Well said!!! We need immigrants with the skills that Canada needs and who make a big effort to come!! Not immigrants who only ask things to the country and bring bad habits to this beautiful place

They come to US and Canada claiming they want a better life, yet they don’t obey the laws of the country and try to create their own rules to make it become the same system they are running from.

Each country needs to fix theirs and complete. The people need to come together each to their own not run to the US bc then those come here take advantage of what we have and then we have nothing bc we are always giving. Please each country fix whatever they like in the us add to your countries

What’s immigration like with nursing? I’ve been debating coming over from UK to Canada for 6 months, a year or 2 in a few years when I have more RN experience and have saved money, but with all the things I’ve been seeing online about the housing crisis, cost of living and immigration problems it’s really putting me off. \n\nAny nurses from Canada here got any views or advice on this? Is it difficult to find employment as a nurse in Canada? I thought there was a big shortage of Nurses in the country.\n\nMy other idea was Australia but they seem to be struggling with a housing crisis too ?. Also a lot further away from the UK than Canada. Pay and work-life balance seem better in Australia and so is the weather. Ahhhhh, who knows

Thank you for summarizing these key changes! Many problems are actually the Canadian immigration system not learning from the mistakes of the US system and now it’s suffering the same consequences. If Canada cuts down on those selected immigrations but still takes in refugees, it’s only going to make anti-immigrant sentiment worse. Selected immigrants are allowed into Canada to help alleviate Canadian issues…or at least people who come through Express Entry are less likely to become a burden. On the other hand, refugees, given their unfortunate circumstances, really need to rely on a lot of social services and resources to help them resettle. The US has eliminated pretty much all non-humanitarian immigration that’s why immigrants are so demonized there. Americans only feel the drags of refugees and asylum seekers (even though ethically we need to protect them) and there is no selected immigration to balance that out. Yet this round of Canadian policy change is heading exactly that direction.\n\nIt used to be international students in Canada are not paying a lot more tuition than Canadian students. But Canadian universities saw how much money universities in the US are making so they asked the federal government to change the policy to enable them to charge international students several times the regular tuition (whereas in countries like France, international students actually pay less than citizens). So now Canadian universities rely too much on international students to operate and it becomes an exploitative relationship even before students step foot on the campus. The new PGWP eligibility is awful because students can make contributions in every field. It might (and that's a big if) address the pressing problems, but it won't help Canada grow.\n\nI thought the new language requirement was interesting. Some Canadians who immigrated decades ago when the bar was really low still speak English poorly and now they are saying people can’t come to Canada because their language skills are not sufficient. Another point about language is if you apply through Express Entry now, even if you scored the highest language score, given how competitive the pool is, you still won’t get selected. So it’s a given that you need to be fluent in one of the languages at least to get an invitation. Express Entry also selects only the top people, I saw the head of The Institute for Canadian Citizenship in interviews talking about those top-tier people only expect the best treatment/lifestyle when they come to Canada. That's why many of them leave after seeing these Canadian problems play out. But I believe a good Canadian life is not about living in a high rise in Vancouver and Toronto, driving an expensive car, or buying luxury items...it's about the communities, nature and middle-class comfort. So the system is giving PRs to the wrong kind of people (just like mismatched people when hiring that don't align with company values).\n\nThis brings me to the last frustrating issue. There were so many people who attended “fake” universities and bought “fake” jobs to earn points to get an Express Entry invitation. And it's clear that the government wasn't proactively catching these abuses. They are taking up spots from those who try to earn the points fair and square. If I understand correctly, Canada doesn’t send these people away if they are found out (since some of them were scammed). So they still take up immigration quotas.\n\nI have wanted to move to Canada for a long time. I have visited Canada many times, hiking trails through the coastline and fjords, climbing mountains and glaciers. I lived in Montreal for two months to improve my French and I was told by my homestay family that I was the first student they had who didn’t complain about the cold (I wish the winter never ends so I can skate or xc ski in the parks year-round). I have probably seen more Canada than many Canadians and I love every bit of it. But the opportunity for me to even get a shot to move there is pretty much nonexistent now. If only there was a way for the system to allow people who really care about Canada to get a shot at being part of this beautiful country.\n\nThank you for making these videos.

