This needs to be cleaned up. Put the money in to get through the claim backlog and if someone is ruled inadmissible, cut them off and deport them. Why the heck is it taking 8 years to get a known criminal deported! Stop just handing out our hard earned cash.

Canadians have to realize that we will need much stronger Government which will say NO to all of these new migrants (not immigrants) who are taking jobs, culture, raising their idols, praying in the street and making havoc to other people. They are acting like that are entitled to do that just because they are allowed to ! I am immigrant too and I didn't came here to watch all these people how change and make it dirty more and more every day. They just bringing same shit where they are running from ?

Why do Canadians continue to vote for the same liberal disastrous government? We needed a change many years ago, but Canadians are deaf, dumb and blind! Our government is actively working 'against' citizens and not 'for' citizens. They have an agenda to replace citizens with these new immigrants who will work for much lower wages. It is all about giving jobs to migrants and for the elite to get richer.
Criticizes government immigration policy as intentional wage suppression and job displacement, calls for voting change, and frames immigration as serving elite interests over citizens.

The problem is, Canadian govt called too many..and that's all for money.
Coming as a student needs lifetime savings. For anyone who doesn't know, it take upwards of $50k dollar to come to Canada as a student
And that's for those diploma mill colleges.
And students need an Extra 20k , often more to pay the remaining fee for next year, which means they have to work no matter what.
This is why you see Indians working everywhere.
Anyone saying there are too many Indians, well its because you are too greedy for that money
Critiques government immigration policy and financial requirements while explaining economic motivations behind visible immigrant populations.
