The immigration file has been completely botched and mishandled by an inept and very stupid government. Mass immigration without a plan for increased housing, medical staff, infrastructure help, or even increased staff at immigration centres, etc. is madness, and chaos has ensued. I studied in India for several years, and was careful to respect Indian culture vis a vis dress codes, learning Hindi, and behaviour. It is only normal courtesy to do so. It becomes more difficult when numbers increase drastically over a v. short period of time since people coming here are not widely exposed to Canadian culture. This completely inept and corrupt government needs to go: like yesterday. I think of myself as anti-racist, but when I go for a medical test and see that 95% of patients appear to be of middle-eastern origin, while I haven't been able to find a family doctor for 10 years, I do get a little irritated. And I'm a boomer; younger people in Canada are competing for education, jobs, housing, as well as medical care, so I can understand people becoming angry. I think that currently this backlash is against the government, not immigrants, and not one community in particular. I am cynical enough to think that this government went for mass immigration because they have no economic plan for prosperity, and bringing in several millions would raise GDP. But percapita GNP has been falling for 8 quarters, so we are definitely in a recession. I think Trudeau did this so his economic incompetence would not be obvious. Anyway, that's my appeal: we should be upset at a government that caused this chaos, not at individual immigrants nor a specific community.

How is it different if a foreigner demands citizenship in India , obviously India would say get the f**k out.

HELL YES, YOU WILL GO... YOUR NOT CANADIAN... NOR OR ARE YOU OUR PROBLEM.\nYOUR HOME IS INDIA.... GO BACK TO INDIA!!\nCANADIANS ARE GOING TO GET THEIR JOBS BACK... WE NEED NOT TO HIRE FOREIGN WORKERS OVER CANADIANS

So get he muslims if you can't stand indian people who are not a problem . Renember Bangladesh is another muslims country and they have nothing to do with India.

Every good for nothing Tom, Dick and Harry goes to Canada and Australia. Their extended family in Punjab, Hyderabad and Gujarat think that they are very smart. They were good for nothing in India and will be good for nothing in such countries too. It's so easy to get PR. Canada and Australia gives PR like distributing peanuts. USA has chain migration and allows substandard people through Canada on some easy visa. Anyone's kid who us born in the US becomes a citizen. Undocumented/ 3rd world Asylees gets free money from hard working tax payers. Everywhere politicians are just creating mess to get votes.

Lucky you are you don't have as many from muslims countries like in the United Kinddom or would you like to have from muslims countries only ?. Canada was advertising jobs there years ago. You keep saying the same thingall over again and again .Get the muslims to your country if you dislike India people so much . This problem with masive inmigration is happening in many part of the world. Here in Chile we have ilegal inmigrants from Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Bolivia, Perú, Ecuador, el Salvador, Onduras and with it came the organized crime.

India seems to own every liquor store now for some reason, even though most of them don't drink, and know nothing about wine. Sad times in Corruptistan. I live in Calgary for now (leaving soon and can't wait to get out) so I only booze shop at Spirits of Willow Park although I assume they will sell out to India soon....

I find it hard to feel any sympathy. I know several young ppl who couldn’t get summer jobs because the Indians get them all. Universities are just a money making business these days. Hopefully word will spread back in India and they’ll think twice before coming here. Fix your own country instead of r@ping mine.

India has to seriously relook at the school education system. None of the subjects talks about ethics, following rules empathy etc. As the kids getting older the ‘chalta hai’ mentality rules their brain.

I am an Indian, but I don’t agree with these protests. You are a student. Get your education and then make your career. You can’t expect a foreign country to be obliged to give you a job as well. There are a lot of opportunities in India. So, why not come back and work in India? If you are good, an Indian MNC will send you Canada or any other foreign country at its own expense. The education loans are for education. I appreciate that there will be implicit expectation that getting a job in Canada will help pay that loan back quicker, but as a student you can’t demand that. You got to respect the law of the country.

