If you increase the rate substantially, it will be similar to examples such as the Soviet satellite states where the immigration levels were artificially ramped up (along with many other measures that make this a bit of a shaky example) and ended up with Russian culture dominating, even today.

I think you underestimate the massive lack of assimilation in immigrant areas in Vancouver in the 50's and 60', German's had their own banks, bakeries retirement homes all centered around the Victoria Drive area, Italians had the drive, black Americans lived off Chinatown, these communities were just as vast as our current migrant population and unlike today most were not educated nor spoke English, if anything is likely todays migrants will assimilate faster
