I don't think we are competing with another country. The proof is that we are never up to date with processing all the applications from potential immigrants who want to come to Canada.
Canada is a wonderful country and many people want to come here. The question is this: how do francophone immigrants integrate into communities where French is not the predominant language? The problem is not the number of immigrants who hope to come to Canada, but rather the way they can be integrated into, attracted to, and retained in our communities.
