For Canada, our window to attract mass immigration is closing, and faster than most of us think. We really shot ourselves in the foot not building enough cheap housing and infrastructure to support this growth.
Without enough immigration, along with a low birth rate, Canada won't be able to develop a lot of key areas / industries we need to succeed in the longer term. There will be less people paying taxes and more people to service with them due to aging demographics

Attracting immigrants is a good thing. Letting in so many people that it strains the infrastructure, housing, health care, and social system is not. Ideally, immigration should be capped at 1% of the population annually (410,000). IN the last few years, we have been admitting over 1,000,000 people per year.
Mass migration created too many problems from 2021-25.
