Mail Article: Cent and Survey Participants

mail article: When survey participants were told that number, of more than 3,000 participants, 59 per cent said that was the right amount, 25 per cent said that was too many, and eight per cent said that wasn't enough, according to Brandon Sun. Friday Globe and Mail article also noted a Nanos Research survey of 1,000 Canadians conducted for that paper last August, which found that 39 per cent said the government should accept fewer immigrants in 2017 than the previous year, slightly fewer — 37 per cent — thought Canada should accept the same number next year, while 16 per cent believe we can accept even more. Over the last few years, about 250,000 new immigrants have come to Canada per year. And yet, Immigration Minister John McCallum has been pushing for a substantial increase to the number of immigrants that Canada welcomes to our shores."I think we need immigrants because we're aging, because we have labour shortages," McCallum said recently. "And so that is the direction in which we are heading now."I think with our mindset of welcoming newcomers in the beginning, with the facts of the labour shortages, aging population, we have a good case to make, and I think we will be able to convince a higher proportion of Canadians that this is the right way for Canada to go," he said. As we have seen in Brandon, at least, a decade of immigration to our city has made our community more multicultural, with many newcomers starting up businesses as well. There are, of course, good reasons for Canada to rely on immigration. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
