Canada thinks they have an “immigrant” problem; but America is worse: we have an “illegal immigrant” problem - especially when the government agencies do not enforce the existing laws against illegal aliens, but go out of their way to aid with taxpayer dollars! A slap in the face of American citizens!

Canada the new india sadly..

I’m an American who spends time in Canada doing cyber engineering work in Alberta.. I’d estimate Edmonton is 70% Indian immigrants. \n90% in the engineering fields.

When my parents came to canada 25yrs ago from Korea, they had to bring in millions of dollars and create at least two full time jobs. The whole process took a bit over 3 yrs. I don’t get how new comers are so easily accepted.

BECAUSE EMPLOYERS ,EVEN CANADIAN 100% ARE UNPAYING FOREIGH WORKERS OR NEW INMIGRANTS IS SAD , BUT TRUE CANADA SUCKS 100%

The programme presenter says his home country is Canada, well mate your home country is somewhere in Europe. It's definitely not Canada

Hey! I live in Edmonton Alberta Canada,population around 1.2 million. We have a huge awesome river and river valley that is utilized year round. There are non stop festivals, right now we have the Cari West the largest Caribbean festival in western Canada. Our tap water is amazing, my daughter rents the main floor of a renovated house that includes a garage for 1,400 a month. Gorgeous south side neighbourhood within walking distance to anything. Lots of imperfections as it is a big city and yes there is crime but it does not define what I do and where I go except possibly late at night. The cold in the winter is tolerable for the most part but that doesn’t stop any one from outdoor activities. Just put your warm clothes on and just get out there. I get fed up with winter when it drags on but all of a sudden we’ve been having record breaking heat this summer so I am looking forward to Autumn. We’re 4 hours from the fabulous Rocky Mountains and the wonderful city of Calgary is about an hour 1/2 from there. Alberta is my province and Edmonton is my home. The rest of Canada varies from one province to another. PS. We’ve travelled to various locations in the U.S. and were always treated well and enjoyed our visits, just sayin!

good. the myth that canada needs immigration has caused chaos in canada. myopic vision by the federal government made no provisions for the overwhelming taxing of our infrastructure unfettered immigration would have.

Problem with Canada is the immigrants are not spreading out beyond Toronto. How many go to Saskatchewan for example?

Im lucky I escaped from Canada to the pacific....the govt is the main reason for departure and the immigrant influx is the other. Being out of the country I see how liberal canada is and how happy I am without it.

hahaha - welcome to Canada, the severe cold and a land of immigrants from Eastern Europe. Most a leaving anyway for Australia and NZ. Canada development has not kept pace. Affordable housing stock can be overcome and more infrastructure built. IF there are new approvals and investments. But, Canada economy has stalled.

Thanks for the explanation. But, can it be stated why applying for visa, i mean the one’s explanation why he/she is going to Canada?

let's show immigrants that Canada does not want them f Trudeau we have to act ourselves

Next year, Canada will live the same crisis as the UK right now.

I’m pretty sure there were already people living on the land now known as Canada! If modern day Canadians feel their country is being stolen, it’s just history repeating itself.

Canada has no place for me even though my family has been here for 380 years. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

panjabi's are ruining canada and all indians name

The reason canadians are not able to find employment is very obvious. The indians are buying all stores, fast food, gas stations the list goes on. Canadians are now being discriminated in their own country. Im so angry for this incompetent government to allow this to happen to a once beautiful country its not canada anymore, it now owned to india.

Question, who did the responsibility fall on in Canada to create jobs and does the person applying for those jobs have an obligation to bring or have the skill set needed to do the job?

Trudeau ruined Canada

This is a problem everywhere, not just in Canada.

What would you suggest to a Muslim family who is wishing/planning to Move to Canada in a PR VISA from a Gulf country.\nIs Canada a good country for someone who wants to start a life here from scratch potentially.

India has 1.5 billion people and is heading for 1.7 billion they could emigrate 500 million and still be over crowded. USA has a cap for visas from India and people fight against it. Nothing against people from India but if you flood a country with one culture it has major impacts. How many people should Canada have 30 million , 50 million , 100 million , it is a question that needs an answer.

Too little too late Canada is dead

It’s crazy how most people think that Canada is importing an army of workers !!\nOnly a small percent of the million that come in every year have work visas (in the UK it is 15% and Canada is similar). The large majority are students from developing countries who are looking to immigrate to the first world but don’t have a job, education or any skills. Then it is family reunification and refugees. We are taking in very few highly skilled workers.

