Uber Drivers and Tim Hortons workers? Yeah, that guy sounds like he has some racist views.

born and raised in Canada, at 16, 17 my 2 sons were who are honour roll students can’t find part time jobs during summer. meanwhile local mcdonald ,tim horton and other local businesses employs indians that at times shows altitudes.

Every tim hortons, eBay store, and many more Canadians store you will see indians everywhere

I don’t think it is anti immigration in general, it is more anti Indian immigration. Look at Brampton and many other parts of Ontario and BC Almost no diversity in some cities. It doesn’t feel like Canada. Every Tim Hortons, truck drivers, many Indian international students, gas stations. Look at the job fairs, mostly Indians. What happened to diversity.

What happened to the point system?! We need 1000x more skilled trades coming in, but all we get are subpar security guards and Tim Hortons workers.

Only greedy landlords and their political friends have benefited from this disastrous Government immigration debacle. Canadians can only hope now, that the Mexican Cartels and their Chinese partners, will filter some of their profits to the fast food restaurants and Tim Hortons \nso at least they will survive the crisis of business failures, as most Canadians will not have expendable income, with out a criminal side hustle, to support any other Canadian owned business’s.

As a son of an immigrant, immigration is not the issue. Quality immigration is. These days all Canada is bringing in are students that make college and university owners rich and keeps businesses like Tim Horton's running with low spending. While the big corporations get rich, every Canadian is being hurt.

I am an immigrant myself , cameto canada 15 years ago from India as a student. Back then we dint come to get PR but to improve our skills , there was really only 4 universities we all came to UoT, mcgill, Uof A and BC, to do our postgraduate studies in engineering, medicine and business. We applied only when we got full or partial scolarship….. i now work in a canadian base cmpany as mid level engineering manager. .. the quality of indian students coming in has gone down …kids enrolling in diploma mills and their strategy is to work in tim hortons, because the paid 25 k for tution they are entitled to pr and a job … crazy

“ the country doesnt need a million uber drivers and tim horton workers”. Thats not a call to fix the system. Thats pure racism.

Nah bro said it perfectly, we don’t need another million Tim Hortons workers… we need people who can work in the trades, hospitals, etc

I forgot the Canadian international students who do not qualify for pr. On fake college degrees for tim hortons

Last week I went into a Tim Hortons and 4 indians stood there, ignored us for 5 minutes straight. They were literally chatting in their language the entire time had weren't doing anything. Now I understand what everyone else was saying. These people really must think we're punks and confused our kindness/tolerance for being weak lol

I was born in Canada in the 80s. My parents are from India. So call me racist if it gets you off. My ass is browner than yours probably. \nMy parents, and my uncles and aunts who came here in the late 1970s had to work their asses off to prove they were worthy of even ENTERING Canada, let alone to live in the country. ALL of my older male relatives who came to Canada at that time had a PhD in a science related field or was a medical doctor. EVEN then, they had to go through years of re-training in Canadian schools in order to have a shot at PR. And they persevered and did it, and did well. \nNow, anyone and their dog is allowed in, and it's kind of an insult to all my relatives had to accomplish in order to build a life here. They had to earn doctorates and medical degrees TWICE (once in India and again in Canada).\nWell, that generation did well, and now we're the kids who are grateful and enjoying the sacrifice they put in. What will the kids of illiterate, minimum wage workers be like? Probably not so good.\nCanada's probably done. But does the average Canadian have any desire to do anything. Nope. They used to value hard work and ambition when I was growing up but Canadian culture has become lack of ambition, and entitlements just for existing. \nSo, at least I was raised with the idea of working to no end and sacrificing in order to accomplish something in life. Now, I have the resources to live where I like and do. Canada's just a place I visit now if I feel like it.\nThose of you who like to sit at Tim Horton's every weekend with your beer and weed every night complaining about how your employer should pay you more obesity privileges, enjoy being served by the migrants who WILL take over as you approach the counter in your government funded scooter. You all reaped what you sowed. Most Canadians WELCOMED socialism and their wish came true. Peace.

Look at England. Labour shortage lmao Trudeau means tim hortons , McDonald's , wendys , burger king .

