What makes you think they aren't? Canada is more welcoming to the
migrant, with a net migration rate of 5.85 migrants/1000. This is
opposed to the U.S. rate of 3.18/1000. As with most First World
nations,
Canada uses immigration to maintain a growing economy. Canada also has a
considerable illegal migrant issue. The difference is
they make it easier for the illegal to become legal than we do.


How many unskilled persons have been allowed to immigrate into Canada
within the last 25 years? Remember, I said unskilled persons have been
allowed to immigrate into Canada? Allowing wealth people from Asia and
Europe doesn't count.


Go to Toronto and see who's immigrating.

Toronto is indeed a nice place to visit and we may do so again next year on
our trip next year to Baltimore, New York City, Boston and Freeport, Maine.

The last time we were in Toronto was in the early 1990's. ;-)
