Generally, we treat everyone equally (no wonder others have this impression of Canadians being nice). If a citizen/PR is not required to show proof of vaccination to enter the country, then newcomers who cross the border with the intent to remain (hopefully in a legal status) would be in the same boat as everyone else, having to abide by the vaccination policies of the province in which they reside. Canada (the federal entity), while making recommendations about vaccines, does not implement vaccine programs, that's a provincial responsibility. They set both the schedule (not sure if there are any provinces that have any mandatory ones) as well as provide the vaccines (without additional cost). There are differences among the provinces on what they require/provide. Obviously, since we are discussing this in a thread about Alberta.
To add to the discussion, try this link to a study about why (and why not) immigrants are, or are not, vaccinated prior to coming to Canada and some of the factors that contribute to their participation in vaccination programs once here.

Since one of the cohorts that the study looked at were Nigerian immigrants, it amused me since my GP is Nigerian (a prince of a fellow). I was in to see him a couple of weeks ago for my annual and in his usual thorough manner reviewed my vaccinations.
Sure, but it’s absolutely fair game to apply public health criteria to entry controls for those who don’t have an inherent right to enter the country. Having or promptly getting the full course of normal vaccines is a reasonable requirement for those looking to immigrate or temporarily study/work.Generally, we treat everyone equally (no wonder others have this impression of Canadians being nice).

So turns out 7 of 11 members of the Alberta next panel all are major UCP donors. Talk about stacking the deck, on top of that UCP members have been getting advanced tickets to the town halls. Seems like a echo chamber mostly, that said I've heard some critical voices have popped up in Edmonton and other areas.

Honestly, from the government? No, I find it hilarious she thinks she can run a police force and a pension plan when she can't even run an ambulance service, schools, or social services.

Demanding a devastated town apologize is certainly a political vibe.

To be scrupulously fair, partisan packing of committees is hardly a UCP-only thing. STILL bad optics, but ....
Seems Club Fed (involved because of the national park area involved) may have also been less than satisfied with the 2024 effort, it seemsMore on brand for this gov

No mention of the special interests that kiboshed Parks Canada’s ability to reduce fuels?
As I’ve written about before, the tourism industry and some locals have fought Parks Canada anytime they wanted to modestly manage forest fuels in the mountain parks. They light their hair on fire at any prospect of additional smoke in the valley or scarring of the landscape and the effects that may have had on tourism. As a result, the Parks Canada head-shed would get gun-shy about proposing more comprehensive fuel management schemes. Then when the devastating fire happens that Parks Canada tried warning everyone about happens, everyone points their fingers at Parks Canada demanding to know why they didn’t do anything.
