poll

Canada's immigration policy took a big hit in public confidence in the wake of 17 arrests in southern Ontario earlier this month, a new poll suggests.

Even though all of those arrested on suspicion of terrorist activity were Canadian residents – and most of them were born in Canada – the new poll commissioned by the Association for Canadian Studies (ACS) and conducted by Léger Marketing found that for the first time more people are dissatisfied with Canada's immigration policy than support it.
