Canada wants 1 million more immigrants over next 3 years In 2017, Canada welcomed almost 300,000 permanent residents https://abcnews.go.com/beta-story-c...da-million-immigrants-years/story?id=60306973 Canada, a nation of not quite 37 million people, wants to add more than 1 million immigrants through 2021. "Thanks in great part to the newcomers we have welcomed throughout our history, Canada has developed into the strong and vibrant country we all enjoy," Ahmed Hussen, minister of immigration, refugees and citizenship, wrote in an annual report to Parliament. "Immigrants and their descendants have made immeasurable contributions to Canada, and our future success depends on continuing to ensure they are welcomed and well-integrated." Hussen, now in his early 40s, fled to Canada from war-torn Somalia when he was 16. A year ago, Donald Trump, the president of the United States of America, said he didn't want the U.S. accepting immigrants from Haiti or countries in Africa or similar "s---hole countries." Somalia is in Africa. "My experience is not unique," Hussen told The New York Times in 2017. "Canada receives a lot of refugees every year." For Canada to add 1 million immigrants over the next three years, the nation would need to welcome approximately 350,000 -- roughly 1 percent of its current population -- in each of 2019, 2020 and 2021. "Canada is a world leader in managed migration with an immigration program based on non-discriminatory principles, where foreign nationals are assessed without regard to race, nationality, ethnic origin, colour, religion or gender," Hussen wrote in his report. About 1 in 5 current Canadians are immigrants, according to the report, with more than 6 million arriving since 1990. About 13.7 percent of the U.S. population, roughly 1 in 7, in 2017 was foreign born, according to U.S. Census estimates. In 2016, that figure was 13.5 percent. ------------------------------------ I note that most of the immigrants to India will be from India and China if the current trends continue. Canada evaluates immigrants for needed skills to fill available jobs. The highest in demand skill is for IT.
As a further follow-up -- I will note that the Canadian government only accepted 25,000 government sponsored refugees in 2016 at its peak. In 2017 the Canadian Government-Assisted Refugees (GARs) only took in 7500 refugees. The annual average of GAR arrivals is 7,600 from 2000 to 2015. Canada took in 16,000 Privately Sponsored Refugees (PSRs) in 2017 in addition to the GAR refugees. https://ccrweb.ca/en/2017-immigration-levels-comments
Elon needs to build a hyper loop between the southern and northern borders that delivers immigrants right into Canada and returns cars empty for reloading. Problem solved.
I will also note that Canada aggressively rejects people they are believe are illegal immigrants or workers at their borders and airports. Canada also vigorously rounds up illegal immigrants and deports them. Very different than the U.S.
With every citizenship you get a snow shovel. Congratulations, you’re now a citizen of Canada! Here’s your shovel to remove the two feet of snow on your roof you’ll get 3x a week.
I dont think they have made an offer to you. You have to meet their requirements in an area where they have needs. Although I dont know. Trudeau said that he would take anyone who the United States rejects, so that is point in your favor.
As I said, you can make a good case that your ilk is/are rejected in the U.S. and are considered to be trash by patriotic Americans. But, not to worry. Freddy Foreskin can probably rent out a spare room to you at his house in Moosedump Village. Wouldn't that be cozy? That dial-up internet might put a dent in your trading, but you have to make sacrifices to be with the one you love sometimes, eh?
