Canada needs to be much more vigilant in who gets into this country, the legal immigration process is not robust enough and it is too easy to remain illegally. We don’t want to become a harbour for criminal gangs or scammers!

It's pretty obvious that part of the pushback is because the country of origin became completely slanted. There was a time when there was a lot of Chinese immigration, and while you would have wanted way less, at least they know how to follow the rules and show signs of gratitude for being allowed in. The mass influx of Jeets is a totally different animal. Natural scammers, ungrateful and much more trouble than they are worth.

Brampton has been Brown Town since the 90s and nothing wrong with that. Same thing happend in Surrey in BC. The mass immigration of Indians lately to these areas is because that's where their beachhead is so to speak. The problem is the low quality of immigrants. For some reason the new influx are like the gypsies of the Indian people. They are scammers and cheaters. Other Indians don't want them around either. Look at the politicians and the government administrators, the college deans that had 9/1 Indian to Canadians. They aren't held accountable. They got promotions.

They have whole continents and ethnic nations for themselves. Now, we have little, mere, scant slivers of erable land while the rest of the world's nations still have plenty of land, except for those whom have already overpopulated themselves. While actual canadians have no opportunities and means to make products and services and compete in the marketplace for our people. Nobody seems to give a care about french and british isles canadians who built this country. Most of everyone else just moved in and out of those many just came for the government benefits and perks, and also the fact they could move their whole family and acquaintances. Let's be honest. A lot of people born here are descendants of scammers and grifters of the canadian system in some way. At this point, I think we should criticize all the various groups that have come here en masse. Most of the MPs have no spine. You can still have a liberal policy and still end immigration. It's the elephant in the room. End immigration and subsequent benefits and family unification policies.

lol i fly about monthly from YVR, as soon as you exit the plane and walk into the airport it feels like india, its gotta stop 90 percent of them are scammers and just need to go, but m0r0ns elected the liberals again, and well if you check the numbers so far on the immigration website, they are already set for another record year, they are not lowering the numbers its all gas lighting.

This makes Iselin NJ jealous. Though unlike Somalis, at least the Indians work...the scammers generally stay in India. But still, Canada is losing its culture. Only liberal Western nations allow this unchecked immigration.

It’s because some immigration consultants sell the PR. It’s becoming a scam. Canadians don’t even get jobs. Young people don’t even get jobs. And Canada now is has lost its integrity as a country. It’s infested with drug cartels like America, infested with scammers, terrorists war mongerers, car nappers etc, etc, Canada is not the same anymore. Just imagine the government is already taken by other ideologies. The death of the freedom of Canadian soldiers in the wars are already in vain. The morals, integrity, honesty and due diligence. History of Canada should be inculcated in schools. So children of the country will know how Canada became as Canada. It is the freedom to live in peace in honesty in diligence in integrity. For the unit of a society starts from a family. If all of these is not practice, Canada as a country Will be gone. If a country don’t take control of these things, the history of Canada is totally gone.

To be here as a citizen today, I had to pay CAD$35.000 for a two years program in Toronto. But to get the study visa I had to prove a lot of things, including money, proof that I had paid the college (at least 1st year), English, a Bachelor degree (education), a clear criminal history, and what attach me to my country. I had to study hard, and only after graduation I could have 3y work permit. By working in Canada I could get more point to become a permanent resident. After 2y having my PR, I could get the citizenship, but I had to prove I pay taxes, clear criminal history, and other things that show I would be a good citizen. So, I worked (and still work) hard, I am currently in two jobs and at school taking my masters, I respect the laws, I respect the culture (I never tried to impose mine), and I pay over CAD$10.000 in taxes per year on my income. That said, I feel as a slap on my face when fraudulent and dishonest people are able to be here cheating the system in any way. Some people may say I am an immigrant against immigration. NO, I am in favor of people taking the right path to immigrate, and make real contributions for this country, not coming to be scammers and criminals.

fkn immigrants, get them out of our country fraud, scammers who try calling our Seniors to scam their pensions and anything else they can get their hands on, Get them the fuck out of Canada. i've gotten 5 phone calls in the last week from scammers in India and other countries who get called out and hang up right away.

As an immigrant, I support deporting immigration scammers

Immigrants are scammers most of them

canadians and her multicultural ways simply can not compete against india, africa, south asia and various latin american countries because of 1 thing - birth rates. and when i say the canadian way and what 'used' to be a balanced multicultural way of life - is now being completely replaced by, majority led, india and a select handful of a few other nations - philippines, nigeria, bangladesh and some middle eastern nations. most of these nations - minus the philippines - have very different values and laws from the west. gender inequality, caste systems and not to mention religious / secular conflicts. racism is also incredible in those nations - again, minus the philippines. the only reason i include the philippines on this list as well is because their numbers are also very high in terms of the recent immigration scams but still not as high as india - who by large is the biggest scammer by a mile. these nations export canadian capital to their home nations and recycle the cash and bring in more of their own people. it is blatant soft power take over of canada without firing a single shot. canadians need to wake up and bring back balanced immigration. i will never accept sharia law, caste systems of gender inequality in canada but it is already here and their population is hundreds to thousands of times more than canada and they are already establishing incredibly strong roots here.