To me Canada was always American Sweden. I guess now it's finally your turn to prove me wrong.

And now this YouTuber is teaching millions how to enter America through Canada ???

Trudeau needs to GO. OUR COUNTRY ISN'T THE SAME. ?. IMMIGRATION LAWYERS ARE TO BLAME. CANADA IS A CRIMINAL COUNTRY, FREE FOR ALL. IT'S NOT WHAT YOU KNOW IT'S WHO YOU KNOW. THINGS WILL CHANGE WHEN TRUDEAU IS KICKED OUT OF OFFICE.

Of course immigration is the only cause of this crisis. Because of high immigration Canada's standard of living has dropped from 90% to 70% of the US because of immigration. Only elite workers contribute more than they take and immigrants dilute the benefits of natural resources.

I've seen so many ads about immigration to Canada on Instagram, here in Indonesia.\nA former coworker of mine is saving now to hopefully immigrate to Canada one day. \nThe online ads give us impression that Canada is in serious need of immigrants because of birth rate decline. \nI would love to go to Canada and the western countries one day, but not as an immigrant. I want to be a traveller there.\nI was raised in poverty and brought myself out of it. I cant imagine going back to poverty by being am immigrant in a foreign country. That would be a no for me.

Canada doesn’t owe the rest of the world anything. Don’t move there

I don't understand why people do not put the blame where it belongs - on Trudeau. He is the one that has created this entire crisis by purposely continuing to allow huge numbers of immigrants, half a million to million a year!! People do not see that Trudeau is doing this on purpose to undermine our Canadian culture and country. He wants to destabilize the middle class because he knows that's where the power lies in terms of informed voting. He needs to be removed AS.A.P. before Canada is destroyed completely.

The link of unskilled labor please?canada is my dream country

Governments in Canada tax housing construction to the point that 50% of the cost is tax. That's a major reason for the lack of supply. Governments are destroying Canada and calling anyone\nwho complains racists\n Apparently, the same problem exists in the UK. Must be that WEF CoolAid.

Canada doesn't even have enough housing for the amount of immigrants they have let in the last ten years,it's destroying healthcare, education, housing,crime,.

make Canada great again

You speak the truth brother this is ridiculous I don’t even want to be in Canada anymore.Its not even Canada anymore such a shame

Anti immigrant sentiments rise everywhere not only in Canada.

I had no idea about Canada ? thank you again for letting us know what is going on

I have a relative originating from Caribbean who recently tried setting up in Canada, and echoed what the commentator has, i.e. that you have to start from the bottom in terms of work, having to work unskilled jobs, even if you are already qualified in a profession in your country of origin. Catch-22 situation of being required to have Canadian experience first, is true.

More than half of immigrants to Canada are economic refugees or Indian that exploited student / work visa. People that couldn't pass Canada's regular immigration requirements otherwise

Canada at 100 million is bat shit insane.

35 years ago, obtaining a Canadian visa required substantial financial resources, which applicants had to bring to invest in Canada, along with undergoing a thorough background and health check. It wasn't easy to become a Canadian citizen, so only a select few managed to achieve it.  Today, it feels like the standards have dropped significantly—allowing entry without financial requirements or rigorous screenings. This shift has led to increased crime rates, littering, and even the deterioration of our once-pristine beaches. It's disheartening to see Canada moving in this direction, allowing individuals who may not contribute positively to the country. They primarily come for the free healthcare and other benefits.

Thank God Canada is not an islamic country. Same if a Canadian moved to Islam, they would NOT welcome our culture and freedoms. Multiculturalism creates a space for economic failure, loss of identity, and an overall unsafe place to live. Canadians don't want to change our culture to suit yours. This is a country founded on Christian values.

How many Ukraine came to canada and were given free medical free training subsidised housing.\nAnd they still want more.

I have met so many people in Canada especially from Africa , Middle East and Europe who apply to come here as asylum seekers just because they know they will get govt benefits and housing.

After Covid - in Pak & Ind - Canada was the most desired destination. I made some analysis about Canada before deciding to apply for immigration and reached to the conclusion that Canada is falling soon (not as a country but for the immigrants so don't get hyper on me :)) So just be wherever you are because the world is going crazy. And no place on earth is gonna be peaceful for long!

Balanced immigrants based on merits are good for Canada. It's overwhelming influx of Indians changing dynamics of demographics.

Canada ?

Were having trafficking issues here in Northern Maine too, and a couple young teens going missing, strange thing a lot of romanians have been getting caught at the border coming in from Canada!
