I moved to Canada in 2017 as an immigrant (international student). It literally feels like a different country now. It’s not at all racist to say the immigration numbers are way too high. It’s basic maths.

NOW admitting that they messed up with Immigration numbers is too little too late. Canada has now been changed forever because of this governments unjustified immigration levels.

It's obvious the Liberals knew these immigration numbers would damage Canadian's standard of living, they just didn't care. In essence they were successful in enriching Canada's biggest corporations but in the process have completely alienated the electorate. The backpedalling they're doing now isn't going to help, it's pretty much inevitable the Conservatives are going to win the next election next year regardless how hard they clamp down on immigration.

Immigration officer - Please sign at the designated area indicating that your immigration status is temporary and that you are required to return to your home country on the specified date. \nThey are all aware of the commitments they agreed to. Now deal with it.

Despite the fact that I live in a fucked up third world country myself, there are three major reasons why I have not moved to a first world country yet:\n1. Money \n2. I have my own house here and I don't have any debts. Not a lot of first world citizens can say that now, can they?\n2. I want Guaranteed opportunities (Either a job offer or a PhD offer) if I am to move abroad. \n3. First world countries have a habit of blaming immigrants for all of their bullshit. ALL OF IT. Even the parts that aren't our faults. Fuck them.

Canada has become a Third World Country thanks to Trudeau and the millions of immigrants moving there for free handouts. Canada will be a craphole for the next Decade and they send all the illegal immigrants back home

Whose fault is it? It's your country that allow the immigrants to enter for cheap labour.

literally ruining our country, why are almost all the immigrants i see now strictly indian? where is the diversity?

every country has their own things. Canada might be bad relatively to the past but it is still not as bad as other countries where many immigrants come from.

They are actually cunningly acting like they do not know what they have done. First they invited immigrants more than they can handle. Now they have taken good amount of fees from the international students and now they are telling them only that they are a burden to their economy. Such a cunning and 2 faced government. Their other provinces are so under developed that they do not even have proper public transportation there. So who will settle there with no jobs and other such necessary services. They are just playing hide and seek with the immigrants especially the international students.

Immigration = Wage suppression of Canadian workers.

Canadian immigration has become a joke… in India getting Canadian visa is same as easy as getting visa of nepal or sri lanka

No one, especially polititicians mention the 6 countries being taken over by immigrants at the same time. And ?? next. The GREAT REPLACEMENT IS NOW!!!\n\nRIP\nIreland\nLondon\nUK\nSweden\nFrance \nGermany

Look how great we Liberals are!\nWe're working on solving the problem of too many immigrants!\n(the same problem that we're responsible for)

These clowns are finally getting a clue. But this is just pathetic small measures. End all immigration immediately until we can get a handle on housing and healthcare and education. Now.

Then have your mps stop hirings foriegn immigrants

Immigration should be limited to the number of houses built the previous year... less 20% till the housing crisis has been fixed

Worst immigration minister in Canadian history. His mass immigration policies are destroying Canada.

... more lying, duplicity and bait & switch from turdo & the Liberals ... he has NO intentions of slowing down immigration ... defeating the corrupt coalition in the next election is the only hope for Canada to survive

0 sounds like a good number for new immigrants. Wouldn't hurt to send a few back now that you mentioned it.

500,000 immigrants are coming in per year. Less than 200,000 houses are being built per year.

Love immigration but hate tax funded Temp workers . Bad deal for Temp workers and very bad deal for Canada. Young people , seniors who needs a few hours to make ends meet, people living outside cities, adults returning to work , uneducated but hard working folks , disabled people and others are unable to find work . In the old days people would worry about jobs being outsourced overseas and now the work still being outsourced to Temp workers . This in turn ,is worsening the homeless problems throughout Canada. There is no such thing as jobs that Canadian people ( young and old )will not do and its not true that there is not enough workers ( skilled or otherwise) in Canada . The Canadian government needs to work for its people and not use failed economic models that increase profit for companies. All sectors should have restricts not just a few .

Immigrants get two years on my dime then are working on farms for cash money,good plan,yes Liberal voters,disgrace

Canadians are sick of excessive immigration.? They are sick of Trudeau and his waves of illegal immigrants and his secret flights from countries where crime and violence are the norm. Trudeau is replacing Canadian culture with 3rd World cultures. Trudeau ?out now!!

So? Canada is a land of immigrants

It seems like Germany still has a lingering anti-immigrant sentiment from the 1930s, even though as a country they certainly need skilled workers. Germany is not the only country though, I've experienced racism in Poland for example, and I'm sure other East European countries are similar.

Brampton is a immigrant mess.

The truth is that Canada's international reputation has taken a hit. As a brand, it's lost all goodwill. Whether Canadian hate and insult Indians is immaterial because the opposite is perhaps more true. For every student/ immigrant that Canada exploited, there will be equivalent, if not greater, blow back

When you come to Canada you need to live and behave in accordance to the standards of Canada..not show supari behaviour..many Indians especially from the North are keen on gettg service related jobs and have the worst customer care and service attitude.Even as customers they behave rude and entitled.. Canada should enact strict language and culture integrity testing standards before bringing in immigrants.

