Be nice to see more productive immigrants in fields that are lacking, and less that just come here to abuse our systems.
Editorial suggests, „Canada should be more selective.“ Then goes on to not criticize the system in place and offer proper change but challenges rhetoric from politicians.
Literal rage bate. Disgusting. Be better.
Go back to only allowing immigrants to come here if we need something from them. We need more doctors and nurses, not more Tim Hortons employees.

The problem is even for high skill roles this country seems to almost exclusively focus on hiring from developing countries, I can only assume because they will accept lower compensation because their real goal is a path to citizenship (or a stepping stone to the US).
Back when my family came in the 1940s and they didn’t get a single cent or help from the government, non stop hard labour building the country up. Learned English and French, and integrated into Canadian culture.
We have shortages in the agriculture industry, it’s hard work and lots of respect for the new immigrant workers that come here for that. We should only be accepting workers in agriculture healthcare and building.
Edit for clarity: We don’t need the government approving temporary worker visas for minimum wage youth jobs and suppressing wages when our youth unemployment rate is at an all time high.
Too much fraud in our system and our country is not safe anymore.
You mean like we used before we just accepted anyone with a pulse.
Lots of immigrants here are extremely overqualified and yet are stuck driving for Uber. Had an Uber driver who is a doctor, another a civil engineer, and personally know a surgeon who cannot find work in Canada.
They came here specifically because they were under the impression that their qualifications would mean something, but instead, they get stuck in the same cycle that a lot of young people are stuck in. No opportunity to get a foot in the door because employers always have the option of hiring someone with experience and who is already Canadian who can do the job.
It’s weird, a lot of people will look at someone working at Tim Hortons and bemoan the fact that they’re taking jobs from young Canadians. And while it is true that we have an epidemic of fake job postings so they can start using temporary foreign workers to replace actual Canadian workers, a lot of these people are insanely overqualified immigrants with valuable degrees. They are working a job they don’t want to because they can’t even get considered for the job they had back home.
So, you have this crazy double standard where people simultaneously hate immigrants for not stealing jobs from young workers, but you also won’t consider them for actually important positions because that might require the employer to take literally any amount of risk.
All Trudeau has to do was restore the previous immigration policy which was held in high regard
Politically it would have been easy too since Harper screwed it up on the first place
Instead he made it even worse
He means „more white people“.
I’m in the minority, but I personally want more immigrants.
We need better vetting of who we let in, zero tolerance for immigrants who commit criminal acts; younger, poorer immigrants who are more likely to stay in Canada & start a family/life here; who can speak one of our official languages fluently, who have work experience, higher education or capacity for higher education. I’d like more proportional representation from various countries across the world regarding who we let in, and a better ratio of men to women. If you know how to run a business, if you can build a house from scratch, if you can enrich our country somehow – I want those people.
We need stronger rules regarding companies who might hire TFW – rules regarding wages that must be paid & efforts to recruit Canadians before immigrants. How about any company that hires a TFW must pay at least double minimum wage, in addition to their housing/board? Guaranteed 4 weeks vacation/year, maximum 40hrs/week .Then we’ll figure who *actually* needs TFW’s.
Singapore is a country that built itself on immigrants – but it doesn’t take lightly to immigrants abusing their system, nor domestic companies/people abusing their immigrants. We should take an example.
„Selective“ just means racist.
We need to let in everyone that wants to come here. Nothing bad has ever happened by letting in unlimited unvetted people.
