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.

In the more than 80 applications and several interviews I underwent to land my 1st job in Canada, I started to notice something: I was primarily being contacted by people who had migrated to Canada at some point in their lives. Although I saw this as an act of solidarity, it also made me question why I hadn’t been contacted by more Canadian-raised hiring managers and recruiters. Today, I think I may have at least a part of the answer.\nAfter a few months surrounded by co-workers who recently migrated to Canada, and interacting mainly with Canadian customers, the colliding of cultures has become evident to me. Letting a person finish their sentence before jumping to give a solution, asking “may I?” before taking an article off someone’s hands, and true active listening, all these things go a long a way in building relationships. Doing the opposite causes friction and even arguments where customers explicitly say: “Please don’t talk over me, listen to me first.”\nPutting myself in the shoes of a hiring manager who is culturally Canadian, knowing that Canadians are very risk averse and kept to themselves: Why would I stir the pot in the workplace by bringing in a foreign worker who may have internalized habits that are seen as rude and abrupt?\nIt’s not only about English skills, degrees, who does things faster, etc., but cultural awareness. If you don’t take the time to learn about the culture of the place you are migrating to and/or expect that locals welcome habits that could be perceived as rude and shocking to most Canadians, you are going to limit your network to only people in your cultural group - which will definitely hinder opportunities for growth. Don’t make the mistake of assuming that everybody thinks and acts the same as you do.

You know what to say part American citelevision with all of this laugh wing? Democrat mainstream knew now they wantna talk about the problem. But it couple of years you're talking about all the people who walk over the border and took advantage of a 4 hour American cat money. So see it in and MSNBC. What took so damn long?To have this conversation

What CNN is saying is not accurate. Trump said he had a productive conversation with Mexico President. Even if that conversation was never held, Mexico government has not done much to prevent people coming through the border.

Trump thinks of himself as a bully. He think Canada and Mexico are beneath the US. He will learn that these countries have backbone too. Unlike his suppoters, they recognize his lies and bullying. Mexico President is confident because she already has a deal with Biden. Trump is lying and claiming he made her back down. Not even knowing she and Biden worked together to slow immigration and drugs. He is the most uninform President ever. Always claiming he don't know people speaking on his platform. He has already started claiming things he did not do. Slow down at the borden, Biden. Economy doing better, Biden. Remember when he starts saying this is his economy, know he is lying. Biden's.

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 :)

These wyt people will just move to a different drug. They should Just say no???????????. After all they are superior ????

People don't realize he's saying that because everybody's going to start freaking out in a way and who knows who out there on each side of the Border who's still in drugs to slow it down otherwise we're going to have a problem that's why he's seen it it's get people thinking he probably won't do it as bad as what you think

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.

That is mature discussion people expect CNN & public representatives to say \nRemove the incentive flies will go away themselves

The Ford EV one of my friends drive was made in Mexico. Another friend told me that her refrigerator and tv was made in Mexico as well. So, I think the general population is (including myself) a little ignorant about where the household items we use everyday come from. It's not just avocados, tomatoes, beer, and tequila and immigrants arriving from the southern border. As for Canada, we import most of our gas from there, as well as, precious metals. I suppose that if we are struggling financially now, what is coming our way might be a little worse for some people. I have friends that say that prices going up does not affect their budget at all. It does affect mine though. That's where we are.

pretty crazy to think that the president of one of the most corrupt countries on the planet would have anything to say ...................her country smuggles people in the millions and has been trafficking drugs for over a century......how about a little humility from this shhhhhthole country????

Come on now. At least show the people on that poll. You might of and I say might of had a 1000 people on that !!! Also the only reason Trump supporters even watch cnn is to laugh at your guys reactions. That’s it.

