This immigration rule is not being enforced the way the government claims. IRCC is still handing out temporary resident visas—student visas, visitor visas, and visitor visa extensions—too easily. They’re approving 1-year visitor extensions, then another 6 months, and sometimes even another full year if someone applies again. How is that stricter than before? It’s not. The government is misleading Canadians when it says immigration rules are tightening. In reality, it’s becoming more lenient, and it’s frustrating for those of us who follow the rules, pay taxes, and contribute honestly to this country.

The only reason why Canada is on the list is because Canada’s immigration accepts everyone therefore the rules apply

Yet Canada has an app that requires the honesty of the person applying to get into Canada without security checks

How the government is coordinating numbers of newcomers in relation to number of doctors added to the system? Same question applies to number of beds in hospitals, numbers of medical personnel, teachers etc
