How to read these statements

Vote on your current views first. The references in this box are optional background — they are not a test, and we surface more perspectives and analysis after you participate (consensus map and journey recap).

References aim for institutional variety (for example official data, legislatures, international bodies, and independent research). Inclusion is not endorsement; external sites set their own editorial standards.

Your vote records what you think today — you are not expected to read the optional references below first. They explain how we frame statements. After you vote, use Consensus analysis (when it unlocks) and your journey recap for follow-up reading.

Vote on immigration levels, settlement, and human rights.

Optional references: IRCC — Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada · Statistics Canada — immigration · UNHCR Canada · Canadian Human Rights Commission

Parliament of Canada — Citizenship and Immigration committee OHCHR European Commission — migration (comparative) Migration Policy Institute
