these are domestic immigrants that live on this continent...\ngo look at what's welcome and what's not 1% domestic 99% over seas \nwho do you think should be on the list first?

like how ignorant people label other people as illegal, lol there's no just thing as illegal, just immigrants. Stop labeling people and stop thinking the it's al white and black like saying you should come here legally wen the rules are against you from the beginning.

You can't move to a country and want everything your way because of your culture. I'm mixed and don't think it's fair that people are being pushed around because the choices they make. England isn't a country from the Middle East and people who immigrate here need to accept it or go back!

I'm Catholic I don't think muslim immigration is a bad thing I my opinion muslim immigration is a good thing because Canada has an aging population and needs new people

Are we saying that immigration can't digitally track people entering and leaving canada... don't they scan passports... Also the income and job that people have in canada is linked to SIN, how can that be cheated!!! I think there was a lapse in due diligence from our authorities as well.

Sooo you're an illegal immigrant in the us, you then move to Canada, they ask you to show up with your papers, you run away in fear of behing deported and then, you become an illigal immigrant in Canada and you think all of this in not fair on you???????? How about you follow that law for once in your life?

I don't think it is about the false hope, to my mind it is about the ignorance of the immigrants

Canadian here. I want to make one thing clear: *WE ARE A REAL COUNTRY WITH VERY STRICT IMMIGRATION LAWS!* I myself am an immigrant, although I came here as a baby. People seem to be under the impression that Canada is some sort of utopia that welcomes every single immigrant with open arms and sings “Hakuna Matata” with them. No, we are an actual country with stricter immigration laws than the US. Yes, we love diversity. Yes, it is our strength. But that doesn’t mean everyone is fair game. I’m not even specifically referring to this man here. All so-called refugees who already had made it to the US. If you were a refugee in the US and then come to Canada, OF COURSE we’re not gonna automatically grant you refugee status. Jesus Christ.\n\nTrudeau is not being a hypocrite. Of course we appreciate and welcome immigrants. But We. Have. Laws. End of discussion.\n\nEdit: I want to make it clear that I support immigrants. I voted Liberal and I will again. Either them or NDP. I’m just so sick of people thinking they can waltz into Canada and become a resident. “If Trump gets elected again, I’m moving to Canada!” Please ?

I swear leftists are such morons, thinking that Canada let's anyone in. Their immigration is far stricter than the US.

Canada should implement a law same as Australia. A very strict law against immigrants...This is an attack to our system and to our security. Such a think should not be happening here in Canada.

I'm white, I've been followed in stores. I'm not stealing so I don't care. I rented a room to a woman from Iraq, she was nice but didn't speak english. She often left bits of tp where she sat, instead of womens pads I think. She moved 3 months later, she had stuffed cig butts under the plunger in her sink instead of the toilet. Immigrants had convinced her we overcharged and she moved in with them to her regret, but I wouldn't want her back. She was a needy pain. We have refugees in an apartment across the street, Many different plumbers the last few months, now all new tenants are white. I can understand why.

I don't think Canada ever lied. Unlike the USA Canada does not play around. We welcome legal immigrants and bona fide refugees. Unfortunately there is a lot of greyness in what it means to be a bona fide refugee. Perhaps too many people think it means one thing. \n.\nMy heart goes out to all these foreigners wanting to make a life here in Canada - after all I am one of them. The ONLY difference between the guy in the video and me is that I was lucky to have an opportunity to get a degree'd education and was accepted into Canada.

Canada is one of the worst places to immigrate to. I’m Canadian. I know what it’s like to live here. Plus I’m indigenous. So I’ve face racism and prejudice. Many think my people gets free handouts. From my experience that’s far from the truth. I’ve left my community for a better education. I was completely alone without parents and my siblings, living with an aunt that used me for another pay check. I couldn’t go to college because I couldn’t afford it, even tho I got accepted into three colleges. Now I’m working a part-time job that forces me to stand on my feet all day. Not many job opportunities are out here unless you’ve gone to college or obtain training. plus the rate for rent is horrendous.

