But keep bringing more refugees! That should help the housing crisis and the economy 😂

this is very bad

Canadians are without jobs. This lawyer’s income depends on immigration.

The failed former Immigration Minister (and also Housing Minister) is now the failing Justice Minister. He is the perfect example of failing upwards in Canada, a true Turdeau legacy.

This was done on purpose

We have enough unemployed citizens and permanent residents already here. No need to bring in a single person.

I've lived here over 30yrs, if I can't afford rent I will need more than one box of tissue

where are the projects ? !!!!!!!

DEPORT NOW!

No way 😂😂😂😂 who saw this coming for 1 million miles away

If you believe the government you should be aware of scammers cause your on their list

This was done deliberately, the government knew this would happen! Now they have a ready made excuse for allowing everyone to stay. “We’re really backlogged so in order to facilitate new applications we’re going to rubber stamp all the old ones, dam covid really made a mess of things didn’t it” Liberal Government

Is this a sympathy piece!?

As if this is even news at this point

This guy is biased. You can’t assume everyone is coming in fairly with honest intentions. It’s far from that.

This feels 6-8 years too late, You could even argue it as far back as 2010. We should've never kept our numbers at such high of a % of our population, it should've always been focused industries only such as agriculture. Instead our business model is basically : Cheap Labour via Worker Visas, Housing Market due to quick and massive population boost and Student Visas making them pay 3.5x more than regular students that encourages post-secondary schools to choose international over domestic which may also have long-term consequences as we see many immigrants go back to their home or take their degree to a higher paying nation.

Skillful in scamming and being illegal😮

this is a 180 from the past 5 years, however, it is a false promise. once the immigration cuts are out of recent memory of the voter base, restaurants begin to need customers (11,000 shuttered in 2 years), colleges get surplus nostalgia, and landlords demand their inflated rental income (see economic rent), the government will ramp the numbers up again.

I grew up in Edmonton in a very Indian part of town. It's not "Indian people " not at All!! Maybe mass migration is an issue, but it's not Indians. Maybe immigration scams but trust me, every Indian I lived with was civically minded. Blame the scams ...not the people! That's the federal governments fault!! Indian people have lived here for decades and in the UK. Unfortunately the scams have hurt the community!! (Even listen to the people in the interviews. Some of the best people I've met, and they ARE part of my community. I do worry about the scams but that's it)

Hahaha 😅 you just realizing ?

And everyone who warned that this was coming was called racist for the last 20 years.

STUPID QUESTION. I DID WE GET TO THIS POINT. SMH. WE NEED THEM TO GO BACK

Canadians DON"T WANT or NEED immigrants. Corporations and immigration lawyers need them. Citizens don't.

Lol schmuck bring in 10 million more im fine ill move out canada soon

Guest is an immigration lawyer. Hardly a neutral observer.

Let’s interview the guy who makes more money when immigration numbers are high. Great unbiased reporting there🎉

What is the message here? This guy has a conflict of interest.We don’t need more immigrants. We have large numbers of unemployed or under employed young Canadians who can do the work. A immigration moratorium is required until the country gets its’s financial house in order.

I am surprised to know that we have an immigration system. Because Canada went to the shits.

Lol conservative has been saying that but liberals and their sheeps enjoyed massive immigration

Trudeau and Freeland really screwed Canada

Rent prices in my area is finally going down. Lined up directly with the post secondary school year, wonder why.

Funny, if there is such shortage why the hell I am not getting a job interview (even in places like walmart) for the past six months. The channel should focus on the unemployed citizens rather than future immigrants.

closing the barn door after the horse has bolted

What the hell are you talking about, half the students can't even speak English.

It will never get better, lower your expectations

how is it different from the Cajun ppl in Louisiana ? They have their own language and culture and names.

No more immigrants for the next 3 years.

Having liberals in power for 11 years is a national disaster

We're past this breaking point around 6 years ago

Yep, we're full. Everybody out.

It hit the breaking point about 5yrs ago

What about entirely stopping the temporary foreign workers program, for every industry, other than agricultural. Canadians need jobs, too. It can't ALL benefit big business at the expense of unemployed Canadian citizens.

cancel every application that's in backlog, accept only students going to post-secondary schools (and even then- that number must be reduced also), and eliminate the TFW program.

Why are international students being told they might be able to stay?!?????!? You're a scumbag Mr. Immigration lawyer! After they graduate and leave, they can apply like everyone else and get in line. Their time as a student should not count for anything. Why are we fasttracking bringing grandparents of new Canadians or PR's? They don't pay taxes and put extra burden on healthcare and CPP. PR's should not be able to bring other extended family members at all. Canada's immigration system hit the breaking point 10 years ago when that failed part-time high school drama teacher took the wrecking ball to it.

Immigrants are vital to Canada's economic growth and demographic health. The challenges often attributed to them are largely consequences of policy gaps in integration, settlement support, and long-term infrastructure planning. Improving the system involves refining immigrant selection and focusing on successful inclusion rather than reducing numbers.

More Immigrants have to come... Canada have plenty of land.

Justin’s gang

Everything has gone down the drain. Firstly, millions got in 2023 and now with their permits expiring. Not all would leave voluntarily.

Parents and Grandparents? This is the reason our medical system is failing.

Deport everyone who came here in the last 10 years
