I know that fairly well-off, educated people have to fulfill various pretty strong criteria before being considered, certainly the case for a Morocccan acquaintance of mine and his family, while we will seemingly let any random Afghani from a village somewhere in, no hassle.

I've never tried to get into Canada so I can't speak from my own experience, but I know people (white, university educated with a couple of yrs of professional experience in their field) who were denied Canadian working visa. Yet you hear about illiterate peasants from Vietnam and what not effortlessly cruising in. I mean who am I to judge, you let in whoever you want, but it just seems really weird.
As for multiculturalism. Some "cultural elements" such as ethnic/national cuisine I'm fine with. More fajitas and teriyaki chicken please. What bothers me when immigrants have very little respect for the "house rules" so to speak. Bringing your own culture over is fine, but I draw the line when immigrants bring cultural elements that effed up their own country so bad they had to leave in the first place...