The increasing presence of Indian businesses in Canada presents a remarkable opportunity for economic growth and collaboration. also will help create more job for candian The growing prominence of Indian enterprises in Canada signifies an extraordinary opportunity for economic advancement and collaborative ventures. This influx is poised to generate a multitude of job opportunities for Canadians, further enriching the workforce. This burgeoning trend is not merely a spark igniting innovation; it also strengthens the ties that unite the two nations, fostering a vibrant exchange of cultural insights and ideas that enriches both societies. This dynamic collaborative partnership holds the promise of creating a myriad of new job opportunities, strengthening trade relations, and fostering a more vibrant and diverse economic landscape. Ultimately, this alliance has the potential to yield substantial benefits for both nations involved, paving the way for shared prosperity and growth. \n\nAdditionally, pursuing a position at Tim Hortons could be a valuable opportunity for you, as it may provide the constructive environment needed to facilitate personal growth and development.

LMAO Tim Hortons will survive just fine, just as they've done for many decades before this Mass wave of immigration was allowed to drown the entire country. Typically Tim Hortons was high school or summer student employees with a few lifers that managed to climb the ranks and stayed for whatever reason and became managers or overnight bakers. Tim Hortons is a Canadian staple and sure as hell wasn't built off the back of foreign immigrants ?

Don't live in Canada unless you won a Lottomax jackpot or own 10 Tim Hortons or McDonalds.

Markham, vaughan both are totally captured by other asian communities why you don’t go there to see what they do with these cities they just throw tim hortons cups, cold drinks cans near the side walks the sidewalk always feels like trash just go there and record it to the are also in majority in those cities barely see any white people why you don’t speak about them why you only target us and I also agree with you some 4-5 percent people of my community are idiots and do shitty stupid things but aslo made vides on asian to if you say we Punjabis are in majority in the city of Brampton so what we are majority in only one city but other asians are in majority in vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, north york so why you only target us for some stupid people, moreover i saw a white women peeing near a bus stop in Toronto in a broad daylight so this mean all white peoples are those type in downtown Toronto even they stole bikes they are drug addicted and majority of them are white homeles so this does not mean that all white people are if this kind also addiction doesn’t have any link with immigration they are not brown or black people they are white so please stop racism against brown people we are not the only one here .

for god sake do proper research , they are not students in the first they have no intention to study or grow in career , they are only for PR nothing more nothing less and do tim hortons coffee serving all the life lol

I was shocked to see an Asian working at Tim Hortons the other day. I found out today that he was fired by an east Indian manager. What a pitty.

I am not sure its related to indian immigrants but i am getting lot of local scam.calls from indian, well at least they have indian accents.\n\nAnd i stop going to Tim Hortons because of sanity issue. We need educate these immigrants.

Skilled workers don't apply at Tim Hortons. International Students are scamming Canada on basis of education. Deport them!

Every worker Tim Hortons employee is Indian, and most have such strong accents you can’t even understand wth they’re saying.

As a Canadian, I do not find myself or my neighbours resenting immigrants but rather the lack of social planning (housing in particular) that is behind part of this immigration policy. Several new immigrants are leaving Canada within 5 years, finding it too expensive and hard to get ahead, estimates range up to 30%. At the same time many of these new immigrants are the hardest working and doing some of our lowest payed jobs, go in to Tim Horton’s and you will see.

All workers in McDonalds, Tim Hortons, gas stations and other fast food places in Vancouver are Indian. I’m not racist, I love Indians, but that’s a big problem.

Can we only accept teacher, doctor/nurse, builders asylum seekers? We don't have enough tim hortons to employ everyone

it must be global warming , it fills so exotic here like never before I see people wearing this exotic dresses and turbans everywhere , they have nice suntan ,basically we don't need to go for vacation to this places the vacations and the places came to us , east Indian markets ,restaurants , daycares run by east Indians every Home depot and Tim Hortons , liquor stores , and now slowly radio and TV , construction, and almost everything else. I have to say they are so power full and smart , but us ? we are slowly disappearing because we are lazy .

