Canada is letting too many completely unskilled, uneducated in any way people. They aren't literate in their own language and that makes it almost impossible for them to learn English. The message that immigrants to Canada will be expected to assimilate Canadian culture needs to be made very clear. The problem seems to lie mostly with African and Muslim immigrants, from what I've seen and I see a lot of them where I work. If Canada wants immigration, choose people from the United Kingdom and Western Europe. Move away from Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the Philippines.

Tfw program is full of flaws. Not fair to those want of to immigrate, some tfw workers are taken advantage of and no enforcement by the perpretators and tfw families are separated. Tfw by choice not by system or law

Yes. Canada needs to close up it's borders and "fix" what we have going on now. When every eligible Canadian is gainfully employed we can start to THINK about re-opening them

Yes, screen for criminal backgrounds, make skilled workers and refugees priority and review the immigrants to ensure they are contributing to the country we were kind enough to let them live in.

The regulations are fine, but there should be a job insurance added for those with working skills as well as a recognition of education degrees from outside institutions.

Allow only refugees to immigrate and close families of those who live here. We should not be robbing developing nations of their best talent. There are more opportunities for workers in developing countries.

Yes, stricter screening for skills & ability to contribute to Canadian society, require immigrants to seek Canadian citizenship within 5 years, require minimum 15 year residency to maintain citizenship and to quality for any social, medical or financial benefits.

Yes, and strictly screen them for criminal backgrounds and skills that are in demand and also review their cases to ensure that they have become productive citizens not taking advantage of Canadian welfare programs

Canada should not turn anyone away but simply require immigrant registration upon arrival to ensure that they are accounted for and included in the tax system and have access to public services.

No, but provide better social support and integration programs for new immigrants

Increase those who add to the country by merit, education and good works. Deport those immigrants who are guilty of significant crimes.

Do not accept violent criminals .... immigrants who commit violent crimes or sell drugs or traffic in people
should be deported....with no chance of ever entering Canada again after doing some time in our Canadian jails... but non-violent and non drug related crimes should be treted like a Canadian ...too many countries are sending their criminals here ...we have the mafia of every country living in our major cities

No, but link rate to labour market needs and screen for violent and fraudulent criminals convicted by fair trial.

Canada's current immigration department and policies are badly biased and flawed requiring a major restructuring to ensure a balanced and fair approach to all applicants. Canadian citizenship should be earned by a proven contribution over a five year period with a strict adherence to obeying the laws of the land. The immigration department should be actively responsible over this period of time to ensure each applicant is provided the guidance and assistance required for each new immigrant to become a productive, self sufficient Canadian taxpayer.

A firm fair practice that will allow persons to come to the country and be productive without demanding we change our rights & freedoms for theirs. Please bring culture not violence or hatred

Depends on how many can find employment. But make sure they have very positive experience right from immigration officer upon arrival till they are independent. You don't call people home to disrespect.

Yes, while making it easier for SKILLED workers while strictly screening for criminal background and review that recent immigrants become productive and crime free prior to granting Citizenship with the ability to deport IMMEDIATELY if involved in crime or terrorism and Citizenship revoked if previously granted.

Nothing wrong with having immigrants, just don't let them bleed the system of welfare.

There needs to be more criteria and understanding of humanitarian causes for permanent residence.

Immigration policy is fine, its refugee status that needs to be amended.

no, but make the process easier for workers in high-demand industries, and facilitate the transition of people with foreign credentials into productive and relevant jobs in Canada

Yes, but make the process easier for skilled workers and strictly screen immigrants for criminal backgrounds.

Yes , Deportation should be heavily used for any rules that a immigrant violates for the first 5 years in Canada, regardless of severity. more skilled workers are needed but should be forced to fill needed positions not common positions for a time period. Also tax any funds sent out to home countries that is not directly invested. protect the egsisting canadian citizens from damage to our CPP/ OAS and flooding of our health care systems with immigrants that are brought over in need of heavy treatment. with in reason.

No, and make it easier for LGBT refugees to stay
