Agreed, we need more SKILLED immigrants. Not the family re-unification immigrants that are 75 years old and coming to milk the health care system for all its worth.....and let me tell you.....Familiy class immigrants make up the majority of immigration to Canada.
Let me clarify before someone brands me a selfish rightwing nut job, I have no problem with family re-unification as long as they pay for their own cost when they get here. There has to be a certain time period given before they can start milking the system. As it stands now, as soon as they get off the plane....wait....as soon as they get thier landing document signed, they have access to all programs to Canada except welfare....and even at that they can still access it but the government will try and recoup it from the sponser......it rarely happens though that the money is recouped.
