More older Canadians say they want fewer legal immigrants admitted to the country than their younger counterparts do, according to a recent survey.
The poll, conducted by Research Co. with 1,000 adults nationwide in late July, found that views on immigration in Canada “fluctuate widely by age.”
“By a 7-to-1 margin, Canadians aged 55 and over prefer a decrease in legal immigration levels over an increase,” said Mario Canseco, president of Research Co., in a statement on Aug. 14.
