The majority of Canadians polled say they are not in favour of new immigration, while opinions are divided on whether immigrants should give up their customs and traditions to assimilate to Canada, a new survey indicates.

The new Leger poll conducted for the Association for Canadian Studies (ACS) found that 60 percent of respondents disagreed with the statement that “Canada needs new immigrants,” while 40 percent said Canada does.
