hahaha - welcome to Canada, the severe cold and a land of immigrants from Eastern Europe. Most a leaving anyway for Australia and NZ. Canada development has not kept pace. Affordable housing stock can be overcome and more infrastructure built. IF there are new approvals and investments. But, Canada economy has stalled.

Thanks for the explanation. But, can it be stated why applying for visa, i mean the one’s explanation why he/she is going to Canada?

Canada's leadership is lazy mentally , too conservative and close minded. What is the big deal about building more houses and creating more jobs.? If the USA can do it their narrow-minded leadership can do it too.

let's show immigrants that Canada does not want them f Trudeau we have to act ourselves

Next year, Canada will live the same crisis as the UK right now.

panjabi's are ruining canada and all indians name

Aur jao IELTS dekar canada

Who own canada? Those saying my country are forgeting they themselves are immigerent and not a native.

Too little too late Canada is dead

It’s crazy how most people think that Canada is importing an army of workers !!\nOnly a small percent of the million that come in every year have work visas (in the UK it is 15% and Canada is similar). The large majority are students from developing countries who are looking to immigrate to the first world but don’t have a job, education or any skills. Then it is family reunification and refugees. We are taking in very few highly skilled workers.

And now this YouTuber is teaching millions how to enter America through Canada ???

Trudeau needs to GO. OUR COUNTRY ISN'T THE SAME. ?. IMMIGRATION LAWYERS ARE TO BLAME. CANADA IS A CRIMINAL COUNTRY, FREE FOR ALL. IT'S NOT WHAT YOU KNOW IT'S WHO YOU KNOW. THINGS WILL CHANGE WHEN TRUDEAU IS KICKED OUT OF OFFICE.

I've seen so many ads about immigration to Canada on Instagram, here in Indonesia.\nA former coworker of mine is saving now to hopefully immigrate to Canada one day. \nThe online ads give us impression that Canada is in serious need of immigrants because of birth rate decline. \nI would love to go to Canada and the western countries one day, but not as an immigrant. I want to be a traveller there.\nI was raised in poverty and brought myself out of it. I cant imagine going back to poverty by being am immigrant in a foreign country. That would be a no for me.

I don't understand why people do not put the blame where it belongs - on Trudeau. He is the one that has created this entire crisis by purposely continuing to allow huge numbers of immigrants, half a million to million a year!! People do not see that Trudeau is doing this on purpose to undermine our Canadian culture and country. He wants to destabilize the middle class because he knows that's where the power lies in terms of informed voting. He needs to be removed AS.A.P. before Canada is destroyed completely.

Canada used to be a lovely country. But the public arrogantly decided to reject Christian values. \n\nNow the masses are reaping the consequences of their satanism. All while pretending they are the victim of their own decisions.

The link of unskilled labor please?canada is my dream country

Governments in Canada tax housing construction to the point that 50% of the cost is tax. That's a major reason for the lack of supply. Governments are destroying Canada and calling anyone\nwho complains racists\n Apparently, the same problem exists in the UK. Must be that WEF CoolAid.

Canada doesn't even have enough housing for the amount of immigrants they have let in the last ten years,it's destroying healthcare, education, housing,crime,.

make Canada great again

It is a mix of everything, IMO. Several other countries are also in the same situation (Canada is not the only country facing this). I think the big part is capitalism, which squeezes out everyone and reaches a junction where there is no balance.

You speak the truth brother this is ridiculous I don’t even want to be in Canada anymore.Its not even Canada anymore such a shame

Like this is retarded what if we did this to Canada. Wtf really

Anti immigrant sentiments rise everywhere not only in Canada.

I had no idea about Canada ? thank you again for letting us know what is going on

I have a relative originating from Caribbean who recently tried setting up in Canada, and echoed what the commentator has, i.e. that you have to start from the bottom in terms of work, having to work unskilled jobs, even if you are already qualified in a profession in your country of origin. Catch-22 situation of being required to have Canadian experience first, is true.

More than half of immigrants to Canada are economic refugees or Indian that exploited student / work visa. People that couldn't pass Canada's regular immigration requirements otherwise

Canada at 100 million is bat shit insane.

Canada, Russia are a very big country. They should provide shelter for Asian people where the population is growing very fast like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Phillipines, Thailand, etc.

when average Indian and Chinese don't even want to come to Canada, that's really bad

Canada has a broken justice system and doing frauds every where. Canada should be removed from G7 countries.

