As two-thirds of Canadians have indicated that there are “too many” immigrants in the country, a new national survey highlights another aspect of the immigration issue: concerns about newcomers’ integration in Canada.
Conducted by Leger for the Association for Canadian Studies (ACS), the poll found that one-fourth of Canadians believe immigrants should give up their customs and traditions, a sentiment shared by one-third of Canadians over the age of 55. In Quebec, one-in-three respondents feel that immigrants should give up their cultural practices.
