Has immigration to Canada become harder?

1) Yes 2) Yes 3)Yes 4) You are subject to arrest and deportation with a ban from re-entering Canada. It will not matter that you have proof that you have been here on business. If your family members are immigrants their citizenship can be revoked for aiding and harbouring an illegal immigrant and then subject to deportation. If they are full citizens they are subject to other charges. Now would you like some help to become a legal resident of this great country that you have chosen to live in?

If you have been living in Canada without permission, you are an overstayer . Working in Canada makes it worse. People who have overstayed are illegal and are not eligible for permanent visas.

I hope so. Immigration to Canada is totally out of control.

Yes, Immigrating to Canada has become more difficult thanks to the conservative government. There's a lot of anti-immigrant sentiment in Canada, pick up any Canadian publication and read the comments on immigration articles, most of the comments are borderline xenophobic. I suggest you don't migrate here if you're Asian or middle eastern, you should move to America, American people are more tolerant and accepting there.

Has immigration to Canada become harder? YES (and about time too, since there are many Canadians who can't get jobs) Has immigration to Canada become harder the past few years? YES Has getting a permanent visa for US citizens become harder? Don't know What if you've been living in Canada with family illegally without paperwork for a year now? if you tell them you've been here for business for a year, will they ask for proof? Then you should go back where you came from and apply through the right channels. IF you've been paying your taxes and creating jobs for Canadians (instead of taking jobs away from Canadians and mooching off the social system), then maybe Canada should take that into account, otherwise, go back to your native land and apply to immigrate the correct way because it's people like your family who are making it more difficult for immigrants trying to gain entry the right way.

Has immigration to Canada become harder? Unfortunately no, it is not harder. "Refugees" still show up and are let it. I am not against refugees but if they are coming from safe countries like the USA or the UK then they are migrants, not refugees.

Yes, Yes, Yes and Yes, once they find out you have been living here illegally, you will be deported.
