I'm a Canadian and I don't recognize my own country it's become a shit! hole! It's ugly it smells like shit! You can't go to a park to walk your dog in your neighborhood because it's full of homeless crackhead so let these people go invade someone else's country for now! Unfortunately I can't leave I don't have any money ?

cheaper to live in the philippines then all canada with nasty prices !, rent will never go down , even if all the students lets say leave , nothing is going change that , no matter what government does any more , your going to see higher taxes , high inflation in food , and people living on the street ,, this what the government did , rich stay rich , middle class stays very poor , this your so called canada of the year !

Lets face it...time has been tough for now... yes there is housing crisis, students are suffering... canadian dream is broken as of now... but no nation is perfect... it all depends on your hustle whether you want to run towards the storm like a buffalo or a run away like a cow... you judge ur situation whether you r comfortable in ur home country and u think u can make it better overseas...all depends and is very subjective...so analysis your own situation...

Sounds like the USA craziness crossed the border into Canada. I let the US 5 yrs ago for Europe so I could actually live on my retirement.

??? Let me get this straight, they migrate to Canada, and then they protest when they don’t get things their way? Wth?

Regular Canadians don’t even want to live here anymore. The finance situation is absolutely broken. It’s mathematically impossible for people to live here let alone immigrate her. \n\nImmigration is a huge part of this country but when you dump 500,000+ more people every year AND THERES LITERALLY NO HOUSING AVAILABLE. We need to cap on immigration until we see a bigger flux of real estate. \n\nThat also means we need to cap on foreign buyers buying out all the new buildings we make. They need to be for Canadians ONLY

Recent skyrocketing rise in rents in big citys like Toronto & Vancouver have a lot to do with this but one reason this happened is because govt let in far too many foreign students since covid

This has nothing to do with the title! Why everyone is concerned about international students! Citizens are in deep sh*t! Lets focus on that not some punjabi student!

good go home don't come back. We are not a hand out you earn what you have. Not having to deal with stupid people from India is ok with me are worst two tool makers are from there where i work stop letting them come here

Canada is a dump now after 8 years of the liberal government. I moved here in 2017 and surprised to see how fast a country can deteriorate. Now unless you are rich and enjoy the boring culture and cold weather, simply don’t come to Canada. Everything is unaffordable and the government purposely let in so many immigrants to compete for necessities like housing. I made 130k last year but still far from owning a place. Although I get raises every year, my paycheck remains similar if not less because of increasing taxes and living cost let alone weaker purchasing power due to inflation. Canada becomes a playground for the wealthy who can speculate in the housing markets and some socialists who enjoy being broke and woke.

The turner of the video didn't match the content. Students aren't eligible for citizenship. A lot of these guys have terrible English and no skills, they would struggle to obtain PR let alone citizenship

I think it is the quality of the immigrants that come to Canada that needs to be analysed. If too many low skilled or people with unemployable skills are granted visas, then any country, let alone Canada, would seem like a tough country to settle and earn. Canadian govt seems to be lenient in allowing too many unemployable ppl to get into the country. This has resulted in an imbalance. It just needs a strong govt which Canada lacks at this point in time. 90% of the problems can be solved within 4 to 5 years if govt stops or regulates visas.

Let's go joe!

Venezuelan Americans voted 77% in favor of Trump on multiple occasions . We’ve been here legally for decades and now because of a select group coming through people are starting to hate us. I’ve been paying taxes since I got my first job at the age of 16 I’m 29 now, do y’all really think we want to give out freebies with our money too? No lmao, the left creates more hate by allowing this to continue instead of stopping it. Let’s go Brandon!

I was just forced by my husband to come here in 2010. I never plan to live abroad but I went for the sake of the kids and dont want regret. My husband is mentally ill even before we got married(family took advantage of me when they saw I was an independent widow that time). Upon arriving here, nothing was prepared,no beds no nothing just the social housing and he was already orienting me to get food from food bank and simply convinced me to follow here for the child benefits,free education and healthcare. Let me just mention, the family of my husband is claiming they were rich and prominent in the Philippines. Fast forward....14 years after, he didnt get a house for us....I just ran after him for child support....he didnt finish the divorce process that I ask him to do upon arrival....now, that its time for him to pay tution fee for college, he is mad! He is so desperate that he brainwashed one of his sons to blame me and make me feel like the whole thing is my fault! My son almost killed me last time bec his dad getting sympathy and ranting that he has no money. This is the biggest regret of my life......I believe if my sons are educated and grew up in the Philippines, they are more happy and was able to tap all their talents and intelligence. I am done here! And for people telling me that the money we earn here we dont get in the Philippines....sorry, my peace of mind and dignity has no price tag. I am not materialistic too. Respect to humanity is all we need!

Trump 2024. He’d never let this happen!

Reflect: Thanks WION for sharing the News. All these situations can be solved by implementing *ESG Policy* Globally. Let the migrant country of origin authorities hold the responsibility for unable to deliver Environmental and Social friendly in their own state/country and create chaotic to others. Pray for God's guardian and WISDOM upon the Leadership in the West. God Is Love! ???????

