But how comes Canadians are giving citizenship to foreign nationals who doesn't even speak the language?? I live in Europe, I speak 4 languages, yet I'm an illegal immigrant ? Canada, please take me! ?

Chinese speaking British accent hating on Chinese migrating to Canada

Speak English your in Canada \n\nQuebec: am I a joke to you?

It is so sad that even if you dont know how to speak english you are approved or given residency here in Canada, a lot of Chinese here in Mississauga dont know how to speak english, and yet they are working

The canadians are as cold as their weather...poor guy got rejected after such a DUMB MOVE .Generally speaking living in the US is way easier than in Canada ,where you have to be a genius (overqualified) to get almost any decent job.Not to mention the brutal winters (except vancouver) Only 2 good things about canada : it's healthcare and safety . Much easier to have a comfortable life in the US despite being undocumented .You just have to keep a low profile and be a law abiding citizen.The american economy is simply the BIGGEST in the planet .So many businesses : someone will give you a chance ...as simply as that !

Speak english! Its canada (In a fuckin country where english AND french are spoken. )

I get 5.5 in ielts \n4.5 in reading\n5.5in listening\n5in writing\n6.5 in speaking\nOverall 5.5 is it possible to go in canada

As a permanent resident based on merit who worked two years to get it, I feel like my work was worthless because people who simply bought their citizenship and can’t even speak English or have any basic merits to qualify for PR are all too common in Canada. The Canadian skilled migration is a scam, skilled workers are better off going somewhere they will actually be valued.

So you’ve lived in the US for years and lived in Canada for a year and you still can’t speak English... you break the law everywhere you’ve been... you don’t actually seem to want to integrate yourself into either American or Canadian culture. This guy sounds like a class act

Its Canada, speak French!!

Speak French it’s Canada ohh wait your American Canadian

She said speak english your in Canada but like half of the popularity in Canada speaks French like what????

All the people who are speaking awful about their back home, can’t be trusted. If they have no feelings or respect for their own country which gave them shelter, food and every possible facility then how much loyal they can be to be a new country. All of them survive in Canada by doing labor class jobs (not disrespecting any work). If you are earning in dollars then you are spending in dollars too. If you are happy by earning $3000 per month then I’m afraid about your goals in life. Respect your country and people first

So he was living in the United States most likely using a citizens Identity for working and now he wants to live in Canada but can't speak English ??‍♀️. The world is dangerous we can't take the world in. Violence and crime is everywhere.

Bhai very low speak English bolne wala bhi Canada jaa skta hai kya

Need a new law in Canada and the US - In order to claim asylum, you need to speak decent English and live in a detention center. You don't get to claim asylum while begging for work in the parking lot of Home Depot in Spanish. No asylum hearings unless living inside the detention center. It's time to send Jose home.

I thought it was bad that a year later in Canada, he still isn't speaking English whatsoever, but interviewed in his native tongue. Then I see that he was in the US for 15 freaking years, and didn't bother there either. I see he and his family has no intention of assimilating. How long before we have a little El Salvador, w/ all the crime they supposedly left. People that won't assimilate to us inevitably bring all their country's crap and woes w/ them. Also, this man who can't be bothered to speak our language is getting work in Alberta. Where native Albertans who do speak English are hard pressed for work. So how chaotic is that job site he's working on not speaking the language? Or do we already have little El Salvador there and he's right in w/ his homies?

He was in the USA for 15 years, then went to Canada. But he doesnt speak Any English. Not exactly willing to Assimilate!

So desperate to live in English speaking places: USA and Canada, yet they can't be bothered to assimilate properly and learn to speak fluent English.

he will never get a job in Canada doesnt speak English.Welfare forever.Send back to USA

Not even surprised haha in Saskatchewan and Alberta, the slight racism is just normal I am really experiencing . One day, I even got this situation that I went to Costco at Medicine Hat and one kid froze his face and said “ why are you guy shopping here if you don’t speak English “ and this episode is just not even level one.\nI really wonder how white people can say Canada is their country . Seriously?? is Canada white people’s country ??

If all you can do is hammer nails, and you can't even speak the language, why would we want you?\n\nThe USA and Canada has plenty of young men who need to shut off the X-box, get off their fat arses and go get a job.

I'm 60 years old am a dark skinned woman from America and of Africa decided and I feel it in big and small way every day..like those kid in Canada I speak up. Will it ever go away tho????

So he felt rejected? Let me explain why he is rejected. He lived in the US for years and now he is in Canada. Both countries are English speaking countries and he doesn’t seem to speak English. So yes is was rejected, but he rejected us first.

Speak English. Even if we ask please or suggest instead of hammering it or shouting it. Us Americans will be seen as racist or unsympathetic.. no matter if we're black or white. This is outrageous. He's just border hopping at this point. Thought he was ahead of the game and first in line to this unique idea of rushing further north to Canada. Refugees, he should be fined for faking a class of persons. Refugees are real. He is not one. Smh

First of all, how the hell did you even go to Canada. You look like a Mogli. You are in Canada and cannot speak few words in English...Canada is so messed-up.

Everyone who is planning to go to Canada know English. Then why dont u speak in English ?

Speak english its canada? Lmao we also speak french in Canada xDDD dumb women

Canada must speak to Swedish people as how they living in fear

So they are not successful from being in Canada. They stay in China when they are supposed to be in Canada to learn Canadian life and then come back successful, with a family, don’t speak average or minor English and expect people to respect them

so you might think this means with fluent english, some job experience with a mid degree and money to sustain yourself for a year anyone can immigrate to canada if this women who cant speak english did.. the answer is NO. there is a big chance u will be rejected..

