In other countries you’re not allowed to work on a student visa. You are supposed to show proof of funds and that you are able to support yourself while studying. How can you demand PR status when there’s already a process in place? It’s unfair to people who followed the process and legally became PR’s.

Stop supporting Tim Hortons and places that employ these squatters

Govt allowed them to come study and at the same time giving them some hr to work so a lot of people grab this opportunity which to most of them the main purpose is not to study but to have a job and after that get into pr status. If I’m in this situation of this student I cant demand anything in the first place just follow the rules, find a way to get your status legally if you can’t then start packing up and I will go home.

Most of the places they come from you can grow food almost all year long. You can't do that in most of Canada. Not even close.

Sorry, but I didn't know 'so many people' were leaving Canada. In fact, my European friends living in Canada, LOVE Canada. Their number one reason? The government is for the people. Their numerous benefits, programs and services (employment Insurance, child benefit, pensions, benefits for housing, student aid, family benefits, grants and funding opportunities, disabilities and their recently implemented dental care plan), says it all. Sure the cost of living is high, but where isn’t? Especially after covid and especially if you want a decent quality of life. Their car insurance and phone plans are also expensive but they're getting better. Stay out of the big cities if you can't afford it. There are other parts of Canada that is affordable. \n\nBtw, the healthcare industry, particularly the long-term care sector is a good place to earn a decent living. They are always looking for RNs, PSWs etc. \n\nIn the end, the positives outweigh the negatives. Besides having free healthcare and the many generous social services and benefits, Canada is also a progressive country with strong social policies, including gender equality, LGBTQ+ rights and environmental sustainability, (we’re drinking out of those gross cardboard straws now. Hello?). Then there is our natural and breathtaking landscapes, our four seasons, our excellent education system, diverse communities, friendly people, our cool festivals (The Calgary Stampede, Montreal International Jazz Festival, Caribana, Toronto International Film Festival, Just for Laughs Montreal, Pride Toronto are a few that come to mind), our great air and water quality, strict gun laws, legal cannabis… I could go on and on.\n\nIf you're able to afford living in Canada, consider yourself fortunate.

Wasn't there land in the first place

And because housing and life is not affordable in Canada Canadians are leaving to other geographies in the global south (particularly latinamerican) to live their Canadian dream and in doing so they are really destroying the social fabric of these places. What they are doing to the Yucatán peninsula is really nasty. Local people cannot afford life at home because Canadians and US-americans are raising prices everywhere. People should demand their governments to solve the crisis, and at the dime they should organize in communities to gain back their self-determination, instead of flying to other places and continue to spread crises.

Quebec did well. Religion and religious symbolism like a hijab, have no place in any publicly funded institution. These need to be religion free. Also, if you need a doctor right away when you get here because you're sick, you shouldn't have come. You're not supposed to come unless you're healthy and won't be a burden on the system.

this customer guy would be railed even at the most peaceful place in india..

Its your politicians who caused it. Dont insult the people showing their worshipping places as if they shouldnt be here. There are many churches in the countries(not sure about saudi arabia,china or pakisthan. In India for sure) where christians are minorties.

Well no one can carry guns so no offence to anyone but kirpan should also be placed in carry bag

I hope you take right decision. Religion is not greater than mental peace and safe life style. \n\nDo you hate your living conditions if you are not a muslim.? \n\nI think you are in one of the safest place on the globe and be thankful to god for providing you such shelter.\n\n Dont relocate and make it difficult for your daughters.

Canada shouldn't be allowed to exist at the first place. All stolen lands

The woman is quite right of Trudeau allowing in immigrants into the country without socioeconomic infrastructure Plan for sustainability in place. And thousands of Canadians are in desperate need of social assistance cannot get it because he is using the funds on immigrants. It is thoughtless, incompetent of him. \nIt is a clear example of a Prime Minister without knowledge and understanding of sustainable immigration policy. He does things for self-ego. He does not think his decision through before making them. It is maddening. The most incompetent, clueless, and prone to fumble PM ever in Canada history. \nCanada used to stand her ground on the international stage now Canada has the PM that tailcoat the US sitting President administration and EU policy be it sanction or war showing a serious lack of understanding of international law. . ..

I lived in Brampton until middle of 2009. There seemed to be a good mix of cultures and lots of diversity then. I'm surprised to see that it changed so much. I'm okay with people from wherever and why not India, but it's disturbing that there are so many drug addicts and homeless people. Is it the immigration or is it because of the kind of people who stayed in Brampton? Did they stay because they had no choice? It makes no sense though that so many people left this city. Well, I left it too. Edmonton is a much nicer place than anywhere in the GTA.

Canada is a fine place to live. One of the best in the world, in fact. The only reason I don't want to live there is because I live in Scandinavia where things are even better.

