*Canada’s Broken Uncontrolled Immigration & Action Plan to Save Canada* It’s no longer a Liberal or Conservative issue. If you have a job, you should worry. If you have children, you should worry for their future. If you want healthcare as you age, you should worry. Since 2015, uncontrolled, open-border immigration policies have left Canada’s housing, healthcare, and education systems crumbling before our eyes. People are dying in ERs while waiting for care—our systems are overwhelmed, some perhaps exploited. Teachers can’t keep up with soaring ESL demands. Our children can no longer dream of owning their own homes some day. Our infrastructure is broken—in healthcare, housing, education, and employment. Liberals, Conservatives, even the NDP all agree. It’s time to unite: shut down our borders, deport illegal immigrants in massive numbers, and restore Canada as a safe, calm, and peaceful nation. *Write to your MPs—whether Liberal, Conservative, or NDP to stop mass immigration and deport illegal immigrants. Eventually, they will all have to listen.*

Hey Hatemonger. Tim Horton's in India are much nicer than they are in Canada. Google it. Or go visit. Your brain will open up a bit. Instead of videos like this make a video questioning Canadian government policies and why immigration authorities are asleep at the wheel as visas and permits expire and people overstay their visits. Quality of Canadian YT content is being run into the sewage by creators like you.

A concern is the pivot toward foreign military recruitment. If extortion and fraud isn't enough of a problem now, consider future disloyaly risks with our military. And here we go again, with 'express entry' and even an invitation to reply. Watch that back door. Also, way too much money is leaving the country. It's not just about attracting investment but getting it to stay. The immigration policies, ironically, are 'not' diversified.

What Canadians need to know is that the Carney Liberal Government has used the same policies on Immigration as the Unhinged Democratic Party in the 🇺🇸bad policies like open borders/illegal Immigration and the funding of Special Interest Groups all while hurting the Tax Payers and the destruction of Strong Economies with know Trade Deals with 🇺🇸🤝🇨🇦

More BS from a supposedly neutral balanced media outlet. At least when the CBC have a panel they have one from each party. Here are the facts. The Honourable Lena Metlege Diab is the current Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship. She was appointed to the role in May 2025 by Prime Minister Mark Carney following the April 2025 federal election. Her current activity is defined by a shift toward more restrictive and "talent-focused" policies. Here is the technical breakdown of her recent initiatives: 1. 2026 Express Entry Overhaul On February 18, 2026, Diab announced significant adjustments to the Express Entry system. The primary objective is to transition from broad intake to "sustainable levels" while addressing specific labor gaps. * New Categories: Streams were added for researchers, senior managers, transport occupations (pilots/mechanics), and foreign military personnel recruited by the Canadian Armed Forces. * Medical Priority: A specific category was introduced for foreign medical doctors already possessing Canadian work experience. * Tightened Requirements: She doubled the category-specific work experience requirement from 6 months to 12 months. This move is designed to narrow the candidate pool and prioritize those with deeper integration into the Canadian labor market. 2. Legislative Reform (Bill C-12) Diab is currently championing a major immigration and border security bill (C-12), which is moving through its third reading in the Senate as of February 26, 2026. * Executive Power: The bill grants the Governor in Council (acting on cabinet advice) broad authority to vary, cancel, or suspend immigration documents and applications in the "public interest." * Asylum Restrictions: Diab has been vocal about curbing what she terms "fraudulent" claims. The legislation proposes making anyone who has been in Canada for over a year ineligible to claim asylum, and it restricts claims from those entering via land borders outside official ports of entry. 3. Shift in Strategy The Minister’s rhetoric marks a pivot from previous Liberal administrations. Her current messaging focuses on "taking back control" of immigration levels. While she continues to promote the recruitment of "the best and brightest," she has explicitly stated the government's goal is to reduce the total annual number of both permanent and temporary residents. Summary Table | Focus Area | Recent Action | |---|---| | Express Entry | Increased experience threshold to 12 months; added military/researcher streams. | | Asylum Policy | Supporting Bill C-12 to restrict claims made after 1 year of residency. | | Staffing | Recently appointed Isaac MacDonald (former P.E.I. Liberal executive) as Director of Parliamentary Affairs.

