I think it's easier to be laid-back about immigration here because of how diffusely populated Canada is. I think for the 'cultural mosaic' model to work the different cultures need to feel they have the space to be themselves as well as have edges and margins where they can interact. That is probably a bit easier in a country with the geographic footprint of Canada.

If you're comparing to the US, the US is still sparsely populated by any means. Sure, the metro areas might be crowded. But I've never hear "lack of space" as the reason for denying immigration.

  In the US, sure. In Canada, we have differing labels because it's a different model.
