And we don't treat them like the U.S. does (ice) Merry Christmas Canada 🎄🙏❤️

Am a christian from India, who had a PR back in 2013 and had traveled there for the paperwork. I traveled around Toronto for around 15 days and it was a lovely experience back then. All but the Indians I encountered treated me well, to the indians I was another competition for their piece of land (so as to say). I unfortunately didn't settle in Canada due to some family emergency and had to come back to India for good, but on hind sight I think it was for the best, considering how bad the situation is in Canada. If one migrates to another country they should assimilate in the existing culture so that they can keep alive the very soul of the land they moved to, not try to make it another India...

Why bother? The USA has become unwelcoming. Treating everyone like a potential trouble.

If our government would have screen immigrants mybe we wpuld be treated better😢

Let’s go to America and get treated like we’re criminals. Yea no thank you I’ll pass.

There’s nothing down there I need to see or do that bad to be treated like a criminal

Import third world get treated like third world

It's getting more and more difficult to want to go on a nice trip. Between the long line ups to enter the countries, filling out paperwork, being treated like a criminal at the border it's not worth it. I can remember crossing a few years back before COVID my stomach would do flip flops waiting in the line and it should never be like that

Professional advice to cross the border? Easier to just not visit the States. Other countries treat Canadians far better. Up yours, Trump.

I just had a wonderful time in Anaheim. Our family was treated extremely well. Already planning our next trip😊

Canadians please take your business to Mexico, Cuba, Brazil, The Caribbean, Spain, Portugal, etc. Go where you are treated best.

Indians have no tolerance for their own minorities. Their religion and DNA is racist and caste based. Muslims and Christians are treated as untouchables. Even low caste Hindus are maltreated and considered unclean like minorities. Just imagine Canada becoming a caste society. Canada is ruined.

I'm born in Quebec, I moved in different provinces for work and when I came back, i was treated like an immigrant. Go figure

There's something missing here. I don't understand why people from abroad are being treated as though they are above and special. People from Canada don't even have clear pathways made for them to get wherever each of our aims are. What about investing in ones own citizens? What am I missing? The news presents these stories in an offensive way which fuels annoyance towards incoming. We know you're not a number but why do you have such an entitlement attitude, why do you think you deserve anything from us and why do you think you deserve to get when it means a Canadian will suffer?

I think it’s a rush decision. Canada needs skilled worker to fill labor shortage and should welcome people truly threatened by political persecution. The problem in Canada is treating large amount unskilled economical migrants as political asylum seekers.

Well, you Quebec will regret soon, including your economy. These decisions don't work like that. There will be maybe short-term benefits that will turn out against your economy pretty soon. Instead of sit down and see the best way of reducing useless imigrations, you guys are just shutting down plans generically and that will affect economy drastically. Good people, great workers, families that pays their taxes fairly and controbute every day on setvices and as consumers... I don't know man. The government seems to have hurt his legs and is now trying to fix It removing the leg instead of treating It.

CBSA treated me, a Canadian citizen and veteran, far differently.

Why are these white people so scared of becoming a minority in that city? Are minorities treated bad or something? Is that why they are scared? By the way, the 60-year-old man with the cap on backwards saying they pay no taxes, do you pay taxes? It looks like you can't even take care of yourself and pay no taxes yourself. Hypocrite.

I think we should provide more help and support for Canadians. I am an immigrant but it came be overwhelmingly. As long immigrants don’t break the law, it is OK. But I do believe our Canadian people are not treated fairly, they do feel left out.

The problem I saw about Indian immigrants is that they brought the bad side of their culture like dumping garbage anywhere. Don't get me wrong, Canadians do that too but the scale of disregarding rules and essentially laws in Canada is appalling. I saw a video of them literally shitting in beaches. I applaud those who are still promoting the good side in Indian culture like helping the needy and treating everyone as human beings regardless of your race, religion and origin.

Unless they are the majority like in Guyana or Mauritius, they always complain about discrimination. Take Fiji, Uganda, among others for example, and the audacity to ask why they were treated that way.

Genuine applicants, for study permit, work permit and PR, are suffering because of these scammers. The government is doing huge injustice to the genuine applicants because of them. People with authentic documents have been waiting for months and months and there is no response. The government is not only complicit in bringing them to canada but also in treating others unfairly without any reason

I am an Indian, I am working in india and have no plans to settle or even work abroad. I wouldve loved to visit canada but now I'm afraid I'll be treated poorly since I'll be judged by my looks, I will be a tourist of course but yeah.

