At least Canadians are HONEST about immigration. Everything this minister said is true for every country. No country can produce all the manpower it needs from within its own country. Canada is openly begging immigrants to come. Europe needs immigrants and cannot admit it. Europe (Berlin Conference 1849) divided up Africa an colonized plenty of other nations and now they wonder why they are coming to a town near you!!!! YOu can wage wars all over the globe, instead of going into these countries and securing safe zones to keep all the potential immigrants on their own soil!!! The fact that they are already in a boat is already far too late.

Justin Trudeau the most divisive Prime Minister in Canadian History. Trudeau's motto is to divide ,conquer and win. Trudeau cares for Trudeau and winning and no one else. He doesn't care for Canada and Canadians . Trudeau is treasonous, a liar, a hypocrite, unethical, incompetent, a narcissist, clueless. He needs to be voted out before he ruins Canada. The Federal Liberals are problem causers not problem solvers. Look at their track record. \n No consideration on the effect it would have on housing , the health care system , the education system which were already strained prior to his thoughtless immigration policy. This Federal Liberal Government continues to flounder.

I came from France back in 2015 whith my familly when Harper was still prime minister at the time , really I'd say things have been really great , my family and I have worked hard to get to where we are today and have always wanted to give back to our community here but I am disgusted to see in 2024 what Trudeau has done to the country and to see that immigration is no longer as prestigious as it used to be. Unlike some people we have today, I had to wait 3 years with my family before receiving approval to move to Canada (after so many exams, appointments and waiting times). I did my middle school here until college and I'm currently still looking for work in correctional and when I see that people arrive here afterwards without being permanent residents, who are literally flooding spots at colleges/university and also jobs that are normally open for young canadians in their 15-16 (When I was in high school, my first job was at a McDonald's, and without exception, everyone there was Canadian. Today, when I go back to the same McDonald's for a cheeseburger every now and then, the entire staff is nothing but Indians) .As a person with an immigrant background, I'm the first one to say that there's a very big problem in Canada, and that current immigration, mainly from India, is no longer for economic reasons but to reunite families.(They do not, and will never, assimilate into Canadian culture.)Now that I've grown up in Canada for almost half my life, I'm already thinking about either returning to France or start over somewhere else if nothing changes.\n\nThe Trudeau government, uncontrolled immigration, dangerous idelogies from extreme far left idea, rising unemployment, and economic misery getting worse every day , gradually pushes me away from the country I love, Oh Canada.

As a Hindu Indian I feel so sad for Canadians The fault is with 2 leaders of the the major parties & also Jagmet Singh & also with the immigration minister who is a muslims \nSo they made it another kalistian & Pakistanis terriost place \nThis is what India was warning the Trudeau government but he did not listen because he wants jagmet votes & made Canada a terriost country . \nI wish Canadians should arrest Trudeau for cheating Canadian people

The only way to stop this is to voted out Canadian Prime minister if Canadian citizens are serious to reduce or tackle immigration problems in Canada,otherwise they will loss their culture, heritage and their generation to come.

Need balance in bringing immigrants from only one country than from a few countries,\nWhere is Immigration minister,\nIt’s clear now the foreign student is big fraud and fraud only,

Immigration needs to slow down Justin Trudeau needs a step down as Prime Minister.

The immigration minister is the root cause of the problem. He should be impeached. Liberalism has created a huge problem in Canada that we have never seen before. Trudeau is the worst crime misninger without any qualification and all Minions in his cabinet are worthless POS.

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. . ..

Stop the blame game , shame on you blaming immigrants and foreign home owners these are a tiny proportion of the population and homes . Real estate agents are the biggest culprits in the rise of prices. I’ve been there several times as telling me my house is worth hundreds of thousands more or we can say exaggerated by 30% or more then my house is on the market for a year which is nota big deal for an agent they have 40 other listings and access to more moneymakers , I’ve sold my last 2 homes personally within days or weeks which were reasonably priced not overpriced this made everyone happy . Building a home is never a problem buy the land get proper permits and select a quality builder I’ve had steady employment and certainly not rich blue collar salary and never have been refused for a mortgage so if you want to build it’s always available , if you qualify for a mortgage.\nAs for your immigration babble do you like to eat food if the answer is yes you should appreciate immigrants, do you like the care you get in hospitals thanks again to immigrant nurses caregivers therapists, how about the next time you stay at a hotel/resort thank immigrants for cooking and cleaning , \nSure stuff costs more you can put some blame on lifetime pensions for politicians and senators for a few years work , over the top spending on government trips , the Governor General expense on wardrobe, minister of whatever buying new boots or shoes to make an announcement total abuse of taxpayer $ , government projects which get cancelled for who knows why and many projects which are unnecessary which are beneficial only to family and friends giving their private businesses contracts , same old guys club new blood is required with new ideas and purpose . \nCanada is expensive I’ll agree but still top 10 to reside in the world if you like life and freedom , eating regularly, lights on , water from your tap, getting to your job on real roads , getting an abortion , not expecting a hospital bill when you arrive home from heart surgery, the list goes on , whiners are are whiners the rest are makers and make our lives better .as for other post saying things are so much cheaper in the states , I don’t pay 10$ for a carton of eggs this happened last year in Arizona state the facts ,