The problem with here is also with Khalistan issue (of course not all Punjabis there want Khalistan and are absolutely chill people and people here in India, Punjabis, also don't want Khalistan, I have some close friends who are Sikh and are most Dildaar, Big-hearted, people I know). A lot of extremist groups which want, Khalistan ARE supported and protected by the Canadian government especially by Justin Trudeau and these people are committing nothing but violence and terrorism in the name of free speech. Indian government has issued many extradition requests, but the Trudeau government has done nothing about it and has protected these extremists. Over the years Indian government has warned Canadian government about this issue constantly and after years of housing these Canadian terrorists (because Canada calls them their citizens and protects them, what else can be the correct term for them and nothing like Khalistan exists) they've started to cause problems for the people already living there (like the terrorists Pakistan was housing are causing problems to them). They know they are not gonna get a Khalistan in India so where else are they gonna build it? Voila! Canada! This is the reason behind them not assimilating with the existing culture.Trudeau has even gone to lengths of calling Amit Shah (Home minister of India) and PM Modi (if you don't know what the heck are you doing here go study geopolitics a bit) unalivers of Hardeepsingh Nijjar WITHOUT any evidence (they just keep saying they have it but have shown nothing till now) and because of which Canada has worsened its relations with the Indian Government. They are even comparing India with the likes of North Korea in terms of threat. Indian Government in reply is giving Canada the same treatment it gives to Pakistan (a bit better of course, but the diplomacy has gone to sh it. And the reason why Trudeau is doing all this, yeah VOTES for sh itty domestic politics he's sacrificing long term GOOD relations with the Indian Government. Now, you may think that worsening relations with India is a good thing for Canada, yeah no, its not good because India has trade relations with Canada which may worsen due to this (yeah, great going for an economy which is already in shambles) and UK or US are not gonna do anything to India over Canada because India geopolitically has more significance than Canada (I'm not bragging, please don't misunderstand). This rant has gone to a very different tangent but yeah a lot of problems Canada is having is mainly due to their government. Any of Canadian friends (I have not reason to hate you) and Punjabi brothers/sisters (Yeah, unless you are some sh itty extremist you are a brother/sister to me) please don't take this offensively. Peace.

she has meetings every morning just like lopez obrador did as a relationship between administration and the people of mexico to discuss and share plans for growth of the country so saying she held a meeting just to discuss trumps rederic is misleading and missinformation because she was going to have regardless of the topic at hand. shame on you cnn

Just in case you just forgot already, We the Great People of America just defeated by vote, the progressive democrat socialist on their way to government run Communism and its bias media apparatus in lock step with them, that tried to silence us all!! ETC, yes pay attention to what just self imploded inside itself!! We the American people's as one will not allow one party to rule all, for we all have a say now!! As it should be!! America Strong!! USA USA

The president of Mexico is lying! I know of people that say that Mexico was supplying free buses to the border.

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….

The US unemployment rate is currently just under 4.5%, or about 7 million people theoretically available to fill job openings. \nIt’s highly likely that most of these folks are unemployable.\nSo, who’s going to work on the hundreds of thousands of factories that will need to be built in the US when trump “brings all those jobs back to America”?\nThen, on top of that, who’s going to replace the 10+ millions of undocumented workers that will be deported?\nGood luck with that, and enjoy the new, improved, and higher prices on everything you buy. \nLike they say, you get what you vote for.

Who cares ??? People say they want a more ‘green’ planet and we outsource everything. ??? I’m with Trump !

If they don’t take care of the cartel, their drugs goes to show you they’re sold out to the cartels and they say it’s Trump‘s problem and send the US military thank you forces to take out every cartel in Mexico New Mexico favor we got over 300,000 missing children from our southern border The cartels dropped them off at our border. Some of them went into sex trafficking. Someone went into slavery I don’t wanna talk about what happens to the others just children a lot of them where Guatemalan after Kamala Harris with Guatemala Guatemala radio was telling kids how to get to America I wish people would study into what exactly going on in our country instead of leaving the propaganda resent our kids off to college to be a doctorate by college professors to believe is the right way to go things are gonna change and change your abruptly. We’re going back to the constitutional Republic, the deep state, a.k.a. the corporation one world order is getting out of Dodge. I just hope they leave quietly and there’s no lost life by pushing Putin into doing something stupid and vaporizing, cities and country folks dying of slow death of radiation for evening Joe Biden said he would do everything in his power to keep Trump out of the lighthouse Jamie Raskin wanted to talk democrat said he would rather create a civil war to keep Donald Trump out of life. The red and Chuck Schumer has almost cost us the life of the Supreme Court, Justice woke his no more and I can’t wait for the new beginning to start.