Who woulda thought by allowing immigration from the land of the scammer might provide you with....some scammers? Derp

They came on fraudulent student visas, with lies, those who had legal student visas, perfectly knew that there are steps towards immigration. Those who had fake visas, also perfectly knew the fact and pretended to be innocent with lies. Instead of following regulations, they started rioting in city squares, in city parks, making noise, throwing garbage. "Halt on Deportations: In response to the scandal, the Canadian government paused the deportation of the implicated students to investigate the situation further and consider alternative solutions.  Review of Cases:A process was put in place to review the cases of the affected students, particularly those who were victims of the fraud.  Fake Admissions:The students obtained their Canadian visas through a fraudulent agent who provided fake admission offers from Humber College, leading to their entry into the country.  Loss of Status:Upon discovering the fake letters, the students were deemed to have lost their study permit status, making them subject to deportation by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).  Political Pressure:The New Democratic Party (NDP) in Canada called on the government to not deport these students, highlighting their exploitation and the circumstances under which they were brought to Canada.  Crackdown on Scammers:The government and authorities also began cracking down on the agents and fraudulent institutions that facilitated this scam, as the students were often unaware of the forged nature of their documents, according to the Canadian Federation of Students.  Advocacy for Students:Organizations and Members of Parliament (MPs) called on the government to show leniency towards the students, highlighting their victim status and advocating for waivers of deportation.

I have only one question.. why is the government allowing them into the country ? What is the reason and who is it benefiting??? As I commented before , my parents came to Canada in 1966 I was just a baby , Canada had endless jobs in manufacturing, and especially in the construction sector , I will say that immigrants back then , Italians , and Portuguese really built this country , the men and women worked sometimes two jobs , no hand out from the government , no sick days , Canada was beautiful growing up , .. that’s how I remember it , other immigrants followed , from Poland , and then the Indians started to come in by the 80”s .. fast forward to now , I’m embarrassed of our country , it’s disgraceful and disgusting, the transition from back then to now , I feel like I’m living in India , dirty , scammers , gangs , thief’s , murders , ignorant , entitlement; disrespectful etc .. facts , one thing that I can’t wrap my head around is the language barrier , why are these people working in customer service ? Why are they dealing with the public ??? Why are they in the health care industry, nurses , doctors etc , when they can’t speak the language???? Why are they accepted in these highly skilled positions? Just because you have the skill ? Isn’t knowing the language and being able to communicate a requirement regardless what job you have ? Why is the government allowing them in this country and then paying for them to have all these resources available to them ? Why ?? We need to start helping the people that have contributed to this country , that paid taxes and their dues FIRST … we do not have enough affordable housing , jobs , hospitals ,etc .Canada has falling , they are a financial strain on this country , it needs to STOP.. this isn’t the 60”s anymore Canada is to the max , no opportunity here anymore , send them back !

Misleading title. We don’t have a problem with immigration. We have a problem with a hoard of illegals and visa scammers flooding our country.

Canadians are not against immigrants; we are just against the parasite, scammer and stinky kind.

Immigration Disrespect, Fraud, Crime, Tax Handouts, Scammers. Sexual Assault, Protest, Voter Fraud, Fake ID ect ect.

Recent Indians, in the last 10 years, are disrespectful and not even attending school or school visas. Some estimates 50,000 never even enrolled. That's fraud. Canadians are sick of the scammers, people living 20 in a house, the garbage, the illegal truck drivers, the filth, and the blatant disrespect for Canadian values. Go home and leave. Service workers are among the most arrogant and can barely speak English. Why are they here? They are not good candidates for immigration to Canada.

Immigration officer says no longer students from one country India. It is just a scam for pr and bring family. My coworkers sister in law has 3 degrees came here to bring husband to work here. Now taking a masters. Rich nepo babies buying their wat here. No sympathy from Canadians. India was has call center set up to scam seniors. We owe them nothing. Tbey act entitled brats no othe countries act this way. Only scammers from India

You’re wrong. We’re not talking in “too many immigrants” 90% for 9 years are migrants from India ??. India India India ?? that’s who all us other Canadians are forced to live with. At least 3 million of the 7 million Indians are frauds and scammers. This is what RUINED Canada. Millions of Indians, uneducated, unskilled, dirty backwards people. Now we have 3 Indian festivals in Toronto, 2 Hindu parades on Yonge street, Diwali etc. This isn’t Canada this is Hindu Sikh India ??