The immigration policy in Canada is a joke. Justin has ruined it. I bet 80% of immigrants there have arrived on false pretence, be it studying or tourism or marriage. Its all big business in India. I'll do the studying you pay the fees, let's get married on paper to gain entry.... Its an open secret. Canada is officially fooked.... 😂

Yes, Canada’s asylum system is currently facing intense scrutiny due to record-high claim volumes and allegations of systemic fraud. THE SCALE OF THE PROBLEM Backlog Explosion: The inventory of pending asylum claims has surged significantly, reaching approximately 300,000 active cases as of late 2025. Rising Claim Volumes: Annual claims reached a record 190,000 in 2024, though they decreased by about a third in early 2025 following new policy measures. Removal Gap: Criticisms have been raised regarding the low rate of deportations; reports indicate that 86% of rejected claimants remain in Canada. SOURCES OF "BOGUS" CLAIMS International Student Surge: There has been an "alarming trend" of international students claiming asylum to remain in the country after their study permits expire or in response to new caps on student visas. Fraud Networks: Investigations have highlighted vulnerabilities where unauthorized agents and transnational fraud networks counsel migrants to submit fabricated narratives or forged documents. "Rubber-Stamping" Allegations: A recent report by the C.D. Howe Institute warned that a paper-based "fast-track" system for certain high-risk countries may be bypassing essential security screenings and in-person questioning. ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL IMPACT Healthcare Costs: The Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP), which provides medical benefits to claimants, saw its budget jump from roughly $66 million to over $1 billion annually. Policy Shift: To reduce incentives for non-genuine claims, the government is introducing a co-pay system for supplementary health services (like dental and vision) starting May 1, 2026. CONSEQUENCES OF FRAUD For individuals, filing a "bogus" or misrepresented claim carries severe penalties: A five-year ban from entering or remaining in Canada. Permanent record of fraud with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Loss of current temporary or permanent resident status

He wants to have a slave class to serve the elites. 95% of maid is white people. Now fast tracking citizenship for Chinese mercanary soldiers and taking our guns for the 3rd time and spent billions and aren't getting guns but this time they will and Chinese mercenaries have no ties so they will have no problem turning their guns on us. I believe he is planning a genocide of older people to save money on Healthcare after all death cures everything. His orange man bad narrative is going to come true if he thinks trump will put up with massive immigration and ccp soldiers in our military. Carney has so many conflicts of interest he is tanking canada on purpose so he can sell his green scam tech which surprise is owned by Brookfield a Canadian company which he moved to New York to avoid paying our high taxes. He is the biggest security threat to canada ever he is a madman ,arrogant prick that needs to go to jail along with his gangster liberal buddies. I cant believe how lefties believe his b.s every word out of his mouth is a lie. He attacks Pierre and he is not the government and says its a global problem. No its liberal mismanagement and corruption. The election is over after ontario and quebec votes because its gerrymandered with not enough seats out west because they think we are children and we pay the bills and no immigrants are working i get taxed 1500 on my 1450 pension to pay for these parasites. Carney talks out of the side of his mouth id love to play poker with him he cant lie worth shit. There is no way these policies are put in for any reason other than to impoverish us they are ridiculous. How about the teacher in hope b.c who got a 750,000 fine for a perfectly reasonable post about trans insanity. They say they are going to give it to lgbq+ offended teachers. You disagree with the government narrative they freeze your bank account, cancel you and bankrupt you all in violation of the charter of rights and freedoms. There not even trying to hide their dictatorship with their new kings clause where a company thats in with pm can basically break Canadian laws if pm says so. I hope ee get invaded i will never go to a hospital to die . In ontario 65 people got maid in 24 hours without talking to family and without life threatening conditions. This guy is a co trol freak has to be stopped now

This is what lazy European far right parties always do : blame a national problem on undocumented migrants. This is just cruelty for the sake of it. If you want them out of here, you do that. What's the point of preventing them from getting health care. Like a virus will know not to go from an undocumented immigrant to a regular Canadian citizen. It is a dumb policy and it tells me the Conservatives are uncapable of generating original ideas. Definitely not ready for government.

One thing is to be angry with the government immigration policies, and another to be angry with immigrants, I choose to be angry at the policies and work to change them, and love my immigrant neighbors and defend them. like if you agreed

Wow, the conservative party has been saying this for years and you guys are acting like this is some big epiphany that this is happening. Shame on you for not reporting this properly and digging into the real issue at hand and that that is 10 years of liberal failure when it comes to immigration policy. Why not try doing some real journalism for once

Immigration policy is a federal responsibility, ensuring fairness. Why is it so confusing to so many to understand that Alberta is a province, not a country? A province that undermines consistent national standards weakens the sense of unity that holds a country together. When one province seeks to separate itself from the shared framework, divisions will arise, and policies will be driven by local political pressures rather than the broader national interest.

Hey Danielle, do these people you are trying to kick out of our social programs pay taxes and contribute to these programs? Why should they have to pay twice? I have a better idea, how about you implement responsible fiscal policy instead of fear mongering against immigrants. It may be a good idea to regain the revenue you lost when you cut corporate taxes.

lol, you cannot control immigration, it’s a Canadian issue. You have no authority to change national immigration policy. And again, because you seem to be too dumb to understand, Alberta does not fund the country’s equalization transfers.

