No, accept anyone who's not a violent criminal

Exceeding a countries absorption rate for newcomers negatively impacts cost of living, cost of housing, etc. Access to a country isn't a right. It's a privilege.

We do not have the infrastructure, jobs, public services, housing, etc to support the people that are already here. We cannot have serious conversations about immigration, much less increasing immigration, until we improve the state of the country that they will be moving to, and for the people that live there already.

If they have a criminal status then who knows they might be dangerous but it doesn't mean if they haven't done anything bad in a long time and how theey are acting better still doesn't mean they can't enter

Accept immigrants based on their criminal history, and their use to our society. As well as based on how much we actually need immigrants at that current time period.

it is irrational to believe that anyone who hasn't committed violent crime wont in the future, or that the person cant be dangerous, or harmful towards the country

it overlooks the complexity of immigration policy and the potential economic, social, and security challenges that can arise from overly lenient or indiscriminate admission criteria.

recently, public safety and criminal acts have increased due to immigration when no background checks, so immigration should be mandated based on criminal convictions.

Someone has committed a serious crime would be more likely to commit another serious than someone who has never committed a crime.

Canada's social programs are under enough strain with the amount of people in the country as is, bringing in more will only increase that issue

Absolutely not! Balance is key and too many in a short amount of time causes a strain on social services, housing and health care. It's also a main contributor to wage stagnation and decreased employment opportunities for the native population. We should want to take care of our own first before trying to "save the world".

We need to support Canadians here at home first, the gouvernement has a obligation to it’s l’an citizen

Due to the extremely limited number of housing units and limited jobs, only the most preferential immigrants should be considered, especially considering how unethical it is to allow someone into the country when we cannot even guarantee they'll be able to get housing and employment.

We do not have the housing, infrastructure, jobs or doctors/health care to support more immigration at this time. In Nova Scotia, it will take us upwards of 10 years to catch up to the growth we have experienced over the last few years, even if net growth becomes 0. Let's take care of and house our own, so that we can properly facilitate immigration in the future.

I will accept someone who takes all the legal steps to become a citizen of Canada and does not enter illegaly.

The current level of immigration is unsustainable. Immigration is used as a tool to fraudulently increase GDP while decreasing wages. We are also in the midst of an extreme housing crisis. We need to reduce the amount of immigration.

Allowing anyone who isn't a violent criminal might strain public resources, like jobs and social services, making it difficult to provide for everyone. We need to balance helping immigrants and taking care of our own people.

A mild restriction on immigration would be preferred over opening floodgates completely. At least until we are able to sufficiently handle the load

You shouldn't be able to let in unlimited people because they might overwhelm the systems and services that we have in place and couls also create a housing shortage.

I think honestly we should make it easier for skilled trade workers from other countries to immigrate to Canada ahead of anyone else

We don't have the space in Canada to have as many people immigrating to Canada. Space as in housing, jobs and what not

This will put a strain on the resources that we have and there isnt enough to go around now so how will we make do if anyone and everyone comes into the country as long as they aren't "violent" given a reason, anyone can become violent.

We are already trying to make room for all the people who have come in lately. With wage growth lower than inflation for decades we need to tackle productivity and capital problems. Brining in a cheaper labour force of educated folks doesn't solve the either of those issues.

If we’re accepting anyone who isn’t a violent criminal we will be accepting a large number of immigrants who might not have the skill set that will benefit Canadien Society. Therefore, there should be a process to determine if the immigrant will be able to benefit Canada in a meaningful manner

We have too many options to be accepting anyone. We need to only accept skilled workers and people who provide value to prevent overpopulation.

if we let every non criminal into canada we wouldn't be canadian anymore and we would be a new india.

just because their not a violent criminal doesn't mean their fit for Canada, they should have to meet requirements, for example having a clean criminal record

They could still become violent criminals. Plus what if they have no business here what are they doing?

Allowing anyone who isn't a violent criminal might strain public resources, like jobs and social services, making it difficult to provide for everyone. We need to balance helping immigrants and taking care of our own people.

It would be simply ridiculous to accept criminals into our country. We must accept skilled workers and people that will bring an economic benefit into our country.

It is brainless to not even evalaute how many and which kind of immigrants the country can absorb per year to have a net economic benefit
