This is where islam comes in, the influx of immigrants Pakistani islamic, Bangladesh islamic, sri lanka islamic, Afghanistan islamic etc, and their families are large here in canada. Yet no one wants to integrate, they live in their niches.

As a legal immigrant , I can testify that Canada has collapsed thru unsecured borders and massive refugee influx while white people faces racial discrimination , Unbelievable !

I consider myself International( 3ed generation Canadian) because I spent half of my life working in many countries. Canada was always my home until about 15 years ago when I started feeling that thigs are changing in the wrong directions not only the immigration influx but total anti-Christian war, morality, family values, sexualization of children etc etc. its all gone to HELL !! This is not only about money and cheap labor, rather the NEW WORLD ORDER that the Western ELITES have implementing for decades. The same thing that's happening to us Canadians, it's happening to Americans, Britian, France, Spain, Italy, Germany and most of our G20 group because they all agreed to this globalization, and neoliberal policies. Now that my children graduated, I have moved them to an east European country where all my values and beliefs are still intact. I will be leaving Canada soon with a very sad heart, in my mind I will keep the Canada that I once loved. THIS IS ALL PLANNED it's not a mistake !! The countries in EU that don't allow for mass immigrants are being targeted, sanctioned, fined in the billions and are forcing to oust the governments ( Hungary, Slovakia, Poland etc )!! Government wants racial hearted and that's why it allows things that aggravates the Canadians...it's all about control and fear, they want us te fear each other !! If Canadian government wanted a high birth rate than it should have given the money that they spend on new immigrants to Canadian mothers in order to stay home and have more kids. Many countries have birth incentives for more than 2 children, countries that are nowhere economically on the Canadian level. Simply as I said, this is about globalization !!!

The reality is that many Canadian citizens have been suffering in silence, struggling to survive in Canada without any help or support from the Canadian government. The irresponsible Liberal government has allowed a massive influx of fraudulent immigrants, fake international students, illegal visitors, and criminals to devastate our peaceful nation and ruin its middle-class citizens' lives without any control... There is no doubt that the Liberals' reckless immigration policy and the broken immigration system have destroyed our peaceful, prosperous, decent, and happy nation since 2015...

Which “Immigrants have historically been a crucial driver of economic expansion in Canada? Where is your empirical evidence, Monsieur? Or, you just said it thinking that we will not pay attention to the fallacy. What a poor social-economic-political analysis. Sorry, Canada cannot take care of the whole world while some Canadians are in dare situation and the influx of immigrants are stifling off the resources and billions are given to foreign country to aid war.

This video is horrible. I don't know what political angle is, but the real problems are very well known and have nothing to do with what you said. First, housing is incredibly difficult to build in Canada because of regulations and land title problems, I.e., you don't own that land, the indians do. On top of that, there is a constant influx of immigrant that require housing that doesn't exist. Children cry because they cannot leave their parents' houses because they can't move anywhere, so they can't find any jobs locally, and they're trapped. There is no will in the canadian government to change these immigration policies, to change the land rules so that people can own land and build houses, or do anything about their incredibly micro managed economy that makes it impossible to do anything. If so, yeah, they go to the US to have a future while Canada stagnants and dies.

Our weak foreign policy over the last ten years and the incompetence of the ministry of external affairs is amply exhibited.\n\nU S, now Canada , probably european countries and finally Australia might follow suit \nBack home in India the Modi government has completely ignored unemployment problems and is more busy tippling non BJP goverments and making the country a Hindu Rashtra . The question however remains what will the Hindus survive if there are no jobs , high inflation, poverty and now the influx of immigrants from abroad,, adding to all these.\nProbably that is why the BJP says हिन्दू खतरे में हैं।

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 multiple 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?

