Canadian's attitudes toward immigration in the COVID-19 era

Immigration is a major source of economic and demographic growth in Canada. Governments have closed borders and/or restricted immigration as a result of COVID-19 worries and attempts to control its spread. In the meantime, there has been an upsurge in discrimination against Asians and immigrants in general. This research explores whether Canadians' perceptions regarding immigration have changed as a result of the epidemic, based on a national survey. According to the findings, Canadians are concerned about immigration and would want to see it curtailed. Immigrants and racialized people are also subjected to more prejudice and discrimination.