I talked to a family of immigrants a few years ago and they were terribly upset with the open door policy that Canada had adopted. They said the reason they left their home was to get away from the bad people that Canada was now welcoming. They said these people will poison Canada. Well, years later they seemed to be spot on with their assessment.

A 15K reduction by the Carney government is insulting. There are multiple immigration catergories- add them all together its more like 1 million a year, not 400k. Wake up Canada, this policy has serious impacts on many components of your life and future generations of your family's life.

Cross country strike until they step down . Don't be confused Sheer., you guys need to be way more conservative, we've had enough. You all voted for destructive policies. Why aren't you filing court challenges? Why aren't you talking about the bioweapon injections?? Did you make money on pcr's? PPs wifey too? Both sides have been compromised for decades. CSIS Report. China, India. Canadians never wanted immigration from any of these 3rd world countries. This is treason.

LIBERAL IMMIGRATION POLICIES

Blame the liberal government and its immigration policy

Immigration of any kind should be suspended for at least 1 year in order to fix the system and deal with the mess created by the Liberals over the last 11 years. Get the illegal immigrants and foreign criminals collected and exported out of Canada. Process the people who are here legally and give our systems time to fix issues created by the Failed Liberal Immigration Policy.

This is how liberals maintain power, as people wake up to corruption, bring in more immigrants whose citizenship and free money depends on bad policies

Liberal academia has FLOPPED! Immigration policy-FLOP environmental policy-FLOP Economics-FLOP Trade negotiations-FLOP Foreign policy-FLOP ...O, and trans are killing people. Liberals are devils. Accept it.

Stop immigration policies

Lol, there is no division at all. Even Trudeau himself called his own immigration policy out of control, that he needed to get it back under control before he was voted out of office.

Government failure TIME AND TIME AGAIN. You let an influx of immigrants all at once, fail to do proper checks on who enters the country, fail to get rid of criminals from the country. But oh! You'll go after hard working immigrants, meanwhile criminals are always getting second chances and staying in Canada??? KEEP HARDWORKING LEGAL CANADIAN IMMIGRANTS IN. They contribute to our economy. DEPORT CRIMINALS. They ruin our country. IS THAT SO HARD? The government is FAILING Canada! We used to have better immigration policies, what happened to them?

PR here Tightening the immigration policies will ultimately bring down the costs of rent, so ultimately everyone wins out of this.

Anti immigrant sentiment are base on Xenophobia & insecurity.. Pro immigrant policy are base on stats & economics.. Canadian low birthrate of 1.25 children (350k) need to be at 3 children (850k), so Trudeau policy of 500k immigrant per yr is on point. The gov just failed to plan better, like build enough houses..

Thanks to Canada's roller coaster immigration policies

No, there is a reasonable and very widespread expectation that the amount of immigration be limited to the number of people who can be accommodated without overwhelming every single capacity the country has. The previous liberal government's policies on this issue had been completely "pie in the sky", thanks entirely to Justin Trudeau. The man was completely incompetent.

Now, that's what I call one-sided reporting. Not a single voice supporting a tighter immigration policy

There is nothing tight about Canada’s immigration policy

It’s not divisive. Canadians overwhelmingly reject the unlimited immigration policy of the Trudeau era.

Canada has a huge problem with its policy on skilled programs. Any other developed country including Australia honour the preceding policy if the applicant arrived in the country before the program is closed or the policy is reversed. Canada does not. This is not just unethical but has a very negative impact on future immigration when levels do subside where our economy needs more immigrants.

What a ridiculous report. Canadians (myself included) are UNANIMOUSLY for tighter immigration policies. No idea where you're getting this idea that we're divided LMFAO.

Trudeau says it is a bad policy change. That said, Quebec has their own immigration policy

"Canada's tighter immigration policy *UNITES* the country". There, I fixed the title for you.