I am an Indian, came here for ML research. Was unpleasantly surprised to witness so many unskilled Indians ruining the country. Uneducated, can't speak English, rude, unkempt. Like I love my country but I also love the country I immigrated to. I know tons of Indian friends like me who feel the same way. We all feel like we scammed ourselves into coming here. Every doordash and uber guy in Toronto is an Indian guy, who probably came here through a diploma mill. Why did Canada let this happen? Weirdly enough, even now, it's easier to get into Canada as a Khalistani terrorist or an LMIA abuser with a fake IELTS score and fake college admission letter than honest Indians who come here for higher education at good schools. Anyone reading this and from India, just go to the US man. At least despite the H1B lottery they respect your time more than Canada and you earn way more in 2-3 years than you would here in 6 years.\n\nPs : I singled out Indians since I am one but Palestinian refugees with their never ending incessant virtue signalling marches, Ukrainians with their virtue signalling marches and destruction of property, middle eastern refugees etc are all part of the problem. It's like they came here to bring their problems with them.

Other problem is that a lot of people try to get a work in the service area, instead of help the growth of the primary and secondary sector, things that truly produce growth of a country. \n \nOther thing, the frame of the debate most not to be only in order of unskilled and skilled workers. ''Must to be in order of people who need for specific occupations in order of the demand work-force', EEUU have a lot of skilled workers and they don’t have a job. Sell a fake promise to the skilled workers of other part of the world is not correct.\n\nA lot of skilled worked come to Canada each year, and everybody can see them working in a McDonald or washing dishes in restaurants.

Can I come to your country and get a house free food and don’t pay for anything

If canada does't not cap immigrants by each country like USA, it will be taken by indian population within 10 years. Every year more than 1 million indian are coming to canada. Within 10 years they will control politics, economics, job etc.

Hello Anna and Anastasia your channel is truly a hidden gem full of useful information and insight. I am an international student myself and I agree with all your points in the video, Canada used immigration to fix a deeper problem and that is its difficulty to incentivize the economy by having a heavily regulated environment, high taxes and low productivity. It will definitely alleviate some of the pressure on the system but, the real cause is still there. The first sector that is going to be affected will be the education as colleges and universities became over reliant with the revenue coming from Int. Students (which is not particularly small) and institution will need to adapt. When I first came here I fell in love with the country and I really feel fortunate to enjoy this beautiful place and doing everything to assimilate and integrate myself into the culture. I think here you can have a sense of hope of things improving in the future (something that is not the case in my home country) but if they do not fix the underlying problem it does not matter how much immigration they reduce, Canadians will not see a significant improvement. Keep the awesome work!!!

Someone please tell me the difference between a Palestinian and a Ukrainian when it comes to being invaded by another hostile country’s armed Military?

They are coming from all over India. Stop the nonsense. All Indians, like all other folks do. India is not a rich country

No sympathy for these cockroaches. Haven’t met one Canadian citizens in 2024 including the pervious Indian who immigrated here under the correct way and actually have useful skills & knowledge and actually blended with society . ABSOLUTELY HATE THESE NEW INDIANS WHO IMMIGRATED HERE. I feel sorry for you new Indian who are here no matter what you will always be hated. \nYou all literally brought racism to your selves. \nYou left to give yourself a better life , yet you bring your garbage ways to these countries - example : shitting on beaches with people there , dancing like a group of gorilla in the downtown toronto in a BUSY area where family shops and go with their children, crossing the subway tracks to reach the other side while trains are coming ! \nSTEALING FOOD FROM THE FOOD BANKS FOR THE HOMELESS! stealing liquor from the LCBO , stealing every car in toronto , most unhygienic people ever( no deodorant, always smelling they haven’t shower for days) ESPECIALLY THE WOMAN!… need I say more ? \nYou all brought racism towards your self good luck :)

She is just saying come legally the right way, the way she came into this country! Whats wrong in that?

The only reason for people to choose to inmigrate to the USA, is because their goverments are not taking care of their needs as human beings. The USA always helps most of these latin america countries in so many ways without actually demanding any improvements in their social systems. In other words the money always for some reason do not get invest in improving their country. The money dissappear very quick. If USA demand improvements for their citizens or else. Believe me. It will be no reason for this people to risk their lifes to come here. No more support from USA to South America unless they can proved that they are actually improving the way of living for them citizens. PERIOD!!!!!

So how come El Salvador’s president is making moves to better his country and Mexico can’t

Come to Canada and your dream will become a nightmare we are a broke country with a wannabe commie dictator destroying ruling it

Excuse me Indian India is a big country that have all the resources they want why the president are the prime minister of India let him in bad people have to cut out all over the world that's not nice because number one they will never and they will not adopt the Western principal our life and God so why didn't you stay in India I'm asking you on the phone on the internet on the TV why the Indiana monster in India they come to the West they have nothing to do with the culture of the West that's very sad if we leave the Western go to India we will have to adopt your people who do not adopt on all these things happen because of weak prime minister weak member Parliament and the Northeast and North Justin Trudeau need to deport all of them that come here and student visa and his fake College

A lot of people are hating her because she did the right thing coming here legally the right way , Everyone in this country ancestors are Illegal Immigrants all europeans the ones who owns this lands Is the first nations the really true Native Americans.

