Immigration is a federal responsibility, not provincial and Canada should remain a welcoming country to all immigrants imo, but, if you're here on a work or student visa, newcomers should have to prove employment, training, full-time enrollment, and residency on a quarterly basis. It would drastically limit people becoming ghosts in the system. Refugees and asylum seekers should be allowed 1 appeal only and removed immediately if their claim has been denied. A 90-day grace period should be enacted to get their paperwork and affairs in order. If you're here for a better life, steps should be taken to ensure you're actively trying to accomplish that goal until citizenship is granted. Jmho.
Detailed analysis and critique of immigration policy mechanisms, proposing specific regulatory reforms for work visas, student visas, and refugee processing while maintaining a welcoming stance.

As a Canadian I'm embarrassed to see anyone supporting this PM now after all the bullshit he's put us through in the last 8 years. It's sad to see you've all been vaccinated into idiocracy!
