And remember, immigration is not the only issue here. These kinds of policies prevent tourism money from coming into Canada...something that is becoming more of an issue with a stronger dollar.
But I guess it's just easier to fear monger...

What are you talking about?
If there are skilled workers in these countries, they can immigrate to Canada the same as any other person. Eliminating visa's would not prevent this. A lot of these people are considered undereducated and would have a difficult time qualifying as a skilled worker.
Tourist dollars? Really? When the average monthly income of Poland is around $550 before taxes. I don't think we are missing out on a lot of tourist dollars. If someone with money wants to come to Canada, they can get a visa in a few weeks.
It has nothing to do with fear mongering and all about controlling who we want in our country.
