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

Inshallah it will be a good move for you. I dont live in Canada but I do consider move more East due to similar negative aspects in sweden. All good wishes to you n your family

Good Report. These people forcing to make them citizens. Can i know why??? . When while of Europe and western countries facing problems the indegeginious people white not getting jobs and facing problems of no housing, no jobs so going towards addiction. And these people want that they be oaid tax money on them for their housing and exemption . When they own something they keep only their color people from their country and call their families to settle on foreign soil. Whites are becoming minority everywhere. \nIts hight time not to bow down to their hunger strike black mail. \nWhat audacity the brown boy had when asking you that do you belong from here and that he is been there for 1yr or so. Not even little common sense that anyone would know who the outsider is (Organizer). He couldn't even speak decent undetandible English. And confronted you saying he belongs here. \nMaybe the lady with pink braids didn't really know what she was supporting or the threat it had. \nShe needs tovlisten to Murray's Douglas debate that immigrants will be a threat some 6 yrs ago. Now most of them european and westerners are woken up. Its high time theyvsend them back ti their undeveloped countries back. \nKeep it High Bro. Goid Reporting keep the msg flowing. \nOr whie will be seen only in museums set up by these migrants.

How about to require new immigrants coming in to satisfy some minimal obligations: they must be literate in English or/and French. They cannot come with a criminal record on the books. They cannot have chronic illnesses requiring lengthy or prolonged hospitalization, at the expense of the country. They must have some sort of vocational background: they must be skilled in a job or a vocation, specifically in cyber technology, financial arena, teaching, industrial experience above the level of manual or piece labor. And they must have some kind of financial backing of their own; money in the bank, relatives already in Canada with whom they might live and share expenses. Canada can rightfully close its doors to any immigrant with a prison record-esp. in violent crimes or theft; to any person coming to its doors with only the shirt on their backs and a large family, and to those who are illiterate in either French or English (or both). Nor should Canada feel itself bound and obligated to admit to its territory, as new citizens, anyone coming from an Asian community bringing with them a culture alien to the religion of its own citizenry.

That asshole talking to him and mocking him is way out of line. The delivery man not reacting in anger back pissed off that guy even more. Total Respect to the delivery man. Not all of us are like that. You can see the hurt in his eyes.As a Canadian citizen we do apologize for the customers sickening attitude towards you of anyone deserves a serious ass kicking attitude adjustment it’s this guy. I work with East Indians and they are amazing people. Very big on family values they have invited me over on many occasions to watch WWE pay per views only charged 10 bucks and included all I can eat Butter Chicken Naan Samosas Pani Puri Pakora Momas among others really good food absolutely mouth watering?

Imagine your cousins lived next door to you. \nThey live in a duplex (a single house with two separate living spaces shared by two families.) \n\nOne day your cousin says they want more of the house and start tearing down the wall and attacking their housemate. The housemate, rightly gets angry and starts retaliating and forcing your cousin to move into the backyard. \n\nInstead of letting your cousin live in your house or even your backyard, you tell them, “wow! You should try to get your house back. Good luck!”\n\nThat is what the Saudi FM is saying.

This administration is putting many families in difficult situations. A lot of people are financially struggling to live, put a roof over their head and put food on the table. Things are getting worse these days, if you don't find means of multiplying your money you might wake up a day to realise you didn't plan well for yourself and family…

Lets not forget boomers are complicit in this. They reaped all benifits of living in a thriving homogenous country with good wages. They were able to purchase homes, have families and make a living wage. Now they expect younger generations to pay for them in retirement. We have paided for all of their excesses. Now not native canadians will be able afford any of those things because they are importing people to prop up pensions and benifits for boomers with foreigners who will never assimilate and do not respect canadian culture.

Just thinking about all the anti family issues in North America that white Canadians face like abortions, LGBTQ, divorce, men preferring to stay single. The consequences of these ideologies are less and less reproduction, less and less babies being born. Could it be some propaganda some countries are using to slowly get rid of the Caucasian not only in north America but also in Europe? It's like they are becoming an endangered species...slowly.

