Canada's Shifting Sentiment on Immigration
Canada, known for its welcoming attitude towards immigrants, is experiencing a change in sentiment towards immigration. Despite the country's need for workers to support an aging population, polls indicate that Canadians are becoming more resistant to increased immigration due to economic hardships and housing costs.
