There is absolutely nothing wrong with accepting immigrants over the age of 40 if they meet certain requirements. Financial independence is one of the most important ones.
There are a variety of quality jobs a 40 year old person can old that if added to the Canadian economy will result in a net benefit for everyone.
Say he retires at 65, that is 15 years of work he can provide, and 15 years of paying taxes. Provided he makes a higher standard of living than most people, that is 15 years of paying more taxes than most.
We need to be tough on accepting immigrants that are only a drain on our social services, but make it easier for people with higher education, etc, etc to come work in our country.
