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.


My next trip to Canada will be to visit Quebec City.


You'd better leave your attitude home when you visit there. The
residents of that area can be much more sensitive than Montreal citizens.
