Canada like many countries who came out fairly unscathed from COVID are facing the same dilemma, they didn't get the massive economical bounce back and the momentum that went with it like many countries who were devastated by COVID. If you look at the data between Canadian household income compared to the US, excluding the top ten percent since the US has much more income inequality than Canada, you will see that most Canadian are doing much better than their American neighbours. And on top of that, we have safer streets, healthcare, longer lifespan and better public education system. What we are missing is more leadership structuring our economy rather than completely being depended on the free market. They are managing the economy rather than facilitating more growth, none of the Canadian political parties seems to truly be engaged with that. We are not the US, we do not have the population to grow a service economy like they do, which has a compounding effect on their economy. We need a more focused approach to managing our resources, including human resource, which requires some planning on the economic side.

who ever came to Canada with fake documents , they knew they have fake one , they paid to someone to create FAKE documents

While he’s at it, CANCEL ALL FAKE REFUGEE CLAIMS & INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS WHO CAME TO CANADA UNDER FALSE PRETENSES. Come as a student & then submit a refugee claim!!

Not enough people are being sent back. Also, I don’t feel sorry for them because when my parents came to Canada, they went through the proper channels and filled out all the paperwork they needed to. As soon as they got here they found jobs which was in abundance at the time. So trying fake anything just to come here is unfair to the others who do it the legal way.

It isn't homelessness in Canada....it is illegal immigrants who don't belong in Canada in the first place and need to go home to their own place wherever they came from expecting handouts for nothing and forcing real canadians on the streets as well, and drug addicts who need to deal with their own problems and stop wasting tax dollars on their pathetic lives which they made by using drugs in the first place. We need to cut social spending so people get off their lazy asses and work otherwise it is their problem. I am done paying high taxes for this garbage. THIS IS NOT By accident THIS IS TRUDEAUS TOTAL INCOMPETENCE AND CORRUPTION. Please know what you are talking about so you report correctly.

These are not students. These have children who are students. These came to Canada for low paying jobs.

Unfortunately, I know several skilled workers with MScs and PhDs in STEM fields (e.g., Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Neuroscience, or Computer Science) who came to Canada not only to pursue their degrees but also to contribute to the country’s scientific and economic development. Many of these individuals, including myself, end up leaving. \n \nSome leave because of systemic issues in the PR system, which often prioritizes candidates with limited skills or questionable credentials over highly qualified individuals who have lived, studied, and worked in Canada for 5+ years. Others leave due to the high cost of living, challenges in accessing healthcare, or instability in the job market. \n \nThroughout my time in Canada, I’ve met genuinely kind and hardworking Canadians who are understandably frustrated with the current state of affairs. The policies implemented by this government have created significant challenges that may take years to resolve. Unfortunately, this risks leaving Canada with a workforce ill-equipped to meet future demands, while losing both talented Canadians and highly skilled immigrants who could have been integral to the country’s progress.

Try and be a good person.....period.\nCanada is a huge country with many variables in taxes, climate and culture. In southern Ontario I shovel the driveway about 4 times a winter. Winter is mild now compared to the 60's. \nI try and aviod processed foods that are taxed as opposed to most groceries that are not taxed. \nHealth Care has gone downhill in the last 25 years. \nBut, no one goes broke paying hospital bills. Fortunately health care where I live is very good. No wate times or problems. But, it would be great if nurses and doctors came to Canada!!!

Probably came via Canada, we are full of em

I came to Canada 11 years ago and it used be a great country back then. Now it’s all the violence, hate speeches on streets, drugs, guns, poverty, inflation. I can’t wait to move back to India.

