Go home!! You costing us all money. We don’t want you here.

They now are costing our country resources and lots of money doing this. They are obviously a problem not to mention they are trying to break our laws and haven't even stepped foot here. Unbelievable ?

Twenty years ago in Toronto, a one-bedroom apartment could be rented for around $700 a month. Today, a similar apartment costs between $2,500 and $3,000 per month. The government should regulate housing market investments to prevent the pursuit of profits at the expense of ordinary people. \nWith the large influx of immigrants of all kinds, there is increasing pressure on families and individuals to rent or buy housing. For instance, in one neighbourhood, a house has been fitted with two bunk beds per room, with the owner charging $500 to $700 per bed. One can only imagine how many people live in that house and what it looks like in the summer when everyone gathers in the backyard. \nIf the government fails to regulate immigration to align with the real needs of the economy and housing market, what’s next? May people be forced to rent a bed for just eight hours of sleep or resort to living in sheds or makeshift plastic tents on the streets? \nAnd when the economy takes a downturn, leaving people with no income, what will happen then?

Many companies are laying off workers for economic reasons while prioritizing international students and temporary workers over Canadians because they can pay them lower wages. Now, in this time, qualifications, experience, and performance stopped mattering. \nHow does the government expect Canadians to pay their bills, household expenses, and other costs in such a chaotic job market? How can Canadians compete with temporary students living in overcrowded rented houses, where multiple bunk beds are crammed into each room, and landlords charge $500 to $700 per bed? \nWhat measures will the government take to address this growing crisis?

How much is all of this costing tax payers?

50 to 70 percent of migrants are farmworkers in the US. They pick the food you eat. At a low cost. Wait til you see your grocery bill in the future. Who will pick the crops? Americans? lol

There goes another couple a million dollars spent to process the illegal alien's and send them back in 4 years It costs Canada 1 billion dollars a year all of this.

One signature is all it took. ONE! it didn’t cost billions. ONE FFING SIGNATURE!

Cost is high. Adapt to that culture ?

Its not just an employer issue though, these corporations see dollars, the rest of us see taxes, overflowing school,s lack of teachers, lack of translation supports, lack of hospital systems, lack of housing , food bank runs as wages cannot support cost of living, homelessness crime and drug use. Disruption of neighbourhoods with 10-15 people piling into suburban homes and messing it up. They should not be here until the foundations are set. What new infrastructure is planned by these departments and on whose bill? Is it started yet as constructions are 5 years out . There is literally no long term joint plan here , just hoard type mentality. A failure at all levels of join thinkng in this government. And now its gonna get worse.

No matter the cost, we can never allow Trudeau to cross our border.

I got laid off after 10 years of work. \nI lost a job opportunity because the employer decided to hire someone with a work permit instead for cost savings.

Here in Québec I have two doctors, a GP and a psychiatrist and it doesn't cost me anything to see one.

Close the border we have too many already and Canadians are suffering with no doctors hospital care shortage of housing rise of costs on everything. No more we can't handle what we have, Trudeau made these promises to immigrants only to make them and Canadians suffer.

I had 3 children and it didn't cost me anything and because of government benefits I actually received $1500 due to the government benefits

Out of control immigration drives up the cost to buy and rent houses, same issue here in Australia.\nWe can't builld enough houses in Australia to meet the demand. Many building companies went out of business when the price of materials increased but their contract price couldn't.\nCashed up immigrants who can afford higher prices effectively drive locals away from places to live. Homelessness is increasing in Australia.\nThe government then tries to build more social housing and pays the builders higher prices than a person building a private house can afford, which continues to increase the construction cost spiral. We now have $1M+ houses being built for people on welfare who only have to pay a maximum of 25% of their income, and that income is given to them by the government. People are better off being unemployed and living off government benefits and housing than to have a job paying less than $100k/yr.

I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for...

My American friends paid $25,000 for their first child. In Toronto our first cost $28. That was $4 a day for 7 days of TV!

Germany can take all of them.we will bear the cost of flight tickeks

I'm guessing your friend who gave birth for the cost of $3000 had no complications and good insurance, because from what I've read, the cost without insurance is between $30,000 and $50,000 which is insane to me. As for emerg wait times - I live in a small town in rural Alberta & have never had a problem. Recently had to go to emerg. Was triaged, saw Dr., had xrays & was given Rx. Was in and out in 30 minutes and of course I paid nothing out of pocket. I feel pretty lucky to live here.

