Learn More About the Immigration Questions on the Ballot

Federal immigration policy over the last decade has led to rapid population growth in our province, estimated at 600,000 new people over the past five years alone.

Discover the immigration questions that are on the ballot and how these changes will help strengthen social services for Albertans and save taxpayers money.

BALLOT QUESTION 1

Do you support the Government of Alberta taking increased control over immigration for the purposes of decreasing immigration to more sustainable levels, prioritizing economic migration and giving Albertans first priority on new employment opportunities?

$1B+

The cost of delivering government social services to temporary residents is estimated to cost Alberta taxpayers more than $1 billion per year.

BALLOT QUESTION 2

Do you support the Government of Alberta introducing a law mandating that only Canadian citizens, permanent residents and individuals with an Alberta-approved immigration status will be eligible for provincially-funded programs, such as health care, education and other social services?

BALLOT QUESTION 3

Assuming that all Canadian citizens and permanent residents continue to qualify for social support programs as they do now, do you support the Government of Alberta introducing a law requiring all individuals with a non-permanent legal immigration status to reside in Alberta for at least 12 months before qualifying for any provincially-funded social support programs?

BALLOT QUESTION 4

Assuming that all Canadian citizens and permanent residents continue to qualify for public health care and education as they do now, do you support the Government of Alberta charging a reasonable fee or premium to individuals with a non-permanent immigration status living in Alberta for their and their family's use of the health care and education systems?

Federal policies that almost doubled, and then more than tripled, the number of newcomers in the last decade have negatively impacted our immigration system – putting pressure on Alberta's health, education and other social services, resulting in delayed access to health care for Albertans, larger classrooms for students and unaffordable cost pressures to social services overall.

BALLOT QUESTION 5

Do you support the Government of Alberta introducing a law requiring individuals to provide proof of citizenship, such as a passport, birth certificate or citizenship card, to vote in an Alberta provincial election?
