I'm gonna have a guess and say it's either Japan or South Korea. I'm probably wrong but hey, wherever you're moving to, I hope it all works out for you. You only get one shot at life so live it while you can.

I mean, you come to a country and you have to adjust and learn the language. Pretty straightforward, and most of us are doing it.\n\nBut when on the other side you have people who do not understand the effort and have no patience for it, it is a frustrating experience. It is also annoying that you know they need you here, they know they need you, but none of that is reflected in the way people coming in are treated.\n\nA lot of us also come with skills and accomplishments behind us. And then we need to play fish-out-of-water for a while, speak a language in which we know we sound incompetent and we can see someone underestimating us (because they lack the understanding of what our situation brings). And last but not least, a serious problem with patience and empathy.\n\nThese are all issues you will find in other countries too. But man, Germans are not good at dealing with it. And more and more it seems to me they do not even care (other than the few german friends I have, who always make me second guess my generalisation).

''Why is anti-immigration sentiment on the rise in Canada, and the rest of the western world ?\n\nWell, take a guess, or better yet, look around !

Ya the time has come across the developed world with the aged population where you can’t continue being racist and developed at the same time … before I guess, you could … most, but not all developed countries were developed while they colonized large swathes of Asia, Africa and South America … so they never developed the appetite, desires or muscles to mingle with their inferiors let alone allow them to take jobs in the countries where they hailed from … but now one can’t do or live that way

I guess now we know how some of the Native Americans must've felt (and still do). ?

Here I thought you could get somebody out after 3 months of non pay. I guess times have changed.

I imigrated here in 2008, I agree with ya, guess they will call me far right too lol

Hahaha this is the Guardian left leaning newspaper doing documentary on immigration, guess what the conclusion would be - more third world immigration?!? Most of the people I found that promote immigration are not the ones that really do anything to provide more infrastructure, they are the one that you can really do with out, some academics in the social sciences, career politicians, mostly pen-pushers. Have a look in UK who works in building sites and then look at people who are getting free housing, you need not look further to understand the unfairness and why people feel bitter. Importing people who produce many children is not the answer, unless you want future voting base.

The same reason it's on the rise in every western country I guess?

I guess you should talk about illegal immigrants ?\n\nBecause otherwise you would be unable to get millions of dollars that is coming from legal immigrants

I guess I’ll be having to move to the US if I want any chance of getting housing or work. People who haven’t physically seen the stuff that’s happening here only know the bare minimum. Everything is too expensive, there’s no “Canadian culture” anymore, you can’t get a job, you can’t find a decently priced apartment, rooms for rent (private) are going for 1200$ a month in Toronto (and I’ve seen more expensive). I’m not excited to grow old in the country where I was born as it’s being run straight to the ground. It’s very sad.

Why is anti-immigration sentiment on the rise in Canada? I'm gonna guess the answer: Because there is a rise in immigration.

Let me guess, affordable housing availability?

I guess Biden administration believes all those illegals they allowed in earlier who they give money, free housing, and Healthcare is enough (votes) to secure their next dummy president.

People don t like being stabbed ,I guess.

Guess dude should get a job instead of relying on other people to give him their hard-earned money.

Erm let me guess way too many people from all over the world settling there , same as UK...by the way this makes me right wing and a racist?

What a mystery! I guess we will never know!

Why? Just guess......

To me Canada was always American Sweden. I guess now it's finally your turn to prove me wrong.

Because there's too much immigration? Just a guess. Does the Left of which I am a part have any notion of why borders exist and why one should restrain immigration?

When immigrants are complaining about too many immigrants. I guess the problems are at the government who ain’t doing its job as usual

I guess you never met the Canadian government staff.

I guess we should make that thing a draw bridge

Why is there not a registry that shows problematic tenants? Oh, I guess that would never happen in Toronto due to their leftist agenda.

75% of Americans half of Democrats and almost all of Republicans want the Border closed and everybody rounded up and sent home if you speak Spanish migrated to a Spanish country if you're a Muslim migrate to a Muslim country you have no right to come here just because you think you do if I migrate to Mexico Mexico throws me out guess what we should do to you the same thing

In BC, the tennant has more voice because theres a lot of people who take advantage of the housing market i guess..

