Canadian immigration: Boom or bust?
Canada has a proud history of immigration. Why do some now want to close its doors?
Last summer, Canada鈥檚 population grew to a record 40 million people - a moment the Canadian government described as an 鈥渆xciting milestone鈥.
The Canadian people did not necessarily agree. Canada has long been proud of its multicultural roots, but for the first time, surveys show a significant number believe there are too many immigrants coming into the country.
Accusations that newcomers are hurting 鈥渢he real Canada鈥 are spreading on social media, with some arguing that Canadian cities simply cannot support so many new arrivals.
The 麻豆官网首页入口鈥檚 Celia Hatton travels to her home country to learn why more Canadians are questioning their country鈥檚 relationship with immigration, and why others are fighting to keep the country鈥檚 doors open to newcomers.