STUDENTS ARE NOT IMMIGRANTS, STOP ABUSING CANADIAN KINDNESS!!! BEING DISHONEST WILL NOT GET YOU IMMIGRATION, RATHER DEPORTATION!!! IF A CANADIAN GOES TO INDIA WITH TEMPORARY PAPERS, INDIA WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO USE DISHONEST MEASURES TO STAY IN INDIA!!! WAKE UP INDIAN STUDENTS AND STOP YOUR ILLEGAL WAYS TO STAY IN CANADA!!!!!

India's GDP is twice that of Canada's, in 1.5 decades it will be 6-8x. Canada is a good place to have a enjoyable/comfortable life but the place where you can get rich is India. India will always have a massive market that keep growing at least in the short-medium term. There is going to be endless momey to be made in India.

The scammers getting scammed. We need sanctions on India +15% the estimated scams from India.

I can't get over how demanding and needy they are. They are not at home in India with their parents anymore, be smart or pay the price.

I went to visit Niagara Falls last weekend after 6 years, I swear I thought I was in India. All I saw were indians, all I heard was their language, loud indian music blasting in cars, on the streets, everywhere. Me and my boyfriend were playing a game to spot other people than indians, because it was that bad. Dont get me wrong, I love multiculturalism but this is not proportional and it’s not right.

INVADING SUB SPECIES CRAPPING ALL OVER OUR PROVINCE GET THEM OUT BACK TO INDIA

Why are so many International students especially from India saying their immigrants they're not immigrants they are students get that through their your skull

Jokes, jokes, jokes. You are here for studying. Finish your education and go back to your home country. All of the students must be deported asap. Indians are very proud of their country India, why are they trying to get PR in Canada.

EDIT: UPDATE. And then there is this....\n\nRamanpreet Singh, a 25-year-old man from Brampton is charged with: \n \nPossession of Property Obtained by Crime (3 counts) \nFlight from Peace Officer \nDangerous Operation (Of a motor vehicle)\n(This is lenient. The charge should rightfully be Reckless Endangerment of a Police Officer) \nObstruct Peace Officer (In an arrest) \nPotentially damaging a Canadian Landmark and/or Treasure (Tim Hortons) - I added this. Life sentence.\n\n\nBut you guys are nothing if not entertaining so enjoy for yourselves: \n\nhttps://youtu.be/NgrutzeSuI0?si=DaW5iBWweG3SsawX\n\nStill not embarrased? Haven't whet your appetite for whole-heartedly becoming Canadians?\n\nBut wait, there's more....\n\n\nOriginal post:\n\nFirst, well done. That must have been hard. Now, you are beginning to see. What you are doing is necessary.\n\nTruth is often harsh. Yes the Canadian government were ill prepared for the ramifications of their decisions. But they do not owe you anything. You have also neglected to mention small details. Details which I presume, must seem normal to you from life in India: \n\nDetails like, as a peaceful nation that embraced multiculturalism, Canada has never in recent memory had an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) shatter the peace of how we choose to live. The events in Mississauga's Bombay Bhel restaurant in 2018. That is UNACCEPTABLE. Assimilate to our culture and peaceful norms or get out. \n\nDetails like, being a nation that pays heavy taxes we value transparency in our political leaders. So no matter how we feel about our Prime Minister, when Justin Trudeau calls out the Indian government in assissination of one of their own people on sovereign Canadian soil, we tend to believe him. That is UNACCEPTABLE. Stand up, grow a spine, accept and be accountable or get out.\n\nDetails like, protesting the reduction in international student quotas and demanding extensions of the PGWP post graduate work permits. Protesting government decisions is the right of Canadians only. As visitors you simply do not have the right. That is UNACCEPTABLE. Comply or get out.\n\nDetails like, public display of fighting in the streets. Gatherings in large numbers at private homes and venues. Further defecaton at gas stations. The carrying of swords (not ceremonial kirpans or daggers - less than 12 inches long) to these protests. That is UNACCEPTABLE. Do it and we will put you out.\n\nDetails like, illegally crossing into the United States. Our long-time allies and friends to the South. Crossing in such large numbers as to exceed migration levels at their Southern border from Mexico. Making our political counterparts in the United States doubt our ability to govern our own country and mitigate threats from terrorists. This too, is UNACCEPTABLE. \n\nThese hostile, desperate and oppurtunistic ways are not how we choose to live in Canada. We are hard working and given an honest job, which some of you now occupy, do an honest days work. We have a long history of peace but also a reputation for upholding it. Tread lightly and learn if you value this country as your home.

