"...On June 18, Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino announced ambitious new targets for the number of “protected persons” — refugees and asylum seekers who are given leave to reside in Canada while their cases are being decided — and their families who will be admitted to Canada. The number will go up from 23,500 in 2020, to 45,000 in 2021 (Canada has admitted an average of 30,000 in recent years)..."
Diversity, inclusion and compassion of course will be argued but are not genuine when the amount is based on mathematical limits:
"...According to 2019 data from the City of Toronto, 40 per cent of individuals living in the city’s homeless shelters were refugees and asylum claimants. Among families staying in Toronto shelters, in 2018, the city noted that refugees and asylum claimants represented a staggering 80 per cent of the total. Similarly, a study of Ottawa’s homeless shelters in 2018 revealed that almost a quarter of those using the shelters were refugees or immigrants...."
And it is not just on a per capita basis, Canada deliberately set limits, sought after and accepted more refugees than the entire USA, with 10 times more the population.
"...It is striking that Canada admits more refugees than the United States, a country with a vastly larger population. In fact, Canada overtook the U.S. in 2018, when this country resettled 28,000 refugees, compared to 23,000 in the U.S. Part of this no doubt reflects the Trump administration’s’ crackdown on admitting refugees, but it also speaks to the Trudeau government’s ambition to accept a large number of them..."
