Who said Palestinian doesn’t want to leave their land?? Many of them apply to go to Australia and NZ, Canada, Europe and USA as refugees..The muslim world simply doesn’t want to lift the weight

So, what's the main idea? Canada indeed still needs more people to work here but isn't ready to adopt that many newcomers that fast?

When you got a son of the Cuba leader Justin who Dictated Canada ... are you expecting the safty of US

Even the white Canadians killed the natives when they first entered Canada

Too many politicians and activists have too many capitals on large number of immigrants. That is their business and career. Look at their eyes, you will know that they are lying. Canada had successfully historical record of immigration because we have a selective immigration system. It is broken now because too many want to live on the industry of immigration. They need to expand it. We, the test, suffer from it.

Mass migration is a war crime in Canada . No housing or healthcare or jobs even before immigration . This is treasonous by those who promote this. Two lar b e business groups are pushing the federal coalition to mass immigrate for their own financial gain and our loss. The heads of those businesses are friends with our coalition leaders.

I’m an immigrant we came in 1982 , but the problem now is a lot of people here don’t want to integrate with Canadian society and want instead bring their own beliefs. Part of being an immigrant is to assimilate into the culture and not be an outsider. To me Canada is home , this is where I met my wife and my children are born. But you have to work for it because nothing is free. The key word is to become one of us , to become Canadian ??

Landlords pretending that evictions are even possible, and that rent inflation and the biggest housing crisis in history doesn't directly lead to them not getting their rent checks? 2+2 is still 4 big guy, welcome to your Canada 2024...whatever you do, don't blame the goverment and keep voting the way you always have, I'm sure someone will help you out if your problem

It’s not racism. Canada is a nation of immigrants. Immigrants are always welcome. The problem is that there is a housing crisis in Canada. Increasing numbers of of Canadians are becoming homeless and ending up in homeless shelters or in tents encampments. There is a belief by many that our government is allowing in ever growing numbers of immigrants while at the same time marginalizing long term Canadians. In addition to a lack of affordable housing, there are not enough jobs. My son, a university student, had trouble finding a summer job. Temporary foreign workers were taking jobs that Canadians would normally do. No wonder there is a def of resentment against immigrants. The Canadian government is at fault for mismanaging both our economy and the imm system.

In Canada every one is an immigrant.

Where is Canada. I’m familiar with Chinada and Canindia.

Canada now is colonized by Indians. It is hopeless.

Canada is unrecognizable in the past few years. Stop mass immigration from India!

Most people in Canada do like immigrants and try and want to accept newcomers . I am happy to see new faces younger people, people with a different outlook. However this lack of housing is a major problem for poor and lower middle class people - citizens and noncitizens. Unfortunately rents are a racket in most cities, the real estate business is full of unnumbered accounts and money laundering; Canada is full of organized crime from all over the world, we cant control foreign attempts at killing our citizen. So we can tell our government is not efficient and is doing a poor jobHowever I dont think the average immigrant is the problem and I feel they are treated like rubes by our government and taken advantage of and so are Canadians of different ethnic backgrounds who also suffer the same problems of many immigrants. That's the truth. Letting people in with out providing opportunities for jobs, housing, support is foolish and destructive to our country. Our politicians are selling us down the drain-i.e. all those who are not in the upper middle class or the elites. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!! VOTE FOR CHANGE !

*The whole Country of Canada is made up of lies* Even their own citizens do that .

tell me tf about it i live in Canada and theres hobos every where theres to many refugees

We are not in Canada anymore, We are actually in India???

Canada is like a third world country when executing the law, it is sooooooooo slow.

Canada is finally waking up to anti-Semitism. When groups in Scarborough and Mississauga CELEBRATED 10/7 massacre waving palestinian flags on 10/7 we have a problem. We imported hate.

What is future of your children in your home country compared with Canada ?

The story was quite different from the story decades ago. Canada used to only accept immigrants who had a lot of money. The real estate price was driven up that way.

Why would they migrate to the US from Canada if Canada has free healthcare?

