Sounds like the Queen's beloved Commonwealth. Two more countries joined in June this year: Gabon and Togo.
They are two former French colonies who, for some reason, decided to join the Commonwealth rather than the Francophone.
The Commonwealth now has 56 members.
Being part of the Commonwealth should mean more.
Easier to travel to those places.
Easier to go LIVE in those places.
Maybe a "Commonwealth Passport" which helps to bypass the usual BS of going to visit places.
No, thank you. We quit the EU to escape freedom of movement and we're having a hard time coping with all the Middle Easterners and Africans coming over from France on dinghies, so I don't fancy the prospect of 2.4 billion people being allowed to come and live in the United Kingdom.
So why bother to be 'good' about the Commonwealth?
As if 2.4 BILLION people would all suddenly want to move to the UK?
AS IF.
But of course you only focus on the UK and not even clue in this was about ALL Commonwealth countries.
Other bonus? It'd allow trained/educated people to relocate and work with easier access to their professions, like doctors. If a doctor trained in New Zealand, there shouldn't be the hassle to work in, say, Canada.
But the benefits would be lost on you, obviously.
Why don't you ship off people to Oz, or Virginia, like you used to back when you had testicles?Why would we want to leave our doors wide open to 2.4 billion people, or even just a million people? We're full. There's no room. We need a massive clampdown on immigration, not open the floodgates.
Show a bit of commonsense.

neither does ours.Our Prime Minister doesn't have testicles.
LMFAO
A billion, a million - Give your damned egotistical head a shake, Blackie. Not THAT many people would want to move to the UK.
Our Prime Minister doesn't have testicles.
But if I were PM I'd send all the lovely young Somalian dinghy divers to America and Canada - I'm sure they'd make a positive contribution to your societies - and order the Royal Navy to physically destroy all those resisting capture by the Border Force to be transported to the Colonies.
Oh hun, the British Empire is done and 'you' have no "Colonies" to ship anyone to.
But maybe you're right. Considering YOUR Xenophobia, going to the UK isn't something 2.4 billion, 1 billion, or ANYONE should do.
(thankfully the friends I have there are better than you Blackie and have offered me places to stay should I ever take up their offers)
If you want to open Canada's borders to 2.4 billion people then you're obviously suffering from some sort of psychiatrical problem.
It's outstanding you think that this is the actual number that would want to go to Canada, or anywhere else. The one suffering the psych problem is you, laddy.
So what's the number of Commonwealth citizens that would want to move to Canada in your open borders Commonwealth?
The answer is: You don't know.
So you want to open Canada's borders to an unknown number of people which could be 2.4 billion at the most or "just" 10 million.
It's a crackpot policy.
