I thought Canada was all lovey-dovey and loved them some non-citizens. No?
Some migrants in Canada lose work status while applications languish
Migrants living in Canada are facing longer waits to renew paperwork that would allow them to keep working legally, as growing backlogs and changing rules stymie efforts to maintain legal status, according to interviews and data obtained by Reuters.
Losing status means people who have paid taxes cannot work or access medical care and other services in a country that has long prided itself for its universal health care.
Universal health care is great until you have to wait 13 months to get an MRI to see if you have a brain tumor.
Canada is trying to reduce the number of migrants in the country as they have been blamed for straining services – a sharp change after years of growth – and is relying on people to leave voluntarily to meet its targets.
Canada realized that the massive numbers they were bringing in were unsustainable. That doesn’t mean they will stop bringing in people from around the world who do not share the language, do not share the culture, will mostly refuse to assimilate, and expect Canada to accommodate them and change for them.

Canada will bring in 395,000 new permanent residents in 2025, 380,000 in 2026 and 365,000 in 2027, down from 485,000 in 2024, according to a government source.
The number of temporary residents, meanwhile, will decrease by about 30,000 to around 300,000 in 2025, the source said.
Of course, those temporary residents mostly do not seem to ever leave. Meanwhile
NY state set to end resettlement program for migrant families in city shelters
A New York state-run resettlement program for migrants — criticized for its slow pace in placing families — is coming to an end, after relocating roughly half of the families it was set up to help.
New York’s Migrant Relocation Assistance Program (MRAP), launched in July 2023 amid a surge in migrant arrivals to New York City, will cease relocating new families on June 15, according to Anthony Farmer, a spokesperson for the state Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance, which runs the program.
It was designed to get all those illegals out of Sanctuary City New York, because illegals are expensive and cause problems, and NYC liberals didn’t want to have to practice what they preached.
Farmer said the program is ending because fewer migrants are arriving in New York City and seeking shelter. The change also comes as the Trump administration has cracked down on immigration and sought to cut and even claw back federal funds to jurisdictions aiding immigrants.
It’s because Texas governor Greg Abbott doesn’t have to ship them because the number of crossers was down to just 7,000 in March 2025, after being in the hundreds of thousands most months of the Biden admin.
Canada’s immigration policy is based on the fact that no one really wants to migrate to Canada. They go there because the USA is an easy trip across the border from there. Now that the USA is cracking down on BOTH border crossings, Canada realizes they will be stuck with all the immigrants themselves. Just like when NYC stopped taking immigrants after the federal govt turned off the money tap.