Don't listen to that garbage right winged fox media. Canada was dealing with this well before Trump took office again. As a Canadian, I can tell you our government failed us too. We took in well over 5 million immigrants (documented and undocumented) over the past 3 years. Like New York, many of our cities are overwhelmed with this influx. We don't even have the resources to track down expired visas, overstays, or asylum cases. Last year our government admitted there was a problem and decided to start taking action. The biggest issue is people claim to be tourists with no intent of leaving. The Canada US border is far stronger than our international one.

I'm genuinely shocked at the influx of mass immigration from India.

We just can’t handle the influx of immigrants all at once, that’s why we have laws and path for citizenship. Cutting in line should get you banned for life.

Canadians have been left behind by their own country in favour of Indians. Canada as we know it is done, it is in severe decline and the quality of life of all Canadians has suffered from this influx. At old age homes, Canadians are being passed up and made homeless in favour of new immigrants (all Indians), all low income jobs have been taken by Indians, locals youth can't get jobs. Indians are super racist towards white or latino people (like me), and they are not taking up Canadian customs and manners. Canada is being ruined by Indians. Canadians have been left behind. 1 in 6 people globally are indian. Their breeding is out of control, and they ALL want to come here for free healthcare, hand outs and fresh water. I mean, look what they've done to India, Canada is next. It is all ready in severe decline, and quality of life is at the lowest ever because of this.

The situation in Canada has become deeply unbalanced due to the unchecked influx of Indians into the country. This issue isn't about discrimination but about preserving social and cultural harmony. The overwhelming numbers have led to significant changes in the demographic and cultural fabric, and it's evident in how certain communities now dominate areas of public life. The government must take immediate action to address this imbalance, including significantly reducing the number of incoming immigrants from India and considering the repatriation of some to restore a sense of balance in society.

Here's a refined version of your message:\n\n---\n\nThere is a significant number of Indians in Australia and New Zealand, many of whom initially arrived as international students and chose to stay. This has contributed to a rise in house rents and increased difficulty in finding accommodation. With a population of 28 million, Australia sees a high presence of Indians, who often fill many job positions, making it challenging for citizens to find employment. The Australian and New Zealand governments are partly to blame for issuing visas without expanding housing and job opportunities to accommodate the influx of visitors, students, and immigrants.\n\n---\n\nI hope this helps. If you need any further adjustments, feel free to let me know.

Mexico is an easier country to live in than the cold desert of Canada. All such videos compare themselves with the USA instead of Mexico or other neighbours of the USA. Canada is a corrupt country and a handmaiden of the USA. Thats why it has to constantly advertise itself as a special destination to attract all the people from across the world (as its own population haemorrhages across the border). Just like Australia or some other colonies of the Britishers. Without the influx of innocent and gullible immigrants, Canada would have ceased to exist as an independent country. In any case it will be absorbed into the USA now.

As a former immigrant who has been a Canadian citizen for over 40 years I am mindful that too many immigrants get into the country too easily - not like in my time when I had to actually qualify to come here. We, the older generation (including immigrants), helped to build Canada, but the newcomers just come here to take what they can. There are too many new immigrants who should not be here in the first place, and they have no intention of assimilating. What a mess!\nI have to ask you a question, though. What if the high influx was from Sweden or Germany? Would you still be that interested in the story?

A housing crisis brought on by the influx of immigrants specifically from landlords community. The irony???

I am from India but I kind of understand Canadians anger. The immigration should not have been done in a way that completely changes their demographics. She should have handled it another way but …. . \nFew Indians ok but a massive influx will definitely create friction between immigrants and the people who built Canada.

Since 2015, Canada has become the subject of jokes for many. This is largely attributed to the questionable policies of the Justin Trudeau government. By recklessly permitting a large influx of fraudulent immigrants from corrupt countries, the JT government has weakened a once peaceful, prosperous, safe, and decent nation. The actions and policies of the Trudeau government significantly affect Canadians, Americans, and the future....

It's happening in the US too. Given the state of affairs in Gaza, I predict that we will see a huge influx of Palestinians seeking asylum over the next decade. The irony being that the US is openly supporting the genocide happening there as we speak. So the US is pro Isreal, and is becoming increasingly anti-immigration, the future is looking bleak and confusing. I'm not anti-immigration btw, I'd just like to make that clear.

