They are so pro immigration that they are extremists. The American equivalent would be your population growing by 14 million in the last year. Would you support this? Our unemployment rate is rising and we have a severe housing crisis but they will not reduce the rate.

US gets approximately 0.5% to 0.7% population growth from immigrants, Canada is gets around 1% to 1.2%.

But US gets 2+ million illegal immigrants annually, which adds another 0.6%.

So US and Canada both have very similar immigration rates after all.
