Quebec has personal
control over the amount of
immigration they receive into their Province each year via the
Canada-Quebec Accord of 1991, and with the average
Quebec sovereignist mindset aligning itself closely to the likes of
Marine Le Pen, I doubt that things will change much. They've got things pretty comfy right now, I think they would rather hang onto Canada that risk the economic stagnation that comes with demographic decline.
The
SNP on the other hand seems pretty
pro multicultural in wanting to loosen immigration controls. The UK has lots of immigrants, the problem is, is they all want to head to
London & the south where it's warm.
Independence might fall in their favour in this regard, as they could directly take in a lot of immigrants from
India and the
middle east to counteract their demographic decline.