Do you all hear yourselves….?? Some of the most racist comments I’ve heard…..!!\n\nThis is basically saying that because it is brown people moving into Canada ( Brampton, BC, TO) doesn’t matter, there’s a problem with immigrants. What would the comments be if Brampton had an influx of Britt’s, or Germans, or Portuguese….Etc….??\n\nSaying, “this is not the Canada I knew”…. Well, “Canada is a multicultural country” \nThis means that all cultures from every part of the world decide to enter Canada and make it their home. Just like my parents did in the 60’s from Portugal. Why is it okay to have people immigrate here in the 60’’s from Italy, Portugal, Greece Etc…. And people coming in now from countries that are of colour, there is a massive backlash…. Canada has one of the lowest populations. Why not have some hard working people live here and contribute to the economy from India, Afghanistan, Nigeria, Kenya, Lebanon, Iraq Etc….

Funny that we need 400.000 skilled workers per year, and this is exactly the goal for how many new apartments should be built per year. Obviously it has to be WAY more apart,ents since we also have a huge influx of unskilled immigrants, and we are already way behind.

TLDR, These illegal 'imports' are expensive to everyday workers not businesses, cut the high-minded collage nonsense. you at tldr aren't effected by mass immigrants as much as say, a construction worker. These people here when they shouldn't be and must go through proper channels. The population influx has been suffocating younger job seekers.

The administration won’t deport every illegal immigrant, it won’t even come close. They’ll go after criminals and it will ramp up border security to slow the influx of new immigrants and allow the country to absorb the current immigrants

Canada's total taxation rate is about 64th compared to countries worldwide.\nCanada is ranked one of the safest countries in the world. Still is. In fact, any quick search will show our crime rates continue to drop every decade. We have FAR more people moving to Canada than from Canada. The population in 2023 jumped up over 1 million.\nCanada is having housing challenges due to the massive influx of people moving here. It is a problematic level of immigration. That said, we still have a very low unemployment rate, and plenty of opportunities in most cities for the right people.\nI am not sure what your agenda here is with all this misinformation, but please feel free to leave anytime...

It is 100% the Trudeau Government to Blame. As a born and raised, WHITE Canadian, I NEVER had an issue with Indian immigrants, of all the immigrants to Canada, they were the most respectful, and the most willing to “assimilate” to our culture. The recent influx of immigrants/migrants from India, are the most disrespectful, disgusting and violent people I have ever seen. Shitting where they want, throwing garbage everywhere, not learning English, disrespecting our wildlife, by trying to kill and eat everything, and the latest, hearing a march In Brampton where new immigrants/migrants saying “Get out British speakers, We are the real Canadians, go back to Europe”. My patience and hospitality has limits. Trudeau let this influx happen, assimilation is not possible on this massive scale. I feel sorry for those seeking a better life in Canada, but native borns are being left behind and are angry, so this is what you get. Sorry….just being honest

Woke virtue signalling liberals are afraid of an influx of illegal immigrants?!? Oh me oh my…

We shouldn’t be preparing for an influx we need to prepare to close our borders. No more asylum seekers into Canada. Our resources are for the people that pay for them not for those who come here to benefit from our better standard of living. Fix things back home and then immigrate through the proper channels. We don’t need tent cities full of asylum seekers. For those that want to let all those people in then they have to go sign up to take responsibility for them with consequences if they don’t. I would bet the lineup for that would be very short.