If ure gonna stay in canada.. at least dont treat it like ur shit garbage dump country. have some respect

All these advocates of immigrants do not like immigrants in their country...Just ask those talking about love and exclusivity how they treat people of other castes and landless people in their country. This love inclusivity is all a facade. Want to watch reality see Dhadak 2 from bollywood or Shyam Benegal's movie.

I a, Pakistani let me tell why won’t assimilate it’s cuz you guys make fun of our accent and culture so we say is they can look down on us even if we assimilate why assimilate at all honestly it feels so good no need to speak French or English I only speak English at school even that is interrupted by speaking desi languages like Punjabi Hindi Urdu and others like we can integrate but never assimilate and also not to mention stereotypes you guys do on us so we just say if they gonna treat us negatively why not just take jobs and business we aren’t gonna be treated any better so why not make most out of it and why you guys mad other people have their own communities culture and language you guys were also immigrants not even immigrants but colonizers who literally gcided the natives also why you mad like they are successful and made their own community and support eachother that’s why they aren’t homeless they support eachother and are willing to compromise

I found it telling that Michelle confidently quoted the wrong number (79,000) and, when Aiesha corrected her with the accurate figure (47,000), she immediately switched gears to “Where are they?” rather than owning the mistake. That dodge makes me question her judgment. It feels like she’s leaning into fear‑mongering language that easily panics people who aren’t paying attention to nuance — which, sadly, describes most of this comment section. Also, did you see the reply to the Filipino student who voiced frustration? “You guys make up some of the most cleanest restaurants I’ve ever been to.” That kind of response speaks to a lack of respect for international students. To many in the Canadian workforce, international students and migrants are treated as disposable labor — steered toward low‑ and middle‑income jobs. Yes, fraud should be dealt with, but it’s lazy and unfair to claim that all Indians or international students come here through fraud. If that logic ruled, we’d have to start deporting every non‑Indigenous person — which ignores the whole reality of colonization.

Question: Can cockroaches be exterminated? Google: While difficult, elimination is possible with persistence, and a professional pest management service is recommended for severe infestations or difficult-to-treat situations.

You Indians will come here as doctors and nurses and vets and if you look at history and how these people treat one another or how they treat animals no wonder why we have what we have going on. I know Pakistani vets that will put down dogs on purpose but can I do anything about it? Nope. Thanks Trudy and carny

Oh no, we're being treated exactly like how we treated the native americans. How could this happen?!

These disgusting pigs have taken over my country! They are treated amazingly by our spineless government while the true indigenous Indian population is totally neglected and live in poverty on reserves. I am disgusted by what I see. These people are disrespectful and foul smelling pigs!

Do you think doing cash jobs will make you rich or something? These jobs are the jobs that no one in the right mind will do. The rates are pretty low and you will be treated like crap. People go to Brampton for cheaper rent. They start to make money usually they move out. We went to Scarborough for 3 months. Then moved to Mississauga and then to Toronto. Bought a house in Oakville and then sold that house and moved out West to Edmonton and then to Calgary. We now live in the States. So these things will happen to pretty much everyone. A few of them will stay in Brampton obviously.

Where did the point system go? Why is the canadian government not strict with fact-checking the documents being submitted by applicants? I thought Canada is stricter but I guess Indians are already treating it like the middle east where they can just pay the schools from their country to submit fraudulent papers saying they have a master's degree in computer science but when they start working, they couldn't even do proper coding!

the problem with people that immigrate to foreign countries - they think they are being treated unfairly because they pay higher fees. Most of people that immigrate for study dont know that the domestics get charged lower because their fees are subsidized.

Michelle Rempel Garner you are an embarrassment - Canada is NOT Trump land show some decorum and treat officials with respect. Some of your questions were ridiculous and simply for show. I worked as a Senior Advisor in 2 government departments and have been in Parliament many times. You can be an effective politician but don't act like a clown AND by the way I live in Alberta.

