How come most immigrants, Indian or not, barely speak any English? The vast majority aren't refugees, nothing prevents them from taking their time and learning the language before coming here.

Our immigration laws are weak. Each and every immigrant must be vetted and must have something to offer in Canada. No more free rides for so called refugees. Only educated and hard working families allowed. No more masses of single men. Its the single men that bring terrorism. Too much idle testosterone

As a white Brazilian, I would say my experience was quite good (I've returned home less than 1 month ago). \n\nApart of some obvious jokes about the 7-1, I've never faced anyone who made me feel unwelcome or undesired, quite the opposite in many situations. Being of German descent certainly made things better. Other white Brazilians I've met told me they had similar experiences.\n\nUnfortunately, immigrants from other Global South countries and non-white Brazilians probably have very different experiences, for the worse. I've heard many unpleasant comments from my German friends and colleagues regarding turks, Arabs, africans and other immigrants from the South of the world. It's certainly a problem for many skilled workers who are not white and could contribute for the country, but they can't thanks to racism.\n\nIn my view, apart of racism, another great problem in Germany when it comes to foreign skilled workers is the lack of digitalization in the country and the bad Internet. Many jobs require good internet connection and digitalization, which are not always provided by the Germans , unlike virtually all the other European countries including much poorer ones. \n\nHaving said that, Germany has many good-hearted, kind and welcoming people (except the racists, of course), and a fantastic culture.

There's enough blame to go around. Mass immigration to countries that simply aren't prepared to take in all of these people is the problem, and the policies of the current Canadian Government, for the record, I'm not Canadian so I'm basically just putting an idea out there, it's seems to be a recurring problem in other countries around the world, so this is going to continue until things change, not just in Canada, but around the world...Good Luck!

Are immigration policies are horrendous and we need to be more like Australia

Completely invading our country, that’s how rude their culture is to often so much attitude towards Canadians - come here and ruining canadas job market and housing market as well as our friendly demeanour. Stop immigration, we are the tax payers for our whole lives. International students and temp visas are not entitled to citizenship

I am an immigrant essentially - finally got my PR after 3 years in 2012 (on a skilled worker application - IT Systems Manager), 10k in lawyers fees - I took exams to prove I can write read and speak English - I maintained a decent level of fitness to pass my medical (cost more money in gym memberships) (I was born and bred in the UK and privately educated there) I bought a house before I was a PR - I had to jump through hoops and I played by the rules to get my PR (I am now a citizen) - I do not understand how these people think that they can just demand what I had to work so very hard to achieve...?

The Canadian visa system has been scammed by unscrupulous travel agents from Punjab and Gujarat. Its a mystery as to how illiterate villagers join Canadian colleges and get PR. The failed immigration system is answerable to the voters and taxpayers. Stop this scam. Deport the students who have done their course. PR is not a natural process after college.

They are not being deported. They came for school, and school concluded and the reasonable expectations are they go home. If the thought was to stay, they would have applied for a different visa. A education visa is not a back door to immigration.

What else would you expect from Immigration Lawyer. ??? It is their livelihood.

Weak disposable income for consumers = less revenue for businesses. Businesses need to cut costs and immigration gates have been neglected & abused.

Liberal government needs to fix the problem it created with immigration. Canadians do not want their taxes going to support unlegitimate refugees or students who feel that they should automatically become Canadian citizens after finishing their Mickey Mouse courses. There are enough Canadian citizens qualified and well-educated to fill in Canadian jobs. Canadian citizens have been negatively impacted by the Liberals decisions on immigration.

This fee for international student is just for education its a deposit for their immigration !! And the universities known it.

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.

So it is true that PM & Immigration Minister Listen to school owners when they implement policies for International Students. \nImagine more than $7k for Canadian & $56 k for International are students considered as abuse by the schools for the International students .

what is this guy saying? we need caps!!! the existing infrastructure is not sustainable for Canadians let alone immigrants! First fix the infrastructure

The Fifth Estate had a great piece on what is actually going on in India and how this people are being scammed. They think that they're talking to a recruiter for a college, when in reality, it's a travel agency. It's sick how Canadian colleges have exploited the weaknesses in the system, and the government has allowed this to happen for so long. And now, after 9 years of Trudeau, the Liberals and the NDPs are back peddling trying to repair the bridges that the helped build and break. They gave the impression that I or any other who had a concern with immigration might be possibly racist or xenophobic. Our government weaponized words to shut our voices down. No immigrant, especially those in India, should be scammed to such an extent that they are living in a country they've never been to before that is bleeding them dry. Our government wants to conceal the reality of what's going on in Canada from the rest of the world, because they want this to keep happening. High cost of living. High cost of food. No incentive to start a family. This policy making is destroying so much Canada to offer to so many.