The one’s leaving are the skilled ones. We are going to be left with a million Uber drivers and Tim Horton cashier

Walmart, Zara, Tim Hortons, McDonalds government jobs even all are hiring INDIANS only.. LMIA scam

As an immigrant i have kids and i can say this for sure my kids and your kids will not have a fair options with all the Indians killing the jobs ,schools, roads, small businesses, houses, parks, farm's, and i can go for ever,they are stealing jobs and buying everything and evey politicians with laundry money \n,Explain to your kids how a tim hortons worker can buy a house and a new car when a university graduate cant pay rent ???? \nNumbers prove my point, over 32 years working and paying taxes in Canada yet i cant effort to but a home but a student in college from Punjab can buy a houseand pay 100,000 over asking prices and 2024 car and send money home ????? How ???? Where all this money come from?????

My main issue with our country allowing so many immigrants into the country is that many of these immigrants from India seem to come to buy businesses up and sponsor their families and friends to live in Canada and work in their businesses which makes it extremely difficult to get basic minimum wage jobs. \nI’ve seen it first hand in my small town, I worked at a Tim Horton’s that was owned by Canadian owners but was sold halfway through my employment to an Indian family and slowly but surely all of the original Canadian workers, including the many young workers (high schoolers) we had employed were pushed out of the business, laid off, given less shifts in favour of giving the Indian employees more shifts. \nI had applied to become manager when my manager quit, I had worked there for a year and instead of promoting me (Because it just would have made sense because I know the job and live very close) An indian man was hired from a city 30 minutes away who’s never worked at a Tim Horton’s and barely spoke English. He was totally sexist to all the young female workers and treated them horribly. He never spoke English on the floor when our staff started to hire more Indian workers. \nIt’s becoming insane.

Last 3 minutes are true. Do your own research. If you are highly skilled, any place is good for you. But reality is people who could not secure admission in any college in India , come to Canada thinking life will change here. They end up doing low paying jobs here and then struggle with drugs , homelessness, high rent etc. Study in India if you are capable , or come for reputed MBA and come for jobs. Don't come to study diploma courses , noone is going to give you jobs with those diploma , certificates other than McD and Tim hortons.

It is a myth that Canadian education is good. I studied in Regina. I found teachers are Phd but they don't know how to teach. I went to study AI there but I found YouTube is better than the college where I study. I wasted CAD17000 there. No Jobs, No Career. Indian students are just working at Tim Horton, Walmart, Canadian Tire, and local restaurants to get PR and spoil their lives by becoming low-wage labor. This is harsh reality there.

India acha Hota Toh log family ko chodkar baraf wali Desh Mein nhi atey ,most of the people are just running after 2 jobs sharing their rooms and apartments to save money so that they can atleast have some after they grow old back home ... Firstly India need to do something so people don't go out to clean toilets in tim Hortons and Mc Donald's

Someone on reddit said that they work at Tim Hortons and spit in the coffee of yt customers

Tim Hortons has gone to $hit by who they are hiring. This once enjoyable coffee shop is now dirty, understaffed and filled with people that are loud and unprofessional. This is result of mass migration.

This just looks to me like somebody making more of something than it is. I have no idea where the statistics come from but I cannot believe that there are so many more Indians coming in than any other immigrants from all over the world. Where I live in Canada the Tim Hortons are full of Filipinos, as are the old folks homes and so many other health services taken by Filipinos, which is very good and they are solid people. Watching videos replayed and replayed doesn’t convince me anymore than the first time I saw the video of some protesters doing whatever it is they’re doing. This is just hype in my mind.

I remember once I was doing some work at a Tim Hortons on Vancouver Island, where the staff was almost, if not entirely, Filipino. What made it interesting is that while I was there someone from area or district management came in with 6 more Filipinos and was talking to the manager saying that she just brought her more employees, just just picked them up from the airport and was taking them to their provided accommodations at the University. So Tim Hortons has long been a pipeline for immigration. \n\nJust further highlights the point of larger businesses importing people to subsidize their labor costs. Same thing with BMO.

Indians are taking over Canada. It’s insane I am in Nova Scotia and wall mart is 90% Indian. Tim Hortons is also 90% Indian. We did not need this much Indians in this country. The same apartment i used to pay for 1300 about 4 years ago is 2500 today. THE SAME EXACT UNIT!!

yes they will stay. thank you for NDP and Trudeau. NDP could be the majority government on next election. So crazy I went to Tim Horton few months ago, saw a staff who opened a bottle of wine for a guy who you can tell he is drunk. Not only that, that guy just consume the wine there.

