Actually in Canada mostly. If you are talking about the immigrants arriving from Europe 100 years ago, not familiar with the language, with only the shirts on their back, then "no" not their fault, but the person who goes broke because he has a meth addiction and can't hold a job? Not the same thing mate. And let's not forget that our safety nets in Canada are pretty sturdy. Free healthcare, subsidized housing, childcare benefits, UI, cheap education programs, and the list goes on...If you can't make it work here and you are poor and destitute, I would say their is a pretty good chance it's something you are doing/done incorrectly.
