What if someone does not get a job in six month to a year in Canada?? Does the Canada government give any aid for unemployment etc??

I didn't hear anything about what he was seaking refuge from. Was it economic ? Refugee status is not for economic reasons. And what Canadian is on an unemployment line that would be able to feed his family with the job he took, illegally ?

Considering you only have to have a student or work visa and say you are going to apply for citizenship and have a bed and breakfast or rent rooms to buy a house in Canada. Also rather than having our housing market correct for average Canadian to purchase he wants to increase immigration to keep our housing market up his words. And those poor people being sold Canada are coming into a Country with huge unemployment.

They also wait months for simple surgeries...and their taxes and unemployment are sky high...don’t skip the important stuff.

so even if i dont have a job offer in canada or india i can apply for PR even if unemployed?

Dont go to canada..its super expensive with no jobs...lot of unemployment + exremely harsh weather..indians get $10 per hour while monthly expense is around $2500-3000

Now where-Oh-WHERE did José get the Idea that he could just illegally walk into Canada from the U.S., from which he and his family came to be, illegally!? \n\n95% of the immigrants coming into Canada from the U.S. are under some type of deportation threat, so they come into Canada. The trouble is when 50k come into Canada in less than 3yrs, it overwhelms Canada's Social Welfare System, what to do with Canada's own homeless, unemployed, uneducated, sick,....Add the recession/Whuflu and it's a perfect storm.

Who are blaming for racial profiling, Canadian people? Maybe these racialized groups have showen more trouble in all areas of lives like higher unemployement rate, drug use, criminality, slums... Dont blame those business owners, property managers etc. as they are just trying to make the right choice

I learned several years ago during a time of unemployment that our EI centers are not for us, they are for immigrants. Not one service was for me, but if I was an immigrant, the entire world opens up including lots of financial support, they will even help you open a business. Yet we are the ones paying into it.

hardware stores and walmart may be the only stores left. maybe we should protest these stores closing because it will contribute to the rise in unemployment. to save a few dollars may not be such a great thing when people are fired 2.1 million at walmart alone thats approx 41,000 per state can the state's unemployment benefits sustain that. look what happens when 2,000 per state are unemployed. employers are only concerned with profits we should be concerned with the workers. damn saving $20.00 a month. if we look at just our personal profit margins we're all going to pay in the end.

Don't do jobs just sitback and relax, Life is not the race. Canada govt will give unemployment conveyance.

Maybe he can go there when he's unemployed.

Syrians in Norway get 2000 euros per month Unemployed Norwegians who have worked before for 20 years get 1400euros per month

Can someone explain to me I didn’t get the dollar amounts, 9000 a person?\nWhat’s this done to get unemployment from the government in someway? \n\nFrom what I understood all these people wanted was double citizenship so they can leave to Canada anytime from China

Freaking Chinese...millionaires and reaking in unemployment benefits from our pockets!!!! Get them all out!!!!!

Taking work that should be done by a natural Albertan, he's doing unskilled work any citizen could do better, in an economy with rising unemployment, he should be deported and El Salvador should be paying the bill

free to choose ..well? we need them to find a job! and how do they do that when they look like a black post box. yet they are happy to troop to our hospitals like blind bats demanding to be treated by a female doctor who is in work! These lot will always live on state handout coz they are educated in islamic studies and useless to the system. Totally unemployable in any sector hooded. Wouldnt serve me in any industry thanks

Beacause I face the problem of unemployment so please help me

how much taxes do they pay? I was in California and they don't have to get a license but they drive cars with no plates on them. In taxachusetts i know a guy who got in an accident with a truck that was driven by an illegal...he did not have a license and they let him go...the company that owned the truck paid. They get more benefits than us and they pay no taxes. I was unemployed once and had no health care. every place I applied refused me health care so at the end of the year I had to pay a penalty for each month I didn't have health care. What penalty do they pay? I am discriminated against for being a poor white american citizen. This country is a joke and I wish I was never born here.