This Migrant situation is Way out of hand ✋ ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!! Pierre's wife is from India or somewhere over there so if he's elected our immigration problem is going to become even worse we need someone who loves their country to be in charge of it like how Trump loves America and how he made that country be on top when he was president how the president of Argentina  Javier Milei he loves his country and now it's starting to flourish under his leadership and Geert Wilders hes making great progress doing what his people want him to do in his country and he loves his country and the Amazing MP in Poland Dominik Tarczynski who loves his country Amd Poland is THRIVING!!! WE NEED A LEADER LIKE ONE OF THEM WHO LOVE OUR COUNTRY!! WHY ISN'T THERE ANYONE RUNNING TO BE PRIME MINISTER WHO LOVES OUR COUNTRY WHO LOVES ITS ACTUALL CANADIAN PEOPLE WHERE ARE THEY I THINK I MAY TRY TO RUN NEXT ELECTION IDK IF ID WIN BUT ILL TRY MY BEST \nLETS START PUTTING CANADIANS FIRST AGAIN! ?? \nLETS MAKE CANADA GREAT \nAGAIN !!????????

Federal Immigration Minister: *issues student visas like candies on Halloween*\n\nFederal Immigration Minister: “Enough is enough. If provinces don’t fix it, we will”.

There are too many, but it is the government’s fault. In the last couple of years Canada accepted 500k student immigrants, about 250k were from India. The other 250k were from different countries. The Canadian government has made no effort to assimilate them, so they act as if they are India, which stokes resentment from locals. In addition, they practice discriminatory hiring practices – hiring only Indians, when you confront them about it, they say you’re being racist but when in fact they are the ones being racist by hiring only Indians. Stoking more resentment. A lot of their student visas are set to expire, but the Canadian has given them an extension which in turn will give them more points to get their PR cards. Prolonging the current housing shortage. I believe everyone deserves a fair opportunity, but the Canadian government has given preference to a country that is clearly undermining it to a point where they are carrying out assassinations on Canadian soil. The assassins came here on student visas. The current Canadian government is ruining the cultural fabric of this country. Stephen Harper was a great prime minister after all.

We've got recent immigrants who are homeless and using food banks and sleeping on the street or homeless shelters. Meanwhile, thousands of immigrants are still being shipped in compliments of our wacko prime minister and his ndp/liberals government.

Our prime minister El Wacko and his government (the ndp/liberal) has ruined Canada. My city has homeless everywhere. Good luck trying to find a doctor or trying to buy a house. The current federal government has turned Canada into an expensive dump with a declining GDP per capita. Meanwhile, thousands of immigrants are still being shipped in every month.

Stupid immigrant minister ?, step down !

Literally in the graph you showed immigration was relatively the same under Trudeau and Harper until post-COVID\n\nThe immigration was a necessary measure taken to sustain Canada's GDP. This is why you don't see Pierre Poilievre claim that he will limit immigration because it was critical to do so for the economy\n\nWhether it was Trudeau, Harper or Poilievre as Prime Minister in the last 3 years, the government would have taken the same stance on increasing immigration. Stop blaming Trudeau for your lack of understanding regarding macroeconomics

Libs/NDP MPs can't do math, so the Immigration Ministers' logic makes perfect sense. Too many of anything? Just make them something else and voila - no more problem. Sheesh...

Meanwhile our federal immigration ministers must be working on a plan to make all of them permanent.

Sean fraser was one of the worst immigration minister canada ever had.

yes, the immigration minister will simply boost along the citizenship process as a way to address the numbers they allowed but couldn't manage or get continued support from canadians for. but during lockdowns ei requirements were dropped to minimal numbers with a min rate of $500 per week extended to 52 weeks. the mass gutting of the ei fund is staggering.. maybe that explains the dedication to increasing the carbon tax, oh, and the need for other ppl to fund it along with our youngest generations, as you pointed out. that part makes good sense

The Deputy Minister of immigration is none other than the Indian Harpreet Kochhar. What do you expect will happen? The flood of his countrymen into Canada is just starting.

