Joana Valamoatoo felt that Canada was a cozy place when she emigrated here from Mauricio in 2012, but that sense has vanished in recent years as immigration numbers have risen and above.
“I came here in 2012 in a Francophone initiative program, an immigration program, and I was welcome, but they also gave me what I needed to succeed here,” he said.
She believes that this is no longer the case for newcomers to the country.

While immigration has taken a rear seat of concerns such as national unity and Valamootoo tariffs said it is the best for her. She wants to listen to leaders to talk about how they will integrate newcomers in the country.
“I think that in the last three years there have been many errors of the federal government with respect to how many people were letting in.”
She feels that this has led to an increase in racism and a reaction against immigrants and international students, who have been blamed for crisis in housing and education.
“I think we need a leader who can unite people, instead of creating division,” he said.
As the population of Canada has pushed More than 41 million people, Canadians and Immigrants The same have expressed concern for whether the country has planned enough to incorporate new immigrants in work spaces, schools and homes.

The matches lack vision to plan, says Calgary Voter
Sanjeev Kumar arrived in Canada with a work permit in 2008 to work in the Alberta restaurant industry and recently opened its own restaurant in the Northeast of Calgary.
He has also seen an increase in anti -immigrant feeling, which believes that immigrants intensify that they are willing to work on minimum wage jobs and create intense competition for work.
“No one has a job at this time. People are fighting. Everyone is fighting. The groceries are very expensive,” he said.
Kumar said the problem hits international students and other newcomers, particularly bad. He has students who go to him, asking for work.
“They are in college, about to finish, but they have no money … they have no food to eat.”
Kumar said that these students and people with work permits do not have the same clear path to the residence as when he came to Canada. Kumar obtained his permanent residence in three years.
“That time actually, when Harper’s government was there, I think everything is controlled,” he said, adding that there must be a balance between immigration and integration.
“At this time there is no balance there. They don’t know what they are doing.”
Since he obtained his citizenship, Kumar has voted conservative, but said he is not convinced that neither of the two main parties has a bold plan to reinforce the economy and make sure there is a stronger labor market for newcomers and Canadians equally.
“They are just thinking, a little thought [like] We simply eliminate carbon tax, “he said.” They don’t have a clear vision for Canada. “
Liquidation services facial cuts
Ali Abukar, CEO of Saskatoon Open Door Society, said that settlement services such as yours are among those who help newcomers to integrate into Canada with things such as training in employment and education in languages. He said that the Federal Government has reduced money for these organizations, since it reduces immigration objectives, which leads to programs cuts in both Saskatoon and Regina’s open societies.
The reduction of populations of immigrant and international students cannot be hastily, Abukar said.
“Many of the international students have been contributing a lot of money not only to schools and educational institutions, but also companies and housing,” he said. He said that immigrants will still be necessary to help Canada solve problems such as the work necessary to build houses.
He talks about the pressing need for the next elected government to adopt a gradual approach to integrate the newcomers in Canada, said Abukar.
“Our [immigration] The numbers did not become where they are on the light switch. And we can’t reverse them in the same way, “he said.
“We must all do better in terms of educating people and raising awareness and making sure we are building an inclusive society … equitable.”