I was in the Missouri when i got sick. I drove home and was diagnosed with a brainstem tumour. 10 hr surgery, 4 surgerical teams, icu, wks hospitalization. Months of rehab and homecare. The school even arranged a cab to take my 5 yr old to school. I have seen bills for pts who didn't make it home and had to have surgery in the US before being repatriated back to the icu i worked. It was an eye opener to see what they were charged for a box of kleenex, a catheter, an iv bag etc. I would have lost everything if i had to have surgery in the US. \nMy sister is currently in hosp in the US, and she is getting good care. I drove down last time she was in, and i was impressed by the lovely large CCU bay, but, hey patients are paying for it. She had a fancy postop CABG pillow to splint her chest when she had to coughed. It had a cute surgical heart on it. I am sure it cost $$. In Canada, we give our pts a regular pillow, some iv morphine and tlc when it hurts when they cough, no fancy cartoon pillow, but no bill either lol. She's a senior on medicaid so she's not going into massive debt or dying in her home to avoid going to the hospital.\n \nI have been travelling to the states since 1976 as a young child. I love the states, I have a lot of family there. My dad lived there until his death. My great grandma immigrated and died in Montana. I have never had a negative experience there in over 49 yrs, other than the old lady backed into my parked suv in the hobby lobby lol parking lot l\n\nA big plus in Canada, is paid Maternity/ paternity leaves and also caregiver leave. Your mom has a stroke or child has cancer you can take time off work to care for them with partial pay and not worry about losing your job

It’s not hard to understand. The US cannot and does not take care of its own poor and working class, and through 40 years of neoliberal policy has impoverished enough of its own people to no longer require much foreign labor. If Mexico wants you, stay there. The weather is better and cost of living is lower.

2.6 million immigrants enter the United States legally in 2023. 11 million immigrants entered illegally. So we are okay with a 2.6 million, it's the 11 million were not okay with. So let's say it cost $10,000 to deport an illegal. That's 110 billion dollars. We already have a 35 trillion dollar deficit. Close that goddamn border.

Who paying for these troops? National guards is a state costs. So states have to be reimbursed for this expense.

The USA is full and $36 TRILLION in debt. Housing costs are sky high. The cost of living is sky high. The CLOSED sign is on the door now.

All other countries are allowed borders and laws so what is this issue about? Furthermore the USA was paying for other countries borders. This is not about Trump this is the will of the people! My ancestors came legally, my wife came legally and it was very hard, took years and cost money! Do it legally!\n\nI spent the first 4 years of my relationship with my wife in separate countries. We saw eachother twice a year, and video calls each night. The thing is i understand because laws are in place. Now we have gangs taking over apartment complexs, who knows how many terrorists, and criminals. Do you know how disrespectful Biden policies are to people who who did things properly and legally are?

This is incredibly sad, I voted for Trump and I support him but seeing the human cost is heartbreaking.

Canada has no housing, no jobs and no doctors. Too many immigrants are destroying the country. Too many people too quickly. Now the cost of living is unaffordable, homeless people are everywhere, crime wave, drug epidemic. We don’t have the ability to accept more people there’s nowhere for you to live. I suggest you stay home. Please stop destroying our country.

?.... after one year Canada census show Toronto and surrounding boundaries gain over 3 million people, the # 1 influx of people in all of North America.\nSo let me get this straight your view of Toronto is different from millions and they're still coming?\nHow I gauge if Toronto is changing for the bad is simple.\nI walked a two mile radius of my home and what I see is improvement after improvement. And if I see dumping for example I call 311 and within 48 hours it's gone.\nOne thing I find very odd...for a country and city where cost of living the highest ever....why is everyone spending money improving their property...none are rundown.

Like you guys are complaining about things Canadians everyday are dealing. High costs of living,Cost of Food I myself work away from home hundreds of kilometres. You guys made the decision to come study here. Theres many other places to study. Lol.

India is a big country. Indians in America are the highest earning ethnic group for good reason. Their education and employment backs it up. However, the illiterate bunch that Canada imported from Punjab who by trade are farmers, truck drivers, taxi drivers and other labor intensive workers, is the reason why Canadians are pissed. The majority of the “students” barely speak English, which makes you wonder if the IELTS is even legit. Add the fact that cost of living is through the roof, Canada is a shitshow. The blame goes to: a. India b. Canada \n\nIndia is to blame for not having oversight over these so called “consultants” who help with immigration abroad. These agencies work with fake schools to allow so called students to emigrate. \n\nCanada is at fault for not doing their due diligence when issuing visas. Trudeau is a communist and single handedly destroyed Canada with his buddy, Jagmeet, by bringing all those Punjabis into Canada. Those Punjabis belong on a farm or driving a truck in India, not in Canada. Smart Indians want nothing to do with Canada now and this in turn will hurt Canada grow as a nation.

Actually indians should stop travelling to Europe as it is very costly and not cost bearable. The international airport s do not provide drinking water as it is provided at the Indian airport. They charge 4 to 5 Euros for a bottle of water, which we do not know before travel. We should travel to our friendly countries and avoid UK & european countries.

Indians are hypocrites. It costs an arm and a leg ($590) to be precise to get an indian visa from Nigeria and we are rejected alot. This amount is more than a schengen visa by more than half. Its crazy. I actually blame my fellow Nigerians that wanna travel there and i don't care for the reason. I rather go to Afghanistan that $hit-dia.\nYou guys are racist yet you mourn about racism.

What I pay in taxes every year is a lot less than what health insurance in the US would cost for my family

It’s Prime Minister is an idiot who destroyed the economy making everything cost double and more.

