I once saw in “The Why Matters”, a conservative think tank, that the reason other Arab nations wouldn’t take Palestinian refugees because they were essentially all terrorists. That was one of the most heartless, hyperbolic, and insane characterizations I have ever seen of them. Of course they won’t take refugees because they are trying to prevent them from becoming refugees in the first place!

why people first of all will select

What the heck? That first home is beautiful. I love old homes with brick and mature trees. Look at classy places they have older homes. I wouldn’t want a mansion. I don’t care about the cold look and cleaning so much. I have a backsplit it’s my family home I grew up in.

first thing they come for student visa hogaya go back to your country leave the seats for panda people and auntie language sa gawk hota Varaha hain log

I am from the Balkans. I have been studying, living and working abroad since I was 18. Germany was the 7th country I moved to and the first country ever I felt unwelcomed at work- because of my Balkan origins. I must say I was rather shocked because being a very open, international professional with lots of experience, I thought something of this kind would never be even imaginable. However, outside of my work field I gained many german friends pretty quickly - friends for life ( no competition here, haha). 10 years later, I am still here and the situation changed to better - a lot. A mix of getting trust, learning the language, and getting more international colleagues. I am totally thankful to the health system - they saved my life. If I stayed in my country, I would have had serious health issues. I am thankful to the democracy, freedom of expressing, schooling system( so much better than in my times in Yugoslavia), salaries, and many other things Germany gave me. I am living a good life, best life any of my family members had in generations. I would like to stay here as long as it feels good for me and my family. Having a german father to my kids is however the strongest link to me feeling home in Germany -having a local within your family makes it all a lot easier.

This is one of the most fake videos i have ever seen, the person filming being the uploader should be your first red flag.

CANADIAN CITIZENS COME FIRST!!!

Under the British rule, Canada had four provinces. Britain made it as a federal dominion in 1867. It was considered as one of the three British North American colonies. \n \nThough today the majority of Canadians are white, the land that is now “Canada” was first occupied for thousands of years by the aboriginal peoples of North America. \n \nWhen the first European explorers came to Canada they found all regions occupied by native peoples they called “Indians,” thinking they had reached the East India

If someone likes to Travel and get out of rat-race, do consider to migrate, of course first generation immigrant will have to face lots of problems but second gen will have the fruits of the hardships. \n\nAur na pasand aye to India to apna hai hi

Then Palestinian should not give their lands to be used by terrorist organisations, just like Lebanese gives. This genocide largely caused by only one country Iran who had the agenda to destroy any Democratically functioning government and places a terrorist controlled government in the middle East but Israel is the only obstacle so why they created so many terrorists organisations to dismantle peace and stability in Israel. \n\nBack 2023 the first attack has been recorded that Hamas launched many Rockets attack. Then rest of the events has been taken place.

This European forgot ...who are the first people living in Canada according to Indian Act of Canada..... They are Indians( red or brown) but not Europeans.....

The present immigration system is faulty with lots of loopholes. The system needs to be fixed immediately to make it a fool-proof. Stop taking unwanted refugees and asylum seekers in the first place. Also to ensure that all those who had manipulated and took undue advantage of the faulty immigration system are identified especially those asylum seekers who, after obtaining aslyum PR status, had visited their home countries subsequently should be deported for perjury and falsification of documents.

Indians should be banned from every First world country. They are inconsiderate, don't care about any one else's culture, less a mess everywhere they go, fish illegally, drive wages down substantially, take up housing that citizens really need.... I really could go on and on and on...... Honestly, no one needs them. I have seen entire suburb's house prices crash due to essentially an 'invasion' of indians.

Or just put a hard rule that says your can't go from student visa to asylum without first leaving the country. Australia did this in 2008 to me where my student visa had a direct path to permanent residence and they closed that loophole while I was there.

Want to charge 5 times,6times more to foreign students and why these foreign students pay such huge money bcoz they want a better life than india if canadians expect that they should leave after studies then its hypocritical bcoz its always give and take they spend such huge sum for better life if canadians dont want that ,thats fine its their country,there rules but they should implement harsh rules and tell at first itself while visa is granted for studenr that he/she will have to leave canada after studies and lets see how many students will come here to pay such huge amounts for studies and that will be an eye opener for both indians and canadians

North Americans don't want the religious dramas and loud Bollywood dance of Indians on a daily basis?.\nThey want their own culture to be preserved first I guess ?