Look at the bright side. Canadian won't be drafted into war. Or woman's/religious persecution by execution. It may gotten a little dangerous this and that. It's by far the most staple and safest country to start a family/company. But hey, look at other places if you can afford it to move.

I have been to Vancouver many times in the 1970s when I worked for CP Air!!! -The absolutely most racist place in the World !!

Oh sure, buy a house, and get sick, bankruptcy has invited you south. There are pros and cons everywhere. Toronto and Vancouver are the most expensive places to live.

The corrupt and degenerate Trudeau regime decided that Canada should be a third world country. Now we don't have doctors, small business is evaporating and our cities are being colonized by India, Africa and the middle east. Violent crime is rampant, our infrastructure is crumbling and earning a six figure salary means you are lower middle class. Why the hell would anyone want to live or raise a family here when they could live in a place that doesn't punish you for hard work? I'll take the American Dream over this Canadian nightmare.

Trump has that country in such a violent frenzy , that would be the last place I would move. Not to mention Al, the gun crazy lunatics there.

This is plain and simple. There are not enough places for rent. For both Canadians and a never ending population growth from outside canada that outpaces building. \nIn three months they cannot and will never be enough places built for rent to justify bringing over 430 000 people.\nSo based on that alone those newcomers will be taking a place for rent away from a Canadian citizen. It's not racism, it's not discrimination. It's fact.\nCanadian citizens or any citizen of any country should not have to struggle to find a place to live and be able to afford a place to live because the governemt increases the population from outside faster than they can build. It's irresponsible, selfish, and outright wrong.\nIts not the politicians who are suffering or the businesses who will never make enough profit(look at the grocery sector.) it is the people within Canada.\nI am not against immigration. I am against the amount until infrastructure can keep up with the influx of new people. And even then it cannot be a one for one. It should be at least 2 to 1 and new growth. Anything more than that and the cost of housing will outpace inflation.\nPlus senior citizens(who helped build this country) , veterans, people on disability, and mental health/addicts recovering, deserve the increased financial help instead of the money that is sent to other countries..

I went to high school in Brampton in the early 80's and there were no people from India anywhere... it was very much a white anglo town, and then I moved to Montreal for 25 years to work as a fashion designer. (I remember the shock of flying into Toronto on business and walking outside to get a taxi, there was an endless line of Indian guys wearing Turbans, waiting by their taxis...it was a very strange feeling, as I was not sure if I was in Canada or India.) About 10 years ago, I moved back to Ontario to live in Guelph with my sister and had heard the joke about Brampton becoming 'Bramladesh' by people at the dog park, and in the past 5 years, (since they built the massive temple in Guelph) the place has turned into a mini India, as EVERY house put up for sale is bought by a family from India, with 4 or 5 cars in a 2 car driveway, (strangely, as soon as they move into the house, they all rip out the asphalt driveway and replace it with white concrete??) they seem to be a tribal people and every house is filled to capacity, as the husband and wife are with their kids, the brother and his wife and their parents, all living together. (They are friendly people and they don't cause any trouble... my only issue is the intense stench of spices from their house that fill the air 24/7 to the point that you cannot sit in the back yard or open a window, without being punched in the face from the powerful odour of spices!

I'm from Saskatchewan and it is one of the most beautiful Province in Canada for the retirees and it has lots of recreational wildlife places to visit and the cost of living is much cheaper than the other Provinces in Canada with the exception of Prince Edward Island (PEI). But only the weather during the winter months is much colder.

i lived there as economic immigrant in Toronto for 4 years back in 2009 to 2013, i loved the city it was vibrant, beautiful, multicultural, people were nice polite, rent was ok , house prices were affordable, i loved every inch of this city, yonge and bloor, Dundas, Chester greektown, high park, north york , Yorkville with the fancy restaurants bars and houses, spadina mansions, harbourfront, were all my favorite places, i have so many beautiful memories in this city, i studied and worked there, but unfortunately i came back in 2015 then 2018 for few days, it was changing gradually to the worse more homeless, more crimes, more mentally sick people, very expensive housing rent food, am so sad fo rthis wonderful city

Why can’t we just deport them back the Middle East? Islam has no place in western society

He needs to resign. People that never been homeless are now living in tents. One room motels kids have no place to call home this needs to stop.

This is so interesting. I'm lucky enough to be a Singaporean and just a slightly above-average professional, I contemplated applying for Canadian PR as PR seemed achievable and I wanted a change of environment. But in 2018, I did a research trip to Vancouver and Toronto to scout out the place and talk to friends living there, and realised just from a few anecdotes that with the comparatively higher income taxes, lower salaries and higher housing prices (compared to subsidised public housing in SG, private housing in SG is still out of my reach) that I really was better off where I am. Not to mention the stagnating and less diverse economy, un-progressive tax system would penalise a single working female like me. I thought it would afford a better quality of life for young families due to the maternity leave policy - not sure if I was on the mark for that

I disagree with the comment Alberta is a cheaper place to live in..the cost of living here is very high, I wished people making these statements would know all the facts, we have so much oil but pay through the nose for gas, so don’t anyone, get the idea\nThat it is cheap in Alberta, winter is very difficult.