I have friends that came from Ireland they are both doctors they came to Canada 3 years ago they left last year went back to Ireland . They are happier. They were able to buy a house to . In Ireland

Pretty happy with this news. Local people should learn the hard way that immigrants are not the reason for their issues. It's their government. \nContinue hating the immigrants and no one will choose Canada. Don't worry; immigrants leaving are more prosperous than you think and have more options. They aren't making 16$ an hour like the majority of the people in the comments section.\n\nInterestingly, some third or fourth-generation immigrants think it's only their country. People who came in the last decade don't deserve to be in Canada. The country only belongs to native people. Everyone else is an immigrant. There are a bunch of hypocrites and racists in the comment sections.

Been in Canada almost 20 years as a citizen. Went to university and college. Got a degree and a diploma in economics and accounting but no jobs. Finally became a realtor while working for a property management company who then wanted to fire me for getting licensed instead of using my skills. Similar to my sister who came and went to university. Did the 4 year RN degree and became a registered nurse… but couldn’t get a job in the hospitals because a certain group of people only wanted to hire their own. Canada has a fundamental problem apart from the unaffordable living conditions and high taxes

DEFUND all immigrants and they will deport themselves. My ancestors got zero $ when they came to Canada. DEFUND all immigrants!!

they came not for the love of Canada but for the love of money, welfare and free health care .

No one wants to stay in this taxed to death , Country my family came here 300 years ago ,to flee Zionism , now Canada is home to 900 Nazis and thousands of Zionist who support genocide in a foreign country ,Canada the country I love has been Nazified , betrayed by our government to outside influence , like the WEF ,who admitted to having control of all the main parties ,and they do .

I do not understand why you people came in the first place. If you think where you came from was better than Canada, why did you come in the first place?

i'm happy there are people here who agree, but having your voice heard only as a youtube comment is not the answer. do you know how countries in europe managed to get ahead in healthcare? patients went to the press with recorded videos about their experience. and yes, initially the journalists dismissed this as non news, but it only needed one to go with it. and it made waves. now a 2hr wait in the ER in europe is met by the tv crew. \ncanadians refuse to do it. when i came to canada 25 years ago a 2hr wait was normal. now it's 9hrs and still no discontent voices. no politician is running on healthcare, but on cutting taxes and on giving back a few hundred dollars a year back to the families. and most are eating it up! \nbecause healthcare is public, doctors and their union have 0 incentive of allowing more professionals into the system, because they all share the same pie. there are families who do not have a family doctor and are forced to use clinics, even with newborn babies. my family doctor works a regular job, doesn't answer the phone after 3:30 (even though they are open until 4), has 2-half days (one is a golf day btw) and overall couldn't give a F about patients. on that high salary in any other industry, you'd be on call 24/7. \nand then there's housing, jobs, the education system is a mess - more and more people are worried about what these kids are learning and there is 0 incentive from any of the politicians to address the issue.\nand, of course, there is forced immigration. when we came it used to be a merit system, you had to bring in money to prove you won't be a burden to welfare for at least a year. it's definitely not the case now. \npeople look at PP as some kind of saviour, but he's not going to fix anything. usually conservatives are good for corporations, whilst liberals balance their policies with the needs of the common folk. how far they've fallen.

I'm also an immigrant, been in Canada for 16 years, came here initially for uni. It's funny that I have no negative feelings towards immigrants from any other countries but India. And I didn't have any negative feeling toward them before I came to Canada, if anything, I only remember something positive my grandma telling me about Indian people being beautiful, that they have big beautiful eyes. After I came to Canada, over the years, based on countless personal experiences dealing with them, sadly my conclusion is 99% of them are bad, 1% are the exception. They are aggressive, rude, stinky, unhygienic, dishonest, always trying to take financial advantage of people or situations to save a few more bucks by being super annoying or cheating, extremely disrespectful and aggressive towards women!! Really nothing is appealing about them. And at a job position, 1 Indian will bring 10 Indians, 10 will bring 100, they are slowly encroaching the environment and taking over everything. Other races try to assimilate into the local culture, while the Indians are imposing theirs onto the local and other cultures. Canada feels like it's turning into a second India. It's lost its politeness, manner, rules etc. I no longer want to live here, I plan to move back to my country after a few years. And I don't really go to Tim Hortons anymore cuz the Indians are taking over all the franchises and lowered the standards of Hygiene and friendliness. I don't think I'm being racist, cuz I'm not having all these negative feelings based on their skin colour or origin. It's purely based on real life experiences in dealing with them.

