Off topic I know but the problem Canada has with immigration is for a lot of them, the low skilled/low wage labour, is a lack of opportunities and an overall lifestyle.

We might like to dream that Canada is still a magical land where hard work pays off and such but the evidence is pointing to more and more newcomers going back home after trying to establish themselves here. https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/high-n...tudy-1.6625208

For a lot of people, they can work in essence slave wages back home as opposed to working for $15 an hour, living multiple people in an overly expensive 1 bedroom apartment in large Canadian cities.

Throw in a lack of meaningful growth prospects for a lot of people and they wonder what they are doing here? Years ago, like my grandparents and my parents, you could work hard and be able to do something. Save money, send money home, open a business that was successful, buy a home, buy an investment property, buy an actual investment property like an apartment building, a strip mall, a commercial building and more.

Sorry for the unrelated post