Lots of immigrants n IS were scammers carjackers.criminals

Well done to these nations for the rejections of those who do not deserve the visas. Indians should have a hard look at the scams they do to get these visas. Ofcourse some may be truly deserving.But immigration is there for a purpose to keep these bloody scammers out.

Many people now days have a negative view of Indian immigrants. USA is flooded with Indian scammers. Many complain about behavioral issues. So, the reputation is not exactly great. I've seen more and more US and Canadians pushing back.

Anyone who has a slightly better option is leaving... low quality immigrants and fake asylum seekers, horrible immigration policies allowing scammers get their way, horrible liberal policies turned Canada into a tax heavy, low income, impossible-to-own-anything country just like the UK ans Australia. US, however, is way smarter than Canada by putting strict quotas for certain countries. It's too late for Canada. Damage is done.

Indian took advantage of our immigration law. Remember. Indians are good scammers in many things. They even scam their own people.

NOT ENOUGH, WE NEED MASS DEPORTATIONS AND MASS REVOKING OF CITIZENSHIPS, CANADA NEEDS TO REMOVE EVERY SINGLE IMMIGRANT EVERY SINGLE SCAMMER\nFRAUD CRIMINAL AND TERRORIST MUST BE REMOVED FROM CANADIAN SOIL PERIOD

I’m glad… I’m from India… ok now there’s already so many scammers living inside Canada with PR and citizenship what about them…. My neighbour went to Canada in PR registering fake company… n getting fake experience certificates… there r so many Indian ppl who r loyal n trustworthy but u close doors for them… through company ppl come there with no efforts they claim 50 points n get score over 500… what about the students who really worked hard n been loyal n honest…. Ur immigration doesn’t make sense at all….

There are a lot of scammers around the world. It is in your duty to identify them and never fall as prey. It's not Canada's fault that you are getting deported for false information. Scammers are getting better every time. It is your duty to do your own research so you won't get involved into this mess. Yes Canada immigration also needs to screen the application very carefully so this type of nonsense will not come to pass. If you fall prey to scammers that is your own fault for not doing the right thing or even following the right process. You guys like it easy then Canada will make it also easy for you. DEPORTATION. I am an immigrant myself and we followed every single steps to become an offcial canadian citizen. It took me years to become a citizen. And I am not just talking about 3 or 4 years later, but 10 years later coming from a skilled worker.

CANADA ALSO NEEDS MASS DEPORTATIONS AND MASS REVOKING OF CITIZENSHIPS FOR ALL IMMIGRANTS INCLUDING THEIR FAMILIES, NOT ONE FRAUD SCAMMER CRIMINAL OR TERRORISTS LEFT BEHIND PERIOD , CANADA WAS NOT LIKE THIS BEFORE TRUDEAU AND THE LIBERALS OR NDP

I hope Conservatives can adjust the number closed to Zero immigration. We don’t need more Indian Scammers.

The majority of these immigrants have no skills other than being excellent con artists and scammers.

Most of the new immigrants are scammers, they do not even have ielts, Canada needs to deport everyone and have stricter immigration laws, I am an Indian and I am saying this, you cannot differentiate between an Indian Pakistani and a bangladeshi

I agree with this gentalman 200 percent. he is absoulety correct \nHe knows what he talking about international students took advantage of Canadian goverment weak immigration policies.\nThese international students use study excuse to get PR and Canadian Immigration after complete their study these international students have no intention to go back their country.\nThey are scammers.\n99.9 percent never go back where they came from,\nThey really make fool Canadian goverment.\nThey really were interested took part in study their only goal was to get CANADIAN PR and Immigration

Really !!!hey if you were scammed by the scammer immigration agent in your country that is your problem !!! The country and people who were born and educated here have problem too in regards to jobs and housing !!! YOUR PROBLEM IS YOURS TO SOLVED NOT THE COUNTRY THAT YOU ARE VISITING!!! YOU COME WITH FAKE STUDENT VISA WITH THE INTENTION FOR PERMANENT RESIDENCE AND ON TOP OF THAT YOU EVEN BRING SOMEBODY WITH YOU !!!! YOU CAN GO HOME !!! YOUR VISA IS DONE !!!! GO BACK HOME !!!

Indians are literally everywhere on the planet atp. But the problem is most are scammers and disrespectful asf that they think it's ok to act the same way they behave in india. Has a brown person if somebody called me indian i feel so insulted cuz of the reputation they have. They gotta ban indians from immigrating to other countries and especially bringing their entire generation with them to that country

Canada has seen an increase in scammers since many Indian people have immigrated to the Canada.

