My family were refugees fleeing from the Vietnam war due to fear of communism and religious prosecution of being Catholic . We came to Canada in 1989. My parents had little to no money , they didn't speak english before. They work hard and did any menial labour job to support the family and help my siblings go to school. We lived here for over 30 years, integrated as Canadian citizens.\n\nIf their legit political asylum seekers or refugees seeking help thats fine. But I don't think its right for people to abuse and exploit the system to skip ahead in line for permanent residence/ citizenship and get free handouts from tax payers money.

Asylum? is their home country an active war zone? And is the war cause by Canada? If Canadians are struggling to make a living and to afford an apartment, let alone a house, then what do they think it would be better for them? And why does the government not take care of their own citizens first?

Canada’s lenient immigration policies for a long time have made it a target for individuals from developing and corrupt countries seeking entry through various means such as refugee claims, student visas, marriages, and even fake trade skill diplomas. People do corruption in the third world and then claim refugee status in Canada and get accepted easily, so Canadian society is becoming full of those corrupt culprits from around the third world. This has led to concerns about why Canada has become a hub for such activities and whether it is compromising its reputation as a developed country. There is no real shortage of labor in Canada; rather, it is the greed of some employers, often first-generation immigrants from poorer countries, who exploit cheap foreign labor and are not willing to pay fair pay to Canadian labor. These employers, along with immigration consultants, homeowners, and small business owners, perpetuate the narrative of a labor shortage to justify continued immigration for their profits but that immigration is tearing the values of our society apart. I fear, soon Canadian passports on the international airports will be treated like a third world country passport. This situation raises questions about the true necessity of immigration in Canada, especially when other countries do not seem to have the same demand. The influx of older international students, particularly from India, taking jobs that could go to Canadian youth, further fuels the debate.

I want to live in Canada. If anyone wants to trade, come and live in Morocco and see how heavenly life is in Canada compared to other countries. Generally, every strong economy has its downsides, which people will always tell you about. That's just how the system works everywhere. It's not about the country; it's about the individuals. If you're poor, you'll stay poor, and vice versa.

I have lived in the USA all my life. First in New York then in California. Now I am a writer and book illustrator. I enjoyed visiting Canada but as I am a senior I am not welcome to move and live there from more then six months at a time.

So if you don’t like Canada, Canadians, our ways and laws, why protest? It’s obviously not for you here. Save yourself the trouble and go to the home you love and didn’t protest.

Wake up Canada

Immigrants are leaving Canada? Well done Trudeau

Immigration in Canada is a cycle. My guess is in 5 to 10 years the doors will be wide open again for immigration as the Boomers die off in mass. Housing is an issue because the entry level houses are not being built. I know guys in construction who develop homes and they ALWAYS build upper to high end houses because they are more profitable for the builder. Combine this with many people buying 1 or 2 extra homes and then using them as airBnB (Igor! lol!). But the worst is large hedge funds buying massive amounts of homes for profit. Some estimates say 20% or so of the housing stock is owned by hedge funds atm. In the last 4 years Hedge funds made MASSIVE purchases in real estate as a hedge against inflation. Canada does not exist in a vacuum as the USA has some very similar housing issues. One last thing is people do NOT want home prices to go down. 2/3rds or so of people own a home and the LAST THING they want is for their home value to DECREASE! So you really will not see massive changes to decrease home prices no matter what political party is in power. The majority of voters have a vested interest in high and higher home prices. Making it easier for people to buy a home is probably the best short term solution.

Middle class guy from India here :\nWtf is the Canadian government doing? Wtf are the Canadians doing who are voting for these kinds of policies and leaders?\nI sympathize with Old Canadians because the truth is that, the majority of immigrants to Canada are only the trash from Punjabi villages! Good riddance for us, but I wonder why are they being legally admitted to Canada and also now USA? Do you really need so many blue collar workers (because that is the reason given)??? Also, please make yourself aware of the money rackets by Canadian government and private entities around fake colleges/degrees and fake asylum seekers!

If you are in Canada , behave like a canadian. Please wear a turban!

canada needs tommy robinson

India is the largest source of skilled migration to nations like Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc. Skilled, unskilled seems people are leaving in droves, means something is certainly wrong there!!

What a dump Canada is crossed off my list

Is there india or Canada?

Too many India person in Canada now. Why collapse multiculture.

