The fact that the phrase “immigrants have parents” even needs to be said reveals something about the framing of Canadian immigration policy: the tendency to see immigrants as production units, bits of human capital to slot into the Canadian economy and to fill Canadian skill shortages or to provide top talent.
Following PM Justin Trudeau’s re-election, Canada doubled the number of Afghan refugees it plans to take in from 20,000 to 40,000, more than fulfilling Trudeau’s campaign promise.
“Immigrants who arrived within the past five years commended Canada’s “fair treatment” of all groups by a wide margin, 78%.”
So says Blacklock’s Reporter-– no doubt an organization our Liberal government and media could live without. Talk about defying a publicly accepted social standard.
Drilling down on these numbers reveals that 208,000 will qualify for Canada’s family reunification category. Under Canadian immigration policy, “family” refers to the following:
Spouses, same sex partners, common law partners, conjugal partners, children. parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, grand-daughters, grand-sons.
A further 121,500 will enter Canada as refugees. The Resettlement Assistance Program provides these services during the first four to six weeks after clients get to Canada.
So proud of you, Canada. An example to the world.

“Canada aims to welcome 103,500 immigrants through the family class this year and another 66,000 for refugee purposes in 2021. Achieving the family class target is made easier by the fact that immediate family are exempt by the travel restrictions.”
Within contemporary Canada, media selectivity plays an essential role in shaping thought and perception. This has not only the potential to “make or break” the success of individual politicians, but also political parties as a whole.
Worries about America’s slowing population growth are misplaced, because simply having more people in the country is no guarantee of higher incomes for every individual, according to the Center for Immigration Studies Director of Research Steven Camarota.
“It’s clear that the simplistic argument that more population growth necessarily leads to more per capita economic growth, which is the kind of growth that matters, is not obvious, and in fact, the evidence seems to be the other way around,” Camarota told The Epoch Times during a June 1 interview.
Always follow the money.
Mass immigration benefits our corporate class as they get to depress wages and gain by the creation of artificial shortages like housing.
Our political class gains by having an expanded pool of suckers to pay for their grossly bloated entitlements.
Under the guise of diversity and multiculturalism they deliberately balkanize and destabilize society.
The scam depends on you believing them when they call you a racist for standing up for your rights and opposing a mass immigration policy that undermines your economic and social security.

Canada’s recent move to offer permanent residency to more foreigners living and working in the country is a short-term solution to the economic problems spurred by a pandemic-related immigration slowdown, analysts say, while critics argue the strategy excludes too many vulnerable people.
Canada will fail to hit immigration targets for a second straight year as border restrictions remain in place, according to one of the nation’s top banks.
The country will probably welcome closer to 275,000 new permanent residents this year, versus a target of 401,000, Royal Bank of Canada economist Andrew Agopsowicz said in a report Tuesday. Last year, Canadian immigration dropped by almost half to 184,370, its lowest levels in more than two decades.
Mexican police officers were arrested last week and charged in the killing of more than a dozen Guatemalan migrants on the way to the United States.
Their bodies were shot and burned near the U.S. border in a violence-riddled corridor frequently used by smugglers.
Such tragedies are not uncommon. Mexican police particularly at the state and local level have often been accused of exploiting and killing migrants. Criminal organizations routinely prey on vulnerable people who are often smuggled through violent and cartel-controlled areas.
The left often paints amnesty as a humanitarian act, but clearly, the facts paint a darker reality. Promises of mass legalization and weakened enforcement lead to these tragedies.
But pushing amnesty and permitting catch-and-release in the middle of a pandemic will lead to far greater human misery with the spread of COVID-19.
When Canada unveiled new details of its open work permit scheme for Hongkongers this month, it framed the action as part of a defence of democratic values, against Beijing’s “controversial national security law”.
Canada stood “shoulder to shoulder with the people of Hong Kong”, and the new scheme showed Ottawa’s “solidarity with other like-minded allies”, said Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino.
But the programme, first announced in November, also represents one of the opening salvoes in a contest among Western countries to attract talented young people from Hong Kong, amid the city’s political upheaval.
Immigration experts on both sides of the Pacific said they were greatly surprised by the Canadian scheme’s scope, calling it “huge” and “remarkable”.
Justin Trudeau has made the Chinese Communist Party the official hall monitors of China-Canada travel.
Anyone applying to get a Canadian visa must first go through the CCP. And not just any government official — the Chinese state police are running the Canadian visa centre in Beijing.
Hongkongers who recently graduated from Canadian educational institutions will soon have a new pathway to permanent residency as Ottawa launches a three-year open work permit for them, citing “deep concerns” about the national security law.
I believe that this was said before:
Immigrants are more likely to apply for citizenship to vote rather than to seek a Canadian passport, says in-house research by the Department of Citizenship. Foreigners said they prized the country’s freedom of speech: ‘It was for my children.’
People who care about their children recognise the reasons why they left their former countries and do not repeat the mistakes that made them unlivable in the first place.
No, this is about keeping certain persons or parties in power, hence the ethnic and sectarian divide and conquer.
Parachute a non (insert ethnic identity here) into (insert previously mentioned ethnic identity here) and run solely on the issues.
Let’s see who votes for the issues then.