They could still take people in who are in immediate danger. I mean, sure he's gotta point, but looking at another similar situation in Ukraine where people HAD to leave like elderly people, women and children who weren't in a position to fight the invading Russians, Western nations took in millions of refugees. I think Saudi Arabia could do more than just being spectators, but I guess they can't hear the plight of Palestinians due to the noise of their luxury cars ?.

Any house in any neighbourhood you see if is filthy garbage everywhere, take a wild guess where they’re from?

Yeah pretty sure that’s invasion Jan6 was the end of the world but this ok I guess

No one is talking about the root problem of the refugee crisis. Guess why?

Canada needs immigrants who want to become Canadian....Who share Canadian values. Some groups seem to have an issue with integration and shared values, take a guess!

Build more prisons.\nThat's free labor..\n\nOur 13 amendment states\nSlavery is illegal except for felons.\n They trying to get that 15k food stamps and 5k cash.\nWhen i cant pay my bills.\nWTF \nWe are so corrupt.\nI guess only law breakers are the ones who win.

But Canadians keep voting for the same politicians who have allowed this to happen so I guess they like their country turning third world economically and demographically.

Guess people should look at other retirement options then exploiting our real estate system

The govt has exactly what they need to combat this bullshit and they can get away with whatever they want so I guess this makes them a bunch of pussies

Only in Canada? The problem of immigration is everywhere in the Western world, and the anti-immigration sentiment is just a normal and healthy reaction. \nThis massive immigration influx pushes the increase in prices of housing to mad levels, and it's just a matter of time that the entire population realises about it.\nHere in Spain it is already unsustainable, crazy prices, no rent units available. So I guess only anti-immigration political parties will win the elections from now on. And it will be fair.

Meanwhile I get evicted for asking for a rent receipt. Bank records aren't evidence anymore I guess. Likely it's because I'm the wrong colour. It is called Social Justice Tribunal

Landlords are taking advantage of supply and demand and over charge people. People I guess are saying F you! Were in a housing crisis and there are human rights laws . Peoples fundalmental rights under the code are being violated. I would say class action law suit against Canadian government. They increased immigration from 1x to 4x in a short period of time in a neglience way. I think Canadians are wimps compared to Americans...you know in the US everyone sues. Very different in that way. Here people just suck it up. Too polite and passive. Side note Look at line ups for fast food. Horrible service . No cashiers . You wait forever now and the funny thing is you see people just stand there all the time and accept the garbage service. Its hilarious. In the US people speak up and show feelings and emotion or just walk out. Here everyone is soft. At least every single time I have observed this behavior. Come on people we have to take a stand man. Stop being too polite and stick up for your rights.

CNN finally waking up. 3 and half years late but better late than never, I guess...

I guess canada should take immediate actions for rental scam landlords and filthy employers don’t give enough money.

The same issue is playing out in Australia, and surveys have shown 70% of Australians believe immigration is too high. \n\nIt's almost like doing something without the will of the people, that is eroding culture and living standards and driving up property prices, will lead to a backlash! \n\nMust be racism I guess!

I will never understand a government being like “Oh you want to immigrate here? I guess I’m now responsible for 100% of your life. Come on in.”

Oh guess why hahahaha

Well..we have been taking illegal immigrants from the US at rainbow road for yeara so I guess it is the US's turn now.

anyone have a guess why???,

Because Canadian born students with exceptional grades have difficulty accessing post secondary money first institutions perhaps? Or when non-canadian born immigrants purchase a gas station and purge the canadin born kids and hire one race? Or when non-canadian born managers only hire from their ethnic group in security jobs? Because temporary foriegn workers keep wages low? I guess they're paying CPP to keep it afloat.

my question is, how do some people stay on PR for like over 10 years and not get citizenship? I guess their country of origin does not allow dual? Would getting canadian citizen show their loyalty to Canada?

I moved here to in Toronto 2021 I went to Toronto Island first time you will see There are still a lot of whites, and other nationalities. Fast forward to 2024 I went back to Toronto Island guess what On the ferry left and right you will see indians no white people

If you're on-time... you're LATE!! Im guessing his interpreter was immediately fired.