I see many of you are still struggling to understand how Trump won. It’s many fold, but I can some it up rather concisely.\n\nYour entire mantra was “Vote for us so we can have our way and do what I want or democracy dies”\n\nWhich is so ironic that the thing you think will happen is what that statement represents. \n\nAdd on that, you attacked your political opponent for 8 years with lies, rhetoric (which included degrading remarks about the general populace) and a weak economy and weak foreign policy with a severe influx of illegal immigration. \n\nYou did this to yourselves

Ice officials????\nI doubt you will be involved with that. \nMore like Heavy Facist militia call up. \nZip ties chains and duck tapeing every immigrant they see ...\nGet ready for an influx of trumptards ....\nTo do your jobs folks ....\nAre you American? Prove it type bullshit. \nDont leave home with out Proper ID folks ....

Good, stop it all together. Its affecting everything!\nSo many africans and south asians came to the country its like if the agents at the head of these immigration centers were basically from these countries and got all their people in.\n\nI havent seen any French, Turks, Greeks come into the country even jf they have a rough economy. But we got a influx of the areas I named above.

It is imperative to halt the surge of immigrants to Canada and the rise of deceptive tourism, especially since many individuals are primarily interested in seeking asylum rather than pursuing academic studies. They tend to opt for business management programs, which are the least expensive and allow for quicker entry, disregarding the true purpose of education. Some provinces have started to monitor the influx of international students from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and the Middle East. Furthermore, tourists from these nations often fail to return home. In a similar vein, the United States has introduced a $4,000 charge for tourists, which is refunded when they depart back to their homeland.

Why? Because it was a non-plan and completely DETRIMENTAL to this country and PREDATORY to many of those immigrants who upon their expensive one way trip realized they are walking into a health care/education/infrastructure/housing/employment system that is woefully inadequate for meeting even the needs of the people who ARE ALREADY HERE. \ncriminals and clowns have been running this country into the ground.\n\nClaiming that massive immigration prevented a recession is admitting that you used immigration influx to fudge your otherwise dwindling, nose diving economic numbers.... MINISTER.

99.9.cut off go.back to ure country.canada is not safe due to d influx of immigration

Canadians have every right to be upset right now about immigration. And since Indians are in very high numbers her frustration is understandable. I would have been upset too if my country had so much influx of people.

I came here as an qualified immigrant. I went thru the right way. Not as a student whose main aim is to settle here . . These so called students spent a lot of money to co e . MONEY they don't have accordi g to them, Blame the CDN. Immigration for the influx of students whose intention is to come to work not to study.Now demand more hours of work .

Part of this problem isnt on Canada. Its the immigrants themselves faking and gaming trying to do anyting possible to get PR...a lot of that has to do with their home country cashing in on programs and promise BS only to get paid. Majority of the influx is south east asia from Pakistan, Bangaldesh and India in general taking up all the low end labour that students used to be the ones employed in those positions. There is a reason every fast food chain is mostly 90% south indians.

Canada’s lenient immigration policies for a long time have made it a target for individuals from developing and corrupt countries seeking entry through various means such as refugee claims, student visas, marriages, and even fake trade skill diplomas. People do corruption in the third world and then claim refugee status in Canada and get accepted easily, so Canadian society is becoming full of those corrupt culprits from around the third world. This has led to concerns about why Canada has become a hub for such activities and whether it is compromising its reputation as a developed country. There is no real shortage of labor in Canada; rather, it is the greed of some employers, often first-generation immigrants from poorer countries, who exploit cheap foreign labor and are not willing to pay fair pay to Canadian labor. These employers, along with immigration consultants, homeowners, and small business owners, perpetuate the narrative of a labor shortage to justify continued immigration for their profits but that immigration is tearing the values of our society apart. I fear, soon Canadian passports on the international airports will be treated like a third world country passport. This situation raises questions about the true necessity of immigration in Canada, especially when other countries do not seem to have the same demand. The influx of older international students, particularly from India, taking jobs that could go to Canadian youth, further fuels the debate.

Unfortunately I see racism coming back strong in Canada which was very racist in thec70’s and 80’s. It was stable for awhile but the crazy influx of Indians has made people hate immigration

I am an international student in Canada from the U.S. and intended on staying here after graduation, but after having learnt of the job shortages, the housing crisis, and inflation (due to the influx of immigrants), I've begun to consider returning to the States. It is unfair that your livelihoods are worsening because of foreigners taking advantage of the system (and this is also happening in the U.S.). I assimilate into Canadian culture and respect its laws, but I would hate to contribute to this population crisis.

