Canada should put visa cap including immigration per country....follow the American policy. Its simply too many Indians that is changing the demographic balance by one ethnic group called Indian. And International student should not have full time work authorization, its directly hitting the location population employment opportunities.

If Trump and his bunch get elected in November here in the states I am going to explore relocating to Canada. I've always felt a kinship with Canada growing up right across the St. Clair river from them in Michigan.

Singapur is now way better than any city in Canada

Canada needs to put a pause on immigration. I don't have a job right now because i got laid off. 3 immigrant workers need to maintain a minimum of 30 hours for the LMIA for their permanent residents

I was born here in canada but my mom immigrated. Took her 20 years almost to get full citizenship . \nThe cap is needed . These past 5 years has been honestly out of control . \nI've personally worked jobs where international students knew exactly how to work the system . \nEven working directly with employers to bank hours so that they can go full-time during summer yet still get paid for the whole year as part time so the government doesn't see that they pass there maximum hours worked . \nThe access to credit aswell is super scary .

Basically what I’m getting here, is the reporter, asking what’s going to be done about the housing crisis. And Trudeau commenting about the long-term sustainability of immigration in the country completely dodging the question, rather, actually adding to the crisis by bringing even more immigration over to Canada. Classic politics.

Canada is massive...why nagging about immigration let them immigrants build there houses...?

It is not about the overall number, but the numbers of international students concentrated in certain areas that are overwhelming the infrastructure of those host communities. If there were a system in place that diversified their destination schools across Canada and better regulated those predatory fly-by-night institutions in the larger centres that outright lie to students to get their money, the problem would be solved.

My son turned his back on TO…Canada after 7 years, my youngest will do the same, with her Masters in hand…soon. As a returning expat, my husband n I have decided to not spend our retirement funds here anymore. It’s really heartbreaking to have tell your immigrant parents - their choices were great in the 70’s, but…

I am wondering why Canada people don't support a different political party instead; it clear shows Trudeau is incompetent & Liberal Party of Canada is totally corrupted. Canada's problems does not sound too complicated.

Canada's accepting too much of everyone. They need to close the doors. All of these newcomers are only exacerbating the existing housing shortage, driving up rental costs for everyone, and taxing our social and health care systems.

Canada is fast becoming a 3rd world country, its such a shame. I'm from an immigrant family, everyone is accepting of immigrants here, but the government clearly went into overdrive for reasons no one can comprehend, and ALL from one single country to boot. The students are just the tip of the iceberg.

When war starts we strongly believes that mighty china will target usa mighty china no.1 enemy?. And then Canada also??...\nI notice people there is racist???...\nFor me I would wait till mightychina

if you earn less money then you don't pay that much tax for health care. I've never paid over 15% of my income for income tax and because I earn so little I don't pay monthly health care premiums they are just free. The reason I earn so little is because I have a 3yo and no options for childcare when his dad is working so I can only work when his dad is not working. As a result I get the maximum canadian childcare benefit (CCB). Although the main reason I haven't left canada yet besides family, is the clean drinking water, relatively clean air (I live in a rural area) and low levels of environmental diseases (malaria, hep B, dengue, zika, cholera, parasites etc). I keep trying to find a country that can offer clean drinking water and clean environment with decent climate and soil for growing food, and decent health care and work opportunities. If anyone has any suggestions for countries like this to research I'd love to hear them.

Canadas population is being replaced ... look at our streets .

canada must is a must stop bringing Chines and Indian students or whatever,,,

3 years residency is quite reasonable requirement. US has 5 years , some countries 10! Some countries you have to be born there!Canada should make 5 years!

Even if you are for immigration... there is another issue with this... Canada already has one of the highest rates of post secondary education in it's own population (something like 40% now) and with immigrants coming through other economic categories. It needs low-skilled workers far more than it needs university graduates due to is massively low birth rate.

