There are a lot of fraud agencies in Punjab and Delhi and they let these guys come in with fake IELTS scores. Why is Canada not checking them at the point of entry? Deny entry if they can't speak English properly for example. That is the biggest scam going on at the moment and I'm sorry but I do not feel bad if Canada send these guys back to India. We don't want them either but atleast they were born here!

That’s really harsh, Harsh. I understand that the landlord thought the fifteen Patels he leased the apartment to, were the same guy with some memory loss issues. As I am sure many Canadians feel for you, and wish you a safe flight back to India.

hey good on you your expressing the right stuff . i hope you read this message and continue . im in montreal and im a plumber who got sick prior to covid and im truly upset on how quebec is treating english people here . we dont get a chance for jobs were actually told to leave . id love to hear you speak about your general feeling about quebec .

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.

It should be renamed to Indian students demanding free citizenship, I don’t see any other students other Indians. Why do they feel entitled?

I'm at times the only white person in the Bramalea City Centre, how do you think I feel, you people don't talk to me, no sorry, no please and thank you, when I'm in line you go infront of me, no respect, you are very offensive culture

Canada looks like a third world country. Very rare to see white Canadians. I feel like I live in India (dirty place, people dressed crazy, people drive like crazy and cause accidents,) so I decided to leave Canada. Not interesting anymore at least for me.

They want to hear car honks to make it feel more like home.

I accept your message as a positive effort, but take exception that you are ambassadors for India. That is my main concern: many immigrants are not just keeping their old culture but forcing it on native Canadians of all descent. \nFor refugees, it absolutely boggles my mind why you might want to recreate the very situations that you are fleeing from. \nFor Indians specifically, I’ve noticed a tendency to hire only other Indians, excluding Canada from Canadians and I don’t appreciate it. After all, Canada welcomed you. \n\nI think many Canadians had no issue with any culture of nationality. Growing up here, I never saw any hatred or racism, despite what that idiot Trudeau says. In the last 10+ years that’s changed, and the resentment is growing exponentially now. We have been accepting of all other cultures, even when they directly conflict with our own and that tolerance and respect has not been reciprocated and many cases. This leads to resentment. \n\nIt’s not whites resenting Indians or muslims or whatever, it’s Canadians resenting those who disrespect Canada and Canadians! Canadians of Indian descent resent this. Naturalized citizens that truly identify as Canadian resent this. My father and my wife were both born elsewhere and feel this way.\n\nDespite growing up in Canada, I do not speak French. When I go to Quebec, try to speak the language, but I’m pretty bad at it. French-Canadians appreciate the effort even though I’m butchering their language. it’s a show of respect.

The combined incompetence of Trudeau, Miller, Fraser, and Freeland has gutted Canada. As a Canadian I feel like a person in the backseat of a car driven by a drunk driver. Correction - very drunk !!

Well, indian people are feeling entitled, arrogant, doesn't want to assimilate into Canadian culture and way of life, and you bring your filthyness into Canada. Also, your people are scammers, using fake credentials and papers. Last but not the least, your people doesn't know proper hygiene have very BAD BODY ODOUR!

I grew up in Canada and i feel like I have no future because nobody wants to let me work

Why are these students here? Are there no schools in India? I feel sorry for this young fellow, before coming to Canada for an average education that will only lead to a minimum wage job in a ridiculously expensive country, please learn from this young man’s plight.

I find it hard to feel any sympathy. I know several young ppl who couldn’t get summer jobs because the Indians get them all. Universities are just a money making business these days. Hopefully word will spread back in India and they’ll think twice before coming here. Fix your own country instead of r@ping mine.

These people are right. I always wanted to go live in Canada as well, this means a block for my aim as well but I know what residents feel. And they're right.

I'm feeling ashamed ? instead of moving to abroad, we should improve our country and our behaviour

They are students not Canadian citizens. They have no right to protest against st decision s taken by govt. you came to study. Study and leave. If you don’t like the decision you can leave now. You feel so entitled.

No it is NOT. They lie and lie and lie. What I would like to knownis why do kanirds keep increasing the rent every year.\n\nAlso, when is it going to stop for seniors. I live in an apt. the mortgage for which I am sure is fully paid. I feel when ine reaches a certain age, there has to be a cap on the rent.\n\nNext, why is the govt. building condos and houses that people cannot afford to buy instead of building affordable apartments?\n\nMy next beef is food prices. These supermarkets are abusing the system. They are price gouging and they need to be held accountable. It is ridiculous and something has to be done aboit it.

Now they know how it feels to be scammed

Wherever I go in the city of Windsor, Ontario, the majority of retailers and business owners are now Indian. I don’t see any African Canadians, Asians, or any other cultural backgrounds. I feel like a minority now and it doesn’t feel too good! There is NO diversity! Trudeau has ruined our country!! ?

