Canadians are divided over the country’s record-high immigration quotas, with more than half saying new residents are failing to assimilate, according to immigration department data.
“Half of Canadians, 51 percent, agree immigrants need to do more to integrate into Canadian society,” said in-house research by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. “Just under half of Canadians, 46 percent, agree Canada should focus on helping unemployed Canadians rather than looking for skilled immigrants to fill labour shortages.”
