Electoral District (2011):
@8VNVRVCNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Temporary reduce immigration to allow housing stock to increase
@9VHB42L7mos7MO
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.
@9VDT7NFNew Democratic7mos7MO
Yes, largely due to the fact the government needs to take care of everyone here first, then help others when we financially can.
@9THPBH6New Democratic 7mos7MO
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.
@9TFH5SR7mos7MO
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
@9RC6CSZNew Democratic9mos9MO
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)
@9MLZTRKNew Democratic11mos11MO
Ensure we have the infrastructure in place for the incoming population while supporting the existing unhomed population
Yes, but invest in language learning programs and support programs that enable them more social mobility
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
@9JZVYL6New Democratic 1yr1Y
Allow immigration but not so much that it compromises the ability of citizens and other immigrants to feed/house themselves.
@96D77FQNew Democratic3yrs3Y
yes, make the process easier for skilled workers, and make it easier and available for refugees but enact strict screening rules to filter anyone with ties to crime or violence
@95YJRW3New Democratic3yrs3Y
Depends on where they are from, how long they have been waiting to immigrate, and why they are immigrating.
@95PBDZ6New Democratic3yrs3Y
Immigration should be supported, but not hands-free. Screening to ensure the decrease in immigration of dangerous criminals escaping conviction, or other dangerous criminal offences immigrants may hold, should be part of the process, but the process should also be humane, fair and understanding, with no racial bias of the workers, and affordable.
@95K9T6HNew Democratic3yrs3Y
The policy needs to be reviewed to make sure immigrants are supported when they get here.
@95J425Q3yrs3Y
Yes, but those with degrees and professional jobs should be able to transfer their certifications and not have to retake all schooling
@959PTL8New Democratic3yrs3Y
depending on the circumstance weather it’s a refugee or immigrant there should be a very organized way of treating anyones situation while always enquiring safety in canada for those who need it in
@93KS3GS3yrs3Y
Yes, but make the process easier for skilled workers and abolish jus soli (citizenship for being born on Canadian soil)
@8WXV6JWNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Provide better opportunities for their education to be utilized in Canada
@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.
@8VW4THJ4yrs4Y
Policy should be restrictive of people coming from countries that are economically similar to Canada and looser for refugees
@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.
@8VT3ZLMNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Stop discriminating against white people trying to immigrate.
@8VQ29ZWNew Democratic4yrs4Y
I believe that we should implement the same immigration vetting processes for ALL immigrants. Thorough criminal record checks, to even ensuring the people who are sponsoring them are upstanding. Any religion should not be a factor of denying anyone’s immigration rights.
@8V6VN9S4yrs4Y
immigration policies should not end when they enter the country. there should be much more help and support. less strict rules for immigrants to get jobs or study.
@8TXKHC94yrs4Y
The immigration policy is strict already, overpopulation should be considered, and provided help and jobs to the people immigrating to other provinces outside of the "hubs" should be taken into consideration.
@8TQTW27New Democratic4yrs4Y
No, maintain or modestly increase immigration levels, but implement more thorough criminal background checks
@8TKGQ3D4yrs4Y
No, we should increase the amount of immigrants we welcome in Canada, especially young immigrants and immigrant families .
@8SZSJ2BNew Democratic4yrs4Y
yES, BUT CHECK MOSTLY FOR CRIMINAL BACKGROUNDS AND HOW THEY COULD BE PRODUCTIVE TO THE COUNTRY AND MAKE PROCESS A LOT EASIER FOR REFUGEES.
@8SYMJHT4yrs4Y
No, but review recent 8mm8grants to ensurebthe6buqvevbevome productive citizens after 2 years.
@8SX2T62New Democratic4yrs4Y
No, accept anyone who is not a violent criminal and review them after a year to ensure they have become productive citizens.
@8R4SVN4New Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, they should but not because we have too many immigrants, we should run checks to see any criminal activity and depending on if it was necessary as a human rights issue for how they acted then it would be under consideration
@8QWC29JNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Government should increase stricter policies on non skilled workers, and ensure they are productive citezens
@8PW3MV4New Democratic4yrs4Y
No, but review to ensure immigrants have made it functionally into society
@8PLPFVKNew Democratic4yrs4Y
No, accept anyone who is not a dangerous criminal or mentally ill to the point where they are a danger to others.
@8K76JSQNew Democratic4yrs4Y
No, as long as the individual isn't a threat/danger to our country, there is no need. Screw discrimination as well, recognize immigrant's education making sure that fitting our practicies they may keep their liscences and practice their trade, and make it less complicated for refugees needing the safety of a new home.
@8HBG22FNew Democratic5yrs5Y
Not informed enough to comment
@8F5PK2S5yrs5Y
Make the process easier for skilled workers and enforce a higher standard of english requirement.
@9CF8LLSNew Democratic2yrs2Y
The government should carefully access every immigrant to know who deserves citizenship and who does not. That also prevents criminals from becoming citizens.
@9C8DQ83New Democratic2yrs2Y
No, it should be easier across the board
@99HH6R5New Democratic2yrs2Y
Yes, but it should be based on the capacity that our country can accommodate refugees or workers living reasonably well.
@98Q2TM72yrs2Y
No but we shouldn't be funding their lives here and not helping our own people
@9854QWJNew Democratic2yrs2Y
Ensure immigrants are properly assimilated, rather than forming ethnocentric bubbles.
@9464BX6New Democratic3yrs3Y
yes if the economy is unstable. If too many immigrants come it will hurt our economy and will lead to slum.
@8V7RD4LNew Democratic4yrs4Y
No, and we should reduce barriers in our current system for skilled workers.
