Toxicity Scores & Embeddings

Mexican and Canadian visitors entering on a B2 visitor visa and staying longer than 30 days or traveling beyond 25 miles must apply for an I-94. Biometrics and photo is taken. It's been this way for many years. Really nothing really new here. Just enforcing the law that has been in place since 1996. Known as the 96 Act of the INA. I am a retired INS Inspector and spent 17 years on the San Diego/Tijuana land border crossing. I put my entry stamp on thousands of I-94's.

These immigrants were scheduled to leave anyway. They were well aware of it. So, it is not based on new immigration rules. The government tried to force too many people into the country, causing a spike in housing prices and many other problems. This then affected every Canadian. A lot are becoming even poorer. It is one of the reasons they had more tent cities and 2 million people going to food banks along with 2/3 of Canadians with only 500.00 a month after all monthly bills were paid. That's 2/3 of Canadians. The Convoy had released these figures over a year ago at CPAC. Proving that Canada is in a huge mess economically because of these Liberal policies. @minimaxmiaandme.4971 - I don't hide behind a fake name. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the convoy or did you forget? The Liberals violated Canadians' Constitutional Rights to Protest. Which proves they are more credible than the Liberals. Now be man enough to show your real identity.

Canada used and earned money from international students and put so many rules them to leave. Canada doesn't want educated ppl they want refugees to run their country. Those who doesn't even have any language Proficiency. This country is run by headless ppl. They have to enrol int. Students from other countries not only India. Iran , Sudan they give easy work permit and PR. But those who did Masters studies no points.

Many Canadians have pulled their RVs out of northern New York and are finding spots in Ontario instead. Sad that it will affect decent American businesses but there will be many unexpected consequences to the erratic behaviour of the Trumpet.

Good, there are too many from India and China here. Recently, I have seen some Chinese leaving from my own neighbour. This is a good thing, they come over here, don't speak English, don't work and use our resources that we have paid for all of our working lives. Our local college which used to pay for English lessons for Newcomers to Canada has now cancelled the program.

How many Canadians can even afford to go to the States? I can barely afford to go to work.

yeah...not for a while. So many other cool places around the world to see and without the hassle

I'll believe it when I see it! The Liberals won't, haven't released the immigration numbers so this could be just another Liberal, Carney fabrication. Why did the gov't allow so many people in the first place: to receive votes! That is the only reason!

Many other countries make Canadians and others give fingerprints and pictures on arrival and check in on a regular basis with address with proof of residence in county. Nothing new.

GOD I hope so!!! Too many who offer nothing but a burden on the tax payer. GO HOME!!!!

If you get detained in a detention center, too bad so sad. You know the risk but yet many are on the news outraged. As if they didn’t know it was always the possibility

Yup we just don't go there anymore as many others there is whole world out there not just the USA and we not buying anything USA or goods or services period and I live in Canada so long USA

As many are currently finding out in the US, “temporary” means “temporary”, not “permanent”. Was this problem due to language translations, or what?

It's sobering to realize that many who have studied, worked, and built lives in Canada may now be left in limbo. The question isn't just about policy—it’s about identity, belonging, and the kind of future Canada envisions for itself. Can a nation remain strong while turning away those who have already contributed to its strength?

I am supportive of immigration, but I believe there should be a cap of no more than 1-2.5% annually. A significant number of migrants moving to Canada from the same region or country could cause issues, as this can lead to the formation of "mini-bubble" societies within Canada. These groups may sometimes become the dominant demographic and undermine the existing communities that have contributed to building Canada for decades. We cannot expect new immigrants to seamlessly merge into Canadian society. This is a major oversight by Canada’s Immigration Department. Digital applications from foreign nations may play a role in this phenomenon. There should also be regulations concerning how many new immigrants can be brought in by family members. For instance, one new citizen can legally bring both of their parents and their spouse, which is fair. However, there have been cases where this process is repeated multiple times within ten years, leading to a 1:15 ratio, where one person can bring in six to eight relatives. If there is a labor shortage in essential fields, Canada can offer long-term residency to those who continue to work in those sectors, such as caretakers. However, the pathway to citizenship could be lengthened or require a higher standard. For instance, the requirements could extend from X years of living in Canada to X+5 years, as well as passing a basic Canadian citizenship test, either written or verbal. While an increase of five years may seem unfair or lengthy, it is essential. A newborn child from a Canadian family requires 18 years to gain voting rights in elections, whereas new immigrants—especially those who come for study for four to six years—can potentially gain both citizenship and voting rights sooner if they meet the previous administration's standard. Children under the age of 18 can gain citizenship in as little as X-4 years, regardless of their full integration into Canadian society. This loophole is sometimes abused and provides preferential treatment that favors this process over existing Canadian. In my opinion, it would be fairer to calculate the duration of "living in Canada" based on the number of years they have paid "income taxes" in Canada. This is important because many individuals with multiple passports pay taxes elsewhere while benefiting from Canadian healthcare and other services. The investment in home buying as a pathway to citizenship has contributed to the housing crisis, resulting in numerous empty homes in various regions. While it may offer short-term economic benefits that some politicians favor, it is detrimental to Canada as a whole. If buying a house is the only requirement for citizenship, wouldn't a large portion of the global population be eligible for U.S. citizenship just by investing in U.S. businesses or stocks? This perspective may seem illogical when looking at it from outside the box. Apologies for being a bit wordy; I had much more to say. Nonetheless, I also support temporary residency for up to 6-9 months for those who have been evacuated due to war, natural disasters, or similar circumstances. Special exceptions can be granted for families with members working in critical fields that merit such considerations (high-end industry).