To me, it looks like Vice is really trying to pull the emotional card to get people to sympathize with this man because he really is in a rough situation. But, he is in a situation of his own making. It sounds like he had not done any prior research about Canada before deciding to claim refugess status. Yes, Trudeau was not giving the full truth when he made those public announcements to the media. Yes, people (educated or not) can be swayed by words of leaders they respect. But, to think you can just enter another country and claim refugee status without understanding what that actually entails is very naive. Canada has very transparent laws that are easily accessable in a multitude of different languages. The provinces also have legal assistance for those who can not afford lawyers. So, the fact that this man was able to spent $15,000 when he is being portrayed as a low income earner makes me question his income, or if he was even aware that he could apply for legal assistance. And since he has a lawyer who has been working his case, I would like to assume that the lawyer would have said something about assistance.\n\nI really want to be sympathetic for this man and his family, because security uncertainty makes life extra hard. But, as I have had to live in more than one country due to the Canadian immigration system refusing my husband due to a very old DUI (which has set our life on a completely different plan than anticipated), I have a very hard time being sympathetic when I feel as though they did not reach out to educated themselves on the laws of another country. I am a Canadian who currently can't live in Canada with my husband of 3 years and I still don't hate my country. I respect the hell out of it (this is not to get into our historic treatment of BIPOC, which deserves it's own seperate time and is a bloody stain on our land's history.)

Lol White ppl think Canada is their country. They don't know they are Immigrants too ?. At least we as Immigrants which country we come from. What about u White ppl? U should find your background ??

There is no systemic racism in Québec? lol, has this guy ever did the paper driving exam? Even as a native French speaker, it is hard to understand the poorly written questions. How do you think an immigrant does when they need to pass this test in less than 6 months to be able to do keep his job and can't always pass the test in his own language?

Honestly, what did he think. It is not easy when you have no education to come and get accepted. Plus her chose Alberta when there was way better choices. For example, Montreal and Toronto are better to immigrants. There is reason why is difficult also. If Canada was to accept everybody,it may not be as safe as it is now. Canada does not welcome everyone. It wants people that can be useful to society because ppl pay a lot of taxes for services and paying for someone that can’t be helpful can be frustrating for tax payers

Maybe if we (the western world) stopped creating so many inequalities worldwide... People wouldn't want to come here so badly. Maybe a little critical thinking and some compassion for others would go further than wasting tax payer dollars on walls and more boarder enforcement. Immigrants will only get more creative to try and get here. Build a wall, they will climb it. Hire another boarder enforcement officer... Sneak around him/ her. The real crisis is the lack of understanding of why these people left their country in the first place. Wake up.

Immigration is all about money. That's why a lot of places open gates for new immigrants. It's all about money. For the ones who keep complaining about new immigrants take away your jobs, why don't you think about how much can you pay to contribute your country? Those new immigrants pay double and more to just willing to reside.

What do Briths think of Filipino immigrants and other southeast asians?

I think that Donald Trump, with all the intelligence that he is, should not have given all power to immigration officials and I think that they should look more deeply into the underlying problems and because rapists, kidnappers, drug traffickers enter the United States and only because they have a lot of money are they accepted

Usa and Canada aren´t the best countries of the world but a lot inmigrant people think in the economic progress, but Brazil is the best country in the world or another, the USA officers cancel my Visa legal, I tried to visit Denver for 15 days, I tried to get in by Fort Lauderdale, and immigration officers, stop me, I was treated like a criminal, I am a systems engineer, a university professor and I was in a cell one night, the first time this happened to me and there is no justification when my passport and visa were fine.

The cops don't care as long as they are paid, the Liberals don't care as long as they are paid. God hearing JT's voice makes my stomach turn. To think JT paid 25,000.00 to Roxam road inhabitants. Wouldn't that be something if all of Roxam road citizens become sick with Coronovid19. He paid $10 million to Omar Qatar, why would he stop illegal immigrants crossing the border. ???

God this documentary is so flawed. The symphony? Really? You are comparing the 50s from today? There were much less immigrants in Canada back then. There were less immigrants and ppl of color that played instruments. And those that did, less of them actually tried out for a symphony. And then the blind resume test totally proved no bias. In fact I think it might be the opposite. I’m American (but I have a horribly foreign name). Americans looking for jobs, I think, eh... another goofball lazy American. But if I see a foreign name, I assume they might be more serious and work harder because of old school family values.

Originally from the Philippines here and once a homeless man told me to go back where I came from. I'm actually surprised he said that, I’m just a passerby.\n\nIt hurts a bit but then I moved on. I think racism is everywhere. People just don’t have the time and mental energy to understand and know each other, I guess.\n\nThat is why I’m telling my son to have a good solid ground of resilience (aka not be to be a snowflake). Life is too short to wallow on this. We came to Canada as immigrants, do not except everyone to treat you like a first class citizen. But the way you act, the way you do, and how you treat people around you may earn you respect regardless of your color, race or creed.

Canada doesn't need more immigration, everyone knows its corporate cheap labor behind it...they want to pay lower wages and increase profits even if it means the destruction of national sovereignty...these corporations need to be highlighted and action taken against them in the form of massive boycotts of their products if they don,t care why should the public...these are corporate PIGS,,disgusting greedy selfish psychopath's who only think of themselves....they should all go to jail..

