OPINION: The vast majority of immigrants will, at some point, pass a language test and successfully answer questions on Canadian history, culture and values, culminating in the oath of citizenship

The world is experiencing the largest displacement and movement of people of any period since the Second World War.

Some questions will be raised by bad actors. These individuals will not be satisfied by reasonable answers or potential solutions on the issue of immigration or asylum in Canada. Defining integration is difficult, but some common measures include immigrant official language capability, sense of belonging to Canada, and the adoption of Canadian norms and values. By these measures, Canada is wildly successful at integrating its newcomer population.

Official language capability and citizenship requirements may not be relevant if only a few immigrants became citizens, but at approximately 85 per cent Canada has one of the highest naturalizations rates in the world. The United States sits in the mid-40 per cent range. This makes intuitive sense when considering why immigrants choose Canada. Alex Nowrasteh of the Cato Institute has pointed out that most immigrants self-select, meaning that those who are most dissatisfied with Chinese communism, the Ayatollah, or Venezuelan socialism are the most likely to leave, and the least likely to bring those values with them. They choose Canada because they identify with the norms and values that make Canada.

I have now read both articles & can’t see how the ideas presented conflict with each other.🇨🇦 has mechanisms to help newcomers integrate into our society so we should expect this to happen.We have values, customs that need to be followed above all else by those who choose 🇨🇦

China slams Canada after Trudeau criticizes detentionsChina accused Canada of not abiding by international norms Friday in response to comments from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who accused Beijing of arbitrarily detaining two Canadians. The message to China was; don’t address us like petulant children as they did when they accepted our nomination for Chinese Ambassador. Big surprise. What did you expect? A bouquet of flowers? So what ? The Canadians are addicted to cheap items, and purchased everything manufactured in China. Canada can’t manufacture these countless items that Canadians consume at an alarming rate.
