Le sondage annuel du gouvernement fédéral sur les attitudes envers l’immigration laisse croire que la moitié des Canadiens estiment que le pays accueille le nombre approprié de nouveaux arrivants. Toutefois, seulement environ 40% des personnes interrogées ont l’impression qu’un nombre approprié de réfugiés sont accueillis au pays, et 30% estiment qu’ils sont trop nombreux.
First, in an effort to curb the movement of poor migrants from outside the European Economic Area, [Britain] introduced a minimum income threshold for non-European spouses of British citizens of $23,100. […] In Britain’s multitiered visa system, there are now many routes to citizenship. For those prepared to invest $1.24m in companies registered in Britain, there is Tier 1: a fast-tracked visa system and a lubricated route to full citizenship. Once in Britain, they will also have access to “non-domicile” tax status, meaning that while they live in the UK, for taxation purposes they will be considered to live elsewhere – for example in the Cayman Islands.
Le Canada sort doublement gagnant en sélectionnant ses immigrants économiques. Car non seulement met-il la main sur un travailleur qualifié, mais il bénéficie aussi des compétences de l’autre personne du couple qui, généralement assez scolarisée, a un fort potentiel d’intégration. C’est ce qu’a constaté une étude de Statistique Canada qui s’est intéressée au profil […].
If one agrees with the premise that there is a so-called “moral high ground” to be found on this issue, who can claim it? The answer is to look east. Way east. While Atlantic Canadians profess opinions that make them among the most inclined to approve of the government’s handling of the refugee file, and to want Canada to welcome even more refugees, they are also taking in the most per capita: 19.2 for every 10,000 in New Brunswick, 15.5 for every 10,000 on Prince Edward Island and 11.7 for every 10,000 in Nova Scotia.
Government documents obtained by the National Post reveal why Canada rejected dozens of Syrians as refugees, and provide a “high-level overview” of the backgrounds of those who were selected. The Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada documents, released under the Access to Information Act, summarize the results of interviews of Syrian refugees conducted by visa officers in Beirut. The refusal rate for Syrian refugees was 4 per cent according to the documents, which, though released only recently, date to the early stages of the Syrian refugee program, when the Liberal government was trying to fulfill a campaign promise to resettle 25,000 by the end of 2015.
In 2013, financed with Canadian taxpayer money, the government initiated a billboard campaign in the predominant countries of origin of Roma claimants. It sought to deliberately deter Roma from seeking asylum in Canada, stating that “people who make a [refugee] claim without sound reasons will be processed faster and deported faster.” The billboards were placed in countries such as Hungary, a country which is still listed as “safe” under the current government.
