Current Canadian immigration levels fine: Canadians

A new survey conducted by the Institute For Research on Public Policy has found that more than half of Canadians are fine with current Canadian immigration levels based on a small sampling of the population. According to this CTV article, 58 per cent of those who responded said current Canadian immigration levels, even though they are at record high levels, are fine.

Immigration levels are at more than twice the levels they were around the 1980s, when 100,000 people came to Canada annually. Now, approximately 200,000 immigrants come to Canada each year, with 280,000 admitted.

While support for higher immigration varies by region, the report said that those who support immigration in Canada find that Canada’s multiculturalism creates economic benefits and a source of pride for Canada.

The Prairies had the highest level of support for current immigration levels, with 62.8 per cent. In addition, immigration is definitely heading out west, which we wrote about here.

This poll comes after the Canadian Government called on Canadians to voice their opinions on Canada’s immigration levels in an online questionnaire in order to gather ideas for new government policies on immigration levels.

Over 2,000 people were polled in the survey.

Visa place helped me with my daughter’s sponsorship 3 years ago. Last week I contacted them for some clarification on a different matter. It was about an issue which technically was a problem of CIC’s software glitch and had nothing to do with Visa Place.
Yet Reena Sandu was assigned for my case. she helped me with enthusiasm and showed no hesitation despite me being an ex-client from 3 years ago.
I was very happy that even after 3 years of finishing business, Visa Place were respectful of their clients. Special thanks again to Reena for her enthusiasm and support.