indians are COMPLETELY AWARE THEY ARE DESTROYING ANOTHER PEOPLES COUNTRY....INDIANS ALONE ARE COMPLETELY TO BLAME FOR ALL OF THIS .INDIANS HAVE THISER OWN COUNTRY WHICH THEY HAVE DESTROYED COMPLETELY ALL BY THEMSELVES....NOBODY WANTS INDIANS IN THEIR COUNTRY . BECAUSE THEY DESTROY EVERYTHING.....THEY HAVE PROVEN THIS IN THEOR OWN ONCE BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY......INDIANS HAVE NO SELF CONTROL AND ARE COMPLETELY RACIST AGAINST WHITE HUMAN BEINGS.INDIANS NEED TO HEAL THEMSELVES AND THIER OWN COUNTRY ....BEFORE THEY ARE EVER ALLOWED TO MOVE TO ANOTHER OCUNTRY....THEY NEED TO EVOLVE SOCIALLY AND EMOTIONALLY AND STOP ABUSING THEIR FEMALE PART OF THEIR POPULATION WITH RELIGOUS CULTS. BELIEFS THAT MARGINALISE AND ABUSE FEMALES.. THEY NEED TO STOP INCEST AND INBREEDING AND START GETTING BIRTH CONTROL AND POPULATION CONTROL INSTILLED INTO THEIR SOCIETYS IMMEDIATELY...OVER BREEDING AND MARGINALISING OF FEMALES ALWAYS DESTROYS EVERY CULTURE NO MATTER WHAT COLOUR PPEOPLES SKIN IS...INDIANS NEEDE TO STOP PRACTICING POLYGAMY, BIGAMY, WOMEN ABUSE AND STOP POLLUTING THE OCEAN AND INDIA ITSELF.....INDIANS HAVE A SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT THEY HAVE NOT EVER EARNED THE RIGHT TO LIVE IN AN ORDERED CLEAN LIVING RESPECTFILLED SOCIETY BASED ON TRUE EQUALITY BETWEEN SEXES ....INDIANS NEED TO HEAL AND FIX INDIA BEFORE DESERVING TO IMMIGRATE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD....GROW UP AND CLEAN UP YOUR OWN SOCIETYA ND COUNTRYS....RESPECT IS NOPT GIVEN FREELY..IT IS EARNED AND INDIANS HAVE GARNERED NONE FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD BASED ON THEOIR OWN TRACK RECORD AND HISTORY......if Indianas repair and heal their own country nd people they won't need to immigrate ....

This is a fraud on India too, the nation has a brain drain and has a hard time modernizing. The political instability is also de-stabilizing. All Trump has to do is demand the last 10 million immigrants will be tossed out-- and bingo-- he gets support.

Its post covid effect why india no other country citizens travelling media targeting indians only its not fair and someone what get shelter asylum to get plz media do fair content

We are our own problems in which Canada should address first Canadians first all other get in line India people can not come to Canada thinking that they will be first attended go back to your Country and let your government stand up for you we have no more room for you people in Canada we have been infested by you people go back home you are not welcomed in Canada

I like how easy it is to say I'm Canadian. I'm sure if you moved to China or India you wouldn't say I'm Chinese or Indian. Apparently anyone can be Canadian. Your not Canadian your a Canadian citizen. We are multicultural but this is getting out of hand. They took over our country without any bullets. The new people to our country are mostly nice and are good people but it doesn't feel like the Canada I grew up in anymore.

