Maybe my Canadian daughter can come before shes 18, lol

too late for the liberals ....you took the majority of canadians for granted for too long...you affected the culture of western thinking democratic honoring cultures and peoples...you imported a counter culture...an adversarial culture counter to judeo christian values...and counter to democratic loyality....the see both as man made and their own beliefs as god given...they pledge allegiance to their god and thats cool ...but when it is counter your national values and political processes...you have to wonder where the heads of your political leaders has been....maybe where the sun never shines...you think????

A election is coming Canada, maybe that why.

Maybe Canadians will finally have somewhere to live and a job to go to

Duh, fraudee is kinda , maybe, listening to Pierre No. He he's trying to save only himself.

That is a joke ,we got over a million in here not accounted for ,where they living...100.000 is not a drop...I swear if the libs had a clue they would be looking for themselves....maybe cut what Trudeau is paying them a month ,more than Canadians get and ohhhh look we could save a lot !!!!

I live in the United States and I’ve met lots of Canadians who visited the US have come down to live here\n\nI have to admit I’ve only been to Canada twice in my life\n\nI have immigrant family, who lives in Canada and my European Background mothers family came from Montreal to the US over hundred years ago\n\nNeedless to say, I’m familiar with Canadians that I meet here in the US\n\nI am aware that many Canadians superficially to Americans look like Americans, but aren’t and I know from Canadians that they find the lifestyle in parts of the United States, a little bit too intense and experience and expectation\n\nWhat you will find if you look at Canada’s past, history is a trail of Canadians. Who’ve had to come down to the US for employment opportunities as Canada has time not being able to provide the opportunity and sustenance for their population.\n\nI would have to say that perhaps maybe prior to the 2010’s Canada was doing very well and providing quality life for their population and their citizens and the residence\n\nWhat you find out personally is that is being mismanaged when it comes to immigration capital investment in industries And worst of all, not being able to ride housing in a place where exposure to the elements could be certain death for some people\n\nThere user based national health system seems to be freeing and not being able to provide the services that they once provided, which is also something that’s really troubling\n\nAnd now I hear that they have problems providing food at an affordable amount\n\nI wish you well and fighting a place that gives you better comfort and opportunities to grow and affordable lifestyle\n\nI can’t say in the United States you’re gonna find better you’ll find certain cost of living items a lot more affordable, but we do not have a safety net when it comes to healthcare

wow, maybe I will be able to afford a house in 20 years when i'm 47 - great news :D

Dose Trudeau live under a rock, this is not enough maybe 20 thousand coming in in a year not 400,000 thousand he has ruined Canada. Not a single home or job for them here.

wow.... people have really lost site about what life should truly be about... or hell maybe weve never known

I work for an Canadian Indian trucking company in Texas and I have to say Indians are some of the most racist people I've ever met. Which is crazy because in my head I'm thinking didn't y'all invent Karma why are you just continuing the cycle of racism oh well maybe in their next life they'll have more darker skin so they can be hated even more so. Come on don't you want to be enlightened mentally and physically so that in your next life you're born with lighter skin you get it... enlightened. Indian people are gross the racist ones not all of them of course

Obviously, the relatives are smarter than this “legal immigrant” lady. Maybe we should mandate IQ TESTS before we give citizenship.

i’m an indian myself and some indians are causing havoc there so maybe she had a bad encounter, now i’m just sayin

I'm sorry ma'am, but you're not Mexican-American, maybe you're an American citizen with Mexican Nationality, but, not Mexican-American. \nUnder tRump you most likely be deported as well...

These white people should seriously go back to their own land first by that logic? maybe UK or somewhere from where their ancestors actually came and invaded the Americas.

Maybe there are too many Indians everywhere and it's natural that people living there are getting sick of them. Maybe her frustration is justified. It happens everywhere regardless of race. No one wants to see a huge group of people that don't look like them or not from their tribe living on their land. It doesn't matter that she herself does not belong to Canada as a white person nut let's be real. White people have been living on native land for centuries now. The indigenous people are probably tired of everyone and every race who isn't native. Maybe it's time indians stop moving to other countries and start making their own country better. And this is coming from an Indian.