As a FRENCH individual, I would\nSay this!!! WHY would you or even plan to come to a country that rejects you??? Why waste your money to come here???? Why immigrate here??? Lately, I have my older brother move back to France and my 2 daughters NOT willing to stay in Canada (they hate the Canadian education system here)! My wife wants to fly back to France and so am I and we will as soon as we can!!!! As for me … I HATE the Canadian healthcare system (rigid and INEFFICIENT) with all its stupid waiting times and lack of humanity and transparency!!! In France NO ONE has to wait 6 years (I heard this many times from friends) for an operation or 15 weeks to see pediatrician!!! I do not like the taxes, nor the hidden racism that is WAY WORSE than AMERICA (I have a coloured friend who knows well and who snobbed racist Canadians by speaking French to them. This friend of mine is in fact… a French citizen himself). I hate the Canadian transportation system, the banking system which is designed to STEAL from people!!! In Europe, there is NI Credit score and NO easy loans and you do not get indebted as in this rubbish country of GREEDY THIEVES (the Canadian bid corps) called Canada!!! Education in Europe is FREE!!!! Why should I allow my kids to study here and pay for veut studies??? WHY???? Le Canada est un pays de profiteurs!!!

Lots illegal immigrants go to church not because of their belief, because they use this as they imerged local culture to get PR.

What part of HEALTHCARE WORKER do you xenophobic monsters not get? The job we do need way more people in? \nHe’s documented, and fighting to stay. He’s the opposite of an illegal drain on the resources. If he’s granted status he’ll pay taxes too. \n\nI don’t get the anti-immigration thing. Unless you are native, you’re an immigrant too. (I’m 6th gen Canadian myself)

We in the west, especially Canada, are too generous to unskilled migrants. We need to slow down the influx of low skilled immigrants

Even former immigrants have the right to complain about immigration.

Similar in other EU countries, so i have feeling that it would be better to just stay home and make your home country a better place. I am myself immigrant in one EU country and i have a feeling i wasted my life and didnt achieve anything.

Well, the white people in Canada were immigrants. Even worse, they marginalized the American Indians

We should stop breaking our own laws, we should suspend laws that are allowing this immigration so we can legally stop those people entering.

So this is news worthy? Or is City TV just letting everyone know how to easily bypass the legal immigration process…because this isn’t newsworthy. What a grift.

What was the reason for deportation? Im sorry but Canada cannot keep accepting people from all over the world we need a break, we need to preserve our culture and build our country up for our people that are citizens. Mass immigration is not working.

Need for Labour is a propped up neoliberal idea\n\nHigher birthrate would modulate this problem, but companies would rather have you believe that we need to rely on immigrants as their Labour is cheaper and we don’t need to fund their education as that will happen elsewhere.\n\nThis is not a good thing

Speaking as someone who worked insurance in British Columbia. ICBC's driver rating is outwardly racist to immigrants and nobody cares. ?

There is a great deal of reverse immigration now. My nephew works at the Toronto airport and they find discarded permanent resident cards in the trash cans as the people leave the country. Yes, that is how bad it is.

Canada IS NOT an 'immigrant' country...as Indians who come here are constantly telling US....FOR THEIR BENEFIT. Crime, disrespecting REAL CANADIANS, scamming our education and immigration systems, being rude and arrogant to us real Canadians...etc..etc..etc. I want no more Indians in MY COUNTRY.

They don’t even treat skilled immigrants well. And their bureaucracy is ridiculous. Until they change that, they will suggest the consequences.

I opened a business in Canada with a partner in 1974. By 1985, in spite of having a successful business, I moved to the US in 1985, and have never looked back. Canada was moving in a direction in the 80’s, that I could see was no longer a fit for me. I never believed that Canada would sink as low as it has, but I have to admit, compared to the US, it was becoming far too regulated, and far too Liberal for my liking.\nThe open immigration policy for me, was a complete deal breaker, and its current shift to being a Muslim, East Indian, Chinese, and African country, would not have worked for me, as a Canadian Protestant of English, Irish, and French descent. I know for a fact that the Chinese are extensively involved in the current synthetic drug crisis, and although there are many law abiding Chinese in Canada, they serve to camouflage the Chinese underworld that exists in Canada, as they do in Mexico, that allows them to pipeline these drugs to Canada, which is being destroyed by this crisis. All said, Canada is becoming a crime ridden, drug infested Muslim shithole, where Canadians can look forward to sharing this demise with their Chinese, and East Indian neighbours.

Bureaucracy is so slow in Canada ,something to be done takes forever. Housing problem can t not be solve in canada just the property Tax and maintenance fee are already around $$$ 1000 . homelesness,drug addicts ,people with mental issues , crime rates are all rising these are the issues without the immigrants already .

Quebec immigrants are treated like garbage. It makes for an angry society ?

We have too many Europeans here. We need to encourage more Africans to immigrate to Canada. Would add to the wonderful diversity of this nation. ??

Canada needs to not only pause immigration, but start deporting expired visa overstays in large numbers.. Its crises level..

The left hand wasn't talking to the right hand. If you haven't the infrastructure it makes no sense to bring people in. It just makes it difficult for everyone, especially the immigrants. In my nghbourhood there are immigrants having to live in slums. Great introduction to Canada. Breaks my heart.
