As you all probably know Canada has a reputation for allowing anyone who whines enough to immigrate and then offers these immigrants social services and subsidies. The government has recently announced that they will drop "Family Unification Visas" from 16 000 to 11 000.
This in my opinion is not enough. I am fed up with the Canadian immigration system. Many new immigrants exploit every aspect of it including the very lax "Family Unification" system where after someone gets into canada they can basically bring every member of their family over without them being properly evaluated through the point system. It is a huge burden for Canadian tax payers as these people bring over their elderly parents and grandparents who will never contribute to the Canadian economy and will just suck resources like healthcare and social support.
In my opinion the only immigrants that should get into the country are those who have the means and ability to contribute, and family members should be held to this standard. We brought in 250 000 people last year all costing the government money. I would like to see that number drop and make it so immigration makes money, so that students like me have a fighting chance to enter the workforce and come out of school without debt.
What do you think about this situation?