I hope of officer revise her inmigración process maybe it’s like Melanie trump \nCome with tourist visa to work lol?or maybe worse

Maybe her welfare comes from the tax he pays...

2-3 may be in Danger. Maybe even a 50-100. But when 13K apply for asylum....your country has become a damn joke, and is run by a joker.

How heartless and judgmental that person! Maybe her life was not threatened and she could do it the right way....

I guess she never visited indian houses over there maybe their great hospitability might change her mind

I'm sorry but if you want to have Sharia law then maybe go to a country with it

maybe she don't want the next Palestine like situation in her country.

Maybe she can go back to Europe and leave Canada to the natives?

Maybe Canadians should only be those actually born here. Then, they’re working with a clean slate.

Oh, Brampton’s over 80% non-white, and now it’s a 'mass immigration crisis,' is it? Interesting. I wonder how the Indigenous people felt when waves the Europeans came over and started making themselves at home. You know, back when mass immigration also happened, except the native population didn’t exactly get a warm welcome either—more like the opposite.\n\nI mean, isn’t it ironic? A country built on immigration now complaining about… immigration. It’s almost like history has a sense of humor. But hey, at least now we have the internet so everyone can share their thoughts on 'who belongs' in a land that wasn’t really theirs to begin with. Funny how that works, right?\n\nOh yes, Canadian culture and values—those timeless, ancient traditions that go all the way back to… the last couple of centuries? I mean, forgive me, but when exactly did Canada, a country that came into existence through colonization, suddenly develop this pure, distinct culture that’s now under 'threat'?\n\nLet’s talk about Canadian values—like diversity, inclusion, and… oh wait, that’s only good until people from different backgrounds actually show up. Then it’s suddenly a 'crisis.' Classic.\n\nAnd what exactly are we preserving here? Maple syrup and hockey? Because, newsflash, multiculturalism is Canadian culture now. It’s the same 'values' that were conveniently forgotten when Indigenous communities were being erased. But sure, let’s act like a few more immigrants are going to dismantle the grand, rich, centuries-old tapestry of... Tim Hortons and politeness.\n\nHonestly, if the presence of more people of color is that threatening to 'Canadian values,' maybe those values were never that strong to begin with.

India says no evidence was presented. Yet, Canada shares intelligence with all the Five Eyes partners, all of which are backing Canada up, and Canada says it tried to show the evidence to Indian authorities only to have them flatly refuse to look at it. We have given too many chances to resolve this to India. Maybe now is time to release the audio and video recordings of Modi's government ordering the hits for the world to see. Shame on the Modi government.

Get some traction with this movement. Tell people not to come and maybe take a few million back. You are ruining Canada

guys chill. i'm indian. there was fever of going to north america during 2000-2018. when in college many students harboured that ambition. now no more. with explosion of internet in india after Jio advent, we see how life is not so glossy in west. ( i love western ppl.) but we dont want to go to those countries who cant decide who is male or female. indian maybe dirty n poor. but 3 decades later, it will be first world country.(whatever the Fck that term means).

The fact that you are highly educated and earn less than when you worked for Singapore Airlines tells you that this country, ' where i was born ' is descending into a socialist hell, all by design and still people have illusions this will get better however bankruptcies are rising and the middle class is struggling. Maybe the immigration officers should be up front with potential immigrants and show them the real facts about what this country has to offer.

Maybe Hamas should stop terrorizing Israel and breaking all the peace deals in the past

Time to close the gates no more immigrants maybe 20 years after they catch up with the housing

Jesus, man. There are thousands of Palestinians trying to escape their horrors by moving to somewhere safe. Maybe America can refuse them too, and you all can praise us for it.

when i studied last 1995, rented 3 rooms etobicoke toronto apartment $950. now maybe more.. ttc monthly pass $88. a trip ttc ticket $2.