Canada should take care of their homeless people first before accepting refugees from the United States since Trump won the election where he will deport any illegal immigrants. My question is: How did these illegals obtain jobs? I’m sure Trump had illegals working for him. Does Trump realize that businesses will suffer when these people are deported because there won’t be anyone hired to do their jobs? Sending these people back to where they came from will cost the tax payers millions because Trump certainly won’t be paying for their fares.

The migrants will find a way into Canada because of the government's weak leadership. I was born and raised in Montréal, Québec, and I am still living there. I work as an employment counselor and many asylum seekers (from Haiti, Guinea, Nigeria, Ghana, Algeria, Morocco, Burkina Faso, Senegal, etc.) come to my office (on average 15 per week). Between July 1, 2023 and June 30, 2024, approximately 300 asylum seekers came to my workplace. An overwhelming majority of them are receiving welfare and living in hotels, at tax payers expense, while homelessness remains an issue in the city. Canadians should be taken care of first!

Canada - Ontario was really great. I came from latinoamerica, and Canada was into real diversity. Now, I feel like getting pushed out of the province, not from Canadians but by Indians. I am moving from Ontario because of this. ? I love Canada ?? but I am getting tired of this. Is the culture, the manners, you name it. I don't want to hate certain people, but I hate the actual situation.

Every thing was great in Canada before all these refugees and immigrants came to Canada they are the ones driving up rent unemployment and taking a toll on our healthcare and education

Yeah well dont leave Elon Musk out of that round up. Because he is one them that came from Canada. Fact check that first clowns.??????

They came in the US illegally when US started deporting them its Human rights abuse, and she wants Canada to be compassionate and humane for the refugee,We still have our own immigration problem our unemployment rate is high,our inflation is high,our medical system is already stretched , and housing crisis, she want canada to be nice and kind..??

With your attractive appearance,experience, and effective delivery I would submit that you are a natural for television work both in CANADA AND THE U.S.and without a degree. Not many people have the vocabulary and delivery skills that you possess. Just my thought that your abilities and opportunities are here and not abroad. A husband,and condo remain difficult for someone constantly on the move.You are absolutely right about walking alone at night, however.A woman came from Toronto and earns $500,000 doing the noon news cast, while a man I k now earns $300,000 doing voice overs for radio and television on almost every topic or assignment without any college at all.

Yo, Dingbat Dana--if they came here illegally they ARE CRIMINALS. Mayor Adams is already sending them to Texas, so they are almost outa here. Canada is even closer.

HELLO MY NAME IS GURPREET SINGH FROM INDIA ?? I AM KHALISTAN SIKHS IN CANADA ?? ? I NEED PERMANNT RESIDENT FOR CANADA AND I CAME HERE AS STUDENT AT BRAMPTON COMMUNITY COLLEGE ITS INSIDE A VERY GOOD SHOPPING MALL ? I AM STUDYIJG FOR SECURITY GUARD ?‍♂️ PLEASE GIVE ME PERMANENT RESIDENCY I AM OWED IT BECSUSE YOUR PEOPLE IS RACIST

We in Canada must never allow illegal people of any kind or situation to enter Canada.Those who attempt to cross our borders must be sent back to where they came from if they do not meet the legal requirements to enter.If that means engaging our military to enforce the laws then that is what should used.People who break laws are not welcome and should under absolutely no circumstances be allowed to set foot into Canada,period!!.

F**k the international human rights obligations. If this government lets is these migrants from the US, they are finished. Most of them came through a safe first country: Mexico. This is not Canada's problems. Perhaps the bleeding hearts should join them on their journey to Mexico.