When you have Immigration policies such as Trudeau's. People get fed up , and who do you think they will take it out on ? Trudeaus building a bomb in Canada.

This sunny guy has con so many of his own China people and ask them to say lies. The lady also thinks the Canadian law is stupid say she is victim. This sunny guy ask her to lie she also follow and lie to immigration so she deserve no mercy either.

Having experience with Canadian travel by car and commercial truck as a Alaskan resi. I assure ALL that it is set up solely on Revenue trap! Canadians are awesome polite and respectable people, but the Government SUCKS!!! (Think British Queenie Worshiping Commie Prick Gov. NEEDS THEIR ASS KICKED) Past time to BOW-UP Ca-nooks, ya pussed out and gave up your GUNS. Are Ya Men or Mouse EHH! Illegal Immigrants Suck, Most countries wont put up with invasion pushed by commies. Except for political BS Democrat's!

How many others are there? Stop and think about the benefits that ghost immigrants will be collecting. From health care to retirement benefits, on the backs of hard working people that are overtaxed and under served. Good work for the investigators but shame on the government for this weak nation

What can you say? Without these crooked mainland Chinese want to go cheating on our system, there won't be any immigration consultants like Sunny. \n\nThe thing is when our Canadian immigration system is being lenience. The people from mainland China don't think of it that way. They are thinking. This Canadian immigration system has so many holes that we can exploit, they are (Canadian immigration) so stupid, let's exploits it. That is how Sunny comes in.

Justin Trudeau should know that these things will only keep rising if they letting in immigrants so easily. Some people like to claim that 'we are one' but do we understand that we all come from different backgrounds. The best thing I could think of is let immigrants in only if and only as long as they contribute to your country's economy. Unnecessary favors will not do any good to Canada.

To answer him about sharia\nNo muslim immigrant said muslims want sharia law in canada, as muslims we are told to follow the rules of whatever country we are in excpet when the law tells us to not obey god, for exampl, forcing us to drink alcohol.\nSharia law is in islamic countrys, which myself i completely agree with, but in countrys that took us in as refugees we can not and will not and have not the authority to call for sharia law, and I doubt anyone is doing it, so this guy is clearely an idiot who thinks he knows something but he doesn t.

And mostly people in the comments are talking about immigrants so your problems about immigrants syrian or etc , not about muslims ? why do you attack to islam please come and visit Turkey. Arabs and most of us muslims but our cultures are definetly different. You just see some muslims and think everything about islam, you don't think about cultural things.

It’s sad too see all this negatives comments y’all don’t know how hard it is for immigrants Unless you are one you can never relate the presidents thinks we are all rapist killers and bad people but that’s not the case yes there might be some bad people but I guarantee most of us are good people who come here too work really hard so our family’s and children can have a better life I don’t understand why we get so much hate all we come too do here is work hard and also we do jobs that no other people will do let’s put an example I don’t see any white American or black African American working in construction yes there might be some but most don’t like working outside in the heat because it’s hot and because it’s a hard job look at el Paso shootings you tell me who did that shooting ? It’s really sad too what this country has become too and the president is very wrong too and if your with the president you’ll should be ashamed of yourself.

I am shocked at the fact there are more dislikes than likes when the CBC provides facts and so many people say they are lies, and others agree! The negative sentiments about refugees and immigrants are getting louder and people are happy to call fellow human beings “them”. They insinuate this is a huge burden, when the fact is we benefit from migration. It seems people think Canada will be over run by people from a foreign land, take all the resources and eliminate people born here, but that’s only happened once, when the British and the French arrived 400 years ago.

I would sit on my door step, drinking ale, with my dogs, in front of my union jack painted door. Because this is England, and i would be doing NOTHING illegal. But saying anything against being culturally enriched like this, labels you a nazi, facist, far right, whatever. This sort of immigration was prescribed for us, we weren't asked if we wanted it, just had it dumped on us, by people who live far away from such environments, and would never choose to live among us. Why do you think brexit happened!? Will know one address the elephant in the room? ask anyone who voted to leave the EU and a part of the reason, if not the whole reason was immigration! The nation spoke, is speaking, and you just wont listen. FFS

As a conservative, thank you vice for showing the truth of Canada's strict immigration. For some reason liberals think canada is this great liberal paradise

These results are a bi product of canadas multiculturalism experiment, crazy how much money is spent on these witch hunts when kids are starving and freezing right here in canada!!!! If these immigrants think they got it so bad talk to a german, italian or Japanese who fled their war torn countries for Canadian freedom but were thrown in concentration camps, grow a pair already, and kudos to the ones who came here and took charge of their own life

Yeah lots of bad communication here. The whole world percieves Canada as allowing everyone in, and the rest of the world is looked down upon for their immigration laws. I think there needs to be more compassion around this issue but not ridiculous expectations.

