Edmonton Alberta Canada

I'm 50 years old, was born in Canada and am contemplating moving. I do have a nice job and a home, and I'm not having any financial problems, but I don't see Canada finding a positive direction. Too many of our politicians are completely myopic, and have no idea what is going on in the country -- ideology over people. Was recently offered a nice job in Ukraine and am considering it.

Like I explained, to those who say this will sour the us and canada's relationship. Americans don't care because even though Canada is less than 50% white, in they minds its still a majority white nation. That's why you don't see the BUILD A WALL etc, like you see with mexico, because even though the majority of immigrants crossing into the us from Mexico, might have been Mexican in the early 2000's, now that's not the case, 300k Colombians in one years, 175k indians, 75k turks, 150k, from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Afghanistan, 500k from Russia and Ukraine since the war began, 200k from ecuador, 75k Chinese per year etc etc. And they scream, build a wall, and make mexico pay for it. Because mexico is less than 20% white. At this point with all the immigrants canada gives citizenship too, mexico is probably more white than canada at this point or will be in the near future. But y'all don't see as that, like i said y'all still think canada is a majority white nation when it's not, and mexico is a amarindiean majority nation when with all the immigrants canada has now, sorry, new Canadians mexico is probably just as white or even more so than canada. And for those that think I'm exaggerating, read the comments or the lack thereof, and the ones that do comments completely overlook the fact that they can use and are using canada to reach the us, and completely want to change the conversation to the ones crossing from Mexico, why? Are there or are there not using canada to cross into the us, and the thing is this people pick which country to use, as we choose which restaurant to eat at!!!!!!! Well, I like.... I would prefer..... today the majority choose mexico. Tomorrow as you just saw will be canada, will y'all also scream build a wall???

Please help me to fly to Canada please

This campaign message paid for by the Conservative Party of Canada. Sadly, the Canadian populace is currently in a mood to buy into the BS of grievance and elect Poilievre, who will then trample human rights, bust unions, and further enrich corporations to the detriment of societies most vulnerable. The pendulum always swings back to greed after a period of social progress.

Can confirm living in Canada is becoming more and more impossible by the day, as a little update to the economy, minimum wage went up today again. (Everything’s boutta get way more expensive shortly)

A family member about your age has left Canada. He likes where he is.

Why Canadian goverment does not put the caps and should do control migrants population they should limit migration and should have better screening rules for entering in Canada

Grass is always greener on the other side. US has more violent crime, school shootings, homeless, drugs, and inaccessible health care. US foreign policy and economic strength make it both a leader and a target in all kinds of conflicts, which damages the security and future outlook for an average person. Not to mention the clowns and criminals ruling the federal government and running for president.. European countries have their own issues, Asian countries their own (they have greater economic inequality and sexism, among other issues).\n\nI still consider Canada one of the best places to live. I have a good job and a good life here, I feel secure. Yes, there are things I don't like as well, that's why I earn in Canada and travel extensively to get the best of all countries.\n\nAnd finally, the reason real estate is so expensive in Canada is because of how many people want to live here. It's obvious – if Canada stopped being one of the top immigration destinations, real estate would stop growing in value so much.

Wow ! Stolen land….. seriously?? I am an immigrant myself and I respect the land of Canada. Canada is Canada bcos someone has built it into Canada. Would these immigrants have stayed here if it wasn’t a so called “stolen land”?? Or would they have just come here to adopt the lifestyle of indigenous people if there were no whites on this land?? They came here bcos of the heritage that white people has built here and for the better economy that is raised by the white people. How dare they blame the legacy holders as stealers and still dare to stay on their legacy??

Trudope will let them all in, they are future liberal voters, will take years to fix Trudopes problems, remember in 2015 he said and I quote, when I am done you won't recognize Canada, well he was right it is now India 2.0

I lived on an alternating basis between Canada and Vermont USA. Vemont is the closest to Canada, in terms of experience.