As a Canada who speaks both French and English and who follows politics quite closely, I have to say that the headline and some of the reporting here is quite misleading. A reduction in immigration has broad support across Canada. I wouldn't say that notion is dividing the country in any significant way. You do have certain industry groups that disagree, but among the population these reductions have broad support. This is a historic change in public opinion in Canada, but it has been driven by the unprecedented increase in immigration under the last term of the Trudeau government. To put this in context, non-permanent residents in Canada numbered around 1.5 million on Q3 2023, but by Q3 2025, that number sat a just over 3 million. The previous government increased immigration targets by 3 or 4 times over what they had been for years, which caused a number of economic issues. Essentially, the volume was simply too high for the economy and society to support. This was unfair to both Canadians and new comers, many of which could not find employment or afford a decent place to live. The changes being suggested are largely bringing Canada back to what the targets were for over a decade before, though a bit lower to account for the sudden surge. Canada remains one of the most pro-immigration countries in the world. However, and this is where I think DW's reporting is misleading, there is a distinction to be made between policies at the federal level and policies at the provincial level. Immigration, per our constitution, is a federal matter, however, Quebec in particular is distinct from other provinces. I don't mean only culturally and linguistically, but also in the powers that have been devolved to it by the federal government. On the question of immigration, Quebec has more powers and more ability to set its immigration targets and programs than any of the other 9 provinces. The particular program discussed here, the Quebec Experience Program (PEQ), is a particular immigration stream that only existed in Quebec. So what is happening with that program cannot be labeled as a whole-of-Canada thing. Where the changes to the PEQ are controversial, unlike the general changes at the federal level, is that people who immigrated under that specific program were promised certain things. There was a multi-year time line to Permanent Residency and then Citizenship. Many of those people have been in Quebec for 5-8 years already. However, the changes made to the program were done in such a way where people who many years into the program, had gotten an education, started a career, had children, ect. are now being told they can't continue and must leave Canada. There are even stories of people who married Canadians, now have children, and the one parent who was under this program now faces the possibility of having to leave Canada and be separated from their family. All through no fault of their own. That is what many people see as unfair, and I agree, however limiting future applications under the program, to bring in less people, that is not controversial. Canada has no responsibility to bring in people who are not already in Canada, but Canada does have some responsibility towards people who uprooted their lives to move to Canada and built new lives here based on promises and representations made to them by the Canadian and Quebecois governments. We should no simply kick those people out of the country.

Please don't believe this report. I am from Canada, This issue is not dividing us at all . In fact the overwhelming majority agrees immigration numbers of recent years are unsustainable .These policies to cut immigration are driven by public pressure on the government..Fr24 is cherry picking and make it sound like there is huge backlash to these cuts.

It is an immigration policy to blame you id*ot you tuber

Before 2015, Canada had virtually zero illegal immigration. Today, by the government’s own data, that number has surged to roughly 500,000. Worse still, official projections show that by the end of 2026, another 2.1 million temporary residents will see their status expire, many at risk of slipping into illegality. This failure of policy has already fueled a growing underground economy across the country. Deporting just 20,000 people a year is a drop in the bucket. *The only credible response* from the Carney government demands decisive action—raising *deportation* numbers to well over 100,000 annually to restore integrity to the system.

Blaming immigrants instead of colonialism, capitalism, and failed policy is coward shit.. And, every group that ever immigrated was called dirty, criminal, and unassimilable : case in fact, the Irish, Italians, Jews, Chinese. Now it’s Indians. same script, different target. Read history before you open your mouth

I guess many Canadian citizens were suffering from the consequences of the crazy immigration policies over the past 5 years caused by Justin Trudeau

They are definitely gaming the system. It's waaaaay too permissive. It's rough. Systems based on honor and lack of corruption get used when people used to bribery and corruption (most Indian politics, policies, taxes, etc) will use the hell out of it. That's why it works in places like Denmark, Finland, etc. They don't let just ANYONE in, it's actually quite difficult. Nothing wrong with Immigration as long as the immigrants assimilate and do so legally.

Us “old stock” Indians DO NOT WANT THIS BS HERE! Trudeau and his stupid Liberal policies WRECKED immigrations. Now Brampton and most of Canada is overrun with Punjabi “temp workers” “international students” “asylum seekers” etc. They have RUINED what used to be a nicely mixed city of Brampton. It used to be clean, friendly, safe….not anymore. I grew up Brampton all my life and I’ve never been afraid of going out in the evenings or to events, until the last 10 years happened, especially the last 7 years. These new Indian immigrants are NOT respectful, not clean, downright rude, they stare at you if you’re a woman, I mean STARE. Im the summers of you wear a dress or shorts (and you’re an Indian or brown girl) they will yell obscene things and stare you down, it’s disgusting.

