So essentially you want Canada to be a low-tier, poor, underpaying country.
You can have cultural influence without going nuts on immigration.
Why is anti-immigration sentiment on the rise in Canada?

With the astronomical cost of lodging Canada will never become a low-tier under paying country. The math ain't mathing...
Either we tackle the problem now, massively lower immigration, build government based social housing by the thousands or let the market go and see the society going to shit with criminality and violence.
You need to do two things if you want to lower immigration.
1) Fund universities more so they don't rely on international students
2) Raise minimum wage so Canadians can afford to take those jobs that temporary foreign workers are filling
I'll agree on one thing, yes the math ain't adding up. Full-time employed people can't make ends meet.
Once inflation sucks up and absorbs the baby boomer wealth, things are going to get real serious here.

Haha I wanted them to with a white guy. But when I got here I got scared. Dunno how that happened. lol
It could have to do with the fact that our immigration system is so lax that we are importing legitimate terrorists who's intentions are to come here and kill Canadian citizens? 
Simple because Canadians are struggling with the cost of life and the Gov is flooding the country with more people that are struggling and can't afford the cost of rent., food , gas. Not even welfare is covering the cost of living.
Some people are beginning to realize that the financial viability of our health care system depended upon most taxpayers contributing to the system for most of their lives while healthy and only drawing upon the system heavily during a relatively brief period of retirement.
Our immigration system, especially the family reunification and refugee claimant aspects of the system, upsets the financial balance. Too many immigrants are accessing these resources before they have contributed enough to the system.
Add to that the shortage of family doctors. That shortage affects new Canadians much more frequently than longer term citizens. Without family doctors, people use emergency rooms and emergency services (paramedics) for basic health care. Go to any hospital emergency room and see for yourself.
Immigration of the elderly is not the only problem our health care system faces, but it is a readily visible one.

If they have that intent, it won't be pretty for either side. lolIt could have to do with the fact that our immigration system is so lax that we are importing legitimate terrorists who's intentions are to come here and kill Canadian citizens?
It's there, it's just not covered by any mainstream media outlets. Go to social sites twitter or TikTok, you'll see stuff there.
Health care is provincial and DoFo has given us the lowest per capita spending in the country.
Immigration isn't the problem, its the use of temporary foreign workers as 'serfs'.
Housing and climate change. Displaced foreigners want to come here and compete with displaced Canadians. The housing crisis is through the roof (pun intended) People living here can't always afford both rent and food. Easy to blame "outsiders"...
Its time for a real discussion about the use of Temporary Foreign Workers displacing Canadians with close to slave labour for Timmies.
The federal program has been corrupted by provincial and corporate interests.
Toronto Star has always been gung ho about immigration.
Surprised they printed this:
Canada’s promise for immigrants is now at risk (thestar.com)

Except Canada's economy is doing the best in the G7.They only did because it's written by an immigrant from India. It links to another article in the Financial Post.

Posthaste: Canada's standard of living on track for worst decline in 40 years
Canada's GDP per capita is on track for the worst decline since 1985, says Fraser Institute study. Find out morefinancialpost.com
I've said it before that unchecked mass immigration will eventually lead to a decline in GDP per capita. Looks like the decline is here.
That's a big part of it. Socials promote incendiary content because anger drives their bottom line.
It's too bad that people have been convinced that they can be informed by simply reading random shit that the algorithm feeds them. It's that first peak on the Dunning-Kruger curve
That's just the narrative being pushed.
Any time things are tough, whether inflationary or employment, people start worrying about losing what they have and therefore look for someone to blame. The Media (especially in the US) realizes they can no longer openly stoke fear of black men so they code it in terms like 'urban' and try to focus us on (non-white) immigrants. Notice there hasn't been a big uproar about the number of Ukrainian refugees in recent years?
Massive increase? Flooding?
According to wikipedia, the immigration rate (as a percentage of population) hasn't changed significantly in forever. Except for 2020 (covid) the immigration rate has been in the 0.7%to 1.2% range. At best you could claim that the immigration rate is slightly higher the past two years.
Without a doubt this issue is racialized as fuck.
That being said it is also an issue of second world countries versus Third World countries. Chances are someone who came from a third world country is going to be happier on social assistance then someone from a second world country who may feel that is not enough and will become a productive member of society faster.
and then there’s this:
