Great report!

They are not immigrants, they are just buying a insurance policy illegally of course. Those people never wanted to live in this country, their optimal goal is buying a Canadian passport (in case of need) without even visiting Canada.\nMost reported Chinese Canadian immigrants are like this, I knew few, they visited Cananda maybe twice in the last 10 years, or some max once a year (for a two weeks summer holiday). They just have money, and they heard from guys like above they can just buy some rights.

I can almost assure you he is back in the business along with hundreds if not thousands of crooked Immigration consultants doing the same thing! Just look up the name Mahmoud Reza Khavari ! He was the director of Iranian National as well as Central Bank ( treasury ) for the exact period he reported was living in Canada! After obtaining Canadian Citizenship fraudulently he embezzled $350Million Government money and fled Iran for good! He is the INTERPOL most wanted and currently living in a mansion in Toronto's Bridle Path! Canada is crawling with criminals like him!

Eye-opening report. Thank you CBC. We want more of this content.

Imagine if those ghost immigrants were some kind of a threat to the Canadian society. Nobody would have noticed it while there were so much harm was done - maybe not physical but intellectual and stuff. Bravo to the immigration office(r) that noticed the pattern and reported it.

This is a good reporting job, but the lack of severity of punishment by the government is notable: he made $10,000,000, but was fined $900,000 with 2 years in jail. If this really the only consequence he faced - we're asking for more problems of this kind.

the hongkong news reporter guy, probably from pre 1997 hongkong, lovely brits accent

Excellent reporting!

trudeau won't do anything but i'm glad to see you reporting against the globalist narrative

amazing reporting.

I've reported the national debt fraud to police many times, they just laugh, so I tell them they are working with the ones ruining our country, they are engaged in treasonous activities and crimes against humanity.

Good reporting.

Ontario is having a big homeless problem, among other provinces. Why don't ALLTHE HOMELESS CANADIANS, sneak across the border and then walk back and claim asylum. Someone can anonymously call RCMP to report a CARAVAN of what appear to be MIGRANTS headed up whatever road they will be on. Tell them you are without a country of your own, to depend on, (not a lie). They can all stay in hotels, NO MORE HOMELESS.

great report!

Reporter: What do you think of\n Islam\nMe: what do you think of cancer?

A well balanced report, something sadly missing in today's news. \n\nThat said, I do not see how Islam is of benefit to any western country. Wearing the burka or niqab is antithetical to our culture. I believe that in the 1990's, there was a small movement of Canadian women that wanted to go topless. That movement was also rejected by our culture. \n\nThere are at least 49 Muslim majority countries in the world where one can practice Islam if that is what is important to you. Canada should not become the 50 th.

He is wanted in Honduras by local police, why not report that too.

Shocked that leftist CNN is even reporting this.

I was arrested with extreme prejudice and ordered deported from Canada. The RCMP is a branch of the military, and did this. Only problem for them was the fact I was born in Canada. I am now a political asyli in the US, and it was the Canadian authorities own police reports that made my claim valid.

People want to blame this on liberals while not even shaming the president of Canada for not clarifying his statements.How long will we continue to falsely accuse an ideology that changed humanity for the better while not fixing the real problem,miscommunication from a politician?Not news reporters ,liberals,or conservatives or any other ideology that has created great societies.

Biased reporting .... Alienating Punjabi s from rest of the India .... Khalistani propaganda

What a joke City news..read the Koran and Hadiths , then go to a muslim majority country and just try living the Canadian lifestyle there. No really ...try it, we will courteously attend your funeral for trying. ISLAM is a dominate then subjugate ideology that uses taqiyya(lies to the non believer)to further the cause of Islam. Muslim women are put in the forefront and will lie non stop to gain favor. CityNews, this report was a heresy at best.

VICE is left - wing biased reporting. I hope no one takes this seriously. Stick to making videos of chefs getting high and having a good time. Leave the real reporting to professionals, seriously.

lmfao, they have loaded situations, then sit the white guy down with a black reporter, and try to shame the white guy. Programs like this are skewed data, and propaganda.