Thanks a lot for sharing this information. I agree with you about Vancouver, BC, Canada ?? I have lived here for 45 years and believe, no matter how expensive it is to live here, I love it here!!! It is truly expensive to live here but it is doable as long as you are hardworking. For me, this is the most beautiful place to live in compared to other provinces. God bless & protect Vancouver BC Canada. God richly bless you, too, as you continue to educate people. ????????????

If you want to get your car stolen and the police do nothing about it then Toronto is the best place to be!!!

Canada se bhi jaldi bhagenge! They dont seem to like one place! All countries have issues Australia, Dubai, Pakistan! They should by their own country!

That's how it should be. You come here or you're born here, you don't like the country, then don't change it and leave to a place where you'll be happy. Everyone wins

It is expected that non-muslim environment is not suitable for muslim people, the same goes the other way too. Western people and Asian people who visit Muslim countries feel like they don’t belong there. So, it’s quite logical that a Muslim person would love to move to a Muslim country. I am very proud of your decision! Hope you will find a great place to live in. Hopefully this example will spread to other Muslims too.

he said its pretty decent play. all punjabis spoiled canada and uk too. its looks like disaster.in Brampton . iam in london now ,there is place called in london is southall all creepy punjabis,

Hello! As you said you have been in South America. I am sure your mind have changed in comparison to YYZ. I'd like 2 know yr country and YYZ this year and I am already conviced that If i were u, i'd never change YYZ for another place. I recommend you never get back to South America again. I live in São Paulo City and I know what I am talking about. Rio de janeiro as well. Violence is everywhere. Corruption os everywhere. I have visited ourr neighbours couple of times: Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and It is what you can imagine. My country Brazil, from N 2 S, E 2 W I know It Very well. So, dont say the negative.points from where you live. Here.whwre I live you Will see all types of negative.points you can imagine, like horror movies. \nHope you stay safe and well. \nOur greetings from São Paulo City, Brazil.

Khalistani,not indian.Canada ,over the year safe place for khalistanis.

What are tye things one shouldn't leave in their phones that could complicate them? Secondly, if you have a relative that invited you and you are to stay in her place for two weeks, will you still need to book a hotel?

As an Indian, I feel ashamed of how many Indians behave in Brampton! they're spreading it got other places as well. Thank God, I'm in Newfoundland

This England no room for that shxtty relion crap in British places

Bruh, why wear this in the out, many of us sikhs wear it below the tshirt! The guy is clearly trying to create nuisance! Cop did right! Please respect the place you live in!

If you don’t have a place to live in by now. Good luck if you can afford it anymore.

It’s every where around the world- government not taking control on housing and financial game.the people will move to other places looking for affordable housing and employment that support so there are a lot with out a roof\nAnd add foreigners it adds more than what countries can handle

Don't move to BC you won't find a place to rent. Move to Saskatchewan haaaaaa haaaaaa haaaaaa haaaaaa

Why you are spreading hate for students. When you should criticize the Canadian government and colleges. Why the government accepted so many visas at first place. Without student visa Indian students cannot come to Canada. But the government only cared about the money. They took the taxes and fees from students and now all hate is going towards students. I admit that the students must follow the rules and regulations. But the government should be accountable for the over immigration.

A lot of these foreign drivers think they can still drive however and do whatever they want because that's how they drive back home and on top of all that, they shouldn't have ever gotten their Canadian Divers Licence in the first place. They scammed to get their license just like how they're scammers back home...is anyone else starting to see a pattern yet? ?

Trudeau is trying turn Canada into Venezuela. WEF Marxist ideology.. place everyone on UBI

I hope nobody treats me this badly when I screw up in a new job. A very sad event took place, but this is just a vindictive response. Nobody can bring those kids back, but this overkill response is just because they were boys who played hockey. If it was a bunch of female figure skaters, there would have been nothing like this response. Canada needs to stop worshipping at the altar of the hockey God's. Driving jobs are all the same. They have impossible schedules to keep, that can only be met by speeding, and they hire drivers new to the country who are not used to winter driving.

I have been to India and I was appalled at what I saw. It is a cultural thing, as they simply do not observe the rules of the road. They do not observe lanes and swerve all over the place...There are many deadly accidents and this is just accepted as being normal... The population is so huge that one human life is apparently not worth very much to them. To turn a newly arrived immigrant from India loose on the Canadian highways before having undergone extensive Canadian based diver training and testing is INSANE.

According to your statistics 15%people are leaving what happened to the places staying vacant or occupied by other people.