Scammers and tricksters. This is what Trudeau is letting into Canada now. We used to have strict standards when it came to immigration.

Indian people are known for being the biggest scammers in the whole world Immigration scams are very real

They don't want scammers and stinky immigrants.

INVESTIGATE ALL THE PUNJABI IMMIGRATION OFFICERS, YOU WILL SEE THEY ALL LIE AND LIVE OF DIRTY MONEY, HOPW ELSE DO YOU THINK THEY AFFORD BRAMPTOM HOMES? ITS ALL SCAMMERS SOCIETY AND ITS COMINING INTO ALL OF CANADA SOCEITY NOW, 1 COMMUNITY HAS CAUSED SOOO MUCH HARM TO CANADA.,

The bottom line is you cannot have Mass immigration of people into a country where the values are completely different there's going to be problems problems with language problems with housing problems with crime for government to have allowed so many Indians to come in at one time in such a short period of time is not good for that country it should have been done over a longer stretch because otherwise it will lead to huge consequences and problems that's the truth you cannot force a country to accept you just because you want to go there people want to preserve their culture and their way of life in their country they have that right you cannot force yourself on another culture our country just because you want to a lot of Indian students were recently busted for fraud by their sponsorship agents that was all over the news even though the government has allowed them to stay it still leaves a black mark on the Indians that they are corrupt and scammers be careful on how you act in the new country otherwise the dog is going to bite your asses understand.

Really these fake student connected to scammer fake immigration agent with fake school ! Just go home !

Immigration Canada needs to surround the GTA slowly working their way in checking everybody's permanent residency and anyone who does not have it is removed with prejudice. You come here to a school run by Indians who are a majority scammers and you think you're going to get a Queen's University level education, you're the fool.

Going to Canada to become a PR is a gamble to Indian students! They know the risk of immigration changes! Most of you are victims of fraud you claim!? How about those millions victims of Indian scammers? Should they protest to the Indian government???

The last few years have also shed a bright light on India's reputation with scam-calling centers etc., too. As it happens more and more in Canada now, with Indians being arrested for it. Yet the Canadians, who had $ stolen from them, still remain poorer after the arrests. \nAnd due to some recent (but many) Indian business/home owners in Canada, and the recent fraudster agents in India ... both utilizing secret cash pocketing shenannigans ... Canadians now are often viewing Indian men (and I stress the word men) as untrustworthy and $ greedy. \n \nSome Indian students have strong ties to Canadians, not most. I bet the protesters with their signs accusing Canadians as being racist don't have such ties, because if they did they would know its horrible to call one of the most tolerant societies in the world racist. \n \nWhy does Canada have to own missteps and make inspiring changes while India doesn't? Diplomatic relations, but only at Canada's expense? \n \nIf Canada keeps the students will they proceed forward honestly? Or will Canada be letting in a wave of demanders and scammers? You tell me? Heck even Indians who immigrated to Canada decades ago don't trust many Indian newcomers. Why?\n \nDoes giving current Indian students PR (because they were 'victims' via India) help Canada solve Canadian problems (that exist because of the student PR mess)??\n \nI know Canada made some mistakes. And I know some Canadians turned greedy too. But you tell me why, after 50+ years of Canadians loving multiculturalism and immigration and acceptance of so many from all around the planet (and after a world pandemic) Canadians are primarily (by a wide margin) upset at Indians. Why not the other mass migrators lookin for a better life too? \nYou tell me. \n\nFyi, I write all this as someone who in the past helped Indians migrate to Canada.

Those that came here under false pretenses need to be deported. Immigration is slow for a reason. If too many people come illegally, they wipe out the existing culture. Canadians are against terrible management, illegal immigration and scammers. If someone came here under a student visa and didn't spend any time in school in order to by pass immigration, sorry deportation, Canada owes you nothing.

Start rounding them up like 10 years ago. So many scammers involved in this immigration scam it is sickening. Toronto beaches are unusable now because of their makeshift port a potties. Just disgusting filthy creatures.

Western Christian immigrants are not an issue. It’s the ones who have no culture similarities and want to change Canada to their non western culture. \nStop appeasing to these cultural changes, stop the financial assistance, hold the scammers accountable, anyone who fraudulently came here and had kids revoke and deport, and we would not have the large influx we are seeing. Our lives will be peaceful and we would be able to maintain our quality of life.

The tough problem is how for this many scammers affecting canada now they are closing the border for all of us immigrants the same, i may be exaggerating but i have seen how more of my fellow mexicans working hard in jobs without the chance to get a temporary permit or DEP studies to stay while saw many scammers making false promises to their hindi fellows to make a profit from hope and the dream a residence there...