Who is trying to turn canada into india? You all forget that no one but the government is reponsible for bad immigration policies. Everyone comes here with a dream i mean canada is a country built by immigrants, just because some other nationalities got here first and made Canada their home does not give them the right to judge others. Shameless behaviour in the comments by some people. Humanity at its worst. God bless us all

Bro on the bike is a white trash liar especially on the whole Africa IQ thing. He is referring to claims made by a debunked scientist called Richard Lynn. "major academic critiques have accused Richard Lynn of deliberate bias and systematic misrepresentation to fit a specific ideological agenda. Independent researchers have found that he consistently selected data that favored his preconceived conclusions while ignoring contradictory evidence. Evidence of Systematic Bias Peer-reviewed analyses by researchers such as Jelte Wicherts identified several patterns suggesting intentional distortion in Lynn's work: Cherry-picking Low Scores: Lynn was found to have systematically excluded studies that showed higher IQ averages in African countries. He reportedly ignored every available study reporting an average IQ above 85 for African samples. Misrepresentation of Samples: In one "egregious" example for Equatorial Guinea, Lynn assigned a national IQ of 59 based on a single study of children who were in a home for the developmentally disabled in Spain, not a representative group from the country itself. Inconsistent Selection Criteria: Critics noted that Lynn's only consistent rule for including a study appeared to be the final score; lower scores were more likely to be included regardless of the sample's health or representativeness. Ideological Motivation Experts and organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) argue that Lynn's work was not impartial science but was motivated by white nationalist and eugenicist ideologies: "Race Realism": Lynn was a long-time advocate of "race science," a fringe field that attempts to use biological data to justify racial hierarchies. Political Agenda: He openly argued that nations with high IQs must "subjugate or eliminate" lower-IQ groups to maintain dominance. He also advocated for the breakup of the U.S. into racial ethno-states and promoted anti-immigration and eugenics policies. Funding Ties: Much of his work was supported by the Pioneer Fund, an organization founded by Nazi sympathizers to promote "race betterment" and white supremacy. Scientific Consequences As a result of these documented flaws, the academic community has largely rejected his datasets: Revoked Status: In 2018, Ulster University revoked Lynn's emeritus status due to the "racist and sexist" nature of his work. Formal Rejection: The European Human Behavior and Evolution Association issued a formal statement in 2020 advising all researchers to stop using Lynn’s data, labeling it "unsound" and "scientifically unreliable". Publisher Reviews: As of late 2024 and 2025, major academic publishers like Elsevier have initiated comprehensive reviews of his published research due to mounting evidence of its "fundamentally flawed" and "misleading" nature.

I’m a proud Indian who is now a Canadian citizen, and I’ve made a conscious effort to assimilate into Canadian culture and values. What bothers me is how this conversation has been reduced to blaming one group. The reality is that the Canadian government failed first by not properly managing immigration volumes, not enforcing document verification, and not honestly assessing whether the country could support such rapid population growth. That policy failure created pressure on housing, jobs, and social systems long before resentment followed. We also need honesty within the Indian community. Some Indians struggle to adapt being overly loud, culturally rigid, and sometimes lacking empathy for Canadian norms and shared public spaces. I studied Canadian and Indigenous history in school, and respecting that history matters. Assimilation doesn’t mean abandoning your culture, but it does mean understanding and respecting the society you chose to join. Cultural education should be expected, not optional. That said, one Indian doing something wrong does not make all Indians bad. Most Indian students and workers I know are hardworking, punctual, and serious about contributing. I’ve personally worked minimum-wage jobs for years, and what I noticed was not jobs being “taken,” but fewer Canadian youth willing to stay in or commit to these roles long-term. Indians didn’t replace Canadians, they filled vacancies that already existed. I also briefly volunteered helping the homeless, and what I saw was honestly shocking. It’s not that the government isn’t trying to help there are rehabilitation programs and support systems in place. The difficult truth is that a significant portion of the homeless population struggles with substance abuse and refuses treatment because it requires giving up drugs. Over time, homelessness itself starts to function like a culture, where benefits and assistance unintentionally enable continued substance use rather than recovery. This is an uncomfortable reality people don’t like to talk about. None of this is simple. Immigration didn’t break Canada, and neither did one community. Poor policy, weak enforcement, lack of accountability, and refusal from governments and individuals to adapt responsibly is what brought us here. Blame is easy. Honest solutions are not.

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.

Canada’s fertility rate collapsed to ~1.25 (historic low). Instead of supporting families, housing, and wages, government chose population replacement via mass immigration. That’s not demographic policy — that’s demographic outsourcing.

Because Canadian politicians are, like in essentially every country, in bed with the wealth class so they green lit a wildly retarded immigration policy to flood Canada with cheap labour and suppress wages. There was never a real labour shortage in all but and extremely limited number of industries in Canada. Indians and Pakistani's make zero effort to integrate even learn basic English. They aren't stupid. They want to overpopulate areas so that they don't even have to bother integrate. Make no mistake, this isn't a Liberal or Conservative issue. Canada's reckless immigration policy is a war being waged by the wealthy on the rest of us.