So do u think to be blame the christian or the monk the Hindu the buddist it’s the Muslim who most doing this kind of problem we as immigrants in this country should follow the Canadian way of life not to change there life we are just visitors in this country u want respect just also respect others

so you might think this means with fluent english, some job experience with a mid degree and money to sustain yourself for a year anyone can immigrate to canada if this women who cant speak english did.. the answer is NO. there is a big chance u will be rejected..

Chinese spies are still trying to find a new way to obtain legal citizenship in Canada and United States yet the liberals dont seem to care about it because they are brainwashed by the CCP officials so why doesn't the government of Canada n United States do anything about it?\nThis Chinese immigrants were very well trained on how to respond to questions. If they think China is so great then why dont they stay in China.

I've noticed a lot of non English speaking immigrants pan handling outside grocery stores all over the lower mainland.....just think what its going to look like in Vancouver when thousands more get imported in

It's funny how most western governments are ok with immigration and open their countries up to this type of thing then defend their immigration policies then want to ban religious symbols of the people they let in willingly and complain about them and how they live...smh doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me when u think about it ?

Okay I'm sorry but what country welcomes illegal immigrants with open arms ( besides Sweden even though they are cutting down on immigrants refugees). Then why do all these illegal immigrants refugees always thinking there is a promise? No one promised you anything!

ISLAMISATION OF EUROPE, ENGLAND AND AMERICA. Actually, we see in Sueden, Denmark, Germany, England, Australia, New Zeland and other countries, the fiascos, promoted by MERCKEL for immigration. In all those countries, by millions, the Muslims are making pressure to introduce the Shariah Law and, for one, MERCKEL let them to. Pretty soon, we will see those countries, introduce representations in their government and, it will be the end of them. As drastic a measure, by all means, those Muslims must be reduced by numbers. Statistics don't lie. While the average children birth, represent 1.5 per couple, we see rates of 4 to 16children per man in Muslims communities. On top of being in tandem with islamism, they are supported by social programs, where they can benefit of all the ressources of SOCIAL SECURITY, PUTTING UNDER THE NATIONALS. In Canada, their population is 1,053,945 or 3.2% . In USA, their population is 3,450,000 or 1.1%. \nWe observe in Canada, a government representation of Muslims in strategic positions. The same is observe in USA. As a matter of facts, the usual patterns of infiltration is in progress and, we even see COURTS referring to the Shariah Law as weight on our regular administration of JUSTICE. THERE COULD NOT BE TWO (2) SYSTEM OF JUSTICE for our citizens. IMMIGRANTS HAVE TO CONFORMED TO THE LAW OF THE LAND, not to the SHARIAH. The operating system among democratic countries cannot be base on the Quran (Coran) and, the prescriptions of their Prophet MOHAMED. Those archaic systems were designed to control human activities in the Arab World, not in the WEST. It is at work since the 7th century. At the speed they go, Canada will be a Muslim State in 30 years. I said it before, Canada must joined the United States as fast as possible, to reduce the muslim influence or, drastic measures be introduce to reduce their number. In Quebec, for exemple, the LAW is in process to reduce their influence and, many muslims already think to move West of Quebec. That's a society very flexible to change of perceptions. Our LAW must not show any flexibility to the application of the Sharia Law and our understanding of liberty of religion, must stay private if need to. Moskes liberty must be stop at all costs and, no permit delivered. Those moskes are serving the only purpose of endoctrination and, make undue pressures on american values. Gerry

First step when planning on moving to another country, try the legal system.\nStep two, once there assimilate the culture and language.\nStep three, don't force yourself into their society.\n\n\nIt is also stupid to blame immigrants for everything wrong happening in America, there are plenty ignorant Americans who will think with their asses before learning about history and how America's game of an economic hitman is causing many troubles around the world, immigration is just a side effect.

His sentence was a joke. 2 years. He probably spent that time planning his next fraud. It was well worth his time in jail. Why isn't the Canadian overseer receiving more money in order to stop other perpetrators. I think government doesn't care much or it would do something about it. Get Trudeau out so we can get proper budget allowances to deal with illegal immigrants. Save Our Canada!

I think the government knew about it a lot earlier but chose to ignore it. Many people even still commit visa fraud to gain entry. Express entry is highly vulnerable and used by many people take advantage. I can even name a person. Akhil Choudhary, Misrepresented/hide info about work experience and unlawful immigration activities that he did in USA. When the US government kicked him out he went to Canada. you can find him at www.linkedin.com/in/smarketinguru. Crime does actually pays. He is well and earning good. Even encouraging others. I just wish that government takes a note of it.
