52% of Canadians support immigration levels.

According to a new public opinion poll by Angus Reid Institute, 52% of Canadians support the current immigration levels. Of the 1,522 Canadians surveyed, 39% said the target was at the right level while another 13% said it should be higher. 40% said the target is too high and another 8% said they weren’t sure. The Angus Reid Institute survey provides a snapshot of public opinion on immigration as Canadians waiting for the results of the country’s 43rd federal election. Despite the fear of many experts, immigration was not used to manipulate society. Canada plans to admit 331,000 immigrants in 2019.