It's time for Canada to wall off the border, our health system is backed up, funding is lacking, jobs are scarce even if you want to work, our youth cannot find the jobs they seek; we've done our part and let enough in already. I say put them on a plane and send them back to where they came from. It's time for those countries to fix their own problems!!!

The best way to get the immigrants to go back.... Is to stop giving them free s***.... I know an immigrant who went to Canada and don't get nothing.....then he came to America and got everything?

Here an idea how about we just dont let the ppl try to flee here in send them back to where ever courty of original came form cause we dont need the ppl just going to mess up the courty more and get suckerd into vote for li earls and ndp and we dont want that we try to get them out of the office and goveremnt there bad for canada and we also dont need more ppl fleeting here

Why send to Canada? Send them back where they came from

All illegal migrants or people should be deported immediately, no matter where they came from originally ? Canada, Australia, China, Philipine, S Africa, etc..... ? You name it, all of them.

Maybe you should check on Elon Musk, he & his brother were born in South Africa, went to Canada, came to America, worked illegally on a J1 student visa, his first sponsor wouldn't fund him until he sorted his status, what about Melania & her family?... hypocrits

Bro i wanna ask one thing i came to canada in last December and i was in private college and then changed my college in sept 2024 and my course is social service worker does tr to pr also help me ??

As first generation American all this endless whining is getting old. When my family came here, they all had to have a health certificate and a sponsor that guaranteed they would have employment and housing waiting for them when they got here. If not, they weren’t going to be allowed on the boat to start with. No free housing, health care, food or education. \n \n\n So what part of ILLEGAL ALIEN isn’t being understood. This kind of nonsense isn’t allowed in virtually any other country on the planet. Try to cross into Mexico or Canada illegally and see where you end up. The argument is Americans don’t want to do the jobs that the illegals do yet back in the day Americans did do these jobs. The problem is too many Americans today think jobs that require physical labor are beneath them and too many are getting paid way too much for what the job they’re doing entails. Sorry but flipping burgers and asking if you want fries with that IS NOT a job worth $15 or $20 bucks an hour.

I just want to say the immigration didn’t start with Trudeau, I came to Canada when Steven Harper was in power , I went to lived in a neighborhood were the entire building was full with Colombians, the same with other buildings . I have to move out cause I felt that I was living in South America .

Trump needs to send them south to Mexico where they came in...\nI am a Trump supporter but if he sends them or doesn't redirect those coming to Canada southerly.. I hope he considers the impact of that.... What a fxxk up....

When we immigrated to Canada we had to pass english exams, health checks and paid a lot of money. We came here and are grateful to be here. We did not come here to demand that our culture and religion be respected. We gave this up. If they can just walk across the border then all those who paid should get there money back.\nWe did not demand any help. We worked our buts off to make it work.

It's not the USs fault our immigration system is useless. Nor is it Trump's fault. The blame falls solely on the Canadian government and Trudeau and the woke LiberalNDP agenda. We should be doing the same. If they knew they'd be sent right back to where they came from they wouldn't even bother coming to Canada. Legal immigration is different. Opening your borders to anyone and everyone is an invasion. We have more than enough to worry about at home.

Like what Trump is going to do, and rightly so, Canada could do the same. However, we are talking about Mr destruction , Justin the useless twit Trudeau . \nHe needs to hear us loud and clear. No, send them where ever they came from. Oh wait. These are the ones that threw all their documents away, to claim asylum, because of a weak government. \nBiden screwed the US, Trudeau screwed Canadians .

It is indeed a top priority of Canada ?? ❤ to secure our borders ASAP. We cannot afford as taxpayers to accept more of these asylum seekers or illegal migrants; we are not even sure who they are, where they came from. O please Prime Minister Trudeau don't let them cross our borders. Thank you.

