Kanada mag Einwanderung nicht mehr. Das ist ein Problem

Increase low skill immigration from a single country that doesn’t adapt to Canadian customs by an insane amount, don’t properly increase housing, school or medical infrastructure, blame Canadians for getting upset about it.

Turn the taps completely off from specific countries and I guarantee the outrage dies down.

It’s insane that Canadian university graduates are leaving the country to find jobs and make a living wage and we still have places like globe and mail and CBC putting out these immigration sob story articles trying to pretend like flooding the country with new comers didn’t affect the housing or job markets

It’s not immigration, it’s the loophole back door that “students” and “refugees” are using to bypass legal immigration.

It’s also the fact we bring in TFWs to replace jobs that young Canadians would typically gain experience and some money for their education. Furthermore, these people are paying companies money to sponsor them through TFW programs making these positions ripe for fraud. Then these TFWs are using every excuse in the books to stay in Canada illegally afterwards, which honestly I don’t blame them for.

The fault lays with the way the TFW program is structured, the incentives laid out for companies, and the utter disregard the government has for its citizens in favour of business interests.

People blame immigration because housing, healthcare and the economy sucks (especially for younger people.) Newcomers exacerbate these problems and end up taking a much larger share of the blame than they should. The world is changing and unless you are rich, it’s getting worse.

Canada will find out in the next 3-5 years that immigrants are not the real problem and maybe we’ll wake up and deal with the real issues.

Let’s remove emotion from the argument for a second.

Canada’s population has almost doubled in the last 55 years which is a pretty decent growth rate.

The world’s population, however has more than doubled.

That’s just a result of math. That is, if you start with a large population (like China and India), mathematically, with such a large base, your growth is going to be higher. There’s just more of you to multiply and then continue multiplying.

However, in any biological system, growth is slowed down or hampered by dwindling resources. So people in high population countries NEED to move. The more dense the population in any area, the more will die out. There won’t be enough to go around and if an event happens like a typhoon or an earthquake in those areas you kill a lot of the population.

But as a species we don’t think and plan globally. We think within our borders and red lines. We react, we aren’t proactive.

If you care anything about our future, the world, the earth needs some people to move around and shift from crowded places to less crowded places. And we have a lot of space here. What the heck are we doing as a country to incentivize growth in the right places for the right things? The planning is horrible, there’s no strategy just reaction.

The previous Liberal government fundamentally changed the basis of what immigration into this country was supposed to be.  People aren’t anti-migration, they’re anti post-2015 style migration. 

A steady, but well-controlled flow of people coming here with a plan and the pre-existing skills to contribute, who are grateful for and committed to the opportunity to become Canadian.  As a skilled immigrant, that’s the system I came here under, and the one I’d vote to go back to.
