Canada has set a record for the largest number of Permanent Residents to arrive in one year. Link.Canada sets new immigration record with 430K newcomers in 2022 (msn.com)

A note for our American friends. ALL of these people had to apply from their own country, with a proof of their University education graduation, a Police clearance from their home country, a medical examination for them and their children, and proof of having at least $35,000. 00 Canadian in liquid funds to support them and their family once they arrive in Canada for the first year. Past history shows that most PR holders ( more than 80 percent ) become a Canadian citizen with in 6 years of arrival in Canada. These people are looking for a stable country in which their children can grow and prosper. That is the goal. We need more educated hard working people here in Canada. Canada is the second largest country in the world, after Russia, but our population density is low at just three people per square mile of territory. JimB.

Would a person automatically be disqualified if he/she did not have a college degree?

Not automatically, but we are looking for people who have EITHER a University degree, preferably a Master's OR people who have a skilled trades certificate with at least 5 years of actual working experience in their craft. We are looking for STEM graduates who received their education in either English of French, so they can communicate at a University level of oral and written level with their co workers. Canada recruits medical Doctors internationally.

My surgeon came to Canada from Bulgaria in 2010. He is a world leading specialist in bariatric weight loss procedures who teaches dozens of other international Doctors at St Mikes Hospital here in Toronto. His surgical OR broadcasts live to a number of US University medical schools such as Johns Hopkins, and Mass General on closed curcuit TV. The Canadian Government offered him a annual salary, a home in the suburbs of Toronto and a new BMW to induce him to come here. He is just one example of the aggressive recruiting we do to get the very best applicants to come here.

Yes Nemo the vast majority of the refugee claimants are being rejected by the Immigration and Refugee board tribunal. Based on their being "economic migrants " not genuine UN charter refugees. Those who are rejected are subject to deportation and a ban from reentering Canada for 5 years in the future.

I have a good friend who is a CBSA inland enforcement senior investigator in the Toronto area office. He has a 14 person team whose sole job is to find and arrest those who have been ordered deported, but they went under ground. He says the team has so many files they could double the number of investigators and it still would be a up hill battle. One of their standard practices is to hit coffee shops at 6am, looking for illegal construction workers who are waiting to be picked up by a van to be driven to the work site. Home Depot and Lowes stores are also good places to look for the same types of illegals, who are trying to get a "day job " for cash from contractors who come to buy supplies at the store. JimB.

Any interest in taking a couple million non-skilled, non-English speaking people from Central and South America? After all, our population density is a lot higher than yours.

Population of Canada by province and territory​

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia





Map of Canadian provinces and territories by population (2021). Legend: (dark blue: dense to light blue: undense)
>10 million
5 million to 10 million
1 million to 5 million
500 thousand to 1 million
100 thousand to 500 thousand
<100 thousand
Canada is divided into 10 provinces and three territories. The majority of Canada's population is concentrated in the areas close to the Canada–US border. Its four largest provinces by area (Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, and Alberta) are also its most populous; together they account for 86.5% of the country's population. The territories (the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon) account for over a third of Canada's area but are home to only 0.32% of its population, which skews the national population density value.

NO we set the bar high for a very good reason. We want those who have the education, actual past work experience in their field, and the ability to speak (at a high school level ) one of our 2 official languages, plus they must have a cash amount ( depending on their marital status and how many kids they have ) of at least $15,000.00 CDN up to $35,000.00 for a family of 4. This money is to support them through their first year in Canada after arriving here. Canada looks at what other first world countries do in terms of their immigrant policies, and we try not to make the mistakes that others make. JimB

That is NOT a law. It is simply a poem that was inscribed on the statue, and has not one thing to actually do with immigration. You should read the ACTUAL law. And we don't live by Shakespeare nor Tennyson's poems either.
 
So who cleans offices and hotel rooms in Canada? I wouldn't think college educated immigrants with cash reserves would want to do that. The USA depends pretty heavily on immigrants willing to work low wage jobs. I think we'd be in a world of hurt without our wonderful first generation teeming masses.

And they came. Processed thru a legal port of entry. Unlike the thousands monthly entering America illegally.

There is a difference isn't there?

I think I read that the increase in Canadian immigration will try to target immigrants to go to areas that need workers. Plus target particular skills that need to be filled. All that makes sense as an immigration policy.

We also have short term work permit holders who fill those types of jobs. Many of them later convert their temp work permit to a Permanent Resident status by attending University in Canada. When they graduate they get a 3 year PR status which allows them to work in any part of Canada for any employer who will hire them. BTW Canada has the highest percentage of adults who hold at least a 4 year University degree, because of all the educated Immigrants we attract from all over the world. In 2022 56 percent of all the adults in Canada are University degree holders. In the USA that figure is around 33 percent.

We must be doing something right, we get more than 4 million applications a year from all over the world to come here. The best scoring applicants get the first invitations to come here, in some cases if their education and skills are in great demand, their application can be approved in under 3 months. JimB.

Plus then the doctors were watching for signs of contagious diseases like trachoma, tuberculosis, diphtheria, and other states of health such as poor physique, pregnancy and mental disability.

Now, you could be a walking petri dish of diseases and slide through.

I never said it was, but it shows who would be more welcoming to the unwashed masses.

You are right. Each of the 10 Provinces and 3 Territories have a "Provincial /Territorial nomination program " that allows the Province to pick applicants who have skills and education that fits a specific job vacancy in that place. An immigrant who is nominated by a Province or Territory get a faster approval process by the Federal Government than the general pool of applicants. By doing this both the Province AND the applicant are best served. In some cases the Province may offer extra encouragement such as assisted housing or child care at a reduced rate. Employers can send job openings to their Provincial Government, as well as the national Job Bank system. JimB.

Yes, I understand that. But we are told that for humanitarian purposes we must take in the masses at the border. Don't you Canadians want to share in this exciting philanthropic opportunity? We'll throw in some free Spanish lessons.

One other way to look at it: Without the teeming masses (most of whom, of course, are good people trying to make a better life for themselves and their families) employers would be forced to raise wages. Of course we would all pay higher prices, but maybe that would be a good thing.

Thanks jimintoronto. You make me proud to be a Canuck!
 
With those demands, I think I know the kind of people they are looking for and why, and I'll bet others suspect the same. :unsure:
