees fleeing violent situations.

 @B24T739from Ontario  answered…1wk1W

No, but the government needs to ensure they better support immigrants once they are here, in a way that integrates the needs of both immigrants AND citizens.

 @9ZYVF3Mfrom Ontario  answered…3wks3W

No, I believe there is a belief that their are too many immigrants because we allowed skilled immigrants entrance and they are able to easily get jobs

 @9ZVG4LXfrom Ontario  answered…4wks4W

I think we should still allow immigrants but look into their backgrounds better and don’t make it as easy to be a canadian citizen

 @9ZQV5PZfrom Ontario  answered…1mo1MO

No, as the immigration itself is not at issue, but the government must ensure the barriers for immigrants to find work in their relevant fields is easier - doctors should have a pathway to being a doctor in Canada, engineers should have a pathway to professional engineering in Canada, etc.

 @9ZMYJ4Pfrom Ontario  answered…1mo1MO

Make the process easier for skilled workers but also screen them thoroughly. Especially if they have been convicted of any crime abroad. Any layman with a felony type charge on their record should not be allowed into Canada.

 @9ZLDVNLfrom Ontario  answered…1mo1MO

Strictly screen immigrants for criminal backgrounds and make the process easier for skilled workers.

 @9ZKKRXNfrom Alberta  answered…1mo1MO

Yes, we have too many people coming into the country when compared to our infrastructure and housing. We need to build more if we want to let more people in.

 @9ZK4V3Qfrom Ontario  answered…1mo1MO

Yes and do follow up’s that once they are that they are getting money and not living out of the country

 @9ZBDT9DGreenfrom New Brunswick  answered…2mos2MO

Welcome a maximum of immigrants and refugees, and ensure that we have the infrastructure (housing, health, education, etc.) that is sufficient for that purpose.

 @9Z94W4Gfrom Saskatchewan  answered…2mos2MO

The government needs to enact better and more ethical immigration policies that don’t rely so heavily on the exploitation of temporary foreign workers

 @9YNCRS7from Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

Yes but monitor to make sure they are productive citizens and also make it easier for skilled trades to come in

 @9YH7YH9from Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

Student's shouldn't be allowed to immigrate, but normal immigration policies for immigrants are sufficient enough

 @9YFZV7Dfrom Quebec  answered…2mos2MO

Yes but in a sense that immigrants become a productive citizen and not a disruptive one whether it be them breaking the law or becoming nuisance and not respecting Canada

 @9WYDMSDfrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

Yes, eliminate all immigration and deport anyone who does not hold canadian citizenship until the cost of living significantly decreases, unemployment rates in every region of the country is below 1% and the average cost of a 4 bedroom 2 bath house is less than 200k on a national average. when we achieve that and the debt is eliminated bring in more people but not on work permits or student programs, only take in people who can prove they hold the same basic values of the country who are fluent in english.

 @9WQFYHHfrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

Yes, but we should lessen our reliance on temporary foreign workers who are subject to being exploited

 @9WJFRFQConservativefrom Saskatchewan  answered…2mos2MO

yes we have too many immigrants and they should be reviewed to ensure they have become productive citizens

 @9W27N27from Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

they should but also they can give opportunities or jobs to these people who are coming because they are coming for a reason.

 @9VRMS6Zfrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

Provide sanctuary for people, but not in cities that are already suffering from overpopulation and a housing crisis. Disperse diversity.

 @9VN6GYHLiberalfrom Nova Scotia  answered…3mos3MO

No but at the same time Canadians have been having a hard time to get jobs and houses due to immigration.

 @9T6LHXR from British Columbia  answered…4mos4MO

No, but we need to onboard immigrants with their rights and duties along with how to protect themselves from systemic abuse.

 @9T6K963from Ontario  answered…4mos4MO

Canada should continue accepting immigrants, but the government should strengthen its selection process to ensure quality candidates. A quota system based on country or race should also be implemented to prevent any single group from dominating.

 @9T64K8RConservativefrom Ontario  answered…4mos4MO

Yes, we currently have too many immigrants, make the process easier for skilled workers, strictly screen immigrants for criminal backgrounds, and regularly review recent immigrants every 5 months for their first 2 years to ensure they have become productive citizens and then stop.