As a born and raised Canadian I do feel embarrassed and frustrated when I see people from my race acting like fucking idiots because I know it’s going to lead to people viewing and potentially treating me worse, perhaps even just subconsciously. As they say we wear our race on our face and since humans are pattern recognition machines, chances are people will just take one glance at me to form their assumptions based on the behaviour of these fucking idiots. \n\nNow I’ve also seen people from other races act like imbeciles in Canada too, that very much includes white people. In fact I mostly see white people being weird or crazy in public. However the key difference is that there’s so many more Indians pouring in now.

But honestly sometimes as human being i feel sorry for them they have been manupulated and promised from indian agency in canada guys they pay agency a lot of money other sold houses

US citizen here.... I don't care about the geopolitical qualms abroad... I wouldn't expect them to feel likewise when the US collapses and cowards flee. A spade is a spade you flee your country you are a coward big or small. Make your home inhabitable before inviting yourself into someone elses.

Time will tell. I feel bad for this kid...I hope they find her

I feel the same about the USA. I live in Switzerland now and will never go back. God Bless ?

This was made in 2022 and it still feels like nothing has changed.

As canadian I feel that this certain people don't belong here. They think they own this country where can our kids get job if these certain people only hire one of their own? This is racist

EDIT: UPDATE. And then there is this....\n\nRamanpreet Singh, a 25-year-old man from Brampton is charged with: \n \nPossession of Property Obtained by Crime (3 counts) \nFlight from Peace Officer \nDangerous Operation (Of a motor vehicle)\n(This is lenient. The charge should rightfully be Reckless Endangerment of a Police Officer) \nObstruct Peace Officer (In an arrest) \nPotentially damaging a Canadian Landmark and/or Treasure (Tim Hortons) - I added this. Life sentence.\n\n\nBut you guys are nothing if not entertaining so enjoy for yourselves: \n\nhttps://youtu.be/NgrutzeSuI0?si=DaW5iBWweG3SsawX\n\nStill not embarrased? Haven't whet your appetite for whole-heartedly becoming Canadians?\n\nBut wait, there's more....\n\n\nOriginal post:\n\nFirst, well done. That must have been hard. Now, you are beginning to see. What you are doing is necessary.\n\nTruth is often harsh. Yes the Canadian government were ill prepared for the ramifications of their decisions. But they do not owe you anything. You have also neglected to mention small details. Details which I presume, must seem normal to you from life in India: \n\nDetails like, as a peaceful nation that embraced multiculturalism, Canada has never in recent memory had an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) shatter the peace of how we choose to live. The events in Mississauga's Bombay Bhel restaurant in 2018. That is UNACCEPTABLE. Assimilate to our culture and peaceful norms or get out. \n\nDetails like, being a nation that pays heavy taxes we value transparency in our political leaders. So no matter how we feel about our Prime Minister, when Justin Trudeau calls out the Indian government in assissination of one of their own people on sovereign Canadian soil, we tend to believe him. That is UNACCEPTABLE. Stand up, grow a spine, accept and be accountable or get out.\n\nDetails like, protesting the reduction in international student quotas and demanding extensions of the PGWP post graduate work permits. Protesting government decisions is the right of Canadians only. As visitors you simply do not have the right. That is UNACCEPTABLE. Comply or get out.\n\nDetails like, public display of fighting in the streets. Gatherings in large numbers at private homes and venues. Further defecaton at gas stations. The carrying of swords (not ceremonial kirpans or daggers - less than 12 inches long) to these protests. That is UNACCEPTABLE. Do it and we will put you out.\n\nDetails like, illegally crossing into the United States. Our long-time allies and friends to the South. Crossing in such large numbers as to exceed migration levels at their Southern border from Mexico. Making our political counterparts in the United States doubt our ability to govern our own country and mitigate threats from terrorists. This too, is UNACCEPTABLE. \n\nThese hostile, desperate and oppurtunistic ways are not how we choose to live in Canada. We are hard working and given an honest job, which some of you now occupy, do an honest days work. We have a long history of peace but also a reputation for upholding it. Tread lightly and learn if you value this country as your home.

this is actually a really good summary of the situation. just like how India has their bad people who have caused problems we canadians also have similar people in who are just as troublesome if not worse such as the junkies on the streets who I see all the time here in Montreal and cause so much chaos. a big argument which I also feel like is that we should only allow the best of the best to immigrate to Canada. my mom was an immigrant and is an incredibly hard worker who is more than deserving of a Canadian citizenship and even my close friend who immigrated from India is just like that and is also 10x cleaner than anyone else I've ever lived with. the fact of the matter is that we need to bring back those high standards which we had in the past and crack down and send back those who abused the system and illegally entered the country. India is the largest population in the world, there are a lot of great people there that Canada would most definitely benefit from have but there are also a lot of crappy people as well, we just need to ensure that the ones who are coming here are of the latter and not the former

i do feel like this its on\n longer canada

None of Canada feels Canadian now thanks to idiot government.we need to take Canada back!

