Me, I'm happy to get any number of immigrants in as long as they pass basic background necessities. Immigration has always meant better economic success. There's currently a housing crisis, but that's not on immigration IMO. It's on real estate strategies, NIMBYism and profiteering.

Quite the opposite actually! I am the son of immigrants, virtually my entire social circle is immigrant and children of recent immigrant backgrounds.
When it comes to protecting Canadian cultures, values, history and more, sometimes it's the immigrants that understand things better. Renaming whatever building or bridge because of some poor history from 150 years ago? If the other civilizations did that nonsense there would be nothing left. There is no mass axing of history in huge swaths of the worlds population but here in Canada we gotta cancel everybody slowly.
Mass, unchecked immigration from Canadian's going to other countries in a hypothetical scenario? Good luck with that. You think they want their culture changed to become more like Canada? If anybody ever wants to see what a culture shock that would be, go check out the travel advisories for a whole host of different countries including established western nations on Canada's Foreign Affairs' website. The subtle wording about modest dress, zero tolerance on social disorder, drug use and to knock off the "I am gender X on my Passport" as those things don't apply to this country.
Logical, reasonable, controlled, modest immigration and making sure we bring in the highest quality people and integrate them exceedingly better than the useless way we do it now. Just ask organizations who deal with refugees and immigrants. The government just brings people in without much in the way of a plan and loads them onto organizations without proper funding or support. We have done such a piss poor job that the embassies and consulates of their home countries in Canada have become overwhelmed with requests for paperwork, documents, translation services and more
A lot of countries are not going to tolerate any of our perceived nonsense in their homeland and changing of culture, religion, stance on issues outside of western norm.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with high quality, modest immigration targets and a slow integration into Canadian society over an extended period. Utilizing programs for Temp Workers and a whole host of other salve like jobs in specific sectors for low wages and to lower wages for Canadians is also terrible.
