Should the government enact a stricter immigration policy?

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

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

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

yes to keep out terrorists and such

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.

Yes. Close the borders. Deport the 5 or so million international students and TFWs, and deport the 10-15 million foreigners who have gotten citizenship but should not have been allowed to have come here in the first place, and deport all their families and offspring too. Canada should be for Canadians, not the rest of the world. If your grandparents weren’t born here, if you’re not of at least majority British or French ethnic background, then you should be up for deportation.

Yes, I feel like the government should focus on ensuring that the citizens are taken care of before bringing in more and more people. There are a lot of issues with jobs and housing that need to be dealt with, more job opportunities and affordable housing.

Yes, but make the process easier for refugees.screen immigrants for criminal backgrounds and regularly review recent immigrants to ensure they have become productive citizens

Yes, and they must follow up yearly to prove employment or school credtianels. No government funding, no free pass

yes, but there should be checks before entering and no discimnation based on anything to do with the indviudal it should be a non bias checkup.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

More people working to make applications go faster and more skilled workers that don’t get held up fitting in the Canadian healthcare system. More programs for when they get here so they can work faster. Allow extended family so they can help with childcare. First thing is to build affordable housing to get rid of homeless people and have housing for the immigrants.

We need to have the infrastructure to support the number we permit and there needs to be ways to certify and/or supplement training for skilled workers to be able to fill gaps in areas such as healthcare.

I am in favor of making the process easier for skilled workers and creating programs to transfer or upgrade credentials to help them work in their trained fields, thereby filling gaps we have (e.g., healthcare workers), but we also need to have the infrastructure to support them or else it's not fair to anyone.

The government needs to increase processing efficiencies and make immigration easier for skilled tradesman and professional to address employment demands in canada.

No, but provide sufficient services in place that will provide immigrants with the adequate services they need.

The government should have stricter policies for immigrants from countries that are over-represented for producing terrorists, but should be lenient towards other countries.

Yes, but make the process easier for refugees, strictly screen immigrants for criminal backgrounds, more guidelines/rules regarding funding for refugees and immigrants for less financial impact on Canadian citizens.

no, its already harsh to get a visa, but allow for enough immigrants that we can afford to accommodate.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

No but make the system scan immigrants to insure they are positive additions to the country and are not violent offenders.

Yes, but have 3 year trial program to ensure immigrants adjust well, where they will be checked on and assisted

Make the process easier for refugees, and no. Unless Canada is going through an overpopulation crisis at the time.

Cap non-refugee immigration at 1% of the total population per year, but streamline the process & update the intake numbers at every census.

No, but we need to start implementing a stronger respect for canadian culture, they can continue their culture here of course. But there is a big difference between how we are expected to respect culture, like say going to Japan for example and following their social culture. And then when people come here they are often let off easy. It depends on the situation but there is a trend in these scenarios happening more often.

Too many migrants come in and suffer from high housing prices and prices. We should limit the number

Due to our high number of immigrants within the country, the government should make legislation in which individuals who are educated within their country can have an opportunity to prove their skills here to achieve their desired work. In the future ensure a more diverse immigrant population as well as maybe have more regulations of immigrations example, having desirable skills, education or anything of such.

There are way to many Imagrants. Why are there so many coming in and taking Canadian jobs. It used to be that Imagrants had to apply to come to Canada but Trudeau want to fill our country with as many imagrants as possible. Not fair for Canadians

Yes and No. Have them well screened and make sure they will be productive citizens If they do not show reposibility of becoming productive citizens, re-consider their immigration application.

Accept immigrants, but make sure that the citizens of Canada are employed and their needs are met.

no if you want more than build some more houses

psych screen

no, and have refugees go through the same process as immigrants. make immigrants and refugees equal in terms of citizens.

The government should not enact on a stricter immigration policy, unless they have a criminal background and have been caught many times

Right now I think it’s fine

Yes, screen immigrants for criminal backgrounds; if it turns out they do have a criminal background, they must prove that they are okay via psychological evaluations, community service/rehab, etc

Yes. It is a priviledge to live in Canada and needs to be more strictly monitored.

Strictly screen and provide criminal background checks for immigrants and depending on how severe those crimes are and how often they’ve committed crimes they can be admitted into the country.

if our country is pro-diversity then why would we spend so much money on it.

no less strict

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.

The policy seems to be fine where it is.

Lack of research to form an opinion

accept immigrants, but put aboriginal people before.

Yes, bar people with criminal records

I think immigrants should decide if they want to work or go to school, and would have a parole officer check in every once in a while. They would be able to qualify for student loans to go to school, but background checks would be have to be done

If there is enough jobs and homes available

No, provide more support for immigrants instead

no, but we should make it easier for people living in poverty to immigrate, the current system is very classist

Just check if people are actually trying to be a proactive and productive citizens

Don’t understand

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.

Whoever can contribute more than they take

Stop giving them so much money

Should be expelled if involved in crime within first five years

No, make the porcess easier for non criminals, but make sure they have become protective citizens for up to 10 years

Yes but give the same due process to refugees as other immigrants waiting to enter Canada , but expedite processing

Yes strict screening for immigrants for backgrounds and ensure they become productive citizens that speak English

Yes and no. If they are workers they should be allowed in AFTER a screening process. However, to prevent overpopulation they should check the policies

Allow immigrants who are going to participate in building the country and no government funding for at least ten years them working and paying tax

I find current policy sufficient, but in my opinion government should review recent immigrants to ensure they have become productive citizens. As an immigrant, I've seen a lot of unjustice when immigrants from "problem countries" were getting much more benefits than they actually needed.

Yes, strictly screen immigrants for criminal backgrounds and we should regularly review recent immigrants to ensure they have become productive citizens

No, but it should be easier for skilled workers to work in their area of training.

No, Canada relies on immigration both socially and economically due to our low birth rate

No, but review immigrants to ensure they are becoming productive citizens.

No, it should concentrate on fixing the bureaucracy so that that applications and refugee screening is streamlined.

Yes, but limit the number to skilled workers to avoid 'brain drain' of developing countries.

Government should be abolished

I think the way it is right now is fine.

Immigration policy’s are currently racist and corrupt and need to be abolished and renewed in a anti-racist manner!

No, we need a different policy altogether

They should not make immigration stricter, but be mindful of what is best for the country at the same time

No, and make the immigration process easier for skilled workers

Background must be conducted for criminal or potential terrorist political ties... productive citizen or financial ability to support the country should be required - not a drain on public funding. A review after is redundant if the police is followed

If people already have family here and do not have a criminal record they should be able to come to Canada

Yes, make them stricter but change what they are strict about and what areas they cover.

Stricter in a way where immigrants who have a slight criminal background will need to pass a check to make sure they won't do any violent activities in Canada.

No, but make it easier for skilled workers and refugees.

Yes, screen them and do background checks. Also check in on them to make sure they are being productive citizens.

No, and make the process easier for those without a criminal background

No, but review to ensure immigrants have made it functionally into society

I think that we should direct more funding to helping canadian citizens improve their economic outlook from Immigration, but also allow skilled people the opprotunity to move to canada alongside their families easier.

Yes, but only because there is currently a global Pandemic going on.

yes, but make the process easier for family reunions

Yes, but from countries that do not respect canadian values(china, russia, north korea)

not necessarily but they have to have a screening process to make sure were not letting terrorists in