Pretty much every Indian in Canada works at Tim hortons or a gas station.

We have all of them over here, but we have much more with Tim Hortons……

Lmao the dude asking what happens to tim hortons if those people go into high demand sectors… dude, those jobs like tims and mcdonalds were historically filled by teenagers in high school, you know, KIDS who dont have skills yet… what a bozo

Stop comming here to work at tim Hortons

I have noticed many establishments, including Tim Hortons, only hire Indian people. Seems unCanadian and racist, contrary to our values. I know they are good hedworking students paying a fortune for their education in Canada. But dont Canadians need to work also?

Tim Hortons - my favorite Indian restaurant.

They come for indoor plumbing and social welfare. They also fill all those jobs that are in demand, like Uber drivers and Tim Hortons. ?

Canadian from Indian immigrant parents here, we do not hate our own people before I'm accused of anything like this. It's just obvious the amount of immigration we have is unsustainable and not particularly productive for the economy (the vast majority of immigrants are international students who end up working long term at places like tim Hortons). I think if we went back to allowing professionals to immigrate it would reduce a lot of the hatred towards the immigrants who I also don't blame for such a corrupt system squarely aimed at reducing expenses for the top 1% of Canadians

Immigrant here, brown as well, and a worker in the international educational industry. Pin points why Canada and even immigrants, including international students and temporary works dislike immigrants from Punjab:\n\n- They are rude. They have little to none concept of living in society. They are selfish, they are arrogant, and anyone who works in the serving/retail industry will they are the worst customers ever. \n\n- The level of entitlement is beyond absurd. When the leader of this protests in PEI was told “Canada needs doctors and nurses, not you (the guy graduated from a business program, and works at Tim Hortons still), he responded: “I don’t care what Canada needs, is what I need, for myself”, displaying what a great citizen he’d be.\n\n- They refuse to integrate. They left Punjab to pursue a better life, but they want to live like are still in Punjab. \n\n- They scam their way in. Banks in India will lend them money to come to Canada, they buy their IELTS results. 99.9% of all the students I dealt with who got caught cheating on their exams were from India.\n\n- The people we are receiving in Canada are members of a separatist movement. They have often blocked roads to protest against India, because they want Punjab to be separated from India, and turned into a new country called Khalistan. I highly doubt they would all move there if that actually happened.\n\n- Going back to the entitlement: They often abuse the human rights nature of Canada. They sued the government for the right to ride bikes without helmets, or to not be forced to used safety equipment in construction sites, and for the right to walk around carrying a dagger, because it’s a “religious item”. Canada also for some dumb reason accepts their arranged marriages as a real one. Any person from anywhere in the world has to undergo an invasive scrutiny of their relationship, being forced to provide private conversations, and witness. Punjab people need none of it, and Punjab fathers are selling their daughters to strange men, so the family can move to Canada together.\n\n- Statistics Canada often talk about how our population is aging: However, they do not disclose how many of these aging population is due to Indian nationals bringing their parents and grandparents with them. If we got a million Indian people in the past years, that would mean around extra 4 million people over 50 years old. That’s 10% of the entire population. \n\n- They are scammers. You said yourself: To be eligible for a mortgage , you need to make at least $250k per year. They are landing in Canada with no money, and buying houses right away, because they have a network of people forging financial documents, and the also have people infiltrated in banks to approve these processes. Not me saying, that was national news. \n\n- They are extremely racist. They will openly tell you they only rent/hire/do business with Punjab people. Now, even the buses are driven by Punjab people, is insane. And you can tell they are new comers, because some of them can barely speak English. But is a well-known fact: Once one of them is in, they will make sure to bring in as many of their countrymen as possible, and only them. The DEI department of my company approved a Punjab manager, and now more than half of the staff is Punjab. English is no longer spoken in the hallways. \n\nSo these are just few of the complaints I have about them. I moved to Canada for a better life, and I have fully adapted to this country, and I’m resentful that this government allowed these people to slowly turn Canada into India. I was sold the idea of diversity, and I fell for it. I’m the minority of the minorities. Despite being a full Canadian now, every single day I think more and more of just going home. I’m tired of Canada.

americans dont have Tim hortons?
