Took my parents 6-7 years to get to Canada, legally, approximately 35 years ago. How do these people come as students, then take jobs from citizens, and then sponsor their family members who can't even contribute to our society. Literally putting a burden on all the systems. The government not patching this loophole has fked us up. You come to study, then do that and go back.
Combines personal immigration experience with criticism of government policy loopholes allowing students to work and sponsor family members.

Immigration policy is a federal responsibility, ensuring fairness. Why is it so confusing to so many to understand that Alberta is a province, not a country? A province that undermines consistent national standards weakens the sense of unity that holds a country together. When one province seeks to separate itself from the shared framework, divisions will arise, and policies will be driven by local political pressures rather than the broader national interest.
Analyzes federal vs. provincial jurisdiction in immigration policy and argues provincial deviation undermines national unity and standards.