Too many Indians and changing the culture of these countries and you feel like you’re in India anymore and not in Canada and the smell.

For me foremost the reason is the people. I can tolerate whatever but even my mental health suffers here so much, that I don't wish my children to go through that.\nEven if their life will be hard, they still won't feel as second grade citizen or not enough. Having a community which supports you and your family close is the best gift someone can have in life

GO HOME., Canadians are tired of your impacts on our country. Stop Panjabi immigration scams. As an Indian I feel ashamed by these kind of people.

I feel like America to superior to Canada, anything great about Canada is near the US. There’s no warm areas year round, and anything north of the major cities is just straight up frozen desolate wasteland. Why would anyone want to live there.

Brother, I know exactly how you feel. I own three houses that I am renting. I face the same problems as you do the courts they are hopeless and not fair to us all my houses are up for sale. I don’t wanna see no more renters as long as I live.

I like how easy it is to say I'm Canadian. I'm sure if you moved to China or India you wouldn't say I'm Chinese or Indian. Apparently anyone can be Canadian. Your not Canadian your a Canadian citizen. We are multicultural but this is getting out of hand. They took over our country without any bullets. The new people to our country are mostly nice and are good people but it doesn't feel like the Canada I grew up in anymore.

Canada is not Canada I grew up with. I no longer feel welcome or wanted in Canada. I feel like not only does my government not care about me, but that htey activity make decisions purposely to hurt me because they think its funny. I honestly feel bullied by my government.\n\nMy rent has doubled in 5 years. My food bills has doubled in the same time. Yet I still make the same per hour as I did 5 years ago. My parks are always full of needles and drug paraphernalia and druggies, my schools are teaching my kids to hate their own skin color and feel shame about the past, the police dont do anything when I get assaulted.

LIEBrals in their 8th year and just now ( after urging from the PC's ) feel they should do something about the housing market. VOTE these clowns OUT.

I am sure African giants feel they are being jealoused ????

Hope you come back to palestine and feel save there!!! Just kindly ask you do not go to EU!?

You hit the nail on the head! Well explained and I agree with you, me being Indian that came here almost 35 years ago, feel ashamed of the crap coming out of India. \n\nTrudeau is to blame for getting such crap into the country, Trudeau and Singh have destroyed Canada.

Good video and a good attempt to cover your thoughts on this complicated situation. Let me, as a full Canadian with Metis heritage give you my opinion.\n\nI dont hate Indians per say. And I would even go so far as to say most Canadians dont hate Indians either. What we DO hate is the disrespect we are being shown by many (not all) of these immigrants coming into OUR country. Many are coming here and expecting US to conform to THEIR ideology, their customs, and their way of life.\n\nWe have Indians worshipping Allah on the streets blocking traffic when they have their temples. We have Indians demanding Syrian (I hope I spelled that correctly, if not then I apologise...) laws be implemented, and we have Indians whom, as you said, are taking many of our jobs because of the mass influx of Indians entering into the country. That last part I FULLY side with you as being our useless gov't's fault.\n\nI cant really blame Canadians for feeling how they feel about what is happening though. Let me ask you this. Based on what I just said. If you had a masss influx of another race come into India and doung all the things I just mentioned along with what you mentioned, how do you think the Indian people would feel? What do you think would happen to those people. I can PROMISE you it wouldnt be as passive as what Canadians or the Canadian gov't has done.

The problem is not students the problem is you elected a person to be your pm who can not add 1 +1 he is that dumb and to vote him in 2 times over is even well we need to invent the very word!\nTill then keep on blaming students to feel good.

I think I will leave also. I think somewhere in german cultures, they just respect german more than foreigners. They don't tell directly to my face. But I can feel it somehow. But anyway they are german and here is their country. They can do that. But after study here 5 years, I think that, I will leave

Yes i am in canada bud i feel i am in indi?

As an Indian, I feel that Canada has most corrupted Immigration system. The number of low skilled and unskilled PR holders in Canada is outrageous whereas People who are highly skilled are finding it really difficult to get a PR. Canada does not need more Uber drivers or Fast Food workers. It needs teachers, nurses, doctors, IT engineers, HR proffessionals etc.

A very urban centric and statistically driven op ed. I doubt that the presenter has actually visited most of the places covered.\nEvery time one of these comes up, the 4 largest provinces are ranked highest and I truly feel sorry for anyone stuck in one of their soul crushing nightmare cities.
