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.

OVERIMMIGRATION,,NO PLACE TO HOUSE THEM,,,,,GLAD THE BORDERS ARE CLOSING NOW.

Canada is very big. Why all those migrants are only in big cities. They should be moved to places when they can find work and housing is not so expansive. I know Indian people who are doing very well in Dawson City. They are amazing and loved part of community. Canada needs more people. Those who are willing to contribute not those who like to exploit our welfare system.

Diploma mills are pumping out fake degrees those places should be shutdown

Even car insurance are too high when your address is in Brampton. A lot of multi culture people in that place that are reckless drivers. The city is getting worse bigtime.

From beginning people are immigrating from place to place and one country to another. Focusing one group of people is disgusting. There are refugees and illegal immigrants and so many are coming to the country. The country allows people to come and immigration improved the economy a lot. Spreading racisam is not right for the betterment of the nation. You mentioned Canadian became homeless and drug addictions whose fault is it??

My Brother moved to Germany more than 50 years ago ago got a PhD from university of Gottingen got married kids are 1/2 German very well placed in high paying jobs but he still lives in rented large apartment as he finds it cheaper the to buy his own place !

A very urban centric and statistically driven op ed. I doubt that the presenter has actually visited most of the places covered.\nEvery time one of these comes up, the 4 largest provinces are ranked highest and I truly feel sorry for anyone stuck in one of their soul crushing nightmare cities.

Time to move on I guess. Canada is rated quite highly in terms of places to live, the reason so many people want to immigrate here. Years ago vacation meant a car trip probably a few hundred kilometers from home, and that's only if mom or dad could afford it. Now if people can't go on a tropical vacation 3 times a year they cry. We had one car, not 2 or 3 fully optioned like today. Good luck on finding somewhere better, and make room for people who want to be here.

Its not just the government or the Canadian population you also have the ceos of companies selling jobs to enslave people that come over and the schools selling diplomas. The problem is mass corruption everywhere not in just one place. There are no longer any checks and balances just everyone doing whatever they want for as much money as possible and screwing everyone else over.

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.

Canada, EU, UK literally have immigration policies that favour mass immigration. If these countries don't want people to come why make such open policies in the first place ?? These countries roll out most stupid policies in the world and they act surprised when the policies do what it's meant to do.Mass immigration is bad for any country but invitation through policies and then shifting the blame on immigrants is pathetic.

Oops. Indians have a strong ethic identity. Indians will create little Indian everywhere in any place as long as they settle regardless , bringing and promoting Indian culture and practices.\nThe problem is India cannot no longer hold Indians.\nThey need to conquer other lands by immigration.\nIf Indians from all over the world were to be deported to India. India will be in a crisis.

the problem is jam packing people into cities. Im from USA i dont know enough about canada but in the USA a city isnt the only place to build a life. For example japan has most of their population in cities seems a bit odd that all these immigrants are heading into cities where cost is añready high.

It feels like India! There are many cultures in this country but other races do not dance or play their traditional music in public places! We want to keep Western values in public places! Have some bloody respect and understand not everyone is interested in listening to Indian music while you do. It is disrespectful! ??? animalistic behaviour.

I’d want to get out too with Trudeau in charge. If Trump is elected, the US will be the place to come to once again.

Just remember that a lot of people have a before and after view. Back in the day a school photo looked like a meeting of every country and now in some areas, those photos look like one country only. My point is that people grew up in a multicultural environment. Very rarely did one group have so much impact with so few people in such a short time. The long and short of it is stop driving like an entitled @$$, mow the lawn, don't be the loudest people, don't crowd, have large gatherings in public areas where you take over some place so that nobody can use it. Some people just want to get in, get their stuff and go home. I understand that the 2 countries in the world with the largest population like to be very sociable and crowd together, but neither of the two groups want to follow rules, laws or be considerate of other people. It's all about them and how they want to live. Imagine you've been paying taxes and following the laws and being considerate of other your whole life and someone coming to the country and making no effort to behave.