Use nice words and blockades, when that doesn’t work, use whatever force is legal. America and Canada are slowly becoming the two weakest and most corrupt countries on the planet because we let people who are more concerned with people’s emotions run the show

Let's go brandon

Let this be a message to all foreigners who are thinking about coming here.\nSTAY OUT.\nYOU CAN'T AFFORD IT HERE.\nYOUR FOREIGN DOCTOR'S DEGREE WILL ONLY GET YOU A JOB DRIVING A CAB.

denying help again stop breaking peace then don't let your people suffer y'all had a chance to have almost half of palastine but instead y'all rejected and kept the war going

Bravo the best answer ever. But walk the talk. Let the words be meaningful.

Why is the president of America letting this happen

Great video.skilled people should migrate to Australia but never canada..let me add 3 more reasons : canada is a non happy people, due to complex life, it's very hard to meet a Canadian happy. 2. Many sectors in business are dominated by people from a certain country and they will not anyone work in that field. For example, security guard, and warehouse jobs are only for India. Firefighting jobs are only for someone who's father or brother is a Firefighter. School manager is only Canadian of Europe origin...3. Canada is age eating place, meaning you come to canada young, but ur life will run so fast , that you get old and crippled very fast+not happy.

Why does America let itself be invaded by illegals and give them everything they want. Now Biden is offering them free houses. Surprised residents put up with this when no other country in the world would. Very strange

Im watching 2nd interview of this businessman, but the in this the interviewer asks in detail without letting the delink to happen in questioning. \nAs far as I remember from his other video, he reads Osho a lot, I guess.

There are legal measures to immigrate to the US! As a husband and father who paid over $15K to bring my wife and our 4 daughter's legally to the US and now over $5K to help them all attain US citizenship , it is frustrtaing to watch all the unlawful immigration happening. It is appalling to watch US citizens actually coming with excuses for it, and supporting it! If the political systems actually allows and continuee to allow unlawful immigration, they had better add in compensation for those of us who went the legal route! I know compensation for us will never happen, so instead let's enforce legal immigration and secure our borders!!!

He completely eliminated any chance of her question to be answered in a way that promotes a positive outcome for the Palestinian people that might bring a solution using the help of other Arabs to help their fellow Muslims in their time of need. They just sit back and watch as Israelis are forced to provide food, water, fuel, etc. He is a hypocrite. Everyone knows Arabs don’t get along with other Arabs. So let them laugh at Israel now. It’s only a matter of time before the whole world knows who will be “saved” and who will not. Amen ?

Maybe not let Hamas run the show?

Let them move to Arab countries, their religious partners do wonders things in those countries, so much so that no one runs away from them.

Who gets paid..? A COUPLE OF THOUGHTS.... Lets say you have 500k spaces for international students...each space is worth..hmmm 10k NOW this government is saying that they are capping the number of international students...these international students MIGHT GET INTO A BIDING WAR over those 500k available spaces.... SECOND thought....So, you have a cap on say 500k international students...MY PREDICTION...trudoo's government will RE-BRAND OR RE-DEFINE those individuals in excess of that 500k cap. FOR AN EXAMPLE...lets call them fugitives, extremists, asylum seekers, refugees...etc WHY WOULD YOU TRUST THAT THIS GOVERNMENT IS TELLING YOU THE TRUTH... SOMETHING REALLY STINKY ABOUT THIS PLAN OF TRUDOO'S....

From land to the sea... that's Israel new slogan... they want to take Palestinian... land...???\nNetanyahu and Israel and their security forces let this happen. They sacrificed over 1700 people on October 7th, so that Netanyahu can cover up his crimes...

You don’t have to give any reasons for leaving, just do it! I’m sure no Canadian will try to stop you. You should encourage many other Muslims to go with you. Maybe you can go fight and help free Palestine, put your money where your cap is. I think it is a marvelous, wonderful ides, hopefully you can start a Caravan of other Muslims to go with you, and they can join you in this utopia you have created in your mind of this place where you are going. I’m sure Canada was perfectly fine before your great great grandparent, grandparents, or Parents decided that a Muslim country was not where they wanted to be, and what was best for them and their families, and fled from it. Take care and Don’t let the door hit you, where the good Lord split you!!!

It's less people leaving than more people emigrating, don't let it worry you.

Because everytime an arab state did let them in they brought hamas with them and tried to throw over every government which tried to help them. So nonody of the arabs will let them in today. Think about it!

Canada is a big boat in the middle of the sea and we only have so much food for the crew but lets keep being on passengers now we all starving but the captain isn't

He's full of crap and makes me sick, no one likes you Resign, smoke screen, nothing to do with international students, has everything to do with his record immigrants he's let in that take priority housing over Canadian homeless, 2.5 million and still going, tens of thousands Ukrainians in the next month, why aren't they living on the street? Hmmm! Maybe because they're housed long before getting here, Trudeau is a disease and needs to LEAVE NOW! No one wants u in office and u alone are destroying any chance liberals have to get in

Lets put the cart befor the horse as usual Canada is the new dumping grounds the UK & Europe ran out of space smfh totally destroying my home ??

