Canadians are largely positive and supportive of the Government’s policies on immigrants and refugees.
They believe immigrants are making a positive contribution to the country and help build the country’s population.
According to the survey conducted by the Environics Institute between September 7 and 23, 2021, the overwhelming majority of the population supports current levels of immigration, views immigrants as good for the Canadian economy.
This opinion was stable over the past 12 months.
There is also clear public support for the Government’s decision to accept 20,000 Afghan refugees fleeing the Taliban.

According to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), in the parents’ and grandparents’ sponsorship applications, applicants’ health condition is a critical factor in determining admissibility.
If an applicant’s health condition causes an excessive demand on Canada’s health or social services, the probability of these applications’ rejection increases.
Foreign nationals coming to Canada for more than six months must submit an immigration medical exam, done by a designated panel physician.
This is so IRCC can determine whether the foreign national is medically admissible.

The report by Ipsos states that it is the first time that Canada has moved up to the second place.
“First place rankings on the governance, people, and immigration and investment indices, as well as relatively steady rankings on exports, tourism, and culture contributed to Canada’s record ranking in 2021.”
