Each year there are almost 10x as many Indians migrating to Canada as there are Americans: https://www.immigration.ca/where-will-canadas-401000-immigrants-come-from-in-2021 https://www.immigration.ca/where-will-canadas-401000-immigra... Despite being a country of European heritage, there is no European country in the top 10 for migration into Canada. Most of the migration source countries are places where labour is cheap and working conditions are poor. If your objective is to increase population, increase 'diversity', and depress labour conditions, then Canada's immigration settings are suitable.

Any country that open migration for Chinese or Indians is risking becoming another China or India just because of the sheer number of people in those countries. If countries want diversity they should insist on equally diverse migration from other countries/cultures, not 2 or 3 sources of most immigrants, that's not diversity, it is a takeover.

> Despite being a country of European heritage There were plenty other humans in Canada before Europeans arrived... Western nations have depressed labour conditions around the world for centuries and they are still ensuring that any immigration is going to be to their advantage. (Or at least, the advantage of their corporate and political elites.) The increased precarity and anxiety experienced by working and middle class people in the West is not due to some labour-robbery by people from developing nations. It's a whittling away of social welfare and economic opportunity and a concentration of wealth greater than that of any pre-war time. The diminishing status of middle class westerners still looks better than the chances you get in India though, so of course foreign workers will probably compete at levels you weren't prepared to, for rewards you deem insufficient. But in both cases, you are fighting for a small piece of the pie, the vast majority of which is taken by the most rich and powerful. So why not point the finger at them? Canada is rich enough for all its citizens and migrants to get N-fold richer at the expense of a very wealthy few. Rather than making some migrants slightly better off at the expense of the working and middle classes. You're falling for the con if you think migration is the problem and not the mass exploitation of all workers.