I'm an immigrant and my immigrant friends and I were talking about exactly this just the other day. I'd like to add some context on why so few international students stay: they can't. Schools prey on this very fact. In international recruiting, these schools use the promise of thriving local industries and trot out graduates working locally as major draws to these expensive programs. Then once students are in Canada, many of these schools couldn't care less: they offer little or sometimes no housing support, no immigration advice (or in my case and many of my friends' cases: they give straight-up false immigration advice that can screw you over or even get you in trouble). There absolutely needs to be regulation and accountability for these predatory schools; I think a good starting point would be capping the number of visas they can apply for based on the number of housing units available (either on-campus or via local development subsidy and homestays). Tons of students come to Canada completely unprepared due to false promises made by these schools, and then get spit out into an egregiously inefficient and broken work visa system.\nMy immigrant friends and I are all highly skilled in our specific field. There are only a handful of people in the world (let alone in Canada) who can do what I do at the level I do it, so I would be incredibly difficult to replace if I left Canada. Despite that, and despite being Canadian-educated (Canadian resources invested in me that you'd want to keep in Canada), remaining in Canada has been a massive struggle for me and my friends. We individually spend hundreds and even thousands of dollars every year to apply for permits that have to be renewed annually, but take the government 6+ months to process. Because the government is so backed up, we have to apply for *extra* permits to bridge that gap (more money, and more work added to IRCC's already-long line of applications). I'm in limbo for the majority of the year where I can't switch employers, can't leave the country, etc. It's horrible. \nBut I have it better than most. Of the international students in my year, only I and one other student are still in Canada because the transition to work permits is so needlessly long and difficult. Even a graduate who does manage to get a work permit might have to sit unemployed for 6 months or more before that permit is active. How is a student supposed to survive without work for that long? In order for employers to even apply to sponsor a graduate, they often have to do a lengthy labor market impact assessment, and so these graduates are stuck in a holding pattern, and they're the lucky ones. Immigration is absolutely vital to Canada and I hate how quickly these stories turn to xenophobic rhetoric, but we have to make space in the conversation to take a look at how schools are exploiting students and policy loopholes, and why they're doing it, and address those problems. The current system isn't fair to anyone.

You don't waltz into someone's home and try to make it yours, instead be humble, courteous and show gratitude for the accommodation. Canada has been my home for the past 23 years. I will consider myself as a successful immigrant, my son born in Canada is at leading engineering university. My wife fulfilled with her career. Hard work and commitment to live and let live will take you far. Your personal belief and ideology should stay in your basement. I Respect your decision, good for yours and Canada's future.

If you love this people ☝️ allow them to migrates to your country ! how simple is that!\nIf I’m the leader one of the rich Country? I’ll let them come in or to migrate. and help them to have a better lives. it’s simple and end of story.

Better to be letting in Students rather than any random criminal like they do in the U.S. from Mexico!

Let me get this straight… so they would rather stay in Palestine and die than seek refuge in a neighboring country?

Let’s get him on a that jet we pay for so he can emigrate somewhere far away from Canada.

let's be real, the real problems are the Indian students, who are poor and some are just working not studying, they are really fooling the immigration office when they apply for student visa.

The federal government is so irresponsible. They let in thousands of people into the country, but don't even provide funding to cities to deal with the strain. Absolutely horrid governance and policy.

Let's be real here. Intake of international students, refugees, and immigrants is too much and unsustainable. It has created incredible strain on the system. We all know it even if most don't say it out loud. There needs to be a drastic slow down or even stoppage of intake at least for a short while.

Sorry Trudeau not true about immigration we as Canadians are suffering from high gas and food costs plus housing is a huge problem in Canada if you had any thought on how to do anything right you would hold off on letting immigrants coming into Canada right now let’s wait on new immigrants coming into Canada

All I heard was “ima let them in so they can vote for me?”

I’d like to think I could watch the whole video but frankly within the first 3 reasons people are “leaving Canada” - not something I’ve notice although in and election season I am not surprised this may be getting blown up In conservative press, you have left out any real context. Yep we pay taxes - but you don’t speak to what services those taxes do our don’t deliver. The complaint that employers want to hire people with experience is as old as time. I’m 70 and when I tried to get jobs as a kid and later as a university grad - it was the same story. Whether the job really requires experience or the employer is just using it to keep entry level wages down - that just goes with the territory and also feels universal. Lastly - you speak of “the Canadian way” without giving any examples. What is “the Canadian way” or is that just your euphemism for racial or cultural prejudice? If it is you should just say what you mean and stop bandying ill defined terms around that let viewers arrive at conclusions you don’t intend. So already being pretty annoyed with your Masters degree opinion piece - I had to stop you and move on. You thoughts here are not very meaningful and feel like they are full of grievances and intended to be asking for audience validation of your grievances which pretty much invalidates your disclaimer at the top of the video.