Canada in 2019 had 60,000 non permanent residents ( ie students and temp workers) 2023 614k .\nThey MUST shut this down immediately

I went to Conestoga college, and I wish your mon read my words. Canadians, should consider that international students are paying around 20k yearly to Canada Colleges institutions that are not offering better education than the one provided in their own countries for way less than 30k. Other developed countries, like Germany or Belgium offer the same programs to international students for around 8k yearly, but, the international students rather come to Canada which also offer an easier path to become PR. But then, they crash with the reality and they realize that even many Indians can't speak proper English to be competitive in a Canadian College or in a Canadian company. Unfortunately, Canadians educational institutions know that the English spoken by international students is not enough but, they send them an acceptance letter from the institution so they can come and study in Canada. So, the real problem are the Canadian public colleges and Universities accepting people with a poor English level from overseas. Canada is a great place to be but, this kind of actions make their productivity poor which is in reality the problem behind the bad economy development when compare with similar developed countries. So, your mon should first blame its own country policies and educational institutions rather than international students for that kind of behaviors when they are students. Also, you should put your self in their shoes, learn German and go to Germany and see how easy is to manage to get a waitress job only in German in a city like Cologne. And then remember that this international students are bringing 20k from their countries economy to Canada each one yearly. Know, think how many Canadians bring 20k yearly to India or Nepal... Pues bueno como dice el video en Canada son aproximadamente 22 billones de dolares que llegan de esos estudiantes internacionales que hacen trampa en sus examenes, ahora acaso los canadienses no hacen trampa en sus examenes o al aceptar personas con bajo nivel de ingles en sus instituciones educativas?

I find it hard to believe that Canadas schools are so good that students line up to attend. Sounds like a money making scheme. The degrees and diplomas aren’t worth the paper they are written on.

You are absolutely right dear. I've lived in Canada since November 1968, moving from England where I consider trying to live there to be even worst than Canada. I am 82 years old now, having survived through a number of hard times here. However when I have finally paid off my mortgage, I'm going to have a little money to travel for three or four months every year, but I have to stay in Canada for at least 183 days each year to continue receiving my pension.

So, not a genocide actually! Also probably safer for you as Muslims then for Jewish people in Canada right now!

All by design, the collapse is coming. Canada was a trial and the people complied so much more than they ever dreamed of. canada’s compliance has become humanities downfall.

justin and the liberal government has changed Canada so much for the worst in the last 8 years. It has seriously gone down. infrastructure breaking down, tent cities all over the place, many closed businesses, Increased killings and shootings, cost of living, rent skyrocketing, inflation in this country Carbon TAX that just utterly kills you, while not knowing what they do with that money. Canada / Toronto is a dumpster right now.

Canadian here, from Vancouver. This is 100% true. Why do we accept so many immigrants? Because we have to. We can't afford to have our own kids. It's too expensive. As my kids are finishing their post secondary education, I'm going to suggest taking their edu and leaving Canada for the USA - higher wages, more affordable cost of living. It's actually simple math.

My impression of Canada still remains at Anne of green gables

Mixed feelings. Drag queens and woke propaganda in Canada will have to stop. But it will be great to see that Canada remains a predominantly Christian country

I have moved out of Canada fee months ago. Im glad i did. Currently in pakistan, hoping to get a decent job and move to saudia.

Please leave where you're unhappy. Don't expect Canada to take you back.

Fuck Canada!!!!!!!

I agree wholeheartedly with you about what is happening in Canada and the state it is in and the deteriorating trajectory of where it is going. My husband and I have had this conversation as well and yet we stay for family that is here. Blessings to you and your girls on your new journey.

Canada has really gone downhill in the last few years. I got here on 2017 and it was an entirely different country. I was diagnosed with cancer that year and was cancer free by 2018 thanks to Canada's health care system. If that happened in 2023 I don't think I would have made it to 2024.

