How are these people getting there?
In the 1990s, as a white European from Slovakia, I wanted to visit Canada purely as a tourist. I had no intention of staying, working, or immigrating. At that time, we still needed a visa to enter Canada.
To obtain a visitor visa, I had to provide:
A valid passport
A completed visa application form
Passport photos
Payment of the visa fee
A letter of invitation (if visiting someone) or a basic travel plan
Proof of sufficient financial funds (bank statements for several months)
Proof of employment (employment letter confirming my job and approved leave)
Pay slips or proof of regular income
If self-employed: business registration and tax documents
Proof of property ownership (if applicable)
Evidence of strong ties to Slovakia (family, job, studies, business)
Sometimes a criminal record check
Confirmation that I had no prior immigration violations
Contrasts historical visa requirements for European visitors with current immigration processes, implying differential treatment through detailed documentation of past procedures.

Canada must repeat what it did in the 1930's and the 1940's. Canada needs to bring 5 million immigrants from Eastern Europe, like Poland, Portugal, Romania, Ukraine, Russia, Serbia, Bosnia, Lithuania, Estonia, Hungary, Macedonia etc. Just look at the Eastern Europeans in Canada, they and their Canadian born children and grandchildren have learned and speak English language fluently. In Canada, people speak English and French. The British and the French values must be upheld. God save the King.
Compares Eastern European immigrants favorably to current immigration patterns while asserting cultural/linguistic hierarchy and national values.