Yep it was long dead before any south asains . They treating you guys good right adjust like many native people today . Above we all need to human firstly. You also need to ask the question modi the real rss nationalist . I hoping the world becomes an better place over ego

Come to Canada and then vanish, awesome job Literals! Also great job on mass immigration of Muslims taking everything we worked for. Nice to see this shit government giving 3rd world countries everything for FREE, then treating us REAL Canadians like 3rd world garbage, awesome!

For a while I lived in a basement room in Brampton as I worked at the airport. Big beautiful house. I had small room with a toilet, neighbours down the hall, no fire exit, no windows... I ran into a deputy fire chief at a library and he said totally illegal but he had to look the other way .... Canadian government policy... There were about 20 people in that single family house... I was the only white guy in the neighbourhood ... They treated my well... Liberal Government brought large numbers to help facilitate the creation of the Klaus Schwab/WEF vision of the NWO... as they will support the team that brought them in unvettted. The Liberal thought is Canada is not a nation state... but part of that Globalists vision/agneda. I guess I might go to jail for saying that eh ????

I wonder if they discussed how when Indian students who unalive themselves in Canada, the deaths are not treated as such. There are many families who have the remains of their kids (usually young males) repatriated and the death is left unclear. The gov’t of Canada has been obfuscating many such deaths. Was it the Canadian govt fully at fault for the deaths? Not quite… these students are often met with predatory individuals who take advantage of their vulnerable situations: such as predatory landlords who have sometimes 15 or more students renting one house, or unjust working conditions because the employer knows that the immigrants citizenship hopes are tied to the job, etc etc. Ultimately, it’s the Canadian government turning a blind eye to these realities and trying to make the deaths appear due to things other than unalive attempts. This shouldn’t be surprising considering the way the Canadian government has been pushing dystopian legislation around their medically assisted dying program (MAiD). Canada’s medically assisted dying program has the least guardrails of any program of that type in other countries. Not just this, but the legislation for MAiD comes at a time when Canada’s healthcare and mental healthcare systems are collapsing. Trudeau said he would address this with one his re-election promises in 2021: he promised 5 billion for mental health programs. I’ve worked in the field for almost 20 years with youth and that money never arrived, nor has any serious attempt to fund programs occurred since the brutal Canadian pandemic policies massively exacerbated the youth mental health crisis. Perhaps one day someone will be able to trace how the 5 Billion promised was send off in provincial transfers that did not benefit any programs and likely only helped pay for all the upper management, because Canada’s healthcare, education and mental health care systems are absurdly top-heavy. Canada becomes moral dystopian by the day, with regular folks (working class, blue collar, low-income) bearing the burden. Everyday more people join the rank of the oppressed regular people while a few who work in the government or favored industries are overpaid and the stats around all of this corruption are further obfuscated and buried. And as all this occurs, you see bureaucrats like the on in this video smug in their knowledge that most Canadians will never learn how dark the truth is.

Canada is ruined now. And our new Prime Minister will make it much worse quickly. He already has claimed Canada stands behind 2 states. One created to go to the palastinians. There is no such thing as a palastinian. It is not a land nor a nationality. They are killer muslims raised to hate the jews. I will retire soon, wealthy. I'm moving to the usa because I believe Canada will get worse. I believe the people from India have destroyed Canada as they have destroyed India. I would live with Mexicans ANYDAY over them! We need a Trump clone to get rid of them all. All they have done is made us racist because of how they live and how they treat us. Marc C is not going to do anything but make it way worse.

I can only hope and pray for our Beautiful country to belong to us Born and Raised Canadians again. That these people will be pushed out of our country eventually. We as Canadians are very vocal and very loud and get very pissed off when we see our beautiful country being treated like garbage by these disgusting and vulgar immigrants. You are FUCKING with the wrong country if you think you can come here and get away with this shit forever. Canada has been through so much bullshit in the last 50 yrs alone, that we will no longer be pushed into silence. We Love our Beautiful Country to fucking much to see this shit continue to go on. We are not a Country to mess with!

You gotta admit the hospitality and the common good of a human being, offering food and treating people with kindness without discrimination was really nice to see from that Hindu gentleman at the temple handing out free food. Nothing billion dollars.

