Increasing number of Canadians hold negative view on immigration, poll finds

With Canadians continuing to face a housing crisis and high living costs, a new survey has found a growing number of residents view immigration as having a negative affect on the country.

The Research Co. poll, which was released Wednesday, found 44 per cent of respondents believe immigration is having a mostly negative affect on Canada, up six per cent from last year.

“This is not something we saw a year ago or two years ago,” said Mario Canseco, Research Co. president. “It’s been slowly bubbling.”