Read that students enrolled in UBC and UVIC can’t find a place to live, within in reason……perhaps that’s why? Wake up!!!

because you are lazy and sneaky in a work place.

well, if they were there for school, not sure how many completed it, or just went to work and whatever... If done or failed, go back, and apply properly, everyone sees worldwide how past few years of extremely lax immigration standards and enforcement is affecting ALL Western Liberal led governments, all suffering. Sorry, but EVERYone has to go through proper channels again, and there is a lot of financial and social damage done through the Trudeau Regime we're frikkin broke. There is going to be worldwide recession and depression and possibly famine and civil wars, you name it nothing at the moment is looking good ANYwhere.. He is importing votes, but he is going to be gone as soon as we can..... cannot believe they won't arrest him after all his crimes and obstructions and laundering. All see the disaster this unfettered access everywhere has wrought. We love ya, but we must focus on realities, grim, and this is all still in infancy stages. is gonna be a very cold Winter, and probably a very hungry ones, and a lot of places are just going to have to shut down. Either you have finished your schooling, or withdrew, whatever.... school is done. That service paid for is now over, nobody stopping LEGAL citizenship routes when space and need arise.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out. Trust me, there are few better places like Canada. \n\nIf tent encampments worry you, I would suggest you not go to any developing country, there are WAY more poor people there than Canada. Also, don't walk around at night there, live in a gated community and ensure you have lots of security around you, because you are going to need it.

Australia is the place to be

This is ridiculous. The majority of the homeless are homeless because they don't want to work the jobs. As a greenhouse manager, the local people don't want to work the jobs that the foreign workers work which is why we are required to bring them in in the first place. I have had many local workers try working in the greenhouse only to quit within weeks because they couldn't handle the work or even the heat that is required. So how are we supposed to depend on local people to do the work? The would be a worker turnover every 3 - 6 weeks. With this program we can bring in people who WANT to do the work because its a better opportunity for them than what they have back home. This is NOT the way to fix the homeless problem. High rent, high taxes and high economic standards are the cause of eat. People cant AFFORD to buy food, pay for living costs and even survive in todays society. This foreign worker programs ALLOWS us to get the work done. \n\nForeign workers brought in on the SAWP program or even low skill program aren't stealing job, they are doing the work that Canadians don't WANT to do as they can't handle it or even believe it's beneath them. Todays youth will never do the work that these people do for us. I respect the work that they do. I would love ANYBODY in the comments below to come to my farm in the middle of summer and spend 8 - 10 hours under the sun for a week and then see what their opinion is.

The bad people are exploitative landlords and employers (and trudeau), not the influx of young peaceful immigrants. But we do need to scale it way back and have a systemic approach to supporting and placing these immigrants. The problem is, our youth don't want to work in the sectors where immigrants are placed. How do we fix that?

It's already half way there . We have a corrupt government a corrupt rcmp force and a corrupt media the rest will fall into place . Talk isn't what's needed anymore action is what's needed .

Maybe Indians are out performing white Canadians. Mediocre white people want to be on top. Indians have a caste system in place which is a form of discrimination. They should stop complaining of racism until they correct it in their own country.\nWhite people should stop blaming people of color for crime. The worst crimes against humanity has been committed by them.

A good start would be if you wanted to assimilate to Canada. Don't be rude, try to learn the language and don't bring bad behavior over. You move from India to be in a better place, so don't make it worse here, to accommodate you.

Praying they find a safe place to live and live a good life

You enter Canada as a student visa..u understand student visa for studying here not a permanent and citizens..so u go back to Indian.. don't own Canadian place...u know your limit why u are here..and don't rally rally here ..rally to your country not here..

Good..go back to you place..you come only here for student visa not citizens..

Trudeau and jagmeet who makes Canada more worst for bringing them in Canada..so permanent and citizens Canadian can't find job because of them..Canada is not Canada place anymore its Indian place

People are using USA lands as their first nation to keep their countries of origin just the place for their vacations! Fixing or limiting the numbers of people from out of usa could help for many things.

This is our government's fault. You can't blame these fraudsters for trying but you can blame Trudeau for enabling it in the first place. He really has no grasp of foreign cultures and moral values. They are not Canadian.

For young male, Germany is not good place to work. They are doing female quarter policy in academy. As far as you are not LGBT, the policy can deter young male. Discrimination to female is the fault of older generation. Why young male should get disadvantage? People criticize such policy are defined as far right or sexist. I do not like that atmosphere.

This Punjabis litter all the places

when the worlds poor line up and want you to support them, that is a problem . the numbers are to high for Canada , you have destroyed your country by letting in millions of people who cannot support themselves . plus they crowd out Canadians from the housing market . if you already have you own homeless don't let any more in until they all have a place first. start deporting millions until you have your country back.

