Canada’s Open Approach: Immigration Despite Concerns
As Canada continues to welcome thousands of immigrants each year, concern has been raised about its immigration policies by some in the public and media. Pierre Poilievre, Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, recently addressed the growing trend of social media campaigns that deter potential newcomers from moving to the country.
The minister emphasized that Canada’s immigration system is at full capacity, with a record number of applications received. However, he acknowledged the challenges his team faces in processing these applications while encouraging people not to put their lives on hold to come here.
Social media has become an avenue for experts and former immigrants to share their experiences, offering potential newcomers a better understanding of life in Canada. Vashistha Sevak, whose Instagram page @viratintoronto has nearly 140,000 followers, said he continues to post videos that provide insights into the realities of life in Canada.
Rishabh Dutta, through his YouTube channel, highlights issues like rising rent and scams, while Daniel Bernhard from the Institute for Canadian Citizenship points out that these videos help create a more balanced platform by offering diverse perspectives rather than just negative ones.
Canada’s integration efforts have seen some success, with many newcomers thriving. Stein Monteiro of Toronto Metropolitan University notes the duality of opinions online, which helps create a more level playing field for everyone involved.
Despite these positive signs, experts like Poilievre stress that caution is necessary to ensure the integrity of Canada’s immigration system and to address concerns about potential abuse inadvice given to international students. The government remains committed to welcoming immigrants while maintaining an open and inclusive approach.
