Should the government enact a stricter immigration policy?

No, make the process easier for skilled workers and refugees, but not accept violent criminals.

More to how many refugees we let in the country, if we can’t solve the homeless crisis and people in poverty and make life better for those people who live in our country. Why should I pay taxes to house, clothed and feed refugees when we can’t even help our own citizens in need a

Temporary reduce immigration to allow housing stock to increase

yes and no the more immigration that come they need house and most immigration come from Asia and when they convert there money they make more and if a Canadian is trying to buy a house an immigrant will be able to buy because they can spend more money on it and if this keeps happing canadines will not be able to buy a house

yes don't let any immigrants in at all and let our country be full of real canadians.

Yes, because the more people or immigrants the prime minister brings in the more people would vote for him.

Allow those who wish to come with terrorist screening and no government assistance

Take care of our homeless and Canadian citizens before taking care of other countries. We have a lot going on in Canada, and the millions of dollars Trudeau has spent on numerous occasions would have benefited our own country and the taxpayers funding his spending

Once again, this issue is too nuanced for someone like me with a very baseline understanding of the problems.

There's too much of an immigration influx from certain countries coming in. Rules magically change for refugees. So, in certain circumstances rules are meant to be broken. There should be a more flexible immigration policy by allowing to bring a mother, father, sister, brother, cousin, aunt, uncle, or close friend, if they have some sort of record of being a good person by volunteering in their communities.

YES, very strict screening on criminal background, must assimilate (but we already have a Balkanized state that has serious problems). Remove those who engage in criminal activity and ban for life. Look for skilled workers or those who can become skilled workers. There may need to be an IQ test administered because we live in a world of increasing complexity and sadly there are those who cannot even enter the US military for lack of cognitive ability.

Yes, scan them for violent crimes but let them in if the crime has happened more then 5 years ago and they are fully rehabilitated.

Yes but to a certain extent. If they are dangerous or a criminal, they are absolutely not allowed but if they are a family who is wealthy or is on the road to that, then no need to bring in more people.

Yes, but invest in language learning programs and support programs that enable them more social mobility

I don’t have a problem with our immigration policy. I think it’s cruel for anyone to try and survive in our current cost of living crisis. Immigrants would have better chances elsewhere same as citizens

No, but i do think we need to slow down with immigrants and solve the huge housing and homelessness isssues

Due to our high number of immigrants within the country, the government should make legislation in which individuals who are educated within their country can have an opportunity to prove their skills here to achieve their desired work. In the future ensure a more diverse immigrant population as well as maybe have more regulations of immigrations example, having desirable skills, education or anything of such.

Control the intake of immigrants and make sure certain provinces are not overwhelmed with the influx ie. Ontario, Vancouver.
Ontarians currently feel they now have to compete with immigrants for jobs, and the colleges have filled classes with immigrants rather than students who are Canadian.

There are way to many Imagrants. Why are there so many coming in and taking Canadian jobs. It used to be that Imagrants had to apply to come to Canada but Trudeau want to fill our country with as many imagrants as possible. Not fair for Canadians

Yes, but always let refugees in, unless they have serious criminal backgrounds or other harmful traits.

It's always a delicate balance. If we get too tough, we risk turning away people who are fleeing brutal conflict, but if we're too lenient, we let in more than we can handle. It really depends on context rather than emotions. Keep it the same as now.

Yes and No. Have them well screened and make sure they will be productive citizens If they do not show reposibility of becoming productive citizens, re-consider their immigration application.

Immigrants should be assessed for economic feasibility within jobs that are having difficulty filling employment requirements. Allow for percentage of refugees and strictly screen for criminality until the criminal system is improved and stricter enforcement is implemented.

No however anyone whos intending to cause crime or has any criminal record should not be in the country.

Yes, because canadian citizens can barley afford to live here. in order to allow more immigrants we have to have a financially feasible living situation.

Yes but only if logistic are in place to support them in employment, housing, education and health care

Our current policy is sufficient but we could benefit from some stricter rules about people coming into the country to have fewer people that could be dangerous

No, and follow up with the settlement and an assistance with programs for children and adults to improve their situation faster

Increase restrictions on student immigration for colleges while making it easier for skilled workers

Strengthen immigration laws while ensuring sufficient housing and employment are available before immigrants become residents.

Yes, in the sense we don't over populate. Insuring Canadians can still get jobs. etc highschool student, how can they apply for jobs if most jobs are full and have enough employees (ran by immigrants)

No, and make the process easier for refugees, while accepting anyone who’s not a violent criminal, or with any criminal records

No, accept anyone who is deemed not to be a threat to PUBLIC safety.

Yes, expedite the process for skilled workers (doctors, other medical professionals, electricians, plumbers, etc as long as they're qualified) while increasing screening measures for terrorists, communist party members, gang affiliates and violent offenders

Yes, in order to acquaint responsible citizens.

slow down until the housing crisis is resolved

Immigrants should get a background check, but it should be easier to accept refugees fleeing from war torn countries. They could receive additional background checks throughout their time in canada to ensure they are including themselves in society.

Allow people who are in need to immigrate such as refugees but lower amounts

let my people be free

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

Have a set number of immigrants and only allow that many in.

Yes but make the process easier for skilled workers AND spouses/immedaite family

Screen to see if they have been productive , but make it easier for them aswell.

accept immigrants, but put aboriginal people before.

yes, your inlaws, cousins, neighbour needs to go through their own process. so does your adult child.

Yes, bar people with criminal records

I think immigrants should decide if they want to work or go to school, and would have a parole officer check in every once in a while. They would be able to qualify for student loans to go to school, but background checks would be have to be done

Make it easier for those coming on a family visa or sponoser ship, however the immigration process is sufficient

Only if it benefits the country, reunification does not.
