Some 300,000 immigrants landed in Canada in the past year. It is the highest number since record-keeping began in 1971, Statistic Canada says. July to July figures show that 320,932 immigrants arrived. The largest element of these was the 25,000 Syrian refugees which the federal Liberals agreed to settle here. That number is a 33.3-percent increase over the prior year, when 240,844 immigrants came to Canada.
With this huge influx of immigrants, yet I cannot get any of my children to migrate much less to visit. Canada’ s immigration laws prevents the sponsorship of children over the age of 19. They are considered as adults.