Amazing how such damning details take their time leaking out. We know there is much more. It's the secrecy and lies that have voters desperate for a crack at a change. PP will be even worse but that's irrelevant when the need to dump this govt. comes first.

Applying asylum on a student visa after entering canada is first huge violation of study permit.

Please if my sister will be paying my two-year tuition and has already transferred my first year to my account as a gift. Must i show my 4 months statement or just the period the gift was deposited. \n\nAlso how do i explain my employment situation since i was denied based on my employment situation but i am employed now and have all documents to show. My problem is explaining why i was unemployed in my previous application but employed now. Can you please assist

It’s true…I have watched it first hand…turning our beaches literally into shit

13 K international students should NEVER be allowed to apply for asylum. Canada does not need any of them. GO HOME Canada has no moral responsibility to welcome anyone into the country. I believe Justin Trudeau has a moral responsibility to take care and make sure Canadians come first.

Teach some manners first lol? and canadians aren't used to different way of thinking no yeet

Take care of your own citizens first! GO HOME

Canadians want to live too!!!!!!\nCanada has a moral obligation to help it's own citizens FIRST.

We should first focus on all our Canadian born citizens

Listening to the bleeding heart idiots who are supporting the invaders. Im all for helping others but being invaded and over whelming every resource is not helping anyone. These people are starving and need housing, food and medical while the citizens are being left to fend for themselves. Americans first our poor need help and are being left behind while our funds are used on illegal invaders. This dont make sense.

Which party with all of them tell me if they are better. Think about Covid and the hughley secured lab 99% foreign students not one student was Canadian. I praise the RCMP from the bottom of my heart ir will have perish with illegal shipments to other countrie from are Tax payers money. Support are kids we don't have to go to USA when are provincial Government is involved and then says shortage of Doctors. First preference to provincial students then other province then only international students.

Canadians first before anyone else

Canada is closed til it's fixed, Canadians first

Good let them leave. We didn’t want them in the first place, we don’t need thousands of unskilled workers. What we need are medical professionals.

the program is broken, Canadian first

Canadians can barely survive, we can't help everyone!!! Help us Canadians FIRST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

International students have no rights to protest other than study, which is why they come in the first place. Canada or US didn’t go to india and say please come. I think Canada should stop taking students through consultants in India. It is in India that people are selling false info and the students are blaming Canadian government. Even India has immigration rules and they are also strict in enforcing. Plus international students have to pay 10x more in Indian top colleges than local Indian. Rules are rules and should be followed or don’t come.

Games played by both governments have bring these kids to such a situation. Please don’t be angry on these kids. They are the pawns who have been exploited from both sides. We should raise the question to government why so big number of visas were issued in first place.

First insult just leave the place, if your boss doesn't back you up change job

First nations and native Canadians would've felt same when there were too many europeans :D

2 days ago, a CBC report mentioned most of these illegal crossings are happening from Quebec and being done by nationals from India and Bangladesh who first enter Canada on student or visitor visa.

You're saying it because I know Trump is gonna win and I want try to get here before he wins but they're gonna be thrown back out. Trump's gonna clear house. He cast of my son is 17 and a 1/2 almost 18. Now he has 7 friends, all black and Latin Americans. They don't speak Spanish. They have not been able to get a job because of the slave labor everywhere you go. These people are given working papers in a social security application when they come in. Here it takes as you have there when I do to get a job but they don't because they have those federal papers all of the security around the city of use that used to be done by black men and women because they couldn't get another job with their eoccasions now all you. See is Latin men who have taken that job away from them. They don't speak english. They're foreigners and they have guns on them. We had a deputy the other day. That was murdered in cold blood by a man that does not speak english. That works as a security guard and was given his gun by the security company. He shot the cop full of bullets went back. Reloaded his gun and came back and shot him again. And that's not the first one that's just the most prominent 1. All the little girls have been raped and murdered here. We've had 5 women that were killed by their stalkers that were all Latin illegals.

