FYI, the problem is much worse than 400k legal immigrants a year. There's also temporary visas, and fairly recent changes in law regarding time to citizenship (Bill C6). Canada approves over 1M temporary visas a year and they're good for 10 years, so each year the applicants are an entirely new cohort. See below

Temporary Visas

In 2015, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada processed more than two million temporary resident applications and extensions, which was an increase of more than 18 percent over the previous three years.

Approval rate is usually around 80 to 85%, based on 2016 and 2017 data.

2016 it was 1,401,633 and 2017 it was 1,536,917 temporary resident visas handed out.

Bill C6

Changes in Bill C6 gave up to 1 year time towards citizenship for time spent in country as a temporary resident and reduced time to citizenship from 4 years out of the last 6 to 3 years out of the last 5.

Applicants may count each day they were physically present in Canada as a temporary resident or protected person before becoming a permanent resident as a half-day toward meeting the physical presence requirement for citizenship, up to a maximum credit of 365 days.

Within a few years time Canada will be diluting the voting power of the electorate in favour of foreigners.

Thank you for this information.

It's absolutely insane how much people are being admitted when the infrastructure can barely support them all. In some cities, Hospitals have been so overcrowded, patients are nearly forced to die waiting in the hallways.

Why do you oppose immigration? The government and private sector are in lock step telling the public for decades that immigrants will just become new Americans. Do you reject the liberal egalitarian claims? Do you reject the assimilation narrative? If so how can you be so sure the government it wrong about immigrants but right about experimental gene therapies?

Immigration doesn't have an end goal. This is problematic because unlimited resources and land do not exist, yet it's being given away to outsiders at an infinite rate. Even in the liberal fantasy event that says immigrants can be assimilated, infrastructure is more likely to collapse if we continue to transfer the entire's world population into highly dense and populated areas. Ironically, I did make a thread that did cover this idea. What happens if there's food shortages? The answer I got was millions of people are going to kill each other, fighting over the last berries they can find in a forest.

I don't see how vaccines put a stress on the native population. Quite the opposite. Having less sick people in Hospitals is meant to free up resources since Doctors no longer have to prioritize treating Covid patients vs someone who broke their leg or has a seizure.

Edit: Man oh man, I just remembered this oldddddddddddddddddddd video that put the entire immigration fiasco into perspective by using gumballs.

Funny thing is, when I first saw it (back in 2012?) I didn't think much of it. But now, it's more true than ever.
