A recent Canadian Museum for Human Rights survey uncovered a shift in public sentiment towards immigration in Canada. The study polled 2,500 Canadians in both 2023 and 2024 and found that 56% of respondents believe refugees and asylum seekers “receive too many benefits,” marking a significant increase from the previous year. Additionally, there’s been a notable decline in the percentage of Canadians who view immigration as beneficial to the country, dropping from 52% in 2023 to 44% in 2024. The survey also highlighted concerns about economic strain associated with immigration, prompting calls for further investigation into these changing perceptions.