This is so sad that these people are going through so much in there country that they have to leave. God says love our neighbors. I just pray they will get help an come in legally. We have problems taking care of our own people that are out on the streets. Lord help us all.

No matter who you are, what are the circumstances, NO country will allow illegal immigration ad US is right to deport them. They must come legally.

I\nThey should remain in their country and enter legally. If your coming for a better life, bringing your garbage and anti Canadian views with you need to stay home. Your country is ruined why do you try to ruin ours?

They want to use the argument that the land was stolen from the indigenous people? Sure that was awful, but it also happened over 100 years ago. We now have an established country with laws. Doesn't mean you can come here, shit on our welcome mat and demand rights. It's hard not to get angry with these people but they have become entitled little fucks who think they have the right to be here. You should kiss the ground you protest on. Living here in a privilege not a right.

Dang! So they want this country to look like India? Overcrowded and trash littered? Deport, deport, deport ! Come on trump.

This is why I don’t understand, he can’t even pay his own bills, what does he think he can run the country, well worked hard and save your money for rainy days to come …

I am an immigrant turned Canadian. I had to score points to come here, and I gave a job interview and cracked it on day 3 after arrival. Paying hefty taxes, integrating with culture, following the law of land just to see this country turning into a mess! Seeing govt favoring frauds, leeches and unproductive foreigners over hard working and honest people.

Where are Joe Biden and Kamala Harris? Why don’t they come to see all this? Biden and Kamala wide open the border to invite hundreds of millions of illegal immigrants to invade our country. Using our own tax payers money to fund the illegal immigrants. Why Kamala blames on elected President Trump for the border crisis????? This make me mad?????. These people should gather like that in their own country to put test with their corrupted government not in our southern borders. Biden, Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer need to be arrested for treason.

Cooperation? One- sided? How many Illegals did you let stay in your country? Just know all your illegals that come from your country or thru your country and are illegal will be dealt with!! Not open arms!! Trafficking drugs, people that you didn't do your part in stopping!! Not threats- reality!

It is will get to the point where no one will want to do business with the usa. People will source outside the usa and only allow exports into the usa. Women dont play games. Men think they're strong. When you come up agaisnt a strong woman who has had enough its the worst wrath you could ever imagine. Theyre very very calculated and intentional. Strong female leaders tend to sort their countries out and put it on a straight line, based on the historical female leaders on this planet

A little more complicated when it comes to Mexico & Canada, did you say? Maybe because djt was one of the negotiators for the US when NAFTA ended, & was replaced by the new Free Trade agreement for we three N.Amer countries. He signed it. So what now? He's torn it up? Flushed it down the toilet? I'll say it's a little more complicated, and potentially a LOT more so.

They do not come to the US because it is safe. The US has probably become unsafe because of them. Impose tariffs on goods coming from foreign countries. Learn your lesson about China.

THE TARIFF TRUMP WANT TO PUT ON MÉXICO IS NOT EVEN FOR ABOCADOS OR FRUITS THE TARIFF ARE FOR AMERICAN MANUFACTURING COMPANIES THAT ARE IN MÉXICO BECAUSE THEY WANT TO PAY VERY CHEAP SALARIES TO MEXICAN WORKERS AND CELL THEIR TRUCKS AND CARS LIKE IF THEY PAY USA SALARIES VERY EXPENSIVE CARS AND TRUCKS VERY LOW WAGES FOR MEXICAN WORKERS THE TARIFF ARE NOT FOR THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT IS FOR AMERICAN COMPANIES SO THEY CAN AND WILL COME BACK TO THE USA AND THE SAME TARIFF WILL BE APPLIED TO CHINA SO THAT AMERICAN MANUFACTURING COMPANIES CAN AND WILL COME BACK TO THE USA CAN CNN UNDERSTAND THAT OF COURSE NOT THEY HATES OUR COUNTRY

Why didn’t you just let the British organize India instead of FLOODING British countries? You’re SUPERIOR to the British so fix your own country and STOP COMING.

That's not.\n Our problem here in Canada. If they cannot afford it, they come here and our kids and grandkids do not have jobs. They commend our country and don't adhere to our laws. If we were to go to their country and spread our faith, we would be beheaded. Don't come here and wave your swords.

