Compared to the Swedish model where the government handles the whole process, I find the Canadian one really interesting. Many of the success stories I've read in Swedish media is from more rural places, small villages with ≈ 100 inhabitants, where the community have stepped in and tried to help in the ways they can. And on the other hand, the worst stories are from places where essentially no "native" swedes live and the circle of unemployment and low language skills etc is just perpetuated.
The swedish response have mostly been plans to place immigrants in more affluent neighbourhoods, which of course have caused NIMBY-outcries. I would be _really_ surprised to see the model mentioned in the article implemented in Sweden, but it would be interesting.

- contergan 10y agoOh boy, speaking as someone who unfortunately grew up in a high Muslim immigrant neighborhood, you're in for a ride if you think Muslims will integrate as well as German or other European migrants - or at all. As far as I'm concerned that kind of immigration is pure cancer and has directly led to lowered quality of life for me and many other people here. I can't even think of a single positive aspect of Muslim immigration, especially not in a large scale - maybe you can give me some hints? Why would any sane person welcome more of those Islamic nutters into their community?