Even she is not aboriginal how come she said that ?? extremely uneducated.. speak English it’s Canada.... yes that’s why we call here Canada, not England lol

He doesn't even speak either of Canada's official languages. What did he expect?

Wait dont they speak French in Canada?

Don’t let the door let hit you on the way out ! Please go to Canada! Liberals will let you stay in their homes! Especially if you don’t speak in any English. Why learn English when liberals insist that “diversity” is our great strength ??

Why do people apply for a citizenship while not wanting to live there? I really doubt that these Chinese people want to move to Canada ever. They don't even speak English. Is Canadian cititzenship a status symbol now in China? Like iphones or teslas?

surprised to hear Canada didn't kiss his ass and ask him to stay. From what i understand, they are So open minded and welcoming (for now anyhow until about 25 million show up ..)  My heart goes out to any one, but we in the USA have got to put the brakes on. We can only take in so many.   Just an additional comment ...he is here 15 years and doesn't speak Englsih?????

there are dozens of flaws in Canada's immigration system. I am surprised to see that a person who has not spent a single minute in Canada enters the country as a permanent resident . has not paid a single dollar in taxes enters as a permanent resident. has not played his part in Canada's society and doesn't know fuck about Canada enters as a permanent resident of Canada. it does not surprise me to see people commenting about residents living in Canada do not speak English. \n \nI will give an example of the UK here which is far more developed than Canada and have very high standards. first of all, no one can enter the UK as a permanent resident of the UK. even if their partner is British, they will still come to the UK on a visa. depending on how much their British partner earns, it will take 5 to 10 years for them to settle in the UK, provided they pass the residency test in the UK(which Canada does not ask for whether you are in Canada applying for a PNP or PR or you come directly from another part of the world). a person who gets in the UK as a student spends minimum 7 years, if he is not married to a British /EU national to get a PR, most spend 10 for a UK PR(known as ILR in the UK) provided they pass the test for English and life in the UK (citizenship test). in return, the UK offers to its residents what no other nation offers. canada is giving away residencies as if its a leaflet. it's easier to get a Canadian residency than it is to extend a skilled visa in the UK. I have lived in Canada and felt that standard of living in canada is not very high as compared to the UK. so if Canada offers easy residency to people, it is only because they also know they are not giving away something precious :)

Although it’s been almost a year since this was posted, but Canada is in fact a free country, many people speak their own language and that’s alright, this is truly upsetting to even see the way this lady acts because she’s a grown woman, she should act like her age, our country is multi cultural, many people of many backgrounds live here and the fact she lashed out these people is ridiculous, she should just mind her own business and move on with her own life, stop interfering in others peoples lives

i am watching this polygamy video and u have disabled the comments. first thing first. u dont have to go to imam to verify that if its illegal in canada or not. when the law of the land says its illegal its haram in islam. Allah said follow the rule of the land. follow the law where u live. damned are those people who disgrac islam like this. u see imam himself said it cant be registered. if one marriange cannot be registered how can it be legal in the country so how can it be halal in islam its just common sense. ill tell u what they are doing. they are having their conscience clear that they are not commiting the sin but Allah know well whats in yr hearts. i was jsut telling this exact thing about canada the other day and he did not agree with me but that does not stop me speaking truth.

Deport him and all those illegal Chinese immigrants. Unfair for the other people (from other countries)who follow rules. They don't even speak and read English. Actually Its happening even in other major cities in Canada. That's a very light sentence. For sure he will do it again.

Most of those who give comments here are racists and morons giving comment without thinking. One individual did which is alleged to be crime, they blame the whole race. I met a lot of Chinese here in Canada, they are patriotic Canadians, they even told me that if Canada were to be at war with China, they are with Canada. Though I don't speak their language or share the same culture ,doesn't mean , I am not an idiot and moron to condemn the whole race and culture just because of one person.

And people say that charging the Huawei CEO and worsening ties with China is a bad thing. Imo it's great. They're putting out propaganda in China now because of it to their people that Canada is a bad place. \nThey've ruined Vancouver's housing market and they're coming for Toronto's as we speak.

So much for allowing people into Canada that don't speak one of the two official languages.

Spends all that time in Boston, then runs to Canada. Still can't speak a lick of English.

This is propaganda served up by Trudeau's government to try and silence media with any form of criticism towards Immigration, especially handing out $600 million in payments to social and news media who would not question and only speak favorably on the influx of migrants to Canada. Luckily most Canadians are very aware of what's going on, Trudeau is unilaterally telling Canadians we have to pay for a mass exodus of economic migrants into Canada without a single debate in parliament or even a word to the Canadian people about this horrible idea.

Doesn't Canada speak French? Am I wrong?

What ticks me off is these folks can't speak the language and probably are unskilled. Yet I took in a student from Brazil, who spoke English and was very intelligent, he would have added to Canada not lived off welfare and yet the government wouldn't allow him to stay even though my husband and I wanted to sponsor him. Ya Trudeau loves immigrants especially Muslims and believe me next election I hope he gets the BOOT.

All these years in USA & Canada for what 10yrs and he speaks no English or needs to speak Spanish to communicate? Tells me he is not assimilating.

My French speaking family immigrated to Canada in the great migration of the 1500’s and 1600’s from Europe, as a result my family married into the local tribes. And the last time I was visiting Montreal, Canada to see my relatives, every where I went it was mostly French we spoke. So where does she get off yelling speak English,,,, wow. No wonder parts of Canada want to break free from the rest of Canada