It is unfair to the individuals who are relocating to Canada under the current circumstances. Recognizing the issues with our nation's trajectory does not require one to hold racist views. If Canadians genuinely cared about all people, they would seek to prevent the misleading promises made by the Liberal and NDP governments. Many immigrants were promised a prosperous country but have instead encountered challenges such as a housing crisis, rising cost of living, opioid addiction and homelessness issues, inflation, healthcare strains, high unemployment, high taxes, and a declining standard of living. \n \nNotably, Canada is technically in a recession, and without the influx of money brought in by immigrants, the country's economic struggles would be more apparent. The economy appears healthier on paper due to foreign investment and spending, but underlying issues persist. While immigration has significantly impacted Canada in multiple ways, the responsibility lies not with the immigrants who were overpromised, but with the Liberal and NDP governments that have underdelivered. To clarify, I am not a conservative. The CBC has produced an informative piece on this topic for those interested in learning more.

I appreciate your balanced view of the complicated situation. I have met so many Indians who contribute everyday to making Canada an even better place to live. So thank you. I too blame the government for ignoring the social consequences of such a large influx of immigration in too short of a time. But mostly who I blame are the brokers who are scamming hard working and hopeful young people to come over to Canada and are ripping off them and their families. Thank you for your thoughtful insight.

The biggest issue that Canada faces is imminent. Influx of unqualified workers & flooding the low wage jobs (If there are any) \nLocals Canadians will have to face & fight with these Low Wage Earner for jobs. \nMore ever, these illegal immigrants are illiterate, and CAN NOT even contribute to the wellbeing of local economy but to create heaps of social problem within the community circle.

The issue of fake students coming to Canada from India or other countries under the guise of education, only to work and take advantage of cheap labour opportunities, is a concern for some citizens. This influx of cheap labour may contribute to lower wages and fewer permanent jobs for Canadian citizens, particularly in industries where foreign workers are employed at a lower cost. Canada must maintain integrity in its immigration and labour policies, ensuring that students come for genuine educational purposes and that the job market remains fair for Canadians. This is a wake-up call to re-evaluate our systems and ensure they are not being exploited.

As a Canadian child (early 1970's) I collected money with my candy on Halloween for people in Bangladesh. We have food banks and shelters and assistance programs for those suffering misfortune and our society WAS designed around public sharable services and programs. When I was a teen, a Guianese immigrant co-worker told me Canadians are stupid for providing handouts to immigrants and he laughed at me for buying his house with my taxes. In recent years there has been an influx of new residents whose focus is how they can take advantage, what they can get for free and those who try to cheat the system and cheat others. The scams and cheating that sends thousands of Indian students to Canada for an education at a school that cant take them is the same kind of scams starting here. The fraudulent proofs of income banks were receiving for house purchases has resulted in an artificially inflated housing market. I just bought a house and my Canadian born Indian neighbors literally gated and locked me out of $6000 of my land, while we were on good terms, because the felt like it. We were a society built on honor, trust and respect and while I wouldn't say its all the fault of Indians, there are by no means a small percentage and its getting worse.

They knew the rules before they applied to come here on a TEMPORARY visa. Now that their visa has expired or is about to expire, they want to change the laws to accommodate them.\n\nJust like India has laws regarding immigration, so does Canada. Go back, apply for the proper visa and when Canada is ready to grow and our infrastructure could handle the influx in people, then we will accept you.

Hes acting as though he doesn't know how immigration got so high. Wasn't it his plan to bring 1.5 million immigrants by 2026 i believe? Nut if course he was looking for high skill people but the opportunity to come in on visitor visa and switch to work permit caused oman influx of Indians he didn't see coming.
