You have no immigration problem and probably haven't had one in over 100 years. So a nice compliment like you received deserves a pat on the head. Lets see what happens when your population grows a lot more. Don't worry it will.
I seriously doubt that, ironsides. As I have mentioned before, we are lucky in that we are separated from Mexico, there is USA in between. Mexicans come and bother you people, they leave us alone.
Even from other countries, their first choice is USA, rather than Canada, and a good thing too. I think the only exception is the British people, they prefer Canada to USA. But the British come here legally; we are not invaded by a horde of illegal British, so that is irrelevant.
So I don’t see we in Canada having a serious illegal immigration problem. And we couldn’t handle it anyway. Can you imagine what it would do to Canada if we get 12 million illegal immigrants (when we have only 30 million people in all)? That will be equivalent to USA being invaded by 120 million illegals.

Question, why didn't you take in those from Hong Kong who wanted to immigrate to Canada when China too over? They were/are British Citizens.
Ironsides, but they were not Canadian citizens, were they? Then why should we let them in?

There is a thread starter called something like "Why are brain surgeons driving Taxi's in Canada" or the like.
It's all been addressed there.
The only Doctors driving cabs in Toronto most likely are:
I don’t know about that thread, Trex, but there are certainly plenty of problems for foreign doctors here. Since my wife is a doctor, we are tuned in to the medical profession and there are plenty of sad cases, doctors being here for years and unable to get their qualifications certified.
The problem is that they require training in Canada; no foreign medical degrees are recognized in Canada as such (except American degrees). They all have to pass a series of exams (which can be done with effort and application) and after having passed all of them, they then have to apply for training posts and undergo several years of training before their qualification can be approved by the College of Physicians and Surgeons.
That is the bottle neck; there are very few training posts for foreign doctors. Most of the foreign doctors who come here are quite good, they have no problem passing the series of exams, In fact, a few years ago they gave the same exams to Canadian medical graduates and foreign doctors on the average did much better than Canadian graduates.
So they can pass the exams all right, but then they cannot get training posts. That is where many doctors are stuck. Also the exam result stays valid for five years. If they don’t get training posts in five years, they have of start with the exams all over again.
Doctors cannot get their qualifications approved many times through no fault of their own. Considering the shortage of doctors here, I think they have recently increased the posts available for foreign doctors somewhat. However, the problem still persists.

As far as I am concerned, the sixteen Realms of the Commonwealth should have a fast-tracked system between one another.
I think they used to have that in old days. But it all disappeared several decades ago. These days you need a visa even if you want to visit a Commonwealth country. When we visited India, we had to get a tourist visa (and quite expensive it was too). We don’t need visas to go to Britain and most countries in Europe. But Commonwealth countries are a lot less friendly to each other than they used to.
Personally, I don't think we should have borders and there shouldn't be countries. But then, I also think there's only one race of humans - homosapiens.
I found it an interesting news article as I read it over morning coffee, and was curious what people's views on it were. Do I need a 'point'?
Yes, illegal immigrants are a major issue and frustration ironsides. But, American immigration issues weren't really the point of the article. But kudos on trying to make it all about your country.
It sure would be nice if we were mature enough as a species to handle the concept of one world one people, just imagine what we could achieve all working together, but alas i cant see that happening anytime soon too much pointless nationalism and idiotic governments needing to fight and make war against their fellow humans for frivolous reasons with the probable outcome a super war where we wipe ourselves out of existence, what a waste.Maybe what we need is an invasion from space aliens to unite the world as one species all living and working together in defence of our only home =Earth.
For now i can only see a future destiny of mediocrity rather than any viable contribution to the universe.Just a little backwater planet that was given all the tools to become great but just frittered the opportunity away and ended up destroying themselves.
Rant over,i feel better now:mrgreen:

That happened in a sci movie called "The Day The Earth Stood Still". And it was achieved in a later scifi series called Star Trek.
Pretty much, I think.
It's good to have these ups and downs. Then when one recovers from being grumpy and stuff one can really appreciate feeling better.
As it sits, though, I don't think it'd be all that good to lay off about Canada's immigration policies. It's dismal, IMO, in spite of some kudos from some half blind outfit in some other part of the planet. lol
The only way I can see a world government forming is if there is an acute planetwide catastrophe. Like for instance an alien (extraterrestrial) invasion, or say a totally new kind of virus that renders 90% of women in the world sterile (thereby threatening the very existence of the species).
Short of that, there is no incentive for anybody to form a world government. If there is a planet wide crises but it is slow in coming, chances are that very little will be done about it, it will be analogous to a frog slowly being boiled to death (since the temperature of the water increases slowly the frog doesn’t realize that the temperature is going up and gets cooked).
Thus global warming may well be considered a planet wide disaster. But since it is occurring slowly (and most of us will be dead by the time its full effects become manifest), chances are very little will be done about it.
Yep we are suckers for deposed tyrants and dirt poor and uneducated from everywhere. Come to Canada and bring your old and sick with you cause we have free health care and pensions for all.
Getting the planet wide government that people could actually trust for millenia would be a real tough obsticle in our search for global unity,in fact its probably our species achilles heel.
As for Taxslave's comment about free health care "news flash"=it aint free,i'm paying a hefty chunk of my paycheck every week to support our Canadian health care system, and i dont mind one bit.

Why Chinese minority government Kreskin, why not Indian minority government? India is shortly expected to overtake China as the most populous country.
