Immigration is popular with the public, as long as it appears like it's happening in a controlled manner.
Canada had the best immigration policy in the world imo for years, took in tons of people.
and the public turned on it once it appeared like it was a chaotic and people were scamming the system.
With the housing crisis combined with diploma mill colleges luring international students for higher tuition costs,
we now have tons of young people crammed into single family homes that have been converted into slum like student housing.
canadians started to notice this, and they HATE IT.
now you see open xenophobia whenever the topic of "international students" is brought up.
and now they are being blamed for the housing crisis.
now canadians are heated, and have soured on all of it. You can call it racism if you want to....but canadians how ever secretly racist were cool with until it became chaotic.
if there's even the slightest appearance of chaos in the system you have to make a BIG show to the public that you are handling it.
otherwise you risk killing the opportunity for future immigrants.