Is the one the reporter talked to for so long, does she have makeup on around her eyes? I thought that was a no-no.. I guess you just do the laws in your religion that you want to do and the ones that will hide you.. Where is the fem movement hiding under a head covering?

If only CNN still reported like this. Fuck islam, fuck mohamad fuck face.

catch that illegal and deport him. if i see him in the city i'll be sure to report him. he had alot of money therefore he wasn't in any trouble. just wants a jump ahead of everyone who are waiting to get here legally. he doesn't deserve to be favored. he can't even speak english for christ sakes.

And now the reports are coming in they are destroying the rooms they're in and harassing the hotel staff.

Wow! I am surprised Vice has made an unbiased report about immigrants in North America.

Hey Tucker the hotel managers have been complaining about all the damages being done by the refugees but our mainstream media will not report on it

Fox network. All bunch of scumbag reporters who will stand behind a scumbag president like Trump. Only person with credibility is Shepard Smith. Surprised Fox network hasn't fired him yet for telling the truth.

An American news reporter says Canada's Prime Minister is a buffoon..... why don't you look at your own white house before bringing canada into your shit hole of a mess

This is blatantly false reporting. Most immigration detainees are NOT in hotels, only vulnerable people including families. At least we have a modicum of decency here.

Reporter forgot to wear a pant

5000 reported in May this year (thats almost half a year) compared to over 35,000 the year before. So by May the year before it was close to 15,000+. Guess ice is doing a good job here in America by cutting Canada's migrant influx down by securing our own borders and shipping the ones that got in, back home. Now theres 3x less this year for Canada. XD

Okay, as a Canadian, I've been watching all sides of the stories. All of your points of view are heard, and particularly the past day's coverage rings true, in some senses. In others, not. \nAlways, people say this, and people say that, and the truth is somewhere in the middle.\nHowever, please explore this topic before digging down and making up your minds based on this interview. \nPlease do a smidgen of more research, hear more than this opinion and do a lot more listening? \nI know you all are going through a very difficult time.\nAs a Canadian, most of us are very comfortable with what our government is doing. \nWe are not afraid of 'others'. \nWe are not afraid of Americans.\nBut this reporting choice, and your choice to jump on, and believe this interview as true.....\nThat does give me pause for concern.

Hard to believe CNN reported this 5 years ago and didn't restrict the comment section.

These are the lies people are telling all of South America. The South American politicians are guilty of this also, because they want that money pouring in from the U.S and Canada. It sustains their regimes.\nI will keep stating this on every site I go to.\nFor years the U.S allowed this to happen and they fueled it. They turned a blind eye to it (Both parties) and then the Democrats (during Obama's admin) saw their way to flood the U.S with more of these card carrying socialists.\nThey started to disperse these families to states that nobody really cares about. Idaho, North Dakota to name a couple. They can turn these purple districts into Blue districts. They can start affecting the outcomes of local elections which funnel up to State Governorship and eventually Senators and Congressmen. It's the long play to turn America Socialist and it's been 20+ years and we are starting to see it in local elections.\nWhen they were trying to get the numbers of how many illegal Immigrants are in the U.S. the Democrats keep spewing numbers like less than 1 million. Well the numbers are in it's over 10 MILLION!\nWhen cases started popping up a couple of years ago about children being struck by strange diseases the news kept a very low profile. But in actuality it's happening more and more.\nHere is what you need to do. Go to your local schools to see what the makeup of the classes are if you see a cluster of South Americans there is your vector.\nhttps://www.cnn.com/2014/09/07/health/respiratory-virus-midwest/index.html\nhttps://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/mysterious-polio-illness-paralyzing-u-s-children-n658766\nIt's not a racist to point this out, these Countries have little to no healthcare for their children. The same situation happened to Soldiers who served in Iraq. They would get what they called the Iraqi funk.\nhttps://www.nap.edu/read/11765/chapter/6\nJust as Christopher Columbus brought over diseases from Europe and killed of the native Indians of the Caribbean Islands and latter to the Americas the South Americans are doing the same but it's not at Alarming levels, well at least the numbers are not high enough to warrant a spot on the evening news. By the time they report on it, it's too late.\nSocialists are rising up in the U.S. By the time the next US Presidential election comes up you will see more of these vermin infect the narrative in the U.S

Laws are laws, hermano. You are not exempt from the law, and you will be deported. This man obviously does not pay taxes, because he cannot legally report them. When you are deported tell your familia in Honduras not to come to North America.