India’s own visa policies are no easy for the outside world. The cost is at par in many cases even more than a Schengen or UK tourist visa. So there is parity in terms of visa requirements.

I worked in India for 6 years and then shifted abroad for a Masters, and now I am pursuing a fully funded PhD. In the UK, what I have observed is that the crop of students arriving from India are by the day lesser inclined towards studies and more in pursuit of the quick buck. Yes, getting a ‘UK based work experience’ is necessary to build the edge to compete against the wider international students post graduation and I have myself worked part-time in profiles which complimented my course in parallel to prioritising studies. However, the increasing trend amongst the masses (I do not want to generalise but yes this is unfortunately true and especially from certain states, the case is magnified: Read Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Telangana) remains getting that student visa to earn quick buck to support themselves financially, chiefly, save up to dole out to so called ‘assignment writers’ which helps them pass the course to further graduate and transfer to a grad visa (again comes at a cost) which allows them 2 years worth of stay with no working hour stipulation post graduation. Thereon, work full time in laborious jobs with again not focussing on applying to full time opportunities in the field of study. Thus, what remains at the end of the day is lost time and opportunity and since I am only talking of people who come here on a Student VISA so primarily, the opportunity cost lost to upskill and further horizons. For the country’s perspective, getting cheap, skilled labour for an unskilled job is obviously an advantage but then there are cases of students not respecting their working hour restrictions, vandalising, bickering loudly, joining hands with the already operating extremist forces which instigate violence and hatred etc. In all, I think the resistance to not becoming bicultural which is a product of serious mental and physical toil and wasting time in frivolity is the main cause of the anti-immigration wave.

New zealand already made it known they wont be taking in. The cost of living and housing is so unaffordable look it up.

Ms. Sharma please do not MISLEAD + CONFUSE viewers in name of Nationalism.\n\n\nIf it is news worthy, I think PM office should RETURN the favors to ALL these countries and stop issuing VISAS.\n\nAs far as I know [and i can be corrected] visa fees are on a equal footings [in terms of cost] . But ofcourse, if fewer people apply for Indian visa revenue for Indian government woll be lower.\n\nPlease understand the subject matter and then report it and NO DISINFORMATION or MISINFORMATION. We have TOO MUCH OF THAT.

Stay in your country and contribute your work in nation building. I am indian myself and at any cost i would prefer myself to stay in my country and I'll contribute my little effort in nation building, not to roam around the glob for money greed. And why should other countries welcome you? They jave their own people and you are going there snatching job of native people. Stay in your country and make it beautiful with your little effort.

the root cause is illegal immigration and the root cause of illegal immigration is inflation, either people needs to be paid more on par with western countries or the cost of living must reduce to the point, people think working in India is far better to make money. \n5th economy you say but sadly it doesnt translate to the 90% people of this country, At this point even if India is world number economy still 90% of the will struggle to meet their ends. So when the per capita income increase the passport power will also increase. There solution to the problem.

A group of 10 will travel together and they will all share one hotel room. There's your answer. Host countries want their tourists to spend money not add cost. Palki always has excuses. Blind nationalism and propaganda.

No matter how much Europeans reject the Indians but still some Indians will go. No matter the cost. No matter the rejection.

Here is an idea. New immigrants cannot buy one way flights. Their return flight cost is averaged on the high end, payed and held by the government and can only be redeemed on a return home flight with an expired visa.

I sympathize and relate to this situation so much. I will always love my home and native land, but I don’t miss the struggle of living there. I had a good job, but everything I made went to the cost of living and I had very little left over to do anything worthwhile. I left in 2019 and it’s even more desperate there now after the COVID pandemic. I miss Canada, but I don’t miss the struggle. I hope you are all doing well and living happy lives wherever you are ♥️

Thank you for the video. I'm 33 and Partner is 30, graduating soon from his PhD. We love Canada and everything about it but weather. However, we feel increasingly bored with life here despite the fact that we live in downtown Toronto. So we think of moving to Europe or US, haven't decided yet. Depends on jobs, cost of living and crime rates.

Companies get a kick back from government for hiring them. It saves them in the thousands in labour costs. It feels like we are living in India.

Yeah they may have small business but they have to be vetted and with the courts approval if they want this hear and been approved rhey will have to pay a fine because it is illegal to cross into this country illegally.second part the will have to pay back taxes . They will have to get green cards this will be a great cost and if they cant psy then they need to be deported asap

Why di t they speak r lingo rhey r hear in ur country learn English.u wa nrmt to take r jobs and r resources r we to let u just walk all over us we have laws u must follow them if we let everyone slide through them why do we have them in the first place ? The illegal immigrants steal ,kill, rape ,sell drugs and guns ,prostitution ,they steal from stores only to sell what they stole in rhe other sude of town causing several store to close so now rhe Americans now have to travel far to get food and other items because they want .what about what we want ? We r Americans we have rights and we want all the illegal immigrants the hell out of this country we can not support then just leavhing off us and getting free stuff this will mot happen rhis is costing way to much money for them to just stay hear and screw us out of jobs and resources illegal immigrants ur time is up pack ur bags ur going to be deported good bye