Unfortunately I believe more and more Canadians are thinking the same thing. I have lived in Canada all my life and am really looking at leaving the country. If I am thinking this then there are a lot of others thinking the same thing. In the last 10 years of the Liberal leadership has brought a lot of people to the same realization, sad state of affairs where the country is no one would have seen this 10 years ago.

Canada wakes up...

Funny how people who colonized this land in search of India and Indians and later named it Canada are worried about real Indians taking over. \nIndia will definitely create k........inside Canada. Maps already been created, look it up. \nYou guys took in punjabi, atleast should have done some research why Hindus had created sikhs 500yrs ago

Canada is the open defacation of india

To the monarch, go $32,000,000.00 every year from Canada. The biggest welfare check in history.

USA to charge its way of thinking on Cost with Canada

We have so much population , canada have less population migration helps canada

Trudeau is the reason Canada is in turmoil. No money, no work, open borders.

He will probably be sent back to canada (where he will be a citizen through a fake refugee visa) and will be let out of prison in a day?

As difficult as the US has become, Canada makes us feel like Disney.

Canada next Pakistan soon ?

Why are they letting in illegal immigrants then? The government should blame itself for letting this happen, absolutely unbelievable... it's like they create problems and then complain. Trudeau as an prime minister of Canada is a absolute disaster ?

That means that immigration system is corrupt. Trudeau brought Canada down. congratulations Canadians you win.

Ever since Indian international students have received notices to be deported from Canada, I guess the USA is their next destination

We have enough Uber and Skip the Dishes drivers. Could we please stop bringing in people with zero skills and bring in people with skills we could use? It would also be great if we ensured that those coming to Canada share our values. You know, like gender equality, lgbtq rights, etc...

The Indian government should fully stop and pull their kids back and never believe the current Liberal Party of a life of grandure. The Indian Consulate in Canada should deal with the corruption issue with regard to the current youth here.

Leave Canada alone they are lazy they will fall back in their own words

Canada is infested with Indian and all so called brown people thanks to this horrible government nobody in the world accepts them but Trudeau wants millions more voting coming soon everyone knows who not to vote for Wake up Canada

Return their money back. They were given wrong promises. Each month 4 to5 international students commit sucide in Canada and it’s the fact. Canada is steeling their hard earned money from family. Fact is there are only 400 seat in colleges and they are bringing 5000 students. It’s money scandals. Rebel should talk about facts If not for international students our students Canadian students will have to pay high tuition fees. Also stop lying these students when you recruit them. Return their money back and send them back. I am sure lots of them will leave if you return their stolen money

I dont see how Canada is any worse than Texas.

Canada should immediately close its maligned express entry visa programme. Canada gave PR to numerous undeserving people who are now becoming a problem to Canadians, most people who entered from express entry should be sent back. No country does this what canada did, it's total madness.

Also Canada has nepotism so poor quality of any products made in Canada

Canada was an image a mirage, a lie. Immigrantion and the Canadian dream, a marketing tactic of the sales people who run this country.

i think for the most part indian people are hard workers and i deffinatly dont dislike them as a whole but when you bring to many of one race to a country thats supposed to be multi cultural and alot of them refuse to adapt to canadian culture its going to cause issues. Even indians that were born in canada have had enough of it. the infastructure, housing, healthcare ect can simply not support it.

Me living in Canada: I'm pretty happy

Time to pack up and go home! We can’t handle so many broke ass Indians in Canada!

Very nice video with all information about Canada and it's environment. Thanks.

RULES ARE RULES IN CANADA. CRY TILL YOU CAN. ITS OVER.

I visited Canada last week and I was surprised I saw more Indian people than anything I was trippen out if I was in the right place at first

Yes! No one wans to live in Canada. That's why Canada processed over 5 million applications for citizenship or PR status. Obviously, Canadians are fleeing droves as well and the country is being depopulated!

But canada can be soon as poor as india

1980: Canada 95% white. Good times. Now....not so much. The sink is shipping lol

Canada is a white European country built by white Europeans for white Europeans . We are 8% of the world population as whites and expected to house the 92% because they want to live with whites.\nWhy are we expected to sacrifice our safety , jobs , homes , and culture for others just because their country sucks ? \nLiving with whites is not a human right and we are under no obligation to house and feed brown people.

We need a program to repatriate all hindus to their homeland where they can contribute in a positive way to the development of INDIA, not Canada. There are more then enough of you here, we dont require any more. Quite the opposite in fact.
