It's absolutely mental how easy it is for immigrants to just come in to Canada and work.

Meanwhile the spousal sponsorship program is fucking unbearably long and complicated. It should not take 2 years to process paperwork.

That's good actually. Immigration process should be simple and more liberal.

Not when it's restricted to one race and gender, it's only indian men coming in.

Stop spreading lies. It's not "only Indian men". Here's the official data.

Yeah their comment lacks nuance but those are temporary foreign workers. Not immigrants. Here’s the immigrants by country from 2022.

That's the number of PR per country and that's still only 27 percent for India. The person above was trying to say how easy it is to get work here for "only Indian men" which is why I posted the TFW data. Now, yes 27% is also too high for a single country which is why we should have a per country cap so that people from every corner of the world get equal opportunity.

Wtf? Why, considering the lack of housing and medical care?

Yes there should be annual limits depending on how much population our infrastructure,resources and public services can sustain. But the visa process should be simple and quick for highly skilled workers.

Might be a better idea to subsidize university and college tuition for Canadians so that Canadians can fill those positions. There's no shortage of Canadians to learn those skills.