Or maybe they don't want terrorism

For licensed doctors I would think that the 4 years would be a snap if you already know the material but beside that , if they went back because they could work in their field in there home country then why did they come here in the first place. Obviously it wasn't violence or fear for their lives.\n If they come here and enjoy the first years but then the reality kicks in when the benefits stop that they may have to work for minimum wage and they now know that a person making minimum wage in Canada is makes you homeless, can't afford a car or the gas, insurance and can only buy food , that they realize that they were better off where they were. It;s time our government informed these people of the harsh reality of how our governments have allowed our once great country to become place where it;s citizens suffer under these financially inadequate conditions that are only made worse by immigration numbers that far exceed our ability to house them. Maybe have them try to support themselves on the income they would get here while they are still in their country, or if it made a condition that our government must prove that they can sustain themselves with minimum wage before they can immigrate then immigration would be denied because heaven help them if minimum wage isn't enough because welfare/odsp is like jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

I am a mechatronics technician who has finished an apprenticeship this year. Ausländeramt gave me the shittiest visa ever for two years. Like its really hard to change a company in first two years. Bascially you have to ask for permission Ausländeramt which lets Agentur für Arbeit controll the request. Then they wait for the answer and maybe a lot of time later they will write me back. So a potential positon may be away at that time. I like I wrote a request in June 2024 and still havent got the answer. Great, isnt it?

I am so sorry, as a native Canadian, that Indians are feeling attacked. It is difficult, no matter your ethnic background, if you are not Indian to even acknowledge these issues because people are afraid of being labelled as racist so I thank you for bringing this topic up. Please understand this is the result of runaway immigrations with no real screening. The government quadrupled immigration, hundreds of percents increase in students, asylum seekers, and illegal entries, even though there was already a housing crisis, and a completely predictable doctor shortage due to aging out. Covid was just starting to get under control but many still needed treatment and BOOM, the population went from 30 million in 2014 to over 40 million in a decade, most of it in the last 3 years. We native Canadians are scratching our heads, we don't understand what the Liberals are trying to accomplish but to create suspicion and racism between groups of people -- divide and conquer? Maybe...but ultimately it is a complete lack of planning! Still 99 percent of Canadian born do not blame Iindividual ndians for this. I've lived and worked with Indians my entire life of over 60 years. There are now Indian gangs, particularly Punjabi gangs because of lack of oversight, and while they are small they are constantly committing crimes, selling drugs, shooting people all in the last few years. I hear gun shots nightly in my ethnically mixed neighbourhood, and we are all afraid to walk at night. Unfortunately the people arrested are mostly from continental India. Some have a political agenda that has to do more with India than Canada, so they recruit young Indo-Canadian children from good families and tell them they are being oppressed, and next thing these kids are acting as drug mules and enforcers, being told that they are fighting systemic racism. As for dancing and music, I love the cultural events, we are happy to see and even take part in Indian cultural events. IWhen I do hear people blaming India and Indians it breaks my heart too! Hopefully together we can fix this. Our governments are at odds, and I hate this -- they need to respectfully talk and work this out. You are good neighbours, good people, you are welcome here and have helped build Canada in so many positive ways. ?

Canada was taking in 300,000 new Canadians each year, year after year. And during that time new housing starts declined.\n\nIt isn't rocket surgery. Maybe we could take a breather, and build some housing. Then think about immigration.

Or maybe take the squatters to the US of A,s

Why there's no homeless indians? Whoever came here has made a huge investment already to even be present here. So we do whatever it takes to not end up on streets. And if situation does get bad, alot of us go back every year.\nAlso, since when was working harder a negative trait?\n\nWith white canadians, the majority of them chose this lifestyle. Maybe try getting off the fent and you won't end up homeless again.

