What this sizeable minority needs to be reminded of is:  1. sometime in their ancestry, refugees or struggling immigrants came into our country which is why they are here today;  2. population growth and economic growth in Canada is very dependent on immigration (including refugees - many of whom are well-educated and fleeing tyranny).  If after being reminded of these things they irrationally hold onto their objections, then our only consolation is that through attrition they will die off and a generation of more reasonable citizens will replace them.
