Thank you Canada for your hard earned tax money :P

The Century Initiative demands that Canada reach a population of 100 million by 2100. That’s roughly a new Winnipeg every year for eighty years just to reach a completely arbitrary number with no infrastructure in place to do so. It is possibly the most reckless, irresponsible set of policies ever embraced by a western government.

What they fail to say is that they do not have enough points to gain PR. Literally hundreds of thousands of people immigrate to Canada yearly (as per the program requirements) and that’s because they have enough points to get invited for PR. \n\nGet your points up, be competitive like everybody else.

Because life is hard in Canada...poor pay, no jobs, having 3-4 jobs but still cant meet one's basic needs, can't afford housing/can't pay rent, living at food banks in order to get basic food to eat, too many coming to live on welfare.... All of this is cause major mental health issues.

Build affordable housing and it won’t be an issue. It is NOT affordable to live in Canada without a minimum income of $100,000.00 per year, per earning person in the home.

Canada will never recover from Fidel Turdeau's globalist agenda. Done!

Canada's leadership is lazy mentally , too conservative and close minded. What is the big deal about building more houses and creating more jobs.? If the USA can do it their narrow-minded leadership can do it too.

What about the third safe country agreement? From what I know, asylum seekers will be sent back to Canada to apply for protection if they sneak over the border from Canada into the US and vice versa.

Canada has the highest taxes in the world. People who arrives here say they were lied to by the Canada Gov't. Its Trudeau Jr. fault and needs prison time. Why are you speaking to a NGO??? NGOs are a parasitical grifters.

ITS ABOUT TIME.RISE UP CANADA

Entire canada was immigrant once ....they destroyed indegenious tribe now they building ethical moral

I came to Canada in 2019 now naturalized citizen by grace of Almighty, all those who want to come here should try coming tomorrow bcoz there are way more opportunities, peace and justice in Canada than what Gul tells in her vlogs..

In my experience, there has always been a feeling in Canada against immigrants. This is generally among the working class. \n\nIn the early 1990s I was doing a lot of work in Canada for a US tech company. I am an American, by the way. One time I was working with a Chinese Canadian engineer, who worked for the client company. We went to the loading dock to check on the equipment from my company, which had just arrived. The native Canadian loading dock workers were openly making racist slurs about the Chinese engineer, right in front of him. He was very careful not to respond. I asked him about it later, and he just waved it off. This was in the Toronto area. I was also warned about Chinese who were involved in organized crime in the city. Then, a few days later I saw it in downtown Toronto. Two Chinese men in a Mercedes had stopped on the road and pulled a woman out of the car and started threatening her. It was a tense situation. \n\nOften it is the government types that welcome the immigrants, for various reasons. Canada does indeed have a demographic problem. \n\nThis is not the 19th and early 20th century in Canada or the US or Europe. Today we have extensive social safety nets. This means taxpayer dollars. In the earlier times the immigrants had to fend for themselves. Even then, there would be feelings against the immigrants. At least in the US it was a time of rapid economic and geographic expansion. Not so anymore.

Canada of early 2000 was a wonderful country. Affordable housing, cost of living was excellent, jobs were available but now this is a crisis. Too much immigration, not enough housing, high interest rates and inflation. Canada is not like USA it cannot withstand such crisis. The politicians have failed the people pandering to their vote banks for votes. Especially Liberals.

The citizens of Canada are right. Canada belongs to the citizens of Canada ??

As a Canadian citizen, I’m interrogated trying to re enter Canada if I travel, told to pay duty, taxes on any purchases.\nThese illegal immigrants walk right on in, get put up in a hotel, given room service meals and a govt cheque in the works.\nWe are punished just for being Canadian citizens

Canada is the New India.

