I don’t think that is much of an increase, B00mer. Sure in percentage terms it sounds a lot. But increase from 8000 to 12000 is insignificant when compared to more than 300,000 immigrants we take each year.

I don’t think too much can be read into it, these numbers go up and down al the time. The increase here is slight, it increased from 2.7% to 4.2%, assuming annual immigrant intake of 300,000.

I think it is a non issue.

I think the media wants to report how "tough" the fed govt is when it is not. With immigration numbers so high, 4000 is small potatoes compared to 300,000 plus. The plus are all the foreign "students" in Canada who sign up for courses, quit, and then look for jobs. A fairly cheap way to get into Canada. Which keeps the unemployment rate high. Good for biz.

Let's use logic on this one instead of emotion and xenophobia.

Put them to work like they came here to do. If someone has the balls to ditch everything and risk their life to get here that person will work jhis ass off to stay here.

I don't know about you but I'd rather have someone like that here than a criminal that bought their way in.

Why don't we get rid of our immigration system completely then? Why would anyone legally immigrate to Canada if they know they can be accepted here under a bogus refugee claim?

Claimants like this make a mockery of our system.

How much does it cost to legally immigrate? Does someone working on an IMF platation or sweat shop make enough to immigrate?

This country was founded by refugees, poor and the scum that wasn't wanted in Europe and now else where.

Why should we change now?

These "refugees" apparently paid $45,000 each to get here. So, yeah they have enough money to immigrate here legally.

Petros, quit being obtuse. You bloody well know that there is legal channels to immigrate here. Paying human traffickers to get here is not the way it's done. Go through the proper channels like everyone else, or do you approve of a two tier system where cheaters go to the front of the line?

Are you 100% sure that is enough? You'd best look into it before making guesses.

It's more then enough to get the wheels in motion and if they have family willing to sponsor them their chances are even better but that is besides the point. The fact is, if they cannot play by our rules they should be sent back to their country of origin. What sort of message does it send to legitimate immigrants when they see these fake refugees flaunt our rules in order to bypass the process?

Was it this way? The way the criminals get in without any background check?

Investors, entrepreneurs and self‑employed persons

The Business Immigration Program seeks to attract experienced business people to Canada who will support the development of a strong and prosperous Canadian economy.
Business immigrants are expected to make a C$400,000 investment or to own and manage businesses in Canada.
Canada has three classes of business immigrants:
  • investors
  • entrepreneurs and
  • self-employed persons.
Each application can be made for only one class and cannot be changed once the application is submitted. The criteria you must meet to qualify are different for each class.
Find out if you can immigrate as one of the following:

I could care less what category they may or may not qualify under. They came here illegally, deportation is going to be the end result.

A one way ticket is about $2000.00 I gander. Finding them housing, teaching them english and finding them employment would greatly exceed that.
How do you know they don't speak english? They can have jobs in minutes if they want. Same goes for any other bum that already lives here.

Then you don't know whether they are truly illegal or not then do you? Are you just going on hearsay?

I am going on the Immigration Ministers word which you will see below.

Canada to take hard line with would-be migrants - The Globe and Mail

Canada's Immigration Minister has signalled that he intends to play hardball with 76 men believed to be from Sri Lanka who arrived on a rusty boat off Canada's West Coast, as the government battles the perception of Canada as a soft touch for asylum seekers.
While Tamil Canadians have urged Canadian officials to show compassion, Immigration Minister Jason Kenney told The Globe and Mail yesterday that that the migrants' illegal arrival highlights the growing problem of human smuggling.
The Conservative government has said it believes many refugee claims are bogus and has promised tougher legislation.
