Our immigration firm recently brought in 5 foreign workers to work in Canada. They will more than likely become permanent residents in a year or two. They comprise of a computer system analyst from India, a business analyst from Germany, an architect and a civil engineer from Iran and a carpenter from Ireland. You have the wrong understanding of who immigrants are. I wish you'd challenge yourself to find out more. You are not getting my drift at all. Nothing new it seems with you here. The more new immigrants Canada brings into the country the more services it will have to provide. What don't you get here yet? There is one school in Canada with 200 kids in it. Then Canada brings in another 200 new immigrant kids. Now Canada needs to either expand or build another school. More services and infrastructure needed. You and so many others are so hung up on this leftist liberal pro multicultural and pro special interest groups bull shit that Canada needs more new immigrants is a silly ass farce. But I guess that leftist liberal multiculturalists like yourself will never get it. Just keep bringing them on in. Most of the new immigrants will find some work and they will pay some taxes but they will still add more problems for Canada to have to deal with. Many new immigrants always end up on welfare. A great bonus for host Canadians and Canada, eh? 2

All of these are stepping stones towards permanent residency. It is extremely difficult for someone who cannot speak English to immigrate to Canada. A language test must be done for all economic programs, which bring in majority of immigrants to Canada. Or just fly to New York, take a taxi to the border, and tell the guys in the doorman outfits "Yeah, I'm a refugee. Get my bags, will ya.

They take their assumptions which are fanned by ignorance and think we have "open borders" or that we have "mass immigration" or that "immigrants go on welfare and are a big burden on our economy." Used to live across the road from the Heatherington public housing project. it was full of immigrants/refugees. Then the government started paying Minto to keep them in our buildings. The place went to hell fast, lots of shootings, stabbings, arsons, vandalism to cars and to interior furnishings and hallways. Glad I got the hell out of there. All the street gangs in Canada (except for the natives) are the product of our immigration and refugee system. 3 "A liberal is someone who claims to be open to all points of view — and then is surprised and offended to find there are other points of view.” William F Buckley

The 'screening' consists of 1) check to see if the applicant has a criminal record 2) check to see if the applicant is on a list of known terrorists. That's basically it. Most immigrants are never interviewed by anyone before arrival in Canada.

Argus Posted March 30, 2019 Report Posted March 30, 2019 5 hours ago, cannuck said: The "security assessment" is a joke. It is actually called a "security clearance" and is obtained from authorities in the country of current citizenship. This is why immigrants use very expensive "immigration consultants" who instruct them what to do, what to say, what to write (usually none of it actually true) and take care of bribing local officials or simply forge the docs on the spot. There is literally NO control over what is coming into the country, not even a single face-to-face interview. One of the reasons immigration from culturally similar countries is so preferred (by logical people) is that there is a high likelihood of rule-of-law thus legitimate documentation. From many third world countries that is 100% impossible. One of the reasons it's easy to tell that immigration is seen by most on the left as nothing but a large virtue signalling project is their determination to avoid subjecting potential immigrants to any real screening or interviews, as well as their resistance to targeting our immigration recruitment at countries where our own records show the most successful immigrants come from. That is primary Europe and the United States, India and the Philippines. Europe and the US provides the additional benefit of having few cultural issues and virtually no security issues. But if you're going to bring in a million people very three years you have to widen the net as far as possible. It's worth noting our immigration level was at 84,000 and was tripled by Brian Mulroney specifically to get votes. He was told by the Economic Council of Canada this would do little to help the economy, and might even hurt depending on the mix of immigrants. But his immigration minister convinced cabinet most of the new immigrants would vote for them out of gratitude, especially those from cultures and countries without a tradition of democracy, who didn't quite grasp the different between party and government. This is also why the politicians have been determined to lower the number of years required for residency in Canada before getting citizenship. They want the immigrants voting (for them) as quickly as possible before they lose their sense of gratitude to the party which brought them in.

As an animal produces their young with perfect limbs, do you see anything defective? In short, every child is born in a state of fiṭrah, a state of innate goodness while the social environment may cause the individual to drift away from this state, which is a state of natural conformity between human nature and Islam (Submission to God). There has been several non-muslim experts in various fields whose conformed childrens innate belief in God, even popular atheist have admitted that. Now why so many different religions? People form their beliefs on the amount of data that they have at hand due to various limitations such as environments. This why the Prophet (pbuh) made clear that the normative intuition may be used by a child’s parents to foster incorrect beliefs and that Allah had to send Prophets to remind humanity of the truth. Thus, according to Islam, the amount of available data is a necessary condition towards belief formation.

In fairness to you all your descriptions about Immigration law are 100% accurate. There is a loophole allowing illegal migrants from the US to claim refugee status right now. Most will be rejected as refugees on the grounds they came from a safe third country that they should have made their refugee claim in. Then at that point they are supposed to be deported. People can go on to the Immigration site to see the rate of deportations and to which countries. I believe it is averaging right now 35 people a day. The problem is many disappear and can not be deported. Other than that loophole which is probably responsible for anywhere from 20-40 thousand migrants coming in taking advantage of that huge loophole and people claiming refugee status who are not, which are both yes serious issues, can we be fair. The vast majority of immigrant prospects coming to Canada are going through many rules and regulations and judged on whether they have skills and language ability. It is not easy as some think. There is also a bad tendency to lump legitimate immigrant prospects who are doing the right thing and come to Canada following all the rules and then working with these others taking advantage of loopholes. I think immigration bashing is irrational and does not lend itself to proper discussion as to the true defficiencies in the immigration process. Illegitimate entrants give legitimate immigrants a bad name and as much as I detest what Marcus stands for when he makes legitimate points I have to defend them and show deference to them. Fair is fair. I also think Taxme has zero credibility on this issue. He has made it clear he is a white supremacist or what many of us call a neo-Nazi. Ironically many immigrants who come to this country who are as pink as Taxme came to get away from people like him and want nothing to do with what he stands for. This country with the exception of aboriginals is immigrants so I think unless you are aboriginal posing as someone who does not want immigrants is a joke. I totally disagree with Trudeau's policies on Immigration law. He has undermined the system by allowing a ridiculous loophole. I detest how he used Syrian refugees as props for a photo op and went running to do a photoop crying at a fire in Halifax with Syrian refugees. He is in many ways as dispicable as any out and out racist. He uses immigrants to get votes. He panders. 1
