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
@B4PDCFR2 days2D
Because research shows that a refugee is more likely to succeed with little help, while a homeless person will go back to the streets and drugs even after receiving all the help in the world they could prossibly get.
@9FM35GZ2yrs2Y
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.
Yes, but have more refugees and make sure the infrastructure and jobs are present for incoming immigrants
I don’t have a problem with our immigration policy. I think it’s cruel for anyone to try and survive in our current cost of living crisis. Immigrants would have better chances elsewhere same as citizens
@9HQVD3C1yr1Y
right now I think they need to slow down and rework the program that will probably support new comers before bringing them in and having them live on the streets
@9F6VT7Z2yrs2Y
No, but ensure immigrants have the resources they need to have good quality of life here first
@9FR98BT2yrs2Y
yes, people who have been canadian citizens since birth are struggling to find jobs that aren't being done by immigrants
@9FL74YV2yrs2Y
Possibly given the cost of living and rental crisis.
@93LX45Y3yrs3Y
Lack of research to form an opinion
@8W2L44P4yrs4Y
Yes, but there should be a probationary period coming into the country. The government should also be taking care of it’s own people first, especially indigenous reservations that STILL have no running hydro which means no water yet they fork out so much money to support immigrants.
@8VVRL5M4yrs4Y
Would prefer a safe location for immigrants, but also to ensure our homeless population is taken care of first
@8VTY833New Democratic4yrs4Y
We shouldn’t let our corporations keep indentured servants who can’t quit the job they came here to do in order to live here if they have also decided that the way in which we let people immigrate here is wrong.
@8VH26PM4yrs4Y
I want us to accept refugees, but to reconsider the number of economic migrants we accept.
@8V8HP5CConservative4yrs4Y
There should be a test if they can accept western values
@8V7GS8B4yrs4Y
No, accept anyone who is fleeing a situation that threatens having a basic quality of life, who is not a violent criminal, and who intends to accept and contribute the new society they are to join.
@8RB9GDN4yrs4Y
Be prepared for them to have a good safe country to welcome them
@8KJM4TX4yrs4Y
No but we should be monitoring how this is affecting the current state of communities. Is it increasing the quality of like or decreasing it? At this time, I feel our current policy is sufficient, but I wouldn’t want it to get out of control
@8JT4TBZ4yrs4Y
Monitor everyone, including citizens, background checks, allow everyone in
@8FGZW8Z5yrs5Y
Yes, it is easy to circumvent the system
@8F5PK2S5yrs5Y
Make the process easier for skilled workers and enforce a higher standard of english requirement.
@8D8N7PL5yrs5Y
Should be based on basic human empathy and compassion but the day the government does that is the day I marry Jake Gyllenhaal so
@9BHM3FQ2yrs2Y
Have a test that Doctors, nurses and others can take to qualify in Canada.
@9B756C32yrs2Y
I think the policy should not be stricter in a criminal sense but in a moral sense. Like if they were allowed to vote right away I would want them to have proper morals.
@98TXC9C2yrs2Y
Time wise, things should be sped up, i've heard of immigrants waiting to much time to enter the country which could put them in danger in certain situations.
@98Q2TM72yrs2Y
No but we shouldn't be funding their lives here and not helping our own people
@958TX4J3yrs3Y
No, but the government should filter and try to benefit our economy in as many ways as possible.
@943PG5Y3yrs3Y
Yes, but make it more about testing people's morals and beliefs; the high number of attacks on women and LGBTQ people from Religious immigrant men is unacceptable.
No, but I wish for Canada to not become over populated.
