Immigration to Canada

I want to live in Canada but the government won't allow me because i don't meet the requirements. Why isn't it possible to let everyone live in the country he wants?

Just sneak across the boarder (it is easer/safer than Mexicans crossing the Southern US border), hang around lumber yards offering to work off-the-books for less than a Canadian. Also, take advantage of the health care system and other Canadian benefits while you are there. Just be sure to send money home to your family in the US. If they figure out how to stop you, maybe we can use that method to stop the Mexicans from doing it to us.

But why isn't it possible to just let everyone live in the country he wishes?

Well, the reason that the immigration laws are the way they are it to prevent an influx of citizens from Third World countries. It isn't that we don't want you, we just can support a mass increase in population.

Because it isn't in the countries best interests to let everyone in.

Sorta like the US and Mexico?

What should be done with US citizens caught illegally in Canada?

You mean there will not be enough jobs for everyone if everyone will be allowed to come?

I guess the state as a priority has to secure jobs for its people first before it secures jobs for foreigners.

I guess it means they actually try to protect their border. But of course Canada isn't propped right against a third world country. Bring your papers, apply and get accepted so they can register you just like it should be done.

What makes the Canadian immigration laws so elitist and greedy is that Canada only accepts talented people with advanced degrees and special skills and rich people who can invest their money in Canadian banks. Those who are not talented (don't have special skills or advanced degrees) or not rich they don't want in their country.

And that is their right. It is like your home, why can't I just come one in, and sleep in your bedroom, and live in your house for a while. You have the right to decide whom to have as a guest in your home, so can they.
