I don't agree with your points. Canada is a generous country doesn't mean it's a perfect country. One has the right to receive welfare doesn't mean that he doesn't have to work. There are plenty low pay work outside but still some people even don't borther to try them. Instead they just reply on the welfare and doing nothing. It's not fare then for those who work hard and still earn no more than those on welfare. Yes, it's not right to just compare the refugee and immigrants as in each group, there are some good or bad guys. One advantage of keeping a generous welfare system is to reduce the crime rate, I don't see any other benefit of it.

You are entirely missing my point. I was not debating on whether Canada is a perfect country or not, I was enraged by the original post's attitude towards immigrants and refugees.
I think Canada is an extremely generous country. It's rather amusing that those who do not contribute to the society (in fact take the most advantage out of the society) tend to complain the most about it. I've seen too much bitching (excuse the language) about how crappy Canada is treating its immigrants, and frankly I've got one thing to say: you too have a CHOICE, a choice to live in this country or go to wherever you feel happy, China, Australia, Madagascar for all I care, simple as that.

来自没有宗教信仰的国家的人,是无法理解博爱和平等的。加拿大以基督教及其分支立国,很多事情的出发点都和圣经隐隐相关。那些在这个国家生活不到五年(或许更长,unlikely though)的人,对人家的文化背景,宗教信仰,价值观念毫无认识,有什么资格横加指责人家奉行了大半个世纪的移民和难民政策?
回到原题,为什么难民比你移民爽?很简单,因为他们是难民,在申请难民身份的时候,他们已经声明自己一无所有,只能靠别人的怜悯过活。你技术移民(独立移民) ,是自己千辛万苦,左一个右一个document证明了你自己可以在这个国家自食其力的。来到这里找不到饭吃,除了自己加倍努力之外还可以埋原谁?如果混不下去,当然也可以扔掉自尊去领救济。在加拿大,只要肯干,还没有人会饿死。

Personally, I agree with lifeisfun, Canada is a country I love but it does not mean I cannot point out its weakness and unfairness in the society, all said, we are here to contribute to the better environment of the society. If criticism is not allowed here, what a joke !

It looks that you seems quite understand the policy for Canada immigration and refugees. I guess you miss one point that this policy also evolve in the last century, and therefore, it's not a fixed one. Don't forget everyone has the right to express his own view and that's the foundation of the democratic country. So don't say something that one doesn't have the qualification to criticize the policy.

Talking about the refugee, there are indeed many people who lost anything and come to Canada for better life, but there are other who abuse this system to achieve his own goal. I think we are not blaming those to have no skill and ability but turn to welfare for a living. We are blaming those who don't even want to try to work but just reply on the social assistance for their whole life. That's not fair.