Canada is canada you want to live here this is how we live.

why not going somewhere near Palestine to help them? definitely Canada doesn't support your thoughts and should not. cheers

She forgot racism against Asians and Muslims, and Indians. CANADA brain drain. DOESN'T want to say cause she might get secret repercussions like the people whose bank accounts were frozen from the trucker protest in Ottawa.

What a joke ,you can't open an account in any country on visit visa but You can buy Property of millions in Canada with out any Status, foreign investors dis balance the cost of living with the help of real estate mafia.

Did you give up your PR when you left? Or are you coming back to Canada? ?

As an Indian Living in America. We Indian, make the country we live in as our Home. I mean Home.\nI support your decision to leave Canada. I hope all Mooslims do the same and only stick to izlamic countries. Where you can freely practice your faith. And there will no fighting in rest of the world. God Bless Us All.

Hi Brother / Sister ( SALEH's Family ) Well, your decision to leave Canada is good & courageous ... specially for the sake of your children. Your story is absolutely true , because you are not alone to face this facts. Many other families also are preparing / or are already left this country for some reasons as yours.....But now my very QUESTION to you , may looks quite embarasing & difficult ....Where are you going to find really a GOOD place ( a Paradise Country ) to live a happy life ? .... well by now, in this year 2024, there are WARs everywhere. There are MAD / CRAZY people everywhere. Our planet Earth is full of EVILS .... Well, I mean , You & me / everybody are living in the same boat ....sailing on a very BAD sea. The Evil Spirits are now present in almost all societies ( The Corrupt Governments / bad Politicians / bad Educations / attacking Churches or bad Health care system . No security & dangerous people everywhere) etc .....By now, the only place, You can find a little happiness to live a Safe & peaceful life, is in CHINA . Bye & God bless you all .....( John NG )

Canada is Christian …, get lost Islam

You cant expect to live in a nation that is not islamic to hear call to prayer 5 times a day....if thats what you desire then you would need to move to an islamic nation and allow Canadá to be canada and no be converted to islam

Canada is getting more like India ?. The country is moving backward.

As a proud Canadian, I am delighted to see you embark on a journey to pursue your dreams. Wishing you the best of luck in any democratic Islamic country you choose to move to, where you can enjoy the freedom of speech and equal rights. Meanwhile, here in Canada, we remain committed to instilling values of tolerance and acceptance in our schools, addressing economic challenges such as inflation, and collectively working to propel this beautiful country forward.

I have a feeling they'll return to Canada after living in a majority Muslim country!

Please don’t come to the US! We don’t have an Islamic environment either. Canada is secular, if you are Muslim fine, practice in private.

Trudeau is the worst thing ever happened to Canada. Canada was on a far far better economic path under Harper, but you know, he said some things a few people didn't like. Anyways, farewell, so long, bye bye, good luck.

Will apply for benefits and get them in future or come back for health care. All you need is a cdn.address andfamily members will assist if living in canada.

Hi Guys, \nWe need more Muslims like you in Canada not fewer! I don't like what is happening in Canada any more than you do but I intend to stay and fight for the country I love. If you do leave, I wish you all the best luck and pleasant and uneventful life.

I appreciate the way you present the reality. One way to cope with salaries and taxes is to open you own enterprise. This is the canadian way of growing fron a wealth point of view. As a person leaving from a salary, it is still possible to grow depending on your skills. But beggining your own business to exploit your skills will make you 'fly' to the next level, which is the actual way of growing. It took me a lot of years to realice this. Just think about it, provinces allow medecins to incorporate what means that they will pay less taxes and become richer sooner. This is just my thought, other people may think in a different way, I just try to give positive ideas.\n\nSecondly, Canada is still a country to live in a bit better than other countries considering many things happening around the world. Crime and economics is worst everywhere also. But, it all depends on what criteria counts for you. About society, it's not easy to make real friends except other inmigrants that need it too. Climate is not attractive specially for older people. Etc.\n\nHope you find my comments interesting and that you find your place soon.