If only EUROPEANS had that same FAIRNESS from the immigration minister………?

The only person who wants more immigrants is the prime minister so that they vote for him in our next election. Everyone is smart enough not to make that mistake. Wish I could leave Canada.

His name will be remembered for generations, as the failure of a prime minister he is. People will talk for decades after his death that how he stole Canadians from their ability to be happy. Next time we vote, we should be rational instead of emotional. These are not teams, these are political parties. Vote to whoever will save the economy, immigration, crime and housing.

Welcome to the Communist country of Canada. We have a mentally deranged dictator called Trudeau. Our Prime Minister is a laughing joke among the world leaders. The government of Canada is a joke. The unbelievable lack of any common sense is non-existent. I live in rural Alberta. The hatred for Trudeau is very evident. I was once a proud Canadian. I am now ashamed of what Trudeau has done to this country. He has bankrupted the country which is close to collapsing. He has opened the floodgates to all immigrants mostly Eastern Asians from India and elsewhere. They have brought with them in fighting from their country. There's not enough infrastructure to house or feed these people. The prices of groceries are out of this world. We often see a lack of grocery items in the stores. I have to purchase products online like Amazon. In the province of Alberta, there are no family Drs. to be had. The city of Edmonton has about 6 or 7 Drs. taking new patients. I would not recommend anyone to move to Canada. I would wait until the PC government gets into power and starts to rebuild this country. We need a government that has their feet firmly on the ground.

Funny story - the housing minister now was the immigration minister while things were out of control. He was boasting about the record immigration numbers. Now he is blaming immigration… it’s comical (well really it hurts).

It is so interesting how europeans whom have a notorious history for stealing people's lands, killing, raping etc. even till date, will come up on media to complain that some of their VICTIMS are migrating to a land (canada) which is not even originally european in the first place neither are the aborigines europeans. I am not indian, i don't support any evil done by any immigrant or any act of filth and disorderliness, i dont live in canada and never plan to live in canada but this is quite interesting. These immigrants are moving to canada without shedding no ones blood or raping anyone and it hurts you so called europeans like this. Now you europeans should put yourselves in their shoes to know how it felt when you entered their land uninvited, killed, maimed, raped, stole, oppressed, dehumanised etc. which you are even still doing till date systematically. Wear their shoes a little bit to know how it pinches. I saw some british people on another forum complaining that an indian is the prime minister. Just imagine a british man or woman whom are the most notorious for the crime against humanity called colonisation complaining that they have a foreigner leading their country. It is such a pity.

Is what immigration minister told them to be doing. He is not first person they do that to

When Indian immigration lawyers, Indian owned employment agencies who employ illegals and pay them cash, indians who have figured out to come to Canada as a part time student for courses that do not benefit canada at all, a school system that is corrupt and accepts all Indians and does not report Indians that have canceled their studies once they get their visa, a liberal government with a incompetent immigration minister , it's only going to get worse for Brampton and turn the rest of ontario in to an Indian shithole. Try moving to India and change their culture and see what happens .

Dont blame indians when your own white immigration minister s making shitty choices. Its business to them just inviting more and more into country but there are no jobs. And dont forget alot of refugees and their 5,6 kids live free for years while canadians are on street

That one lady said it best if we immigrate to a foreign country we would have to adapt to their culture. People should do it here. I have no issues with immigration or immigrants. Have your church’s or mosques and practice your beliefs but don’t expect your new host country to bend to your wishes or beliefs, the former Australian Prime Minister said it best “you chose to come here we didn’t ask you come. the country is predominantly Christian if you don’t like it, go back to where you came from or find somewhere else to to live.”

Indian - Punjabi - Sikh — I don’t know which genius makes such categorization. Either use nationality or ethnicity or religion - why mix them all. This data is spurious. And superfluous. One walk along the street should be enough to see things as it is. My question is this - it was aryan Canadians who chose the governments - primarily composed of aryan Canadians - who invited others to sell the Canadian dream - which is a Ponzi real estate scheme - because aryan Canadians are too cold to make babies. And those who can seemingly can’t raise them into hardworking adults - you guys are bunch of entitled brats who want all sorts of expensive toys and foreign travels and all sorts of Soma without working hard. And you pretend that you are Americans! I am playing Devil’s advocate here trying to throw light a little inward, because not all of us are snowflakes. \n\nAt the end of the day you are responsible for your state. Granted that these immigrants are ugly and irritating and offer themselves as a soft target. But you are pointing your gun in a wrong direction my friend - they didn’t invade your country without someone opening the gates for them. Who opened the gates? And who empowered them to open the gates - for decades? Do you have balls to answer the questions? If not then you are exactly like your prime minister and you both deserve each other. So get your effing act together, and don’t elect a loser who passes the buck as your leader.\n\nI will vote for PP - let’s see what he can do.