U people u keep confusing us some say even those within Canada have failed to get jobs and u are here saying Canada is hiring from abroad ???. Some say you have to be be with Canada experience to get a job + work permit

Yippee rejoice and be grateful for our government finally waking up and listening to the people.\nNow send the raghead that says India owns Canada. He's a pile of ?

Do anyone knows the reason why Mexico allows millions of illegal people to enter and travel across the country to enter the US and the government never stop those people? Let's say that Haiti has border with the US and the U S allow millions of Haitians to cross the country in their way to the Mexican border and the US doesn't try to stop them . I don't think Mexico will like that. Am I missing anything?.

What these cnn people say means jack squat

Sheinbaum is literally a narcoterrorist. I can’t believe you idiots are believing a word she says. You can’t blame the demand for drugs on the US, and then blame the demand for weapons by your own people on them as well. Oh well.

CNN how can you say Mexico has done ALOT to help with migration??? You can’t trick people anymore. Mexico is warning the US????‍♂️

this is what the voters wanted? I'm just wondering how he will lie and say it's not his fault and do the Blame game again! which will also distract people while the rich get richer!

Uh, do people not know the difference between saying something and doing something?

This is one of the most delusional news channels I have ever seen, but the worst part is the facts that viewers believe what they say. Inflation occurs when the federal government places to much money in circulation. The Biden administration cut the key stone pipeline, subsequently increasing the cost of oil and gas, while negating the billions being brought in via oil exports. Gave a sizable portion of the stretegic oil reserve to non stretegic countries, increased Government spending on bad programs, sent several hundred billion to fund non stretegic foreign wars and hundreds of billions on housing, medical care and debit cards for illegal immigrants, while doing nothing for Maui, North Carolina and Florida or the millions of homeless and diplaced Americans and American veteran.\nAs for this Mexico issue. The people have spoken. Border counties filled with legal immigrants but flooded with violent illegals voted for Donald Trump because they are living the nightmare created by Mexico and the Biden administration, that these media and political hacks theorize about. The Mexican government has failed its people by allowing the Cartels to fill their pockets with billions every year. \nMexico is also working with China to funnel Chinese goods through Mexico in an attempt to bypass tariffs and flood the American economy with cheap Chinese goods. Don't let this Mexican president fool you, they are afraid of Trump holding them accountable for facilitating this mass invasion on the border. She made this statement publicly as a shakedown tactic instead of talking directly to President Trump. Her actions should tell you all that you need to know about these political puppets. In conclusion, Tariffs are affective because these greedy American and Foreign corporations use cheap labor to make cheap goods that they then sell for major profit. Tariffs tend to make these companies movie to America create American Jobs and pay higher American salaries which are a significant savings over tariffs. The companies lose considerable profits but they gain market share because they understand that when you raise the price of goods you only make the American alternative more appealing.

“The US needs Mexico”, okay LMAO. You are taking the words of a corrupt government official controlled wholly by the cartel at face value. If we did not cooperate with Mexico, why would there be any concern as to why the southern border would weaken? The government has no control over these people illegally entering our country?! During the Biden administration, sure, you can say there was cooperation with our neighbor to the south. What did that do? Record illegal crossings. Trump opposers are idiots, and that’s what YOU are. ANYONE but Trump you say, well you are about to see what happens when someone puts their foot down and saying it’s US vs THEM. We have no friends and we have no enemies in the global economy. We do what’s best for America?! That is something we can most certainly agree on, no???

PRESIDENT TRUMP IS SAYING, SECURE YOUR SIDE OF THE BORDER FROM PEOPLE/ DRUGS COMING INTO THE UNITED STATES. OR PAY CONSEQUENCES. VERY SIMPLE!

All the people saying México will learn its place.. My god... dudes México has been lookin at china closely for the past decade.. \nWe stop trading with them, they start trading with china and russia instead.. Sure they will get hit economically in the short run be we will be F**** in the long run.

