sure it’s an economic asset to India, but not canada. most of the money they make goes back to their home country. Not even beginning to mention how many jobs are being stripped away from young Canadians that are needing a first job like tim hortons or any of the sort. it’s ridiculous the job market in canada is destroyed because of this immigration mess
Argues immigration harms Canadian economy by draining money abroad and displacing young Canadian workers from entry-level jobs.

My town got the invasion in the past couple of years, 90% of my business is now done with Indians. Tim's, fast food, deliveries, Walmart, CDN Tire, etc. Young people can't get a start in the job market because the govt subsidizes their wages with our taxes.

I'd buy that guy on the bike a case of beer. It's so sad seeing guys like him who are so aware, who are obviously capable, having to live such poor lives. But this is Canada, where two people making the average income will never own a home and spend more than half their income on basics. That guy probably makes 50k a year. But is riding a bicycle in winter.
Primary focus is on economic hardship in Canada (housing costs, wages, cost of living) with empathy toward a struggling immigrant worker.

TBF most of them are good people, and want a better life. I have no quarrels against that but I think maybe 5 figures a year is lots, not this 800k+. That being said, most of them here are relatively upper middle class since its not cheap to emigrate from India.

I know what you're thinking 😁 See for the last couple centuries industrialized nations all over the world have been importing people like potatoes. And there is a very good reason for that. See over the last couple hundred years you have made many advances in technology medicine and law enforcement. Your people however aren't having fifteen children anymore and your population is therefore receding. You then have to import people i.e. drain all the brains from around the world. Immigrants are also more eager to come if things back home aren't good especially when the world is bombing your pants off. Also things like rampant corruption that make it extremely difficult to live an honest life. They're also having children upon children because technology doesn't yet exist and so god told them to. 🦫 We are finite beings in an infinite universe. Also, you cannot stop immigration.
Extended explanation of immigration necessity based on demographic decline and economic labor needs, comparing industrialized nations' strategies.