This isn't something exclusive to Brampton anymore. Here in Niagara Region, and from comments I have been reading below it is happening all over Southern Ontario and across major cities across our great nation. So before some lib-tard starts at me.... Canada was built on immigration as a mosaic, not a melting pot; however if that mosaic isn't woven with diverse threads then..... the idealistic principle of that mosaic goes out the window, and we are left with Canadians being left behind. This is Trudeau's fault along with the housing minister, the deputy PM and the entire Liberal/NDP coalition. What is the fix? SEND ALL LIBERALS PACKING NEXT ELECTION.

The prime Minister did a lot of mistake about the immigration system first He must to have a quotas numbers of immigrants in each province , students , temporary workers and refugees with a small pourcentage .But He tooks everyone he didn t think about the housing problem and the job market after the pandemic .Now they are huge consequence the cities are crowded , rent are expensive , crime and proverty is rising , people are struggling with cost living .People quite Canada because is not the eldorado they think .The problematic with certain refugees like soudanese and somalians create some problemin a country with crime .I don t said is all of them but they are unfortunately .

So if Trudeau wants million people a year in all categories of immigrants it must be economics 101 for him and his Ministers to consult Provinces in their areas of services what are the impacts and what do they need /when/$'s funding to welcome new people to Canada in a proper manner ( not make victims of them) and not make victims of current Canadians either. OOPS I forgot he works in a silo/alone. So all the billions of $'s announced last couple weeks are a demonstration of his failure.

Hmmmmmmmmm so Sean Failure Frazer failed as immigration minister because he followed Justin's orders....now he's failing as Housing minister because he followed Justin's orders......l know one way for Failure Frazer to stop being a Failure.........?

Ughh ever since trudeau became prime Minister he ruined everything good about canada. \nHousing is bad.\nFood prices are high.\nAnd health care is bad as well. . \nThey need to stop overpopulating canada. Many are homeless because our stupid prime minister. Yet he brings in more and more immigrants for what reason? I dont remember canada being this bad when he wasn't our prime minister.

He's not the immigration Minister stated in the news yesterday that they are right on track. Meanwhile thousands are dying in the streets in Canada

Prime Minister Trudeau has some policies to limited temporary immigration... He has health system with $198.6 billion over the next 10 years and $46 billion new funding to improve health care for Canadians,

I've lived in halifax most of my life and never had a problem finding a place to live. I had to move recently and became so desperate i had to hire a realtor. My city is becoming unrecognizable and full of unemployed immigrants who don't seem to have a problem at all finding accommodation of ay sort. I work my ass off, and I and most people I know are fed up with this idiot sorry excuse for a prime minister bringing masses of people in when our infrastructure is strained to begin with.

Yes, immigration is a problem...that HE has allowed to run out of control. Let Canadians vote on non-confidence instead of politicians because no one has confidence in Justin and his ministers.

he's never gonna shut the illegal immigrant flood gate. it's easier for him to blame his ministers. he'll never accept responsibility for any of his screw ups even though every single problem Canada has lands squarely on his shoulders.\nthe only silver lining here is that he's dumping them all in Ont and Que. who are the ones that keep him in power. So by now hopefully they have seen the light and have had enough of his BS and are ready to vote something other than liberal. i hope.

The ripple effects of mass immigration housing ,healthcare , infrastructure, education, the cost of living supply , and demand . None of these problems were considered by these incompetent ministers .

Trudeau and his then-minister Sean Fraser caused our immigration problem, which in turn caused our current housing crisis, which Sean Fraser has now as a portfolio since Trudeau appointed him last summer. Trudeau is the problem, period!

From having lived in 4 of the G7 countries over the past decade, I think Canada is the worst by far. Although it’s disingenuous to blame everything on immigration. The woke prime minister and his cuckoo policies deserve the blame too.

Mistitled. It's not the country that wants immigrants, it's our useless prime minister who wants more voters.

SOMEONE OPENED AN IMMIGRATION OFFICE IN INDIA AND COLLECTED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO BRING ALL STUDENTS THAT MONEY MUST BE SHARED WITH SOMEONE A CANADIAN POLITICIAN. MUST INVESTIGATE WHO, ARE THOSE OFFICE S SHWICH MINISTERS ARE DOING ALL??