As a us citizen, we embrace diversity and imsure canadians do too. But when it gets too much from mass migration from india and china, its not so diverse anymore. Its basically like taking over a foreign country except no single gun shots are ever being fired. This is whats happening recently in toronto. I really do hope canada imposes some immigration restrictions on indian nationals cuz right now nobody would wanna visit canada cuz of this. THIS IS NOT DIVERSITY.

canadian govt needs investors to start businesses rather thn getting employees.. canada has lots of resources but no one to start any businesses..health care is falling bcoz there are no doctors.. y dont canadian govt get doctors from india rather thn getting cheap labours.. canadian govt needs to think wisely to save its economy

As an Indian I can tell you for sure that Punjab India is corrupt. They make fake asylums and get fake documents from Punjab. They also make fake Khalistani claims. In fact Canada should be aware that these guys might ask for there own country if they keep growing in BC area. I have to face racism and discrimination now despite being here for 40 years. Bring people who are loyal to Canada and will abide by its rules and contribute to the country. Yes I faced lot of hard ship here but I am thankful for what I have. I like to keep Canada diverse and glowing in success. Politicians have failed us. They have created same kind of problems in Europe. Not sure why we can get more strong minded politicians who have love for the country to make it great and keep it great. Jagmeet singh has a big hand in this liklely.

Sad only people from India get the permanent residence and the rest can go to hell. Such an unfair and disgusting treatment of other nationalities.

I love my india. But I feel very sad about the safety and security of women. I cant unsee it. Whenever i proudly says about india, i get the first question, its not safe there. And i dont have any answer

Canadians, Brit’s and Aussies are finally getting tired of their country’s looking like Africa, China, India and Pakistan. Does that surprise anybody? They see Islam spreading, and their fears are justified. It just took too long, and is likely too late. But it was a predictable outcome.

Actually, in India, people get into contract marriages especially in Punjab. The boy spends money for the girl to get study visa and then the boys applies for a WP.

I;m Indian and I love Canada though I have never been there - let me tell you what you did wrong. Canada let in 100,000 fake students mainly from Punjab, Haryana & Delhi. They are not students, they just want an easy way into Canada, get PR and then citizenship. They can't speak much English and they don't care. They want to spread as much as they can. There are fraud agencies in these areas of India that help them get fake documents and fake IELTS scores that get them to Ontario and join some two bit college in the province. And I have to say that there seems to be a huge bias in India as well as it seems in your government in letting Punjabis migrate freely, while the rest of us have to prove ourselves.\nI'm happy that Canada is toughening up but get rid of the fake ones that have already seeped in. Please!

There's an infinite supply of them, swamping the poor daft country and a problem is that, more than any other large migrant wave, they look back to their 'homeland' for generations and don't meld well. Even when they get themselves elected to a government position or an important bureaucratic one they go back to India for their triumph. \nMost annoying, though, is the racism implicit in their various competing cultures--most noteworthy in the managed status of women where they are often restricted against canoodling with non-Indian males while the Indian guys suffer no such restrictions. What's to like? No point beating your gums, though. Canadians were always bad at even basic math so, consequently, are now swamped.

if india is so grt why they dont get jobs in india

You hit the nail on the head! Well explained and I agree with you, me being Indian that came here almost 35 years ago, feel ashamed of the crap coming out of India. \n\nTrudeau is to blame for getting such crap into the country, Trudeau and Singh have destroyed Canada.