Its a shame to Canada as it issues so many student permit with work permit and treat them like shit when its in their control. Media and people in Canada have no clue of it. They spend 20 to 30k$ on each student permit. Why would Canada issue the student permit then?

situation is bad to worse in Justin T Canada look below news : \nCouncillor says Young girls being prostituted for rent in Brampton, Ontario, Canada\nplease vote to save Canadian where ever u go if it possible

Poilievre's Canada

Whatever you said is right but canada do not call or request please come to my country

Real international student brings money and high quality people to Canada. However,there are some students coming to Canada aiming to work and to gain income back home. Why entrepreneurs and start up programs that can bring money to Canada takes years (over 3 years) to process and the number of applications is shrinking. Canada needs money to sustains the economy. Importing thousands and thousands of servants but not enough money to pay? Why don’t they look into the infrastructure and the system of the country when planning their immigration policies? The money behind these policies must be big.

omg.. just to know when they apply what happens\n\n- free legal aid (paid by the government - which tax payers are paying)\n- 800$ a month social assistance (paid by the government - which tax payers are paying)\n- free health care (paid by the government - which tax payers are paying)\n- free medications (paid by the government - which tax payers are paying)\n- free education (paid by the government - which tax payers are paying)\n- free court attendance (paid by the government - which tax payers are paying)\n- free mental health sessions (paid by the government - which tax payers are paying)\n\nand much more to list...\n\nThis thing needs to STOP immediately and they all should be going back home. Canada is not a refugee hotel to rack up expenses on the back of Canadians

At least they're educated.\nCalifornia State has more people than the entire country of Canada.\nGive me a break.

JUDAS TRUDEAU STILL HAS ANOTHER LONG YEAR TO PUT the FINAL NAILS INTO CANADA'S COFFIN

I’ve been dreaming of moving to Canada for 10 years, but didn’t succeed neither through Skilled worker program nor via EE.\n\nI feel slightly jealous for people having a PR or citizenship that just don’t value it..

And in the other hand, Immigrants from Asia, especially India and The Philippines are lured by these immigration agencies to get a job and live in Canada without assessing these economic factors. They're thinking that Canada is white so it must be heaven out there.?

Thank god they did...Canada desperately needs more immigrants.

Deportation and removal. No one that is deported leaves Canada anymore.

As canada pm says every person is allowed to enter and they can do what they want I respect them. So why Canada is thinking so much about these news . This is normal for Canadians. one day the khalistani will also do this in Canada with indian especially hindu community. and this will not a shocking for Canadians because the pm welcomes...........

I guess pang caregiver program or blue collar job yata like mag hati ng karne ,fruits pickers yata iyon na need pa ayusin yung papeles dahil temporary work permit lang yun statues but if want pati kasama agad family at pag dating agad Canada green card holder agad afterc3 years citizen naman landed immigrant program o yung federal program yung apply nyo kasama agad family at may SIN agad .. score system ito smart naman pinoy kayang kaya IELts din .. good luck !!

Residential real estate is a bit of a racket down here on the tax farm oops I mean Canada. Stuff “costs more” because fiat currency is worth less when guvvermint prints it to excess, normally near election time. If 20 million eligible voters took 1 - 2 minutes each day to send a short email to their MP cc the PM which would burn down the servers then maybe…\n\n… another pork barrel way overpriced contract would have to be let to friends of the elites to “fix” the system to “keep Canadians safe…” \n\nOn second thought don’t bug your MP.

Ruining Canada

Whole of punjab is already in canada

Immigration is fine, but need to be a bit more selective though. It appears as there is only one country that is supplying immigrants to Canada currently, India. Which is not fair to anybody as it defeats multiculturalism. Why there is only one race dominating? So many Indians everywhere. \n\nBring migrant from all over the world instead, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, why just India. Something is not right.

I live in a town right across from Buffalo NY Toronto the last 7 years have been filled with Indians we had basically none but in the last 2 years they’ve literally have taken over the town I live in if you go to McDonald’s Wendy’s A&w etc it’s literally 100% Indians that work there and they barley understand English so they mess up your order half the time ?‍♂️ fast food restaurants are typically entry-level jobs that teenagers work at so they could save up for college etc not for all the Indian immigrants that come here and now it’s getting to the point the managers of these restaurants are Indian so they only hire their kind it’s getting bad unemployment for teenagers is at an all-time high in Canada

Just go away try Elsmere Island it's still Canada isn't it ,or don't you kno

They pay 1500$ per ielts band in India to get into Canada and Canadian government won’t deport them at all ?????

