If Canada's workforce integration policies worked as well for low and unskilled migrants I might be impressed and actually attribute the success to it. As it is now, it would be rather an alarming failure if workforce integration didn't happen.
I said it before, but when Canada, the US, Australia or NZ are faced with minorities that include the whole social spectrum they fail just like European countries. High skilled and/or experienced migrants find work in Europe just like they do in Canada. They are often over-qualified for the job, but if I remember correctly that problem also exists in Canada.
Well, we also have refugees and family reunification immigrants, neither of which are selected according to qualifications and work experience. And I think we have no trouble wih those because we have systems to ensure they are supported until they can get their own jobs, even if those jobs are not very good.

These customs are obviously in opposition to what people think is "French" and the nation's tradition of Catholicism/secularism. The media, to a certain extent, gives voice to these concerns. A certain Islamophobia is even tolerated in the media (although only certain "intellectuals" are allowed to do this without social stigma, for some reason, the line between sophisticated "intellectuals" of varying quality (Finkielkraut, Zemmour, Houellebecq and the FN/dissidents is finely policed).
If you think the burkini is an Islamic tradition, then you are wrong.
And if French people are getting in a tizzy over this non-issue, then maybe French people are over-reacting.
Conservative politicians - like Jacques Chirac or Nicolas Sarkozy - know that they can get their native French constituency to vote by signaling on these ethnic issues. So they'll talk about "crime" (insécurité), they'll ban headscarves in school (Chirac), they'll ban burqas, they'll talk about how Muslims kids are stealing croissants from French kids during Ramadan (Jean-François Copé's fairy tale), and they'll talk about a bunch of other nonsense. Now Sarkozy is talking about the burqini (an absolutely marginal, but highly symbolic phenomenon) in a bid to get elected again. The the more-or-less statified and ideologically-egalitarian French media, because it would rather not talk about consequential things, then makes up a "polemic" about what these politicians are proposing, which the Left then signals against.
What does the left have to do with this? The conservatives got all uptight about a bathing suit, and the court slapped them down. Are you now arguing at the French judicial system is the left?
But, and this is the crucial thing, no one talks about actually tackling the root cause of the problem: Islamic immigration. Sarkozy did nothing on this, having as many immigrants Hollande or Chirac (more or less). But cuckservatives will vote for Sarkozy based on dumb crap like the burqini, you can bet on that. He is a smooth operator. And by the way, the only political force which seriously proposes to limit immigration - the FN - is informally excluded from power by the conservatives and an electoral law specifically designed to keep the conservative-socialist two-party regime in place.
Actually, a lot of people talk about it. Mostly racist people. I have no idea why anti-immigration people always pretend they are being censored when imiigration is such a huge debate topic.
What I find amazing is that a guy like Sarkozy is both able to professionally pander (race-bait) to the native French in this fashion (and hence he is complicitly cognizant of the realities of ethnicity) and aggressively promote a multiethnic society (even as, again in a cuckey move, he denounces multiculturalism). My mind is not capable of managing such cognitive dissonance but Sarkozy appears to have been born to be a used car salesman. He knows exactly what he is doing. And that is why, in my view, he is a conscious criminal* and an enemy of the French people.
I think you are more than capable of such cognitive dissonance. Do not sell yourself short.
In my opinion, the French fov't is pandering and enabling this anti-immigration bias for two reasons: the first is to maintain or strengthen their power by pandering to racism, and the second is to create a narrative wherein French people are victims and are therefore morally justified in continuing their military interventions in MENA countries.
* In this respect, the conscious cuckservative politician is very different from the naïve leftist who, not understanding the laws of heredity, knows not what he does.
And you could not let it pass without a dig at leftists, and I find it amusing that you accuse your opponents of not understanding heredity while you yourslef believe that race is an intelligent and biologically sound way to categorise people.
And you even think Hillary Clinton is a leftist. Lol.
