If you had to make a decision about who gets into a country, what factors would you think are most important to consider?

I believe that we should be choose the best of the best in terms of academics and economics. Moving here should be a privilege and not a right. If someone can come here and contribute, welcome them with open arms.

A factor would be an openness to culture shift. We are secular, progressive society which can be a culture shock.

If you need to seek asylum or start a life in Canada, you're Canadian.

The capacity and population of the country they are attempting to enter, their plans when they enter the country (working, just visiting, planning to live here)

if they know about our country and the rights and laws.

Crimes, the size of a family, how well do the know the language

If they've got a lengthy criminal record, that's about it. I don't care where they come from.

-If there country is safe for them to stay in
-If they are criminals
-If they are educated
-If they have family in the country they are trying to enter
-If they speak the language of the country they are trying to get into

Immigration can improve the economy vastly, especially those who pay their taxes. The government should be promoting immigration to the country, rather than looking to make more restrictions. There should be a way to document them, to better integrate them to society.

The immigrants should have no crimes committed and something to provide for the country.

If they have a criminal record, what country they come from and the reason they are immigrating.