Trump is making enemies with our allies! And if he removes the United States from nato, be will just isolate the United States ?? making us weak! Thats exactly what putin wants! Trump is not trying to benefit the United States! Trump is just trying to benefit himself financially! I dont trust trump! I dont like trump! And i know he doesn't have the United States in his best interest! Trump will destroy the United States from the inside out just like he does to all his corporations! People say he's a great business man? Well all of his businesses have mostly gone bankrupt!!

AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE STUPID TO VOTED FOR TRUMP, FOOD PRICES WILL SKY ROCKET HIGH, DON'T SAY A WORD, ITS HAPPEN RIGHT NOW

Mexico just sent 6k troops to the border to slow the migrants because of Trumps tariffs threats. ?\nTrudeau also called to say he was going to cooperate because of Trumps tariff threats. ? \n\nCommunist Democrat media won't tell people that though.

Yeah Mexico has been living large off of our dumb policies. Its time for a change - if Mexico thinks we are naive to believe Mexico is doing what they can to control the Border migration - after millions are in this Country. \nCnn is a lying propaganda machine! \nEvery news station has Law Enforcement people Live on Tv saying how bad the Border is - Cnn says they have sources that have “told” them its very quiet at the Border. \nWe aren’t afraid of Mexico- we won’t need them soon - they will begging to get back in our good graces! \nNothing has happened yet - this is all speculation on Cnn’s part.

When they start deporting people here. She is going to be one of them that gets deported. And I hope before they deport her. I sincerely hope that they can find her. So all of us can see you look on her crying face. And the only thing that I am going to say to her is. #WeTriedToTellYa!

“Trump says Mexico has been taking advantage of a very unbalanced trade agreement, in his first term. Biden did a review on Trump’s tariff and decided not to reverse that.” Booyah! As always, look at the substance of his policies. You all should know even my Mexican friends know that their corrupt govt bureaucrats keep all the USforeign aid money to enrich themselves. It doesn't trickle down to its people.

More Fentanyl comes from India than from China and you know he’s not going to say or do anything to piss them off or do anything for the American people

The fastest way to get your ass kicked in Mexico is to blame Mexico for the drug problem in the United States. Because the Mexican people firmly believe, and this is 110% true, it is actually the drug addicts in America that destroyed Mexico. I used to live there and I know what I'm talking about - an instant argument will break out if you say anything about Mexico drowning America with drugs. Because it's like - what came first - the drugs or the drug addicts? Mexicans just can't figure that one out. Yeah, and this goes back a hundred years or more too.

Ok he”s legal,but what about most of indian people is harming there,did he notice that?he knew and say nothing?

People can say alot of nice things we will have to see what there actions are.

No African should be looking for reparation when their ancestors were heavily involved in the evil act of slavery. And before you say black Americans and Caribbean people have African ancestry (you know exactly what I mean). If you can show that between 1700-1900 your great- great - great grandparents resided in the USA or Caribbean and still carry their masters last names) I feel some of you folks are rewriting history, suggesting that they should be part of the reparations. Forget it!!!! I have personally heard Africans in particular Nigerians say with their own mouths that the Caribbean people and Africans Americans lack culture but theirs was intact because they were never enslaved. Forgetting that slaving was all about dismantling these people identity/dignity so they could be controlled. Now these people who looked down on their “so called brothers” are singing a different tune. No one should receive a penny especially if you cannot show any evidence how you are linked to the plantations in the USA or the LAC region.

I live in Vancouver, I could say that people are kind but not friendly here.

Una no understand say our people dey enter, come begin dey claim say them no get where to go. E don become like Indian movie person go buy him flight money come land dey appli 4 asylum. How them no go come bodyguard thier land.

Stupidity ignorance Prices won't go down.They're just gonna go up.We're not gonna have the people that are doing those jobs out in the field watching the produce, taking care of the produce out in the field This is a hurt woman. This is why she's doing and saying the things that she says

I agree with all you said. I left Canada in 2018 after struggling there for 20 years. I am fortunate to also have American citizenship. Unsure why I held out in Canada as long as I did. So much easier to live in the USA. One thing you missed were the lockdowns. It caused massive disruption to people’s lives and many friendships and families were destroyed. My mother left in 2022 for exactly those reasons. Many others that she’s met now in her current country of residence left for the same reasons. Trudeau. What can I say…??

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.