It amazes me that his lawyer talks about what he and his family are going through. Im sorry but how about the families of those killed or injured in that accident, imagine the horror they have and continue to live through. This man including the owner of the company immigrated here . When you move to another country you must adapt to that country's laws. If i went to India damn certain if i broke their law i would be held to account. I feel no pitty here. Those poor young souls and adults who had their lives cut short because of those immigrant's failure of getting trained or following the rules of Canada. You come here you must adapt to Canada not the other way around.

All immigrants must comply with Canadian laws. Failure to do so should face the consequences of deportation. There should be no excuses. Wow how many lives were lost and families scarred for life and this man has rights to keep fighting to stay in Canada. It is time Canada moved more central politically and demand the respect of every immigrant. Follow Australias lead. If you were not invited then live within the country' rules or leave. Too many arrivals are deally just scamming born Canadians of all cultures. Time to wake up Canada...

What's going on with this world. We have to forgive, yes it's a tragedy and only God can judge this man and it says in the Bible that we need to Forgive, if you can't forgive then that's a very wrong way to be. I know No one can understand all your loss but in life that's how life is, accidents happen. This man has a child and a wife and family. He accepted Canada as his second home why take that from him. This is a sad case. I say let him live in Canada and look after his child and family.

When he was brought up in court, he manned up and owned his crime. His kid was born here and has rights too. We're not Yanks. We shouldn't break up a family. He did his time.

The shame on the Canadian justice system for taking this long to make this move. Think how the families feel having this over their heads for this amount of time. I have no faith in the Canadian Government or Justice system, this is a broken country that puts offenders first with no regard for victims.

Honestly you should have to drive 10 years in Canada with a G class licence and safe record in order to get your AZ. I don’t think deportation is the answer but he should have had to do a longer prison sentence, 2 years community service, never be allowed to drive that class of a vehicle and wait 5 years once released to reapply for a drivers license. Too much tax dollars already spent behind this man. The real victims will never have a voice and their families will never have closure.

His family can eventually go to him, I'm sure. Ehat about the families he destroyed by driving so negligently? He is the one at fault. His feelings dont get any validity.

DID THIS GUY CONTACT ANY OF THE FAMILYS TO SAY HOW SORRY HE WAS? \nNO, I DONT BELIEVE SO, BUT HIS LAWYER WILL POINT OUT THE PERSONAL HARDSHIP HES EXPERIENCED? \nYHA..OK\nNOW PACK YOUR BAGS AND GET OUT OF CANADA.\nGOD BLESS THE TRUE VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILYS..

Pls we r family of 5 isnt possible for me to go via dis route and later cm for them will dey give me visa?

Global News is trying very hard to turn this deportation into re-casting a convicted criminal as an oppressed victim. Why? \nSidhu was not and is not a Canadian citizen. Conviction = deportation. But put that question aside for a moment. Was Sidhu trained, licensed, experienced and knowledgeable about driving a heavy vehicle on a highway across the Prairies in winter conditions? If so, where did he get that training and experience? Did he have the qualifications for a Class 1 Operator's License? Did he have prior experience? If so, where, when, and how much? \nGlobal News doesn't focus on what caused the deaths of the Humboldt Broncos - why? Accounts at the time suggested that Sidhu was not qualified, but that by some process he got the job anyway. Will Global be following up on that? Up to now, Global has not asked those questions. Sidhu was convicted for actions resulting in the Humboldt Broncos tragedy. He is not a Canadian citizen and the rules are clear: his criminal conviction means he's being deported. Unlike Global News, the victims I see in this story are the families of the Humboldt Broncos team, and the team members themselves. Global News want to change criminal to innocent victim. Nothing could be further from the truth. He was given a fair trial, convicted and sentenced. Now he is being deported. If Global wish to play the 'reverse the story' game, perhaps they should refuse Canadian citizens' tax dollars as 'revenue'.