 @9T5CJT8from Alberta  answered…4mos4MO

Well, we should look at housing and job employment before bringing more immigrants as we are going through issues that Canada is currently not fixing. They should allow immigrants in, but have sufficient resources to supply them.

 @9T5B6VLfrom Alberta  answered…4mos4MO

my opinion said the government should give a chance to international students, who spent more than 6 years being students in Canada. Why 6 years ? cause it's been a long time, not just came from another country study college or University to get PR but students has started study in highschool.

 @9T2RLC5from British Columbia  answered…4mos4MO

We need to balance being open to refugees and immigrants, but there needs to be much better connection between what # the federal government allows in without also providing adequate funding to the provinces to enable everyone (including existing people in BC) access to essential/basic needs (housing, health care, food, etc)

 @9SZ9PFQfrom Alberta  answered…4mos4MO

yes but within reason, we need to fix canadian problems while also supporting immigrants into canadian society

 @9FR4Q6CRhinocerosfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

No, and make the process easier for refugees, while accepting anyone who’s not a violent criminal, or with any criminal records

 @9FP3QX2from Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

 @9FN6Z9Lfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, expedite the process for skilled workers (doctors, other medical professionals, electricians, plumbers, etc as long as they're qualified) while increasing screening measures for terrorists, communist party members, gang affiliates and violent offenders

 @9FM9QN9from British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

 @9FM6M46from Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

 @9FM35GZfrom British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

Immigrants should get a background check, but it should be easier to accept refugees fleeing from war torn countries. They could receive additional background checks throughout their time in canada to ensure they are including themselves in society.

 @9FJFXK8from Manitoba  answered…1yr1Y

Allow people who are in need to immigrate such as refugees but lower amounts

 @9FHGSQWfrom British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

lower immigration rates for the mean time, as the housing crisis is out of control.

 @9FFJC45from Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

 @98Z9PLXfrom Nova Scotia  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, with stricter screening, faster wait times, easier processes for the skilled and more incentives to increase birth rate

 @9WCRHFQfrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

It should be balanced between different communities and that skilled laborers should be given priority. Refugees should only make up 40% of all immigrants in an annual year.

 @9W4WBQ7Conservativefrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

In my opinion, the policies on immigration needed to be ok like every immigrants need to have same privileges which Canadians have.

 @9VMM6BBfrom Alberta  answered…3mos3MO

Conditions to citizenship need to be monitored and then people should be charged with crimes when they somehow make those conditions by paying for those positions. I have seen too many supervisor/manager jobs go to immigrants with no experience over Canadians with experience. 100% there is wrong doing, it's wide spread, it's easy to spot and nothing is done to stop it by the government.

 @9VKWFRPfrom British Columbia  answered…3mos3MO

The government should make immigrating easier for labor workers and parents of Canadian citizens. having no criminal record or minor offenses

 @9VHB42Lfrom Saskatchewan  answered…3mos3MO

No, and provide better services for education so that children can be better supported. Help skilled workers transfer over skills so they can do the job they are trained for.

 @9VFXSQPfrom British Columbia  answered…3mos3MO

Make the process the way it works better for everyone, however, it should be easier for the families to join.

 @9VDT7NFNew Democraticfrom British Columbia  answered…3mos3MO

Yes, largely due to the fact the government needs to take care of everyone here first, then help others when we financially can.

 @9V72V7Ffrom British Columbia  answered…3mos3MO

Yes, and check on immigrants to see that they are assimilating to cansdian culture, actively trying to learn the language.

 @9V46Q2Wfrom British Columbia  answered…3mos3MO

Help refugees find other solutions if they can't come to Canada. But, I do think we need to slow down the number of immigrants coming to Canada. We should prioritize those who we know have an important reason for coming.