Canadians trying their damnedest to get an American-style exposé report and failing miserably. There is nothing to see here really.

I think if you go to any stats at all on crime, the bias reported makes a lot of sense. Statistically minorities do steal more and commit more crime, it's a fact, Jack.. Dn't like this kind of report? Clean up your act.

The Cucked ‘reporters’ all sing the same traitorous song.

The way they presented it didn't seem convincing at all. The reporter saying there are very few of these men and the heads of the local mosques have nothing to do with this. You must be joking. Even if they are few what are you waiting for, them to increase? Ridiculous.

So Thankful we have Trump, Wow CNN actually reporting real news at one time, gheeezz what happened to them

I feel for Jose, yet I wonder why he is not angry with his own government, with his own country for making him feel it was impossible for him to live and work in his own country. Why can he not go back there? How is that system lacking and what can be done to change it so that people don’t feel forced to leave. I find it odd that no one ever reports on these South American governments - what are they doing so wrong that their own citizens are refugees from their own country. Why can’t we stop blaming and find a solution to this problem? Why is it framed that it is the United States or Canada’s fault for upholding immigration laws, their own countries insist upon them. it’s odd.

This news ? report was biased.

I'll lay it out for you: Me: typical middle of the road liberal oriented Canadian. Non white, immigrant (I wasnt born here) I worked in a Refugee housing for over 4 years in Ontario. Most were not war areas refugees (Yes I know there are other types of refugees). I only encountered few refugees from war areas. ONLY 1 person from Iraq, about 2 families were from Afghanistan, 1 couple from Pakistan(I doubt they were real refugees they spoke fluent English, maybe political refugee), and a most from African countries. Its too far for real refugees to get here. Its Easier for them to go to other countries nearby or Europe. MOST SEEM TO BE ECONOMIC REFUGEES. Most were coming from Africa. Some are coming from Latin America, which shouldn't be happening. Once they showed up at our doorstep and we processed them into the system, they were immediately in the same class as a Canadian resident homeless person if they were making a refugee claim. We get money to house and feed them (from the government), and they are given a stipend for basics from the government processed through the Social Assistance/ Welfare system (they get less than a resident/citizen I think.). They then have to get their case processed by the refugee board, and most seem to get in. I've only heard of few getting sent back. One person I know at our facility, was given a subsided social housing apartment after a year in our facility. So they went straight from a shelter to a government/city owned subsidized apartment. (Didn't seem like it was a issue for the housing worker...they didn't report it (if they were not the ones that helped the person to get it), they were white, the housed person was Latin. This refugee claimant, and then month or two new Canadian resident person was given an apartment in a prime area of the city, instead of the 1000's of Canadians, those who came before them, and born Canadian citizens on an extremely long waiting list. How this was allowed to happen I don't know. The person was probably sucking on someone's straw. I'm just trying to think the barriers these people have to go through to get a job here. We are far removed from the time of the 80's and 90's., and housing and jobs are so hard to get. Lol the "Canadian government asks them to repay the traveling cost to Canada if they are sent back"....I wonder how much the government recoups?.....more like 0 probably. What a bunch of crap. How do you demand someone to repay their flight cost when they get back to their country?

you should always start filming and reporting it to the police. \nalso, you have to follow them to their house at 4 am coming back from a party or whatever, and bash their skull in with a hammer.

What really hurts minorities is the lies they are forced to accept as governments cover themselves up with laws against fraud and discriminations. But there is nothing to stop people abusing their privileges even if they are a store security officer to harass certain ppl. The laws haven't caught up yet with such ppl but the same pervasive and ubiquitous cctv cameras and receipts could be used as long as the victims report to police.

I need to hear a dollar figure to trust what you report. Verify with data.