Come on CANADA we need to fight back an protest for our rights! NOTHING FOR Immigrants!!!!

Its math.....look at the people immigrating and the shortage of homes. The Canadian manufacturing and agricultural sectors have declined to limited relevance. You can't run an economy on retail, real estate, services and debt. Almost half the economy how is public sector spending. That's not sustainable.

As a Chinese immigrant, I have to say that Canada needs to evaluate the quality of new immigrants. For the past 20years, large amount of Chinese immigrated to Canada, 50% of them are wealthy, and brought millions billions of dollars to Canada, especially a lot of rich students who are willing to consume and pay taxes. The other 50% are not that wealthy, but they are working hard while not breaking the rules. Most importantly, they don’t take shit on the beach, and they are afraid to break laws!

The immigration policy in this country is non-functional. The liberal government has no consideration or respect for the constitution or for the country. In general. They are focused only on themselves and how much they can gouge out of the Canadian people by way of taxation. They don't care who lives here or who comes here. They just want the dollars.

As a Jamaican Canadian living here for many years it's getting really hard to survive in this country. Everything is expensive. No work available ?? plus this one-sided immigration policy is killing the country fast fast ⏩

The Canadian and the American ppl are lazy, they do not want to work! Immigrants are willing to work to feed these lazy ppl!!

They're protesting and they outnumber so many other immigrants already makes no sense others need a chance too

Though our Australian capital city Canberra is a lot smaller than that Canadian one, we could say the same is happening here. For the last 10 years or so our city is hardly recognisable with the chaotic immigration from India the govt has brought in.

The US northern border has also seen a increase in illegal immigration

High Immigration

I have a lot of friends that are actual immigrants that do things the right way, and actually have respect for our country. Genuinely feels so bad for them right now being targeted because of these scamming assholes are making good people that actually immigrated here legitimately and/or were born and raised here look bad. It’s not fair to my friends that have to deal with hatred because of these scamming disrespectful assholes.

How about immigration and benefits for the UNTOUCHABLES of INDIA in the U.S and CANADA. CIDIS’S maybe?

The endless decades of immigrants and illegals walking all over Canada’s kindness has led to this type of attitude. Canada is easy to rip off period.

Canada can stay afloat with 4 watertight compartments flooded with immigrants, not 5. Not 5.

You can take the immigrant out of the third world but you can't take the third world out of the immigrant.. Close the border..

Universities and Immigration officials are also complacent in this. I was an international student and before the liberal government we had to show funds, get into a legit creditable and ranked university and maintain grades

America for Christian Americans. Immigrants out, especially Muslims

I understand the language question, and immigrants need to learn German...However, are there enough language courses?

Immigration Student

Immigration but also, and I'm surprised no oneentioned this, Turdeau can't hire any more government employees, he's already over done that once before and why, to skew the unemployment numbers. Could you imagine if he tried to hire another 40,000 government employees.

Americans are pressuring Canada on restricting immigration because they are crossing the border into the US. Good

No one thought this immigrant issue through but giving them thousands of dollars here in the US is Not the answer\nThey are buying houses

our immigration is causing the problem

I literally have no issue with any other immigrant in Canada EXCEPT the indians...\n\nEven the chinese who largly moved here to steal our homes for their own investments, atleast act somewhat normal... They dont poop on our fucking beaches or use their toes to hold deli meats from Subway while making your sandwich.. \n\nGet out of this country!!!

Carbon taxes + unsustainable immigration. So basically the problems is....liberals

They should have calculated how many immigrants they needed to begin with, now those who uprooted their families , sold their businesses etc. to accommodate their trip to Canada now may have to start over that's the other side when they are not careful with other people's lives

American taxpayers are tired of footing the bill for illegal immigrants.

How about we get back to 1967 immigration laws :)

Canadians medium class are not able to pay for the whole planet.\nI don't like those video that tell immigrant how to avoid the law

This is what u get when u have a very easy immigration system

Deport all immigrants. Trudeau government is responsible. He is directly to blame for letting in too many immagrants.

People are putting 2 and 2 together and are coming up with the same solution no more immigrants.

Mass immigration allows big companies to suppress wages and keeps everybody poor
