A majority of Canadians want the country to accept fewer immigrants and temporary residents next year, according to a new Nanos Research survey commissioned by CTV News, as the country continues to grapple with immigration levels and their impact on housing, services and the economy.

The survey found that 52.3 per cent of respondents believe Canada should accept fewer immigrants and temporary residents in 2027, compared with 33.5 per cent who want the numbers to remain about the same.

    Most of the people complaining probably know someone who did. Picture, if you will.

    1. Employer hires someone for cheaper. Doesn’t need to be an immigrant, but for the sake of what we’re discussing, assume it is.

    2. Employer gradually reduces the hours of a current employee for pick your reason. Likely current employee is part-time because they have few protections.

    3. Current employee’s hours reach 0.

    4. Current employee quits because well, they’re not getting hours.

    That employee has successfully been replaced. Legally.
