They should not necessarily enact a stricter policy, but a different process that prioritizes skilled workers in areas of need, and most importantly allows a more streamlined and cost-effective process to test workers for equivalency to practice their trade or skill in Canada.

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

Make "skilled workers" a priority, as well as refugees and people who aren't tied to organized crime or extremist groups

 @9WCRHFQfrom British Columbia  answered…6mos6MO

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.

i dont even know the immigration policy yet

 @8SHJPK4from British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Don't add to the rate of immigration and make sure they don't steal jobs from Canadians who are struggling

 @8MY89V4from British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, not too strict though, but it does need to happen or be reorganized since it has literally gotten to the point where people who are born in Canada and moved to another place for a couple of years have a harder time coming back as citizens with everything in the way over immigrants.

 @Jatzuyufrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

No, Canada honestly needs more people to increase the economy and population.

 @8F5PK2Sfrom British Columbia  answered…5yrs5Y

Make the process easier for skilled workers and enforce a higher standard of english requirement.

 @98TXC9Cfrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

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.

 @93KJD86from British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but make the process easier for skilled workers. And strictly screen immigrants for criminal backgrounds. Then regularly review them to make sure that they become ideal citizens. If they haven't and they're not thankful for being in Canada send them home.

Kamala Harris is considering running for president again in 2028

Kamala Harris has been lying low since her defeat in the presidential race, unwinding with family and senior aides in Hawaii before heading back to the nation’s capital.But privately, the vice president has been instructing advisers and allies to keep her options open — whether for a possible 2028 presidential run, or even to run for governor in her home state of California in two years. As Harris has repeated in phone calls, “I am staying in the fight.”She is expected to explore those and other possible paths forward with family members over the winter holiday season, according to five people in the Harris inner circle, who were granted anonymity to discuss internal dynamics. Her deliberations follow an extraordinary four months in which Harris went from President Joe Biden’s running mate to the top of the ticket, reenergizing Democrats before ultimately crashing on election night.“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” said one former Harris campaign aide. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” said one former Harris campaign aide. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”Harris concedes: 'We must accept the results of this election'SharePlay VideoMost immediately, Harris and her advisers are working to define how and when she will speak out against Donald Trump and reassert her own role in the Democratic Party. Closing out her term as vice president, she’s set to preside over certifying the November election she lost to Trump, and then appear at the once-and-future president’s inauguration on Jan. 20.“There will be a desire to hear her voice, and there won’t be a vacuum for long,” a person close to Harris said.At the same time, Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, will have a long checklist to plow through before they leave the Naval Observatory for good.They have to decide whether they’ll take up permanent residence at their home in Los Angeles, or establish a base elsewhere. No matter where Harris and her family live, some around her have expressed concerns about safety, as her Secret Service protection expires six months after stepping away.
