Graph of Canada's population vs worker productivity from FT.
Unsurprisingly, if you rapidly expand your population by importing millions of third worlders, per-worker productivity will go down.
The fact is we're not all equal. Canada's population is significantly smarter than the world average. Importing the rest of the world en-mass will inevitably degrade that advantage.
Making IQ tests a requirement for immigration would be a good start.
