More immigration is a hard NO. We have a housing problem, our health care is broken, and our social services are stretched too thin already. Immigration is only ok if the immigration is an asset to our nation, not a drain or added burden. Reality. Fix our own problems first.

I will donate to the National Post if it will help wean you off kickbacks from the Real Estate industry.

No thanks. Immigrations numbers are already too high. Look at the authors who wrote this - lobbyists for a group that wants to triple Canada’s population and a technology HR immigration consultant.

Expect civil unrest

We Syrian refugees in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, we can contribute to Canadian society. We need your support to expand the circle of resettlement for your country!!

Pause immigration until housing catches up. Not to mention - wages. This push for immigration from corporations is how they keep wages depressed.

No, they can't, they are parasites and are part of a great wealth transfer

It’s too much written in this article, but you do not have any plans to settle immigrants. You have closed all doors for the skilled workers and intl. students who worked in covid, still contributing to economy and helping in labour shortage. Come with plan to help skilled people

Canada needs good governance - when can we get that?

The government should close all immigration so Canada can deal with the people and problems we already have!!

Thank you, Canada. A wonderful place to live. ❤️🇨🇦🙏🏼

Yes, but IRCC won´t process the applications that already have ITAs 🙄 I have been waiting for so long on FSW Program! there are some offices that are really slow, such as Vancouver and Mexico

Immigrants are more than welcome to join Canada’s matriarchal dominance hierarchy.

The universal worker comrades of internationalism.

We need Less or zero immigration

There can be no edge with a government stifles ingenuity, liberty and the motivation to earn a living.

Stop immigration! Our kids can’t afford a basic home! Shame on the liberals!

Trudeau is already doing this, but thank you.

NP reads like TorStar some days. Today is one of those. Our immigration system needs a massive overhaul. We should reduce the financial and family reunification numbers (people who come here with money seldom create jobs but they DO create housing bubbles) and emphasize skills.

Canada need affordable housing more.

As long as certifications and skills are not recognized , high qualified immigrants will be doing petty jobs for minimum wage.

Canada would do well to stop importing criminal thugs and people that are a drain on the system. These people multiply like cockroaches and are a blight on society.

Fuck no. End all immigration until our housing market is no longer a pipe dream for the average Canadian.

Qualified immigrants..especially in the trades.

What drivel! We are bringing in uneducated, sick and elderly that are a burden on the country! This nonsense needs to stop!

In an ideal situation. The reality is thousands homeless sitting in shelters, crowding together in high rent units breaking occupancy codes and receiving social assistance. They cost us billions that could go to other necessary programs and supports for Canadian citizens.

The only thing immigrants can bring to Canada at this moment in time is burden. Canada is currently enduring a government created HousingCrisis due to overpopulation via Immigration . Canada is full. Try again in about ten years when we've caught up.

Skilled immigrants yes Gonna start getting for people we need? Not all immigrants are useful, just look at my brother 😂

Legal emigration

Canada has never trained the people all ready here, no just bring in more Immigrants.

There is a housing shortage now because of increased immigration and refugees claims. How about we get a handle on what we have now before making it worse.

Yeah... I am an immigrant.. but think.. more and more immigrants lead to more people looking for work, thus stagnant wages, and more people looking for a place to live, thus higher home prices. It's desigend to be like this

Oh FFS

I cant understand why the processing of Immigrant applications is taking so long. There is apparently some shortage of staff. Is it difficult to hire people and get the work moving faster a problem?

As long it isn’t the Dindus.

contributors yes not dependents

Is unaffordable housing an edge?

What good comes from taking the best and brightest from countries that need it the most? At a time when Canada has unaffordable housing and lacks the necessary infrastructure. Who wins? Tell me. Just one reason.

Seriously this is what you’re reporting on today?

how many canadians would prefer a family doctor and a place to live to an 'edge' cdnpoli

Too many immigrants too fast from non-compatible cultures. The sense of being a Canadian and the heritage of tradition and history has melted away in the past 20 years. What is the vision for Canada now? I don't know.

Like it has in Sweden

How about training Canadians?

More liberal voters more like. Why don't they stay where they are and improve their own countries?

Opinion: we need to artificially depress wages. Solution is import scabs and scream racism when folks get upset.

Yes, skilled immigrant shows up, ends up working at slave wages because 'no Canadian experience'. Takes a dumbass to immigrate to Canada as opposed to the US if one is qualified for either.

You can’t have a good imagination policy when you don’t have the infrastructure to support it. Does no one in the media do their jobs anymore or is MSM the new norm tabloid rag?

Skilled immigrants, yes. Refugees, no.

Canada needs to increase defence spending by $75.3B to meet NATO requirements: PBOThat target remains out of reach for Canada, despite marked increases in defence spending since 2014, says Canada\u0027s Parliamentary Budget Officer Trump was correct. Too many foreign nations have been dependant upon America for their national security. It is time to pay up. NATO Canada needs to regurgitate the current liberal gov't or this entire country goes down the shitter. Either way we are left sick, broken and with a very bad taste in our mouths. Never happen on Justin Trudeau watch!