I am tired of people coming to Canada and not understanding why most Canadians celebrate Halloween And when we ask a Person that comes here if they take their children out for Halloween they say i Quote: We dont believe in the Devil only in jesus christ...This is a miss understanding and frankly an insult. So here you go.....Info for you! ...............Canadians celebrate Halloween due to its roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which was brought to Canada by Irish and Scottish immigrants in the 19th century. While the original celebrations focused on appeasing spirits and marking the end of the harvest, modern Canadians celebrate for fun and community, participating in activities like trick-or-treating, costume parties, and decorating homes with jack-o'-lanterns. Historical Origins Celtic Festival: Halloween's origins lie in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced "sah-win"), which marked the end of summer and the harvest season and the beginning of the dark, cold winter months. Blurred Boundaries: Celts believed that on the night of October 31st, the boundary between the world of the living and the world of the dead blurred, allowing spirits to roam the earth. Pagan Practices: To ward off evil spirits and to celebrate the harvest, people would dress in costumes, light bonfires, and prepare food offerings. All Hallows' Eve: Over time, the tradition merged with Christianity. All Saints' Day was established on November 1st, and the night before became known as All Hallows' Eve, a contraction of which led to the word "Halloween". Arrival in Canada Immigrant Traditions: The customs of Halloween were brought to North America, including Canada, by large numbers of Irish and Scottish immigrants in the mid-1800s. Cultural Adaptation: Over generations, these traditions evolved into the modern holiday we see today, incorporating new elements and becoming a popular cultural event. Modern Celebrations Fun and Community: Today, Canadians celebrate Halloween for the fun and mystery it offers, fostering a sense of community and togetherness. Popular Activities: Common activities include dressing in costumes, carving pumpkins to create jack-o'-lanterns, decorating homes, attending parties, and the popular tradition of trick-or-treating. Cultural Experience: For newcomers, Halloween in Canada is an exciting opportunity to experience Canadian culture and connect with neighbors. This helps out Canadian businesses as well. So next time someone asks you at least you will know to not use the Devil reason! We are not Mexico! Go look up their calibrations! Quite insulting Canada and learn our Celebrations if you chose to come here! Than You for your time!

The immigrants are the ones responsible for the cost of living going because there government is giving them more then our government can give us to live off of and they can afford the higher cost of living. They come from problems from their home countries and come here to treat us how they treat each other in their home countries

At 9:16, I just had to roll my eyes when the Indian guy said he sees no discrimination there in Brampton. Discrimination usually occurs when a person from one ethnic groups treats somebody from another ethnic group differently, not sure if he knows that!

I saw it first hand in my workplace. A major delivery company (not Amazon). Used to be mostly Canadians, until about 2 years ago. The majority are now young Indian guys who speak their own language amongst themselves. Even the new manager speaks Hindi. Work conditions have worsened because these people are willing to do much more for low wages. They drive erratically and treat the country like their playground to make money. This is the future of Canada.

The rich have stolen everything and blame the “other”for our problems in order to divide us. They also use immigration to lower wages and dilute the labour pool. In many cases the immigrants have been lied to and sacrificed for this false opportunity. We all need to fight the big money monopolies that choke us all and make the desperation that leads to hate. As a Canadian I’ll point out that people are people, the Canadians I know don’t treat “Canada”well.

The worst part about Indians is how utterly racist they are to other races in Canada. They meatride white people so hard just for jobs. But the moment they interact with anybody else even remotely melanted, they just treat them like trash. Litterally just bringing the caste system to Canada. You dont hate em enough

Just drive out the English Canadians as they've brought the Indians to there. Canada is a French-Speaking Red country. How are overall treated refugees from Ukraine, Palestine, Syria and Sudan in this City?

Sorry I don't believe that Indian dude, from my personal experience of working for an Indian company, being the only white employee, not 1 of them ever told 100% truth! Lying is considered Normal in they're Culture, they don't see it as lying!!! I bet anything he found away around the rules and cheated and lied to get his RN Certificate and now does the bare minimum at his job, thats what he meant by its easy now!!! Note he also said Canada is like Indian, that just means they are turning it into India, so how can a person say they're proud to be Canadian??? Proud to be a Canadian means you asymulate, not turn it into India! Your getting a warped opinion from a lying Indian!!! That said I did meet a few good Indian elders mostly, as they follow the beliefs were all equal and treat you with respect, but if it ever comes down to an Indian against a white person in a dispute, the Indian will Always be favored in they're communities!!!😎😎😎