Canada is turning into a gangsta paradise .\nvery slow bureaucracy …takes forever to get a response

If Canada stops immigration, there will be 10 people left by 2030.

They have hope for Canada only because they haven't been here long enough to see the total decline in quality of life

I got my first job at 14. Thats probably impossible today for teens now competing with others arriving from abroad. We created a problem we didn’t need. I don’t think “it’s who we are.” Canada and every other country historically bring in immigrants in so far as how they fill a need for a certain skill. Today it’s just a matter of poor management.

Canada is an illusion??‍♀️ some make it, most don’t. That’s life

Its kind of ironic how i feel like i am a refugee and need to leave canada because\nrefugees took my home

Canada needs more people but they need to be spread across and not concentrate in the major cities. This is the situation everywhere and especially concerning the macro-economic factors leading to rising cost of living.

The thing is most of the people I know looking to leave or are bothered the most by the massive amount of immigrants or “students” are 1st generation Canadians with Indian or Asian parents. I really don’t think this is even a racial issue, it’s the fact Canada has these bogus colleges that accept basically unlimited amounts of foreign students, it’s pretty obvious they’re not here solely to study but to stay.

A country goes through ups and downs all the time. We are in a bad place, but scapegoating immigrants isn't the solution. Isn't everyone an immigrant in Canada??

Typical Guardian asking dumb questions. Why is anti-immigration sentiment on the rise in Canada? Maybe because the numbers arriving are too high? Maybe because there is a shortage of housing? Jeez, it's not rocket science.

Students who can’t pay their living in Canada should go back home. As an ex international student, who came here in 2011 I feel more than entitled to say so, because that what the Canadian police was back then. We didn’t even have right to work! So sorry but I don’t feel for all this students

I’m from the UK, where we face similar challenges along with other issues that Canada fortunately does not have. If housing, jobs, healthcare, and education are not adequately addressed, people can become hopeless and susceptible to manipulation by far right extremist groups. This can lead to terrible incidents like the ones we’ve witnessed in the UK this week. ?

U.S. ??↔️?? Canada\nFreedom of movement

Far Right Extremism is the mind disease of our times. Anyway, Canada is an immigrant nation, nothing will change that; it will endure and continue onward and upward.

So they''re no longer travelling to Canada? Now they heading back to New York City.

Great reaction vid.. Love visiting the US, love living in Canada.. Been all over the States including Sandusky, Ohio.. lol.. Also lived 3 years in Windsor (Detroit border).. Differences are absolutely safety. Just gotta be more aware in the States, get your coke from a reputable dealer LMAO.. American's are always surprised a Canadian knows about their teams, NFL is big in Canada.. US has everything for certain, it's a big draw.. Have always had great interaction with American's.

canadas water and air quality is good. india cant even meet these basic needs.and doing a lot of medicine and surgeries unnecessarily for profit is an indian thing.

I am glad. It is 13k less people in canada

Housing is the major issue, Canada is big but the real estate companies make the supply very limited to only supply a fraction of the demand.

I came to Canada in 2005 , I consider that real Canadians are a welcoming society, they are protecting home from abusive and disrespectful people that do not deserve to live in Canada and it is totally fear. As immigrant I agree.

I guess this was how the Native Americans felt when Europeans colonized Canada? Karma...

I am from India living in India. I think Canada shouldn't replace native population with mindless immigration. We in India are also having similar issues due to illegal immigrants coming from Bangladesh and Pakistan :(

White people in canada are not native....

Canada is such a large country its funny/crazy to think how the housing prices have went up so much. At least for starters build more affordable housing, or have designed safe areas to pitch a tent/shelter with water/electricity. I worried about the future whether I will have a roof over my head.

In Bulgaria there are companies who will train you ans house you. 90 percent of people own their homes and do not rent. We have great food, climate, tourism in nearby Greece and Turkey is amazing. Migrating to Canada is not the greatest. Why? To pay for a house until I die?

No no non don't come to Canada. You will be let down.

Why don't they stay in Canada, isn't it supposed to be more friendly and inclusive there?

This is Canada which never bas an original thought or its own causes seeing what's happening in GB and Mimicking!!