But wait a minute !!! 1 million immigrants in a country as big as China and you guys are complaining. The whole population of Canada fits in 1 or 2cbig tier 1 cities in China , so their cities hv to deal with 1 million migration on a regular basis and accomodate for those changes. Wht is it do hard for Canada to handle 1 million immigrants ? That should be taken into consideration as a shortage of labor is alwaysban issue facing Canada at some point.

Its not why we bringing so many immigrants.....Its why did we bring back Trudeau ????\nNo one is to be blamed except ourselves....we gave this blunder invitation and now we all complain.\n\nIt is said that when poverty strikes LOVE flies out of the window, so when hunger strikes loot, robbery, stealing, arson, fights etc happen. Question\nIs .... Where it will stop. Its all just started n will end in streets...things will get worse than this...Canada is a Titanic that has hit the iceberg..its all matter of time now when it will go down. \n\nAnd biggest suffererers wil be the next generation...?????

Poor Canadians, Canada is lost

Canada itself is an immigrant country.?The Anglo Whites tyere are immigrants too. Anglo British empire occupied Canada from indigenous people.

Who own canada? Those saying my country are forgeting they themselves are immigerent and not a native.

Toronto is not part of Canada anymore.

Canada should take in just a small number of immigrants who are highly skilled and only if they are specifically needed - when they can’t find a Canadian to fill it. \nThe universities and bs colleges are making hand over fist while people from the third world, are using the studies to get easy access to our country and corporations love the cheap labour.

In Canada. Take a look a rental market. Who has all the rentals? Who bought all the real estate and don't work and haven't worked in this country ever!

We have the same issues in Australia. Maybe not as severe as Canada though.

As a Canadian I can honestly say I don't care. Immigration of any kind is not the cause or even a contributor to Canada's woes

You should see the marketing emails i get to immigrate to canada...

*why is anti-immigration sentiment on the rise in Canada and USA? (Fixed the title for you)

Canada is not against legal immigration! It's a lie.Agains't all the criminals, those who come with all their demandings for housing, food,medicine, monthly financial support and they don't want to assimilate.

Canada becoming Kanada, very understandable

Canada used to be a lovely country. But the public arrogantly decided to reject Christian values. \n\nNow the masses are reaping the consequences of their satanism. All while pretending they are the victim of their own decisions.

Hi Peter thank you, I sometime applied to Canada for tourist visa through an agent but I was denied. But I have learnt better from you

It is a mix of everything, IMO. Several other countries are also in the same situation (Canada is not the only country facing this). I think the big part is capitalism, which squeezes out everyone and reaches a junction where there is no balance.

If canada stopped immigration they will lose taxes.. Trudeau increaed government by 60% and added.a trilliong im debt practically..

Like this is retarded what if we did this to Canada. Wtf really

The final scene at the new Canadians rally is nice to see. But what you’re not seeing are the THOUSANDS of people who aren’t success stories. People who bring nothing to the party but still need a place to live. I’m fine with immigration, I think Canada is a better place for being diverse. But you can’t just keep the tap on when the glass is already full. We need to turn off the immigration spigot for a while, catch up to get our services and housing to a level that is workable, then look at turning it back on with a smarter outlook on the numbers to bring in.

Canada, Russia are a very big country. They should provide shelter for Asian people where the population is growing very fast like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Phillipines, Thailand, etc.

when average Indian and Chinese don't even want to come to Canada, that's really bad

Why is anti-immigration sentiment on the rise in ... x?\nx = Canada, Britain, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, Portugal, Greece, ...

Canada has a broken justice system and doing frauds every where. Canada should be removed from G7 countries.

Only in Canada and the UK are criminals more empowered than regular citizens.

canada should be ashamed of themselves. how to allow such a disgust is ashaming

The Canadian government’s poor planning and lack of infrastructure, allowing the immigrants to be used as a scapegoat is what’s directly promoting racism and xenophobia,that Reddit group’s lack of self awareness is eye opening. It will only get worse if it’s not called out. Until immigrants and permanent citizens recognize all of this is benefiting the rich up top Canada won’t improve.
