But our governments have a habit of lying to us about the costs of immigration and refugees. They'll give you some costs, but not others. For example, I doubt the cost of their ongoing health care will be figured into the above, since the provinces will have to eat that. Even a little effort at basic arithmetic, never mind math, will show you how nonsensical the Canadian figure is. 50,000 people x 15,000 per year (being HUGELY conservative) will come out to $4.5 billion over 6 years.
And who says the costs stop after six years?

The cost is quite easy to check. All government expenditures are public record. Also, every study of immigration in Canada shows that immigrants give a boost to the economy far beyond the cost of settling them in.
