Toxicity Scores & Embeddings

I immigrated to Canada in 2020 during peak COVID. I lost my job working in the Middle East and I had my PR so it made sense moving to Canada for good. I’m a chemical engineer who worked in oil and gas for about 10 years in the Middle East. Once I landed in Canada, I went to work in Amazon Fullfillment Centre the week after I completed my quarantine. It was hard labor working for $16 per hour in Toronto. I worked for 10 months while working on my qualifications and engineering license. After that I was hired by an oil and gas contracting company and worked as a Trainee engineer after which I was promoted to Senior engineer in a year after I received my engineering license. I moved 4 cities in 4 years for my job. Now I am settled, own a home, got married to my long time girl friend and work at an Oil and Gas company which pays well. What I learnt through my experience is that Canada is a land of opportunities and people respect you for the work you do whatever it may be and do not judge you, all that we will have to do is work hard and improve on your skills. Integrate with the society, donate and volunteer. That’s how new immigrants can integrate. If you aren’t open minded and want to stay as you stayed in your country then you will not develop and it will hinder yours and the country’s progress.

Canada is done There is NO going back I would say just give up now and accept the situation. Also canada won’t be canada in next few years it will be PANADA

This is totally biased piece, typical of CBC. The last statscan review of refugee claimants had 90% on social assistance after the first year and 50% on welfare after 5 years. Using the Vietnamese boat people as an example is plain wrong as it was a different time and demographic.

How about we close the borders for the next 10 years??

I'm sad that so many people are going through so much pain, according to the polls this is what you asked for you all saw what the liberals did in the past so why would you give them 4 more years.

I went to Canada on holiday about 4 years ago and i definitely noticed this but i would argue that it makes the place feel culturally diverse and there were alot of south east asians aswell especially in Toronto

We the Canadian were known to be polite and and helped each other begins an immigrant myself i feel stuck in the middle of this because we were respected in the 70's 80's 90' 20s even 2010 every thing was great but the last 10_ 15 years things have gone down the drain.

Oh yes, FINALLY. Ive been complaining about this for like 10 years

All that we be left of Canada 10-15 years from now is Quebec and the Atlantic provinces.

I was born in Canada, But Our Family migrated to the USA when I was 2 years old in 1976 we adapted to the USA culture. I grew up on US values. US laws, US living. Our Family moved back in Canada in 1997 to Nova Scotia. We then adapted back to the Canadian culture. Mother and Father taught us to always support the country you live in. Adapt to it's culture and rules. I live in Quebec now in Montreal been here since 2018. I'm always learning french here and there but speak mostly english. But I support the french language. Some days on the weekend though downtown when I see all the immigrants praying in the streets I am starting to miss the USA though. But I do not process an Green Card anymore.

They need a moritorium for 5 years. These numbers are just a drop in the bucket

$420 a year when everything is more than double 😂😂😂

This feels 6-8 years too late, You could even argue it as far back as 2010. We should've never kept our numbers at such high of a % of our population, it should've always been focused industries only such as agriculture. Instead our business model is basically : Cheap Labour via Worker Visas, Housing Market due to quick and massive population boost and Student Visas making them pay 3.5x more than regular students that encourages post-secondary schools to choose international over domestic which may also have long-term consequences as we see many immigrants go back to their home or take their degree to a higher paying nation.

How can a country transform like that in a matter of a few years 😮

Changed when? Its been "Bram-ledish" for 40 years... like "Wop-saga" has been Wasaga Beach for 40 years.

TFWP, LMIA all permits stop immediately four five years, Canadian so many they have no job

Let's be clear, we added 3M people in 2 years or 3.8% per year. Too much, too fast. No one can build housing, hospitals, schools for that level of growth. We had the 4th fastest growing population in the world, beating out Developing Countries in Africa. We will go back to an immigration rate of 0.8%, maybe 1% at the highest. We will still have the highest rate in the developed world.

Stop saying it’s just kids that can’t get jobs! I am middle aged and work 20+ years in corporate tech and I can’t get a job for over 1.5 yeas

Lets talk about the homeless demographics!!!! And the expolsion of tbe number of CANADIANS LIVING HOMELESS IN THE LAST 5 YEARS

Sad. Canada has changed over the last 20 years….

I had a work accident and tore my rotator cuff. I had to wait a year and a half. For mri and months after that. The surgeons stated the infraspinitous ligament was still half torn still. All that time later. It required another surgery 8 months later. I now have some relief in that arm. Decade later But I'm in the similar situation right now other shoulder. Those wait times were bad and it's only gotten worse since

Im sure the first nations and n.ative Canadians felt exactly the same way 500 years ago 😂😅😅

No healthcare for non Canadians, new citizens should pay minimum 5 years in taxes before benefiting from Universal healthcare and subsidized university.

11 years of open border policies by the liberal regime

This is a multifaceted problem for us. Firstly we keep emigrating people in, to deal with a declining population, instead of addressing the issues directly resulting in declining population, like the housing problem, cost of living, under paying jobs, and astronomical Post secondary prices to get basic diplomas I know for a fact that 90's babies will be the last generation to have more then one child. Another issue is the recruitment centers in India, funded by Canadian corporations looking for cheap labor, promising the world to struggling Indians only to back out of every promise they made, and put the burden on the government and Canadians. This plus a lack of population control in India, is set that to have Indians to be over 25% of the global population in the next 50 years.