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….

Claudia also informed him that 70% of the guns/weapons in Mexico are from USA.. just as drugs come into USA for Mexico, USA guns assist the crime In Mexico WHICH IS WHY Mexicans don’t feel safe in their own country.\n\nTrump need to fix him self, his country & hun control , drug consumption in U.S. before going around blaming Mexico for everything. Goofy orange one ?

MEXICO AND CANADA ARE SAYING 100% TARIFF ON ALL GOODS MADE IN USA UNTIL ALL YOUR GUNS STOP COMING INTO OUR COUNTRY

Canada needs more refugees!!!!! By taking care of them will help Canada solving all the problem!!!!!\nTo every country in the world: If you are poor, come to Canada! we will provide you free meals and 5 star hotel for thereest of your life!!!Don't worry about us, our country is rich and fetheral government have abundant money to feed you all, because that's how we treats the world!!!! Nice, Ehhhhhh????

I am not Indian or Asian but I don’t blame these poor people. They just come for better life and didn’t come violently here and are ready for work and any work. With regards how they come from a non war zone country to here this country that is a question for the immigration and politicians. I don’t think it is a question for these poor people who just found opportunity to enter and took it

Of course cnn don’t think 10k a week of illegal criminals coming into our country in a problem

Morons at CNN News. A lot of talk about Mexico and China? Hey, Yanks, you do more trade with Canada than any other country, and Trump complains about drugs coming in from Canada, (when about 1,000 times as much comes in from Mexico). What idiots you are!

I mean if items go up in price that come from other countries and chemicals will be gone out of food the food price will cost the same cause they’ll get rid of the spending on other chemicals I mean it will help tightening border cross from South and north so that will help a lot of people coming here cause everything might get more expensive people with out papers will want to leave ?

Cnn not talking about how Mexico allows illegal immigrates to our Country. They must be hold accountable for allowing these illegal immigrates come in our country.

We have a lot of farm land and rivers and oceans on both sides we should not allow anything coming in why are we making other countries rich and make our medicines we need to build hotter refineries to my synthetic resources and products so we are not slaves or dependant on any country so we can start reopening our factories and any company getting other countries to make their products kick them out and send them to that country its now america first and only the hell with the world and we if we want to trade we trade in our hemisphere and if they get their products from the other hemispheres we can them and not allow to enter if you want to trade making us American slaves then move to that hemisphere you traitors we must become fully self sufficient and independent depending on no other country for resources and parts and products and medical equipment and medicines and fuel and oil in case of world war and a catastrophy and plaque and anything

Tariffs are important it saves jobs in America by not allowing countries to dump extra cheap products in the country to run business in America out of business like what just happened in Chicago with a tire plant cheap tires coming from China forced a sumitomo tire plant in Chicago to close and lay off American workers. Stop listening to these people on the media who gets their talking points from the same Globalist that is destroying America ?

Tariffs are an effective negotiation tool Trump used during his first term. Mexico does very little with cartels who run the border. They don't stop the trains and caravans coming through their country or enforce the stay-in-Mexico rule but...they will on Jan 20th, 2025.

It's not migration...it's illegal immigration that you allow other countries to travel through your country to enter US. No, Mexico only is controlling the migration for the election. They are not low; they're using an app and alternate ways to enter. So sick of CNN rhetoric and lies. So, CNN thinks Mexico is telling the truth and US is lying! Come 'on CNN do you see why you're losing viewership? LIE LIE LIE! Misinformation and disinformation. No numbers aren't lower! They're flying them in, but why tell the truth!

WAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! Orange man bad! flow liberal tears flow. Why in the hell are you so afraid?? Are we at the point everything we buy comes from a foreign land??? Just ask Yourselves . how many millions are we spending to keep other countries up?

A train wreck is coming down the tracks. Tariffs will increase the cost of living in the US because the cost of paying it will come out our own pockets, not the foreign countries. They will only pass that cost onto us by reversed tariffs against the US. This proposal will only hurt the world economy and alienate our closest trading partners. We are now going to be ripped off by our own government.

It is unfortunate that we are going to destroy NAFTA 2.0 with Canada and Mexico . Mexico has options, and the Chinese are already fulfilling México needs. China has already bought most of South America infrastructure 8n key countries isuch as Chile, Peru, Ecuador etc. Home prices are going to be up on new houses because most of our building woods and metals come from Canada. Furthermore, auto parts and building components for most household appliances are made in Mexico. This is going to hurt the American consumer and the poor.
