Almost half of Canadians think country should cut immigration, says polling

Earlier this month, U.S. President Joe Biden implemented a ban on asylum seekers who cross the border from Mexico. The move, just days after a presidential election in Mexico, is seemingly at odds with the traditional views of Biden’s Democratic Party, which has always been regarded as more lenient on this particular issue than the Republican Party.

Canadians are evenly divided when asked about the effect that immigration is having on the country. While 42 per cent say it is positive, 44 per cent claim it is negative. Canadians aged 18 to 34 are more likely to look at immigration in a positive light , but the numbers fall drastically among their counterparts aged 55 and over and aged 35 to 54 .

We continue to see a split in the way Canadians think the country should welcome immigrants. For 44 per cent , Canada should be a mosaic, where cultural differences within Canadian society are valued and preserved. For 42 per cent , the concept of the melting pot—where immigrants assimilate and blend into Canadian society—is the preferred option.

We see two-thirds of Canadians who think the hard work and talent of immigrants makes Canada better, and a similar proportion who believe immigrants should only be allowed in Canada if they adopt Canadian values—a proportion that rises to 86 per cent among Conservatives.
