I do believe provinces should have more control over immigration ( from outside Canada, not interprovincial). Every thing else on that referendum is junk. Then again the way even immigration control question is, it could mean interprovincial migration or simply a province to say we will only allow certain race in.

SO NO to everything on that referendum.

    That doesn't even make sense. Once you're immigrated to Canada you can just change provinces.

    What if Newfoundland said "fuck it, we need people, everyone in" then they're just Canadian immigrants who can live anywhere in Canada completely undermining more restrictive provinces and making a mockery of the system. Unless you're suggesting immigrants should be second class citizens bound to their province of arrival like medieval serfs?!?!?

    And provinces do have power to shape immigration programs, like Quebec has a special fast pass for French speakers. But nothing keeps you there.

    That's what I meant by it's ambiguous. There is no policy or clarification and I am not suggesting a policy. Everything you said is perfectly valid and no immigrants should not be bound to.province of arrival, maybe for certain number of years if it comes down to that.
