Neither the US nor Switzerland have a higher immigrant population in the sense that Canada does.
The US has many more migrants but they make up a little less of the population.
Switzerland has an altogether view on migrants - they have a high rate of 'foreigners' but they are ultimately ex-pats. Canada brings in people to settle, Switzerland brings in people for labour.
I have no idea what you are on about regarding 'charged politics' or 'white immigrants'.
As someone who actively hires immigrants in Canada from all over the world, I'm aware of the system, their level of education etc.
The solution to Canada's aging population is mostly to accept that we are now living a very long time, and most of that time is not productive, which means slightly lower standard of living. Second - more babies and the policies that ensue.
Immigration is a helper to the above, not a primary solution.
- forkLding 8y agoThe reason why I emphasize immigration is because it is much harder and more expensive to increase the supply of babies via policy as the current trend we've seen is of less babies as people become more educated and it takes a much longer time to raise kids until they become productive and their lives may go in the wrong direction in the growing-up process. Its much more easily just to bring in skilled immigrants or immigrants with money and to settle them in Canada and then either get rid or integrate them dependant on their actions.
