Recent immigrants think Canada's immigration targets are too high, prefer Tories to Liberals based on polled data

Well-supported — high-quality sources agree

What we can confirm

Multiple recent polls of newcomers and immigrants to Canada find that majorities believe current immigration levels or targets are too high, and at least one national survey of Canadians shows Conservative voters are most likely to say immigration levels are too high and to see the Conservatives as best able to manage immigration.[2][4][7][10] However, readily accessible public reporting on polls that simultaneously break out both immigration-level attitudes and federal party preference *specifically among recent immigrants* is limited, so the precise partisan preference component for this subgroup is less directly documented than the attitudinal part about targets being too high.[2][4][7][10]
