"It's a Byzantine system that has very little regard for refugees as human beings" (Bourrie 2). By allowing these number of immigrants each year we reap enormous benefits. There is a growing concern that "Canada's population must not only be maintained but must actually increase if the economic and social infrastructure is to be supported" (Ungerleider 3). Canada always states themselves as the best country to be living in; the home of the free. It's one thing to state something, but it's another to go back on your words. Canada is in high depend for population growth. Without refugees where are they expecting to get it from? "Canada needs more young people to balance the increasing proportion of elderly Canadians....A static or declining population would result in a decrease in the standard of living for all Canadia!

The federal government said Karimzada could not stay in Canada because he had been an official of a repressive regime. He is appealing to the courts. (Bourrie 1) Immigration system critics say the government has singled out groups such as gypsies and Kurdish refugees for unfair treatment. Both groups are required to get special visas before entering Canada, and gypsies say they have been refused access to Canadian immigration offices in Eastern Europe.