So you prance around the world like a spoiled brat your entire privileged life\ntaking your nation for granted, and now that Canada has changed for the worse\nyou decide to leave...\nGuess what? The reason Canada has changed for the worse\nis because you have been prancing around the world neglecting your ETHICAL and MORAL\nand CIVIC responsibilities TOWARDS YOUR NATION... as have millions of other Canadians.\n\nIf all Canadians were like you: They would also leave Canada the minute Canada got a little worse.\nThen all citizens would leave their country the second things got a little worse.\nThen there would be no nations and no citizens... just spoiled babies looking for greener pastures.\nThen nobody would fight for their country... then there would be no patriotism, no nationalism,\nno countries: Just insane billion of spoiled babies like you scrambling around all over the world\nlooking for a better place to live...\n\nHave you ever thought of being intelligent enough to find out just WHY and HOW Canada got so bad?\nDid you ever get interested in Canadian politics? NO? Why not?\nIf you had stayed in Canada and become aware of the dangerous trends instead of prancing all over the world;\nyou might have been able to fight these evil forces that have destroyed the Canada you once loved...\nBut you don't love anything or anyone... The minute something become inconvenient you leave.\n\nSo piss on you and all the others who forsake their own nation; because you are the growing mass of\nof Hedonists who have NO commitment to the land you live in.

How embarrassing for India why are there people leaving? Isn’t it the super power of the world, you guys scream off the top of your lungs, is the best place.

Nothing like pointing out the assumed good and bad points of living in BC\nWell i'm 81 and lived most off my life in BC, and found it to be extremely high in crime and racism,\nI was always a loner and never wanted to bother anyone,\nI got attached with a knife, shot in the arm, bullied by many, and the people you work with are always ready to run you down, and employers are very narcissistic, Learned that first hand,\ni also think many other provinces are just as bad,\nThey should send all immigrants back to where they come from\nSince they do not respect the original customs of what Canada used to be,\nToo many people think internally as me first you last,\nAnd having been a hunter, when you have hunter, telling you he literally owns an area as if to threaten you,\nAnd having strangers shoot at you vehicle and also having strangers shoot at you from a distance, \nCanada is no longer a decent place to live,\nGo home immigrants, We don't need your criminal element.

The USA needs to put in place shower areas at the border to prevent Indians entering the USA.

If USA allow the Hindu Indians, USA will be definitely safe, If USA allow Syrians, pakistan muslims, and Middle East Muslims then USA place tickling Time Bomb on its Lap , so USA may Allow Hindus into it

They only wanted the Indians to come in the first place to pay towards the failing pension systems.\n\nPension systems that will be going bust in the 2030s.

You came to Canada to study not to work focus in your study and in the first place they know how expensive it is to study abroad they should already expected to be expensive to study mostly rich family send there kids to study internationally they took the risk and it’s not Canada’s fault to change there policy for others

You come to Canada, presumably for a better education. Take this knowledge, and your skill set back to India, to make it a better place to live. Otherwise, Canada becomes a country of Indians. Simple math, 1.6 BN Indians, 40 MN Canadians. What percentage of Indians, Chinese, and others have to move to Canada to eventually become the majority?

But why government let students to work in canada at the first place? If they have finished school they should leave.

Water and natural resources not subject, that is normal think . Intresting is only country people's living systematic lifestyle. \n\nIf companies is less in canada not good compition in market , so people's buying every less price products in much money like foods , air tickets houses \n\nAnd internet crime that is many places in the world . Because public is not devlope. \n\nMedical or pharmaceutical in india If people's is educated in medical then pharmaceutical companies can not do good buisness in india \n\nBecause in india every people's is not educated in medical so pharmaceutical buisness good in india \n\nBecause which people's is educated they will not eat medicine or they will eat very less

The U.S. feels the same way about people from India. You dont belong here in the west, aren't wanted here, aren't welcome here. It boggles the mind that all you foreigners insist on placing yourselves where your NOT WELCOMED. Your so arrogant you dont care which makes you all the more unwelcome. Take the not so subtle hint and go back where you belong.

Too many...no where to place them.

The only place he's leading Canada to is one humungus COLLAPSE of the economy!

Y would anyone wants to work or live in Canada. It's a sad sad place