I live in the Swanton sector in Upstate NY, 5 miles south of the Canadian border. Our small town sees dozens of border crossers a day, many just wandering down our Main Street waiting to catch a ride to NYC. Several months ago, I approached a group of a dozen military age males, loitering around the gas station at the main crossroad in town. One male was on a cell phone trying to communicate with someone on the other end who was speaking very good English, meaning no perceivable accent. The cell phone male was unable to communicate with the person on the other end of the call (female voice). As I listened to the other members of the group talking, I heard several words and or phrases that sounded familiar to me (possibly Arabic). I was language trained in the military for Arabic. When I spoke to the men, their eyes lit up with recognition. They were all Muslims from Bangladesh. After several moments of chatting, I was able to discover where they were from, that they flew into Canada, were given a contact # to call after crossing and for them to make their way to NYC. My data is anecdotal but a majority of the migrants we’re are seeing here in Upstate NY are from Central Asia (India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh). Winter is quickly approaching here, and many who risk the Swanton sector route will not make it due to the extreme cold. Many of my friends who live outside of town, many farmers, are deeply concerned or frightened for the safety of their families. Many have had migrants approach their houses and attempt to gain access. Truly scary stuff. And it seems to only be getting worse.

Brampton is Number 2 outside of India ?? itself… NUFF SAID a.k.a BRAMLADESH….. a.k.a BROWNTOWN….. since the 1980’s man, get to KNOW Ontario bro…..?

dude, I think you are too busy smelling your own f@rts. I know so many people even before 2018 who were citizens of Canada and they could not find anything that pays more than 45K a year. Do you have any idea how expensive rent is in GTA? Are you telling me that those temporary workers took all those 50K jobs? LOL. The real problem is, Canadian corporations and government is sooooooooooooooo corrupt that they bring people from India on visitor visas and ask them to perform tasks that should be performed by highly skilled workers such as in high tech sector. No wonder our data is stolen so comfortably all the damn time. Besides that, corruption is so high that they deliberately kill any new ideas because that will inflate the salaries. So, those old fat rich SOBs will NEVER let young immigrants introduce new ideas, setup new startups and get frustrated and move to the US. I know so many people got frustrated and moved to the US because of MUCH better salaries. This place is sh!t and will always be sh!t because only sh!theads can live here. Canada's A team runs away from here.

Well I can't speak for other provinces \nBut pertaining to Schools particularly Edmonton specific school here are some Issues\n- The parents play can't speak English!!!\n( thought immigrants had to speak some form)\n- What about Indian families registering there kids when they don't live in area of registration\n- Having there kids fr Grade 1 to Grade 6 start school to only Pull them out because there going back to visit there country\n( Un Announced )..\nHow does that kid or kids get Education. \n- Very All over map as patents responsibility, late pick ups, living in crammed houses, from some Indian Slum Lord like what's Happening in Brampton that CBC news don't want yiu to hear !!!.\n- Most parents of Indian are VERY RUDE,\n( Youre in Our Country Not India, old saying is Kids raised as parents are, so right there is no need to have them hear).\n- They can't pay school fee's even though they somehow drive above Average $$ vehicles.\nIn my mind\nShut Down All Immigration, we can't take Anymorevinto Canada we are Overwhelmed!!!.\n- Let's talk about Idia Truckers Lol\nThat's a whole new Topic\nGet Rid Of Them \nShut there Trucking Buisness Down 100%.\nI've personally seen to semi trucks parked inline near 156\nAs I'm driving by the Owner Operators move to side as if talking Only to see # 2 Big Oil Patches under there Engines\nBecause this Dirty People Drop there Engine oil on Pavement!!!!\nSome are probably good\nBut Most should not be here, that goes with Other Ethnics also\nThey All Do Not Respect this Country \nLooks whats happening in UK\nJust Search\nUK immigrant Problems\nEspecially with\nPeople fr Middle East

The racism card gets pulled out so easily. But something I tell my Australian friends is this, if I wanted to be surrounded by Chinese? I would have moved to China but I moved to Australia to be in Australia. Same goes for India Sri Lanka etc. but of course you gonna say that's racist.. diversity and multicultural is fine, when there is a fine balance not a flood of one race... When migrants take our jobs that's not a good thing. You don't see Aussies flooding China and you don't see Aussies flooding India either.