Didn’t some Indian billionaire have a huge weeding in India way can’t he spread his wealth around ? we don’t need more Indians in Canada we have more then enough already my parents came to Canada in the 70s for there dr degree and had good jobs know people coming to study don’t really study just us it as a loop hole that’s the real problem. And they all go to Brampton Trudeau messed up immigration big time. The numbers of immigrants coming in is to high. They should have did this 10 -20 years ago to little to late. We don’t need more Uber drivers. It’s going to take years for the numbers to go down the houses are still to high things are to expensive

Hi sir, I have a question for you, I am confused can you please help me out.\nI am in Canada right now, I came in May and am doing a business administration course, it's been almost 8 months, I have completed my study and my course ends in Dec 2025 which includes a 4 month break. Soz my brother is in Germany, he has been living there for almost one year in a study permit, now he is convincing me to move to Germany from Canada, because he is saying I am alone there, if you will come it will be helpful for both of us. So I am just wondering if it's okay to move there or not because I have to start from scratch in Germany too.\nCan you please suggest me.\nWhen I was in India', I have been watching your videos since then, and your information, your knowledge, acknowledged me. It will be very helpful if you suggest me.\nThanku

I came to Canada in 2019 and Back in the day Christmas, and Halloween used to be so fun but now not anymore because of multi culture. Everything unique about Canada start dying. Just like the movie back in the day are so good. But now everything become woke.

So here is how things will move on going from here, and this goes for people reading the comments. And full disclaimer I live in Victoria, BC so I can share my POV from the Canadian side:\n\nThere's toomuch of low skilled cheap labour coming in from Punjab and other countries like Nigeria, Philippines, etc. Its gotten sooo bad now that even Indians living in Canada are feeling like this is not what we came for.\n\nI can't even start with how bad the immigration has gotten, people can barely and I mean barely speak English and they are working for all possible low skilled jobs. Tim Hortons, Uber delivery, Uber Cabs, Petrol pumps I mean what is going on.\n\nRight now its getting to Canadians, and you need to understand that Canadians need these low skilled jobs for themselves too but employers are finding extremely cheap labour from other places to replace Canadians.\n\nSo if you ask me this move is good, it will surely hurt the skilled labour class too but its needed. Imagine have a million immigrants coming in with a country that has a population of 40 million.\n\nThe infrastructure comes to a stand still, housing is ruined, food inflation begins. \n\nHonestly thanks to Diploma mills, Asylum seekers and gangs from Punjab, its honestly gotten bad from the Indian perspective. Now add to this others coming in from Africa and South East Asia and you can see this country get worse honestly.\n\nThis isn't hate against anyone, its just facts.

No we came here for the passport. Once we got it. We dont need anything else cause what does Canada actually have to offer.

I also came to Canada in 2006 as an immigrant with my 2 bags and started my new life with empty handed which almost all Indians had started on their time. Yes it’s very hard to adopt other cultures 100% for first generation. But have you think how this new immigrants have their own house and good jobs or business. Why their kids achieved higher education without any loan because their parents worked 7 days without looking around so called culture. They believe in work hard and focus on their family and kids and in extra time visit temple or Gurudwara just to keep live their believes. Do you know how many places where you find 3 times free hot food for everyone in Brampton at Gurudwara and Temple without looking at his originality. \nDon’t think the immigrants are coming here are poor in their country or helpless like refugees. Most of are millionaires in India but in Indian culture the stupid thoughts is to earn for next 7 generations so because of that greediness they work here 7 days and that’s why they are not homeless. As they have some values of their Indian culture they have not drug addictions.\nNot 100% Indian are good and loyal or honest. There are few which you can find in any culture or religion.\nSo in bottom line immigrants are here because of govt policies and invitations. They are not came as refugees. You can’t forced anyone where they have to stay and in how many percentage. Many people don’t live in GTA or ran away from GTA because they can’t afford house and can’t stand in competitive market. Government should skilled own citizen or make more powerful before invite highly skilled immigrants from other countries otherwise new immigrants will take jobs from original and that will be continued with us too.