Quebec is the safest are you kidding me bro its the most racist province in whole canada too much of racism is there in Quebec

i never understand your issue with indians our peoples are hardworking we respect every community dont hurt them likr hindus buddhist sikhs help the poor peoples most top companies ceos are indians the next president of USA is indian kamala harris canada should be happy that islam isn't growing tht much here otherwise it will end up like europe muslim states where sharia will be approved on everyone non Muslim will forced to become muslims hindus sikh of indian are most helping people's

Mr Nosa my brother although it's possible according to your analysis,but it's not 100% guarantee after leaving Canada to apply for a work permit.

canada has nothing to do amongst you guys. follow the rules mostly of you perhaps gradauted knows and understand the sysytem. Find and look The Meaning of TEMPORARY in the dictionary. so you can be followed and not lost and again if you knew your qualified go and apply for legal basis. that is why we have Immigration.

What I like most in Canada is the free health care to all PR's and Canadian citizens.

Canada needs immigrants. but if this has some issues and restrictions to be implemented in this area, and report is talking about specific nations why new rules are expected in sept 2026 and not earlier? interesting.

All countries have different different cultures and religions, it makes countries beautiful. Pakistan only one religious mostly one culture that’s why country going down day by day , different people have different ideas for success, Canada take big money if someone come for business or study . People discrimination give fear only . India have so many cultures or religious that’s why people very loving and caring their it’s like beautiful Garden but Some people these days crazy about western culture freedom so they run western countries otherwise they have free home in India no payments so much more free they got from parents. Too much Freedom never good . Young India like Canada because they don’t want to live under control there parents because Indian culture is different so they like to go other countries for freedom or good future. Family respect and responsibility is religious but new generation want to run from responsibility . Do good karma for society or for country

If you go to Delhi on a visitor visa, why would the Indian government approve you of a post-graduation work permit or permanent residency? This is because India is not a country who have policies or programs for student visas or permanent residency for immigrants. Yes, indeed, they should not demand permanent residency, but it is not the students who make these immigration programs including student visas or temporary work permits or pr, it's the Canadian government who introduced all these policies, and if somebody is applying for student visa and spending $50000 for studies, they are applying because they see potential for permanent residency and that's how immigration websites do the marketing for attracting the international students. If they had known that work permits or pr is not possible through any programs, they would not have applied at the first point. It's the government's responsibility to make it clear on their policies or on immigration websites. Now they started making it strict by closing those programs but it's too late, what about the people who are already here invested their money. They did not enter Canada by just waking up one day and thought lets go Canada. The government welcomed them and they approved them. The argument of the reporter is totally wrong because they did not know that they would face hatred or racism when they applied for student visas. Now they saw a large population and started hating.

These people wouldn't get admissions in good indian universities, how did they end up in canada in the first place?

Government let in too much people from India and that is why Canada end up with this problem. So many countries are banning Indian immigrants. India need to controll their population growth and stop let their citizens be a problem to the whole world.

?they cant afford to live in Canada so their fcn off?

Canada's borders must be closed for a decade minimum. \nIt's time for the government to take care of canadians first.

This Trudeau animal is the root cause of all the mess in Canada it is not the immigrants fault this Trudeau animal didn't plan housing's he raised House mortgages so people had to rent homes because this dog and his party didn't plan a d mind u this filthy dog government maid a lo of revenue out of international students billions of dollars a year this Trudeau dog not only scored Canadians this dog also secured international student this low life dog.

Millions of people are illegally entering from Canada and Mexico, but media highlights 5000 from India entering USA ????

mostly punjabis bringing shame to canada. Justin's vote bank politics will make our nation worst.

Unless they are studying a high level skilled and specific hands on education such as doctors. Everything else can and is currently offered via internet and technology. They no longer need to physically come to Canada any longer. Everyone else? Bye bye bye. Do not even come to Canada. Go back!!!!!!!