 @9TY54NKfrom Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

Have a certain quota, to not have too many people in one place at a time. to prevent inflation, polution and over population

 @9TX6BCCfrom British Columbia  answered…3mos3MO

We should accept refugees but decide their cases quicker. For all refugees and other forms of immigrants we need to make sure we have enough services

 @9TWGQ52from Alberta  answered…3mos3MO

Yes, Ensuring those immigrating to have a proper job before entering the country. Its really stupid in the job market when you have a 3rd party getting a job over you, when your more qualified because the company thinks they can pay the immigrant less. Stricter policies ensure that doesn't happen as much while also holding the company accountable for who they hire.

 @9TVQQC4from Alberta  answered…3mos3MO

Take the money that goes to aiding immigration and help Aboriginal communities in need or help to pay educational costs for them.

 @9TS635Hfrom Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

No, but they should put more of their efforts into helping immigrants find jobs outside big cities (like Toronto)

 @Brandonnoe84  from Colorado  answered…3mos3MO

Yes, strictly screen immigrants for criminal background, but make the process easier for skilled workers and regularly review immigrants to ensure the have become productive citizens

 @9TP237NConservativefrom Alberta  answered…3mos3MO

Make the process easier for refugees, but also check on the immigrants to see if they've been productive since they've been here.

 @9TLF4ZNfrom New Brunswick  answered…3mos3MO

We shouldn’t add more people than we can care for, but if the funding was properly managed in the country it wouldn’t be an issue. It’s more a financial and housing issue more than overpopulation issue, and we constantly battle against ourselves instead of just loving one another and acting decent to everyone.

 @9THPBH6New Democratic from Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

No, but slow down how many we accept for now until we build more homes for the current immigrants than start letting them in at a slower more controlled pace.

 @9TFH5SRfrom Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

I think there shouldn’t be a overall country limit to immigrants but limits in each province to prevent high population density in one place

 @9T9Y95Zfrom Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

yes, we have too many immigrants but make it easier for skilled worker althought if they have a bad criminal background dont let them in and the governament should review immigrant entill they become a full citizen

 @9T7XY37from Alberta  answered…4mos4MO

The main reason for our housing prices doubling in the last how-ever many years is due to Trudeau letting in far too many immigrants when Canada didn't have enough space for all of them, they're also occupying the vast majority of minimum wage jobs which is heavily interfering with canada's new generation getting jobs and introduced to the work force.

 @9SLJBJVfrom British Columbia  answered…4mos4MO

Easier for skilled workers, must be productive citizens, screen out those with criminal backgrounds and deport anyone convicted of a crime (once here) despite their residency status…ie, the ability to revoke citizenship)

 @9SHQ6NGfrom Ontario  answered…4mos4MO

The immigration policy without proper implementation results in xenophobia and racism. We need better infrastructure for immigration into the less populated areas of Canada, this is the 2nd largest country in the world, the population doesn't reflect that.

 @9SH6DQRCommunistfrom Ontario  answered…4mos4MO

Yes, but have more refugees and make sure the infrastructure and jobs are present for incoming immigrants

 @9RXF7FTfrom Ontario  answered…5mos5MO

Yes, but we should settle immigrants away from overcrowded centers (ie. Toronto) and into new settlements or underpopulated areas across the country.

 @9RQNPMRfrom Nova Scotia  answered…5mos5MO

We need to close the loopholes that allow fraudulent applications and abuses of the system. Fake university places. Dodgy immigration consultants etc. Stop landlords from charging rent to students outside of the school year so that they can get harvesting work in the summer away from the city.

 @9RKP66VIndependentfrom Ontario  answered…5mos5MO

Yes, but have an assimilation program to make it easier for immigrants to adapt and learn the Canadian culture of where they are to live.

 @9RJ6K3Vfrom Ontario  answered…5mos5MO

Yes, until the housing crisis in under control and we have places for new Canadians to stay once present Canadians have already been housed.

 @9RDJFXLfrom Ontario  answered…5mos5MO

Geographic limitations should be a stance, and high skilled trades in or trades in demand should be offered. There should also be a job market predications... "In 5 years we won't have enough bodies to fill in xxx job" and so people with that particular skill are considered.

