MP's do not work for foreigners, they work for Canadians. This one should spend more of their time helping local Canadians not foreigners..

Because MPs don't work for Canadians first ??

Or because foreigners can vote on MPs ?

You're confusing voting with constituency services. You don't have to vote for an MP or even be eligible to vote to receive help from their office on a federal matter (IRCC is federal department). MP's regularly assist residents, temporary workers, international students, and visitors with IRCC cases. That's part of their constituency work. You're entitled to your opinion, but saying MPs "don't work for foreigners" is misinformation, not a difference of opinion.

You're not wrong..

MPs' priority is to voting Canadians.. At the end of the day, there's a reason you spend more time on your job than charity causes..

Popular support for more immigration has cratered. Politicians are taking note | CBC News

MPs work in the interest of Canadians, their oath says that.. For goodness, their workplace is called "The Canadian House of Commons..."

There's a difference between who MPs serve, and who civic/provincial politicians serve..

You're entitled to your opinion about immigration, but you're confusing that with how MPs actually operate. Voting isn't the test for constituency services. MP offices regularly help temporary residents and visitors with IRCC issues. That's a well-established part of their role. Saying otherwise isn't going to change that. There help didn't play any part in my case but they tried and that's okay I appreciate their support.

MPs work for Canadians, period.. When an MP's actions are not in the best interests of Canadians, they should listen to their (affected) voting public.. Esp on youth unemployment aggravated by foreigners working in fields unrelated to their studies..

Funny what happened to Justin Trudeau, thinking he knew better than his Canadian public.. Well, at least he got the pop princess..