Maybe you should of stayed in your corner and been ok well covid proofs the point hum

I’m sympathetic I really am for the innocent people of these areas but the western world cannot fix that problem that is something that the Islamic people will have to figure out themselves.\n\nI know this is gonna be politically incorrect, but most Muslims are fanatical about Islam and freedom house index put it as high as 40% are fanatical Islamist view, and completely contradictive and hostile towards western civilization and western religions.\n\nI’m sure I’m gonna see the people commenting on this saying Islam is a religion apiece and in fact maybe half or more or even peaceful people but that still leaves you with about 450 million people who are potentially easy prey to be radicalized like you see with the Islamic terror organizations in the Middle East. \n\nThe Muslims are probably the most religious people on the planet and they are still in their religious dark age which is pretty much lasted their entire history. Something that Christianity grew out of 400 or 500 years ago. \n\nEuropean countries have been fine for thousands of years with the people they already have. There’s no need to bring in a vast majority of people who are believers in a ideology hostile to anything non-Muslim. And that is just a fact i

But you know, keep your land, but maybe don't vote terrorism into power.

A true patriot, but maybe don’t attack the woman. Woman are woman wherever they are from. If he did this too some dudes, he would be the man

What if all the Christians countries do not accept the muslim refugees asylum seekers maybes the world have peace and Arab Muslims will not going to protest around the world and they will be quite in their own country and work for their living.

What people from Punjab doing in Brampton is not right .but there is clearly very hate from you towards them.its funny how you keep identity yourself as CANADIAN,maybe try say that in front of indigenous people(THE ORIGINAL CANADIAN)

My daughter is nearing the end of 2 great years in Canada on an IEC (backpacker) visa from Australia. She’s loved the people, the landscape (mostly lived in BC and Alberta) , and working there…. She picked up interesting jobs, worked very hard, just about made ends meet, has been great. \n\nShe was even offered a permanent job by a major Canadian co last year (she was working for them on a one year role at the time) that would’ve paved the way for her to apply for PR…but she turned it down without a second thought….. for all the reasons you would know about \n\n- Wages aren’t great (maybe 20% less than australia), \n\n- taxes are high (incl having to pay CPP…in australia the employer pays all pension contributions, on top of wages), \n\n- groceries prices out of kilter, \n\n- rents consume most of what’s left…. \n\n- AND, even if you could save a deposit for a house, or shoebox apartment….what’s the point, could never afford it. \n\nShe’s seen nearly all her Canadian friends resigned to their fate of being perennial renters, of being perpetually skint. It’s no life. She’s sad to see it - coming from a country of perpetual optimism and opportunity, to learn over time how such a (on many levels) similar country isn’t like that, that has somehow got it all so wrong. \n\nIf you are thinking of “australia” as your answer, it’d be a fair call\n\n- Avoid Sydney if you can (a less expensive Vancouver) but rest of the place is “workable”. \n\n- Average wage in Perth is $100k (C$90k) and average house (full size…not an apt or townhouse) price is about $700k (C$630k) …so do-able, if tight to start with, for youngsters (like you..!) \n\n- I’ve been to Vancouver’s East Hastings St, and so can confirm is nowhere close to that in Oz. Are sketchy parts of all cities, but it’s definitely not community wide\n\n- are small pockets of homelessness (esp but not only indigenous community) but the governments are mostly (sort of…) “on it” \n\n- sun, sea, sand… and the sharks rarely come close to shore!

Imagine how the Native Americans felt when they were invaded. History tends to repeat itself. I know things are different nowadays and yes they should go about it the legal way but if you think about it, what the Europeans did to the Native Americans is similar to what is happening to us now. Minus the mass genocide and forced culture conversion. We're all descendants of immigrants. This nation was built and formed by immigrants. Back then though there was no legal precedent to worry about. Our ancestors came here and just took over everything. Maybe we're paying for the sins of our ancestors. Karma's a bich. Just so no one thinks otherwise, I firmly support the legal way to become a citizen.

GOOD, GET THE HELL OUT. Maybe we can have our clean, safe quiet country back.