I'll tell you about prices in Canada. (please fact check me fellow Canadians, I wrote this in a rage. Also, most of this is from Ontario cause I live there) The monopolies here are insane. Highways that were built using tax payer money were sold to companies and now Canadians need to pay to us it. Most grocery stores are owned by a few major companies and I see butter prices rising every few months. A 1L carton of cream at my local store is $8! I won't talk too much about housing cause it's obviously sh**. I will say a couple of years ago the Premier of Ontario, Doug Ford (my greatest enemy), was releasing the protection of the green belt, a protect part of Ontario used for agriculture. He said he would use it to build new homes, great right? NOPE. First of all, the green belt is used for food to reduce prices for Canadians cause its local. He has stated he would move it to another location but that land there is less fertile. The worst thing is, the reason he is saying he would use the green belt to build houses is because the land there is very valuable. And guess who owns that land? His BUDDIES! That means he would sell that land to developers and his buddies would get all the profit cause the money developers use to buy the land will directly be put on the buyer. Not to mention, Doug Ford, the same person, since his instatement as premier, has cut the Ontario education budget by 50%. 50%!!!! ABSOLUTELY UNREAL. Can't even afford air conditioning in schools where the weather is so extreme. Rogers? The largest internet provider in Canada? Absolutely cr*p. So many complaints about bad connection and cutoffs which I also experienced when my mom bought one of their products and my internet was sh** for a couple of months. The ONLY, and I mean only, good major thing Trudeau has done is legalize marijuana. Another thing I forgot to mention is that our government is made up of criminals. Doug Ford, he and his family use to partake in drug dealing. Another major complaint is the ttc which is public transportation costing so damn much! As a student, it costs me over $1000 a year to get to school using the ttc. The times aren't even that great either as even on a major road, I had to wait 25 minutes to get a bus. Thats my rant.

Before moving to Canada I hired an English profesor for private classes. On the last class he gave two pieces of advice for when I arrive:\n\n1- Get on the line\n2- Act like the monkeys\n\nThe first means to wait for your opportunity not rushing to conclusions on why you are not getting what you believe you deserve. \n\nThe second, instead of trying to do things your way, look at what others do and imitate them. \n\nIf you are not willing to do these, you better stay home.

Fix your own country FIRST!!! and a temporary student visa shouldn’t turn into a working visa.

PaCk their THINGS,AND GO HOME BACK TO INDIA CANADIAN FIRST . The PRIOREITY

Yep , even though it may snow for 9 months of the year, on the first snowfall it's always like people have never driven on snow before! ?? It gets better as winter progresses, but not much.

They don’t know ethics, politeness, compassion and respect.\n\nThere was a jewelry store in the mall Lawrence plaza that we always pass by from the foodcourt. One day we passed by this store, I asked if I can check my ring size first because I am a potential customer everyone should be considered a potential customer. These 2 Indian clerks were there and that 1 guy told me he can’t check my ring size because If I take the other guys time who does the checking then I will be paying for his time because he is also doing other stuffs on the computer.. He says I will be taking away his time from the computer if he checks my ring size…The nerve.. I never want to deal with them again even customer service on the phone when I know its Indian I just hung up the phone and dial again and wish its not them because I know I will never get a satisfactorily and respectful conversation with them.

If you go to Delhi on a visitor visa, why would the Indian government approve you of a post-graduation work permit or permanent residency? This is because India is not a country who have policies or programs for student visas or permanent residency for immigrants. Yes, indeed, they should not demand permanent residency, but it is not the students who make these immigration programs including student visas or temporary work permits or pr, it's the Canadian government who introduced all these policies, and if somebody is applying for student visa and spending $50000 for studies, they are applying because they see potential for permanent residency and that's how immigration websites do the marketing for attracting the international students. If they had known that work permits or pr is not possible through any programs, they would not have applied at the first point. It's the government's responsibility to make it clear on their policies or on immigration websites. Now they started making it strict by closing those programs but it's too late, what about the people who are already here invested their money. They did not enter Canada by just waking up one day and thought lets go Canada. The government welcomed them and they approved them. The argument of the reporter is totally wrong because they did not know that they would face hatred or racism when they applied for student visas. Now they saw a large population and started hating.

Stop refugees first .. all unfit teachers in tdsb..

I have a new neighbour to the area from the United States. He just got his permanent residency. His biggest comment: 'I can go out without fear of violence or being shot'. Which at first, I had a hard time believing him. But after hearing some of his extraordinary experiences, I'm starting to have more empathy for what is essentially, trauma.

The entire west needs to stop being kind to the whole world and look after their people first before helping others

Wow thanks for the info about my neighboring country. I travelled in northern Ontario this summer, my first time in CA, and I definitely did not get the impression that things were going well economically.

These people wouldn't get admissions in good indian universities, how did they end up in canada in the first place?
