Country Survey

Ipsos Dept: And while Canadians have a relatively upbeat attitude on immigration, only a minority of Canadians polled - 39 per cent - viewed its impact as positive, according to Montreal Gazette. Thirty-five per cent of Canadians viewed immigration's effects as negative, while 26 per cent were either neutral or did not know and nearly half the respondents to a groundbreaking global poll believe immigration has had a negative impact on their countries, according to results released Thursday by Ipsos. Forty-five per cent of the 17,601 respondents to the 23-country survey believe "immigration has generally had a negative impact on their country." Only 21 per cent believe immigration has had a positive effect. The rest - 29 per cent - are on the fence. As reported in the news.