Thats true but nowadays Canada getting poor as India ?

Get your facts right! No country is ɓanning India. Therefore, stop acting like a victim all the time and all these bs race cards even when the immigration policies of these countries apply to everyone.

That’s the right thing to do Mr Trudeau. STOP THE MIGRATION!!! This is getting too much people in ?? Canada. The population,the congestion, the traffic, building massive condos,townhouses, specifically in SURREY, BC,. it is overwhelming flocking people coming here in Canada from from India all over the world every day. Poor people spreading on the streets, no place to go the rent of apartments are rockets. People are on welfare etc. You did the right move. Stop taking people from the wars as well. Thank you, good day.?

What people don't understand including all mainstream and digital media is that it is too late because someone like me.\nA born and raised Canadian who worked establish a home almost paid it off. But because of the immigrants from India, dad have. Moved in to this complex and decided that because their demands to take over my parking stall. They have a right to harass me threatened my life.\nThey have convinced other neighbors that I am this horrible dark pervert. Racist drug dealer killer.\nAnd when I call 911. When they are all physically, confronting me. Not 1 person, not 2 people, a lot of The Times it's 3 or more. They have even come to my door banging on it. Confronting me on my own property. When I call 911, they tell me the Calgary city pigs tell me. Maybe you should move for your own safety. They obviously don't see the housing crisis. Just recently, when I called 911, they told me the Calgary city police told me to stay in my unit for my own safety. I am not free according to the charter of rights and freedom section 7. Everyone has a right to life, liberty. And security and should not be prohibited thereof however, I have no rights because I am disabled. I am not surprised because what people don't understand is that the government is trying to make. People believe that Canadians don't want to work. Back in 1992, after my college experience. I was able to get a placement in the unemployment office. Worked for them for free for one month. Which was part of the course?\nBut the government refuse to hire me, no explanation. I know why it was because I am. Blind and crippled and look like a freak. So don't tell me about immigration. They get treated way better than I have in this country for fifty eight years

I hear it’s so easy to get student visas in India for substandard colleges run by Indians in Canada

Yes, many Indian men have no manners. As an Indian woman, I have experienced this many times in India. \n\n1. Get into a queue at the bank and some men behind you will sneak their papers inside the cashier's window past you.\n2. Open the door of a building and some men will walk out while you are holding the door open. \n3. Try to enter a bus or a train and some men will push past you and take the best seats.\n4. If there are young girls, they will be groped by men in crowded buses, trains and metros.\n5. If travelling in local buses, you will see men urinating publicly at every stop.

I feel so bad being an Indian because of some people all Indian get this \nThese countries give us millions of opportunities but by using illegal ways they are spoiling India’s dignity\nIf you guys have power to build yourself and grow you can grow anywhere in the world \nThats so shameful ?

Another fact there is alot of illegal indian immigrants. Who also abuse international student program to get entry into canada not to study. The rise in crime has come from Indian immigrants. We had our airports robbed a canadian was robbed of there money and jewelry which is now in indian and dubai and these criminals left canada to theyre home countries. The indian international students have alot of money in the bank but theyre showing up to homless aid places where they canadians give homeless canadians food they show up there and droves with the 15 household members taking all the food then making youtube videos on how to get free food in Canada. And now these international students specially the ones from india. They are selling fentaly, there stealing citzens and business vehicles and kidnapping. You can look this up yourselfs. Its not canada its not government its these international students fault.

Indian’s come to our country for refuge. Now they change our traditions, get away with stuff no one else can. Like who’s behind all the stolen cars being shipped out to India. They come to our country, committing crimes, laughing at our justice system. They have more rights than the aboriginal people who were born here. That’s just sad. There’s gotta be a stop to this.
