... getting a work visa can be nearly impossible and Mexicans with a criminal record are not welcome.

Say what? You mean they check for stuff like that? Geez-louise.

So, when do the New Canadians start insisting “dees ees ahr lahnd” like they do in the U.S.?

Should be news to Canada that they are actually living on Mexican dirt all these centuries.

This is a boon to Canada since their values and principles cause them to accept all immigrants.

“Canada is happy to host ‘tourists’ from our Southern neighbor, getting a work visa can be nearly impossible and Mexicans with a criminal record are not welcome.”

It’s more that that. If you don’t arrive with “walking around money” they figure you aren’t a tourist but a potential public charge or looking to take a Canuck’s job.
They look to see if you have a return plane/bus ticket and to see where you will be staying and with whom and for how long.
Yeah, this is going to be interesting to see how they handle mobs of indigent Mexicans and central Americans.

Oh Canada, maybe we could arrange to have freight trains head north loaded with our removed and deported? Good luck with that eh/

Also Reuters story this is based on is:

"......their values and principles cause them to accept all immigrants"

I don't know about values & principles, but Canada has a much higher immigration rate than the US.

Canada and the US have about the same population growth rate but because Canada has a lower birth rate, it has a higher immigration rate. All the data is at CIA Factbook

Population growth rate always determines a nation's immigration policy.

We need to have INS waiting on our side of the border to immediately arrest the illegals that Canada sends back.

Just looking for a home........... Just looking for a home...

Canadian government data shows a tripling of Mexicans seeking to travel to Canada in the three months since the visa requirement was shelved.

It is not a firm indicator as many people could be genuine tourists. But tie it to a surge in calls and emails to immigration lawyers from recently arrived Mexicans looking for work permits, as well as the accounts of deportees like Rita and Mexicans already in Canada, and it suggests a new migration pattern may be emerging.

Seven immigration lawyers, consultants and activists told Reuters that requests for legal advice from Mexicans who had entered Canada since Dec. 1 had roughly tripled compared with the same period in 2015-2016.

Between December and late February, Canada has granted more than 61,500 eTAs (Electronic Travel Authorization forms) to Mexicans, about triple the number of quarterly tourist applications received in the year before the visa requirement was scrapped, official Canadian data shows. The true scale of Mexican immigration will only become fully apparent in June, when early arrivals on these eTAs are due to leave.

Flight bookings from Mexico to Canada also swelled 90 percent in January and February versus the same period in 2016, according to travel analysis company ForwardKeys, which reviews all major travel agency bookings. It is unclear what percentage of those bookings were made by people looking to work illegally in Canada.

Look for both labor participation rate and wages to start a downward trend in Canada.

I’m from Vancouver BC and ALL mexicans that I have befriended growing up are well-educated, prosperous and follow the rules. Speak great English too.

Here in L.A. on the other hand...

An official government ID is perhaps the easiest,