Finally... a good news story. But still so sorry for the families of the victims of the tragedy.

This man had caused a tremendous pain to many families. I don’t see any chance even remotely that he should stay in Canada

I think family members should have a say and no one else. Very tragic situation

He has suffered enough? he is alive to be able to make that claim. The families ripped apart by his actions, the death toll created by his actions and the nerve to ask for permanent residence here again, NO he gave up that right when he drove his truck into that bus.

What happens to the family victims ?

Who will pay for his crime??? What will happen to the real victim's families???

Miscarriage of justice. He should have been permitted to stay and raise his family. It was an accident but people want revenge. I don't feel that way. Indian people except for Jagmeet are in my estimation good people who work hard to better themselves. They are nice people who love Canadians except for Jagmeet. I think he deserves a second chance. He's not some useless bum. He works and raises a family and spent 8 years in jail. I think he's being deported because he brought embarrassment to the Liberals insane mass immigration policy.

If he can afford fancy suits and expensive lawyers, he can afford to fly his family to India one time. What's the problem?

This should not have lasted as long as it did. He's not a canadian, so it's time to go back. And what's crazy is there talking about how he suffered a lot and what do you think about the families he ripped apart

No compassion needed. India has doctors.\nOttawa has failed Canada. Canada does not need immigration from India, Pakistan, the middle east, Africa or Haiti. We do not need these cultures, lifestyles or religions here.\na family with 7 children came from the above countries, they get $8900.00 dollars a month tax free and a house to boot.

He has PTSD ? His son has medical issues ? What about his victims and their families ?

Deported himself and his family from India. Womp womp. Back you go

f this things family, how many familys did this thing destroy?

Don't forget Canada charged a white guy with Terrorism for hitting a muslim family who walked into traffic.

it takes a lot of grace for those families to say he should not be deported, I imagine that would be very hard and shows the power of forgiveness

Good it’s about time. All those families changed and some in definitely. So who cares about his family and rights. He can keep living but he can live his life in india

Sadly these comments are full of racism, condemnation, and hatred, with no consideration for the possibility that this could have been you, a family member, a friend, or a loved one driving that truck, but for the grace of God go I. Anyone of us could have been driving that transport and found ourselves in that exact situation, but I'm sure none of us consider ourselves to be evil, just human, imperfect, and succeptible to momentary lapses of judgement, that can result in horrific, life altering accidents(eg a child drowning in a pool, a child falling from a balcony, a car accident, accidently striking someone on a bicycle, accidently striking a pedestrian etc).

It’s a sad day for Canada. This man has paid his debt, acknowledged his mistake and asked forgiveness from the families affected. He should be allowed to stay! Read the facts given at trial!

He still have the guts to apply for immigration to stay in Canada? Those who lost their family members will feel very uncomfortable. I don't think they will like him to stay in this country.

Boo hoo, his family is going to get ripped apart? You ripped apart a dozen families

I think the wealthy NHL family had too much influence in this decision..I hope he catches a break and can stay.

Canada ?? is a highly democratic rule of law country. Independent court decides verdicts.\n- In China??, the laws don't apply to high-ranking officials or their families.

Accept your culture ok ,divorces,disturbed family life ,stressful life western culture life.when British live in india ,they didn’t change their culture or values they stay same .so why do you tell Indians to change their values and culture

Too much water in the stew, When a government borrows money, It is not a government anymore. Canada is bad for families now. Cannot afford to walk across the street.

Canada has become a joke. All my friends and family that have moved to the US in recent years haven't looked back.

Listen family go back and stand firm

Oh, hell no! I love visiting my American friends and family, but Canada is a much safer environment. It never feels safe when there are people who walk around with guns. Also, I have a health issue that would bankrupt us. California or Hawaiian Weather would be amazing, but I live in Victoria, we do okay weather wise.

All the best with your move and your family.

I am from lahore there was a sikh family in my society we all had no problems
