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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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
