Will Canada remain an attractive destination for immigrants?

As an immigrant myself, yes. It is very attractive just by the fact that Canada's government isn't 100% corrupt and it's honestly very family friendly. Sure, there are problems, but they pale in comparison to a lot of other countries'.
It took me 5 months to find a good job (that wasn't service) - so competition is tough and the initial steps are ridiculously expensive, but it's all good. Infrastructure and systems are suffering right now, but in the next 20 years, I'm confident it will catch up.
The corruption is getting worse every year though
Although global corruption is increasing, Canada is still one of the least corrupt countries in the world. According to the CPI, we are the 14th least corrupt country in the world
This makes me lose hope in the future of our world. But I guess I'm glad to live in Canada.
Every now and then the world goes into a dark place which is what (I believe) we are heading into now. But the world has come out stronger from most of those dark places and I believe it will simply repeat this cycle
That is a strong message, thank you for spreading the positivity!
Coming from Uruguay, I didn't feel a big change on that regard when coming to Canada, which I guess makes sense because we are tied on the ranking.
I think it sometimes takes interacting with people from other places in the world to realize how lucky we are in some sense.

I read that a lot: going out and experiencing different cultures gives one a better perspective. I spent a number of years in America, for instance, and I definitely missed Canadian healthcare from 1999. I still do, but a bit less; but I still do.
The part that isn't corrupt is colonialist!
corruption is getting worse every year
I know one political party loves to screech about this, but do you have numbers?
Is it worse than the same year where we signed FIPA into law and then, same year, a backdoor for China into our customs database? I think that was a rough year for us and our self-worth, but awesome for comedians.
It's really easy to say something like that when you're blind to the actual corruption in the world. We have it incredibly good here in Canada - you must be quite privileged to lead a life where you think we are massively corrupt, since you have nothing to compare it to.
