Should immigrants from high risk countries be banned from entering the country until the government improves its ability to screen out potential terrorists?

They should be isolated if it is shown they are a threat and only fully let into the country once proven they aren’t a threat

One bad apple doesn't spoil the whole bunch, but there should be some tight checks for all immigrants especially those determined to be high risk

What are you defining as a high risk country ? It is individuals who may be deemed high risk based on criteria for screening no matter what country they are from. So the government many need to improve its screening processes overall.

There should be proper vetting to make sure that the immigrants entering the country are not terrorists, but there are so many people from those countries that deserve and need safety and protection

We shouldn’t be opening the floodgates to anybody. We need to attract doctors, lawyers, engineers, trades people that can compliment our workforce and create a better place for Canada.

Filtering Terrorists is important but banning people from those countries is discriminatory and should be illegal.

Yes, and the border should be closed and all immigrants should be deported, even the people with citizenship, and their families.

I think the system should look into the background of the individual trying to immigrate, instead of making their decision based on nationality

No we shouldn’t bar an entire country for the actions of internal parties afar, but should have more countermeasures to make sure it’s safe

No banned, but limited until the government improves their screening abilities. Which should be tackled by increasing funding to the facilities that process immigrants. As those facilities are very under staffed and are back logged several years.

I don't think we should necessarily ban all immigrants from hight risk countries, but rather have lots of security checks

they should never be allowed he at all if they are they are watched over by security for at least 5 years minimum to ensure the saftey of the country

depends you can still help immigrants out but box them out before they enter Canada to make sure they are not affiliated with terrorists or have connections with them or cause a threat

They should not be banned, but a thorough review should be done of each individual before they are let into the country, with any risk being denied

they shouldnt be banned from countries if they come for a high risk place as it not their fault as to where they may have grew up

The government should focus strongly on improving the ability to screen for terrorism quickly to allow real refugees safety

If they can pass a criminal background check and ensure no ties to terrorist activity, there is no reason to deny someone just because they are from a “high risk” country.

The government should do very extensive physicological tests to ensure they are not terrorists. And allow all those who pass.

Not banned, but ensure they aren’t coming to Canada prior to this being done.

No, but ensure they pass the background checks & do not have a history of committing serious crimes.

Keep a close eye on them if they are to stay in Canada

Yes and no, improve facilities to ensure maximum safety by allowing thoroughly checked individuals in

Yes, if their beliefs and values do not match our values in Canada they should be banned from here aka India and any Muslim country at the moment.

Terrorism is not my concern- it is the government allowing those from foreign nations to come to Canada and provide them with exponentially more resources, opportunities, and support in comparison to Canadian born citizens. There are COUNTLESS issues and concerns when it comes to immigration policies, and as much as Canada as thrived upon being a melting pot of nationalities and cultures - the current state - or lack thereof - is significantly contributing to the decline of our economy and opportunities for Canadian born citizens. AMONG COUNTLESS OTHER ISSUES

No, but improve vetting & ensure that new immigrants, while still respecting their cultural heritage & ensuring diversity, adapt to contemporary western liberal values.

Yes but small numbers of legitimate, verifiable refugees should still be allowed from these countries.

no, unless there a convited fellon, if they wer previously in jail and is out and is living a better life they should come.

as they could be looking for asylum from that country and when that happens there are way too many people to be properly checked. most immigrants should go through the terrorist screening though regardless of the country they come from.

It depends on the situation; for instance if they are fleeing because their country goes against their rights and freedoms

Yes, but asylum should be granted to them in a sanctioned off area that provides all basic human rights while the screening is being done.

given that we are currently charging people who gained citizenship for plotting an attack with supposed ties to ISIS, yes there should be stricter screening.

No, as individuals who apply for immigration into Canada from high-risk countries may be doing so for their own safety.

I'm pretty sure if we wanted to know everything on a person nowadays we could. You guys got that covered. We work with the US on intelligence. Come on now.

Similarly to the last question, it really depends on the specific situations, and also depends on the specific high risk country.

Immigrants should not be banned from entering the country, but it should become more strict until the government improves its ability to screen out potential terrorists

They shouldn't be banned from entering the country however, they still should run background checks on the people to ensure that they AREN'T potential terrorists.

Yes, as long as the individuals who are screened face no sort of human failure such as prejudice or discrimination due to stereotyping
