I live in Vancouver, B.C., and love the cultural diversity here. I hear it is much the same as in Toronto in that regard. I personally think it is great. Canada is built even more on immigrants than the U.S. is, and to me it is a good thing.
That said, I do also believe that immigrants should learn the culture and language/s of the country they immigrate to, even if they practice their own culture and speak their own language in their homes/neighborhoods.

I think there's more immigration in some areas than others. Canada is a small country population-wise and we need more people in the empty parts of this country.
I like diversity. I'm all for immigration. I don't like the "mosaic" that we have though. I prefer America's melting pot. If you live in Canada, you should be proud to be Canadian and learn english (or french if in Quebec). Don't have to lose your roots, but make new ones in Canada and be proud. I hate when some immigrants complain about living in Canada. It frustrates me.

NO. Without immigration, Canada will not exist because the Canadian population will decrease and there will be no labour force to fill the jobs in every area of the economy.
Mind you, the Canadian Immigration policy would not allow just anyone to come in. To immigrate, one has to fit one of the needed occupations listed by Immigration Canada. This means, Canada only lets the people it needs to come in to the country. These people either have the money to be an investment immigrate, or have some needed skills to be technical immigrate. Therefore, immigration pretty much drives the country forward.
And I agree with the point that unless you are a Native/First Nations etc., at one point, your family immigrated to this land too.
And I disagree with the "melting pot" theory. I'm 2nd generation Chinese Canadian, and I want my children and grandchildren to be Chinese Canadian as well, instead of just Canadian, like the American's do to people. This is why my parents chose Canada over U.S. Just so you know, we are proud to be Canadians, at the same time, we are just as proud to be Chinese.
It's pretty ridiculous that once I asked an American oriental kid with a Chinese last name weather he is Chinese, his answer was, "No, I'm American." .... Good for you, kid, good for you...

yes and you brought it on yourself. you let those sob politicians do it to you. always been that way. other than a rare revolution, people behave like sheep. a fllock of sheep stalked by the wolves. they wander around bleating until they are shorn or eaten. wish the people in canada, usa and elsewhere were more like the founders of the usa. nobody like that now. people are sadly so ignorant of history and what is swirling around them. just bleating sheep lined up to be fleeced or slaughered. how does it feel?
