That is terrible. Direct result of populist "keep them out" polices.
Possibly not. I've known several people who have emigrated from various bits of Europe to Canada. They all found the immigration process irksome, but because of its bureaucratic rigidity and insistence on dotting every
i and crossing every
t no matter how trivial, not because they felt it was slanted against them. All a few years ago so things might have changed.
All the Canadians I've know seem pretty welcoming of immigrants no matter where they are from. Although there was an undercurrent of dislike towards rich Chinese who started turning up as China liberalised economically. The thing that was always mentioned was that the Chinese they seemed to form rich 'ghettoes' which didn't seem to be a thing with any other immigrants. Richmond in BC is an example of the phenomenon. Not so much a "
coming over here taking our jobs" thing as a "
coming over here buying our property, pushing up prices" thing.
