Well conservatives already won. Following are the standing from each parties on immigration
Conservatives have promised to:
Get tougher on human smuggling; I always support tougher lines on human smuggling
Streamline the process for deporting foreign criminals; Well this shouldn't be issue for new immigrants
Impose a two year conditional Canadian permanent resident status for applicants who are sponsored by a spouse or common-law partner and who have been in that relationship for less than two years; and it shouldn't be an issue for genuine applicants. Lots of foreigners who are not eligible to apply for immigration under any category, they go for paper / paid marriage, it is impossible to completely stop these marriages but will decrease the number by pushing up price.
Have foreign credentials recognized in Canada faster and more easily.Will be good
Good about conservative party is family values, never decreased funding for students and no proposal to do so in near future , cut budget deficits, want steady growth in economy rather than boom, no on gay marriages and abortions, crack down on people in society who use the social benefits in improper way.
Bad lower taxes on corporates with a thought to increase foreign investments but never worked for canada, just 1% increase in current corporate tax rate from 15% to 16% will result in an addition of $973 m in revenue. Conservative likes to generate revenue from other sources than corporates or business.
If elected, the Liberals have promised to:
Reduce wait times for immigration applications and increase efficiency of the current Canadian immigration system; Well in their last tenure the immigration application processing time went up to 6 years,
Increase the number of visas that are issued in the Family Class Category; Well normally every political party will keep quotas on immigration, to increase # of family class immigrants they might reduce quotas on other classes
Increase federal funding for language training programs in Canada for those wanting to improve their English or French proficiency; Skilled worker shouldn't need that but a country with just infrastructure deficits of $300+ (varies from $115 to $637) billion (budget deficit $28.9 b, Canada need $137 b for maintenance of old infrastructure, there deficits in social payments, pensions, and other social services and these deficits are not accounted in budgets) shouldn't spend a lot to improve English of its work force, because to fund these projects need tax rate increase and with current tax structure it looks impossible
and Improve the system of recognizing foreign credentials in Canada.
Higher taxes on corporates without lowering taxes on employees, very loose on social payments, loose on refuges, stand similar to other parties on skilled, partner, and other categories,
waste money on stupid issues, don't promote social values
Bad lower taxes on corporates with a thought to increase foreign investments but never worked for canada, just 1% increase in current corporate tax rate from 15% to 16% will result in an addition of $973 m in revenue. Conservative likes to generate revenue from other sources than corporates or business.
NDP: If elected, the New Democratic Party has promised to:
Improve immigration wait times and fast-track family reunification;Same as conservatives on this line
Reduce the backlog of applications at the visa offices; They support conservatives on country wide opinion on backlog of application and if canadian nationals agree they might ask large number of applicants to apply again under new system
Develop better procedures and appeals for those applying for visitor visas;good or bad don't know
Accelerate the recognition of foreign credentials in Canada; same as other major parties
Reinstate federal funding for immigrant settlement agencies, especially those cut in Ontario;big question mark where the funding will come from
Implement the “Once in a Lifetime Act” which would allow Canadians a one-time opportunity to sponsor a relative who is not a member of the family class to come to Canada; Good idea and
Ensure tough laws against crooked consultants are enforced.best idea
bad and good is one liner were very extreme of Liberals (opposite to conservatives), but I really liked their financing for budget, not bad for legal immigration as their stand is similar to other parties
All parties in Canada on legal immigration stand on same point, they have different views about refuges and illegal immigrants. Conservatives are harsh on this issue. Immigration policy is approved by parliament last year. Canada is competing with Australia on immigration want to decrease application time frame but there is uncertainty in economic conditions, high dollar, inflated housing markets, less spending from government. Government wouldn't like to stimulate economy by injecting money as already deficits are quite high.
Liberals just say, their track record is not too good on immigration they use it as card in high immigrant ridings.