 @9RCBSYBfrom Ontario  answered…5mos5MO

No, but the process should be easier for skilled workers with strict screening for criminal backgrounds to keep serious and violent criminals out. Immigrants should be encouraged to become productive citizens with consideration to their individual circumstances. They should be directed to where they can get language education and provided assistance if required. The process for refugees should be made easier.

 @9RC6CSZNew Democraticfrom Nova Scotia  answered…5mos5MO

Yes, but more skilled workers and less students via diploma mills who are aiming to get their parents PR status (not hearsay, they'll say this themselves)

 @9QX2PLHfrom Prince Edward Island  answered…5mos5MO

Don't deport them when they've already arrived but start to make stricter policies for those which didn't came.

 @9QQMCYTfrom Ontario  answered…6mos6MO

Yes, due to the current housing crisis, but not to strict to the point where nobody can immigrate to Canada

 @9Q6NY5Xfrom Alberta  answered…6mos6MO

Yes, we currently have too many immigrants, but for the new immigrants in Canada have regular reviews on their life to ensure they have become productive citizens, but also ensure their living conditions are safe, and reasonable.

 @9PXWXKPfrom Ontario  answered…6mos6MO

Yes, it should be stricter to immigrate because we have too many, but we should make it easier for refugees.

 @9PLKSNCfrom Ontario  answered…6mos6MO

Yes, but make sure it’s focused on bringing in top quality talent and increased process of temporary workers to permanent residents

 @9N6PVFHanswered…7mos7MO

Yes, but make it easier based on skill and job market. Also stop bringing in refugees or stop funding them from other canadian's tax money

 @9MY8CRVfrom Saskatchewan  answered…7mos7MO

Immigration needs to be vetted with lie Detector tests. Questions should be about Jews. Do you hate Jews, do you think Israel shouldn’t exist, do you think Jews shouldn’t exist. If the lie detector determines they are antisemitic then no they can’t immigrate here.
That’s the first layer, the second layer is depending on our infrastructure, you can only allow immigration that is in line with our infrastructure, the population shouldn’t be larger than what our infrastructure can handle. Example if we are 5.8 million houses short and can’t find a family doctor then that is a indication of our infrastructure under stress.

 @9MX2TPBfrom Alberta  answered…7mos7MO

Incentivize immigration so new (prospective) Canadians settle where they are needed, economically and socially.

 @9MTKF53Liberalfrom Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

Immigration Policy can be enchanced in order to get skillful people for the development of the country rather than bringing unskilled people .

 @9MMYRQ7from Alberta  answered…7mos7MO

Accept the people who are good with no crimes but people with crimes look into there background. But also don't let too many in because of overpopulation.

 @9MLZTRKNew Democraticfrom Nova Scotia  answered…7mos7MO

Ensure we have the infrastructure in place for the incoming population while supporting the existing unhomed population

 @9ML75L2from Illinois  answered…7mos7MO

Yes, screen immigrants' backgrounds and fast track ones with high demand roles. Balance the cultures coming into Canada.

 @9M9P7XTfrom Ontario  answered…8mos8MO

I believe currently the answer of war and crimes in countries is immigration, but we can't handle this many immigrants so I think that we should work towards having better countries so people don't immigrate as much.

 @9M7PZL8from Alberta  answered…8mos8MO

I want to be able to bring my inlaws here so that the family is together but we have waaay to many people coming in for it to be sustainable

 @9LS9R2Wfrom Ontario  answered…8mos8MO

It depends on if the the province they go into can afford and had enough funding to help them and there is open spots for work

 @9LRCQVXfrom Prince Edward Island  answered…8mos8MO

I feel as though there's too many, but they provide good services for us. We need to push a limit for how many can enter, and the ones who can't should be redirected to the EU.

 @9LP28BLfrom Quebec  answered…8mos8MO

Take care of our homeless and Canadian citizens before taking care of other countries. We have a lot going on in Canada, and the millions of dollars Trudeau has spent on numerous occasions would have benefited our own country and the taxpayers funding his spending

 @9LKR58Yfrom Saskatchewan  answered…8mos8MO

Once again, this issue is too nuanced for someone like me with a very baseline understanding of the problems.
