They're superior on this subject. They understand better than me what we need, and I place my trust in their collective knowledge over my ignorant ass. Quote
DogOnPorch Posted November 13, 2016 Report Posted November 13, 2016 The same folks who do your polls? Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
Smallc Posted November 13, 2016 Report Posted November 13, 2016 Just now, DogOnPorch said: The same folks who do your polls? No, those are different experts. Those experts, btw, predicted the outcome of the Canadian election in 2015 to a tee, and predicted the outcome of the US election to within 2% (closer than in 2012 when they correctly predicted the winner). You may choose to live in ignorance. I prefer to do otherwise. Quote

According to Immigration Canada the least economically successful immigrants come from China and the Middle east. So of course, the Liberals are prioritizing immigration from China and the Middle East... Because while they're not very economically successful they tend to vote Liberal.

Smallc Posted November 13, 2016 Report Posted November 13, 2016 Again, do you have proof that they're prioritizing those regions? Quote

Forty thousand Syrian refugees this year and another 50,000 next year sure sounds like prioritizing. And all those new visa processing centres in China sounds like prioritizing, too. They didn't open seven new centres in India.

I shouldn't have to say this again either, but all Chinese, no matter the purpose of their visit, need visas to come here. The government has set up processing centres in all Chinese cities that have international flights to Canada (there are many). That seems like a smart thing to do, especially when you consider the massive growth in tourism, trade, and education exchanges. Quote

You shouldn't have said it in the first place, because the statement is inane. Of course they're immigrants. Refugees currently make up about 12% of those who become landed immigrants each year. Quote I shouldn't have to say this again either, but all Chinese, no matter the purpose of their visit, need visas to come here. Indians too. But the government isn't setting up seven more visa processing centres for them. Even though they are among the most economically successful immigrants.

Smallc Posted November 13, 2016 Report Posted November 13, 2016 How many cities in India have direct service to Canada? One (soon to be two). That's the difference. And no - refugees are not immigrants. You don't bring them in for any purpose but humanitarianism. Immigrants have a much different goal. Quote

Like I said, it's so nice to be nice, and if you don't mention it's costing billions and billions of dollars people might not notice so much. Whoops, sorry, but your operation was pushed back another four months as a new batch of Syrian seniors needs surgery. Too baaaad.

Smallc Posted November 13, 2016 Report Posted November 13, 2016 The numbers are there for you to see actually - the government publishes all of it. I've told you the education level (mostly secondary school) for the refugees. For being the lowest of the low though, as you said, it's quite surprising that 1/6 of them have post secondary education. Quote