35 years ago, obtaining a Canadian visa required substantial financial resources, which applicants had to bring to invest in Canada, along with undergoing a thorough background and health check. It wasn't easy to become a Canadian citizen, so only a select few managed to achieve it.  Today, it feels like the standards have dropped significantly—allowing entry without financial requirements or rigorous screenings. This shift has led to increased crime rates, littering, and even the deterioration of our once-pristine beaches. It's disheartening to see Canada moving in this direction, allowing individuals who may not contribute positively to the country. They primarily come for the free healthcare and other benefits.

Thank God Canada is not an islamic country. Same if a Canadian moved to Islam, they would NOT welcome our culture and freedoms. Multiculturalism creates a space for economic failure, loss of identity, and an overall unsafe place to live. Canadians don't want to change our culture to suit yours. This is a country founded on Christian values.

How many Ukraine came to canada and were given free medical free training subsidised housing.\nAnd they still want more.

I have met so many people in Canada especially from Africa , Middle East and Europe who apply to come here as asylum seekers just because they know they will get govt benefits and housing.

After Covid - in Pak & Ind - Canada was the most desired destination. I made some analysis about Canada before deciding to apply for immigration and reached to the conclusion that Canada is falling soon (not as a country but for the immigrants so don't get hyper on me :)) So just be wherever you are because the world is going crazy. And no place on earth is gonna be peaceful for long!

Canada ?

Canada is precious. It's precious not for its crowded cities or the crime and addiction that you find on the streets of those cities. It's precious for its mountains and valleys. It's precious for its space. And its resources that you'll find there. The (current) government will have you believe that they care about these things, too. \nI care little of where immigrants are coming from. I care little of the politics of their countries. I care little of skin. I care about merit. What can you do for Canada. Will you just take up space...

Canada could be poorer than PAKISTAN because of its problems that its government are doing NOTHING to prevent it from the future.Canada would be the 7th most DANGEROUS country in the world just like Pakistan because of ginormous mismanagement of economy and inflation!So sad and hopelessness continues to GROW just like the economic crisis in Pakistan

Canada is broken

Exactly landlords are aware of housing crisis in Canada. That is why they start breaking the law by evicting old tenants and bringing in new tenants for higher price . Dishonest reporting there is more to this story and housing crisis in Canada people are sleeping on the streets .

look up roxham rd border crossing. during trump's presidency migrants were flooding into canada from the US (upstate NY)

Dont forget canada is basically closed for business. \n Not too long ago a bunch of large corporations left. \n All of our taxes hinder the population and our business. Add in yet more tax ie the carbon tax its no wonder.\n Im surprised theres not more bankrupt farmers also.

Canada should create more attractive cities. No more suburban cities that has no culture and looks like every other city. Ethnic enclaves and multi level housing brings life to big cities and attracts people who want to find community

CANADA IS A POLYSCHEME NOW!!!⏫️?????‍?

A lot of applicants are tricked into getting student visas by recruiters into going to Canada for the promises which turned out to be just promised when they get there. Canada has to be stringent on its immigration laws to prevent scumbags from getting rich out of people's despirate hopes and dreams.

WE also don’t t have enough usable land to produce food, And Set up infrastructure that is affordable. We already have high costs of living in very under-serviced areas. The space that is already used for the population of canada is already over populated, and overpriced housing and living costs for our citizens.

This country has plummeted drastically this past decade. The immigration is absolutely ridiculous. Doesn't matter from where. This problem won't be solved until the Baby Boomer generation has passed away, but that will also cause issues too. We need to focus on our own before accepting others in. I hope things don't escalate like it is in the UK right now, but people are sick and tired of what's become of Canada.

As a person that grew up around Muslims and have Muslims in my family, the Middle East has never gotten along with each other way before the west came to that region. It’s always been the Sunnis vs. the Shiites. The countries that you named are Sunni Muslims who are anti terror and are tired of instability coming from Islamic jihadists regimes who are the Shiites. Also, the west have become corrupt cowards who have been brainwashed by leftists ideology that thinks by not accepting illegal migration, that you are a xenophobe. Now look at France, Canada, Germany, the uk, Sweden, Finland, Norway, and even America and how liberals have destroyed these once great and proud nations. Our grandchildren are going to hate us.

I'm so glad I left Canada 8 years ago.

I’m glad that the province of Quebec has passed Bill 96 because if the bill weren’t implemented, that means that majority of Quebec would be Anglophones just like rest of Canada ?
