Canada has always toyed with an immigration policy based on the Apartheid regime of South Africa and to the then racist policies of Australia. (Whites only immigration). The 1969 white paper on immigration was the watermark until now. The shift from that approach came with Trudeau's need to balance Quebec's separatist position, and the push within Trudeau's electoral riding by the philosopher Charles Taylor who he was competing against to secure a seat in Mount Royal.
Trudeau's embrace of diversity and multi-culturalism was a political ploy to steal Taylor's thunder and mesh it with the rampant regionalism from the West, Quebec and the Central Ontario's need for a working class.
Trudeau's immigration legacy is a myth that he had opened doors to the non traditional "Sifton" immigrants. Whilst he did shift the flow of where immigrants came from he never facilitated us to be more than a working class. He ensured that checks were in place that we would have a perpetual glass ceiling as to the limits of immigrant achievement. Dr. Nandita Sharma's book Home Economics expands on this. The rise of "immigrants" has come through educational and small business achievements. (can't get jobs so we make our own). These advances through education is now perceived as a threat to the Harper right wing CONservative voters. Whilst their children were playing in the sandbox "immigrant" children were taking extra lessons or even simply doing their home work.
The pattern of immigration discrimination is not new, it was not long a go that an educated man like Bora Laskin was denied a position at the University of Toronto because "he was a Jew" however he rose to become Canada's best justice on the Supreme Court. Canada was built buy immigrants who exploited the land at the expense of the Indigenous. Perhaps this is just a new synthesis!

We still have high unemployment... Bringing immigrants over is a way of lowering real wages (which may or may not be too high to support a healthy economy of our type)

trudue, fooled immigrants that it was a sensible policy to help reduce ridiculous waiting lists, and at the same time allow immigrants on the scale we are talking about to integrate into Canadian society and build a life for themselves and their children.