People feel if they can eliminate another their life might finally fall in place. Hurt people hurt people. I say things that are not right but I’m learning not to, I put myself in the other person shoes. mPeople will eat(cook their food in a restaurant)from somebody of color but want live or sit next to them. Now that don’t make a hill of sense when the stomach is the most important, it can mysteriously poison. We all in this together. Stop letting Satan divide you into thinking you winning when you aim at someones homeland or color. Nobody really stays in the place they were born. Even in the Bible they travel. We all needed up. Everybody, every race has that one child molester, jailbird, crazy person, sducidal, drug, thief, user, unemployed,....in their family. \nBesides God made the boutique of race and it’s not monotone...,.its beautiful. Nobody woke up and chose the color they are. What is minority to you is superior to God. Tell him how you feel to his face about his decision to make all sorts of people. See how your life goes after that. YEAH

I appreciate your views .A request from me one thing please dont give up your citizenship.\nPlease try to do something for unemployed indian brothers. \nWe are thankful to you for remittance. \nJai indian diaspora

A guy with $14 per hour giving a lecture... Lewis's model of growth and development proves true in case of labour migration because it's good for them rather being in disguised unemployment or unemployed. This nasty guy feel proud of making $3000 per month which is just above minimum wages in Canada. Poor uneducated unskilled migrant labour. Regarding returning to India, please DO NOT come to India, for next 30 years India need quality and highly skilled workforce and not the shit (specially the woman).

india is good for rich ppl , bollywood stars,famous cricketers n politicians...others r living a hell life... unemployment, underpaid work,pollution, population,worst education system, caste, riots,corruption etc

its not just a paradise in canada. it's a dangerous game too. crime has risen 25% up and so does unemployment. GTA isn't so ready to deal with sudden influx of newcomers. If you look at the statistics on ont.gov.ca its 100k every year, now it's 250k a year in Ontario. it's a open ground for theft, robberies, frauds, pollution, spreading bacteria and virus and bugs from another country, and more.

Tax payers are going to pay for it so he dont care. Whats thier unemployment numbers?

Another example of the idiots that think their racist opinion or raging in a public place makes them right and immune to karma in this age of cellphones and worldwide internet.\nEnjoy being a unemployed Canadian, big mouth.

I feel sorry for poor ppl on the 3rd world...but if everyone who wanted to come here did the USA would turn into a shithole...we already have millions of unemployed ppl.the rest of the world need to get their shit together...

yup. It would be really difficult to immigrate to Alberta now. Our unemployment rates at ridiculously high, our provincial deficit is out of control, and our main resource is showing few signs of actual recovery. It's probably the worst province to attempt to move to. This is a sad story, and it breaks my heart, but I definitely understand why cases like this are so common.

You are not a Muslim Canadian you are Canadian \nYou are not FRENCH Canadian you are Canadian\nyou are not African Canadian you are Canadian\n\nand so forth and so on....end of discussion you are only CANADIAN,\nyou don't create a diverse society by segregating yourself out from the start.\n\nI was born in Germany I left with my parents because of quality of life and unemployment..... I am now Canadian and I don't go calling myself German Canadian.....I respect my background and heritage but its not what I am today.

I have recently filled out many government documents related to my recent unemployment. They all ask if I am native, female, new to Canada or part of a visible minority. The forms to do with education ask the same. Essentially what they are telling me is that there is lot's of help available unless I am a white male. This is discrimination under the charter of rights and freedoms. Cover that CBC!

Muslims that wear the burqua are unemployable, except possibly working for another Muslim in a business with Muslim customers. They will NEVER fit in.  WHY come here? You will always be an oddity. You may be a nice person but how will we ever know?

Everywhere where they are so. Look in Europe\nThey're all going to live for free ... (2% of them are really only want to work). And the entire population of Europe is already tired ,especially in small towns. Living on the live on Hala,unemployment benefit - all Arabic script.. Dictate their conditions. Why is my child required to study Islam! If he is Catholic?\nGet the back all in the desert... And there with towels on their heads walking

Islam is a vile, pernicious ideology that has considerably eroded the quality of life in all Western countries it has come in contact with. It has led to the mass rape of local children (think Britain and Australia), terrorism, and general disdain toward non-believers. At the very least, even if the majority of Muslims are moderate (and numerous polls have shown otherwise), they exhibit disproportionately high unemployment rates and are significant recipients of welfare relative to other groups, so I certainly do not see any economic rationale behind mass Muslim immigration either. We must stop importing Islam into our great nation before it is too late. I commend the few politicians who have had the common sense and audacity to speak out in this regard.

There are nutters in every community !...these guys dont have a clue about religion !!\nI am sure these handful guys are unemployed .

nearly a third of under 35 year old muslims in the uk are unemployed (1stethical)\n

Unemployed uneducated men trying to preach morals....go get elected if you wan't to make a change....UK needs to wake up to those dangerous nutters ....
