So much illegal immigration, from the UK to EU to Canada to the US. Seriously, these numbers are terryfying and no one has a solution.

1. Canada's immigration is primarily skilled labour. Non- skilled labour is imported mostly from the Carribean countries especially Jamaica and you have to leave every year and come back in the next. So, that can be disruptive, but I've met Jamaican's who've been on those programs and done well as well as those who haven't.\n2. If you come to Canada illegally utakipata. Be prepared to hustle for long.\n3. Since Covid everything has become very expensive especially housing. \n4. The videos you've shown of people sleeping outside is because of an increase in the influx of refugees wanting to come to Canada. Refugee shelters are allocated money in the budget for what the Govt estimates will be the number of refugees they'll take in, but there's been an influx lately.\n- A point to note though, ALL refugees Canada received from Ukraine had jobs within 2 months. Why? very skilled labour.\n- Canada's refugee policy is much more lenient than in the US and thus most refugees have been coming to Canada even from the US. The US ones have since been blocked by an agreement signed by both countries.\n5. Are there jobs in Canada? YES, but they require certain skills. The good thing is that once you get one, its the beggining of good fortunes.\n6. If you have skilled qualifications, be prepared to start at a lower level than you are used to and claw your way up. Just don't expect to start where you left off. A Nigerian friend of mine who had performed several surgeries in Nigeria could not be hired until he went back to get certified here in Canada. He has since joined the medical field after going back to school.\n\nAll in all, research, research, research before you make any move.

Life has become very expensive worldwide. Whether in Kenya or in Canada, the cost of living hits you hard. I have lived in the US for the last more than twenty years. When I first came here $50 would be enough to buy food for a whole month. Today $50 cannot buy you food for even a week. A gallon of petrol today is over $5. The same thing is happening in Kenya, I believe. There are a number of problems when you land in Canada as a visitor. One: To covert a visitor's visor to a work permit is a process. Two; where do you want to land in Canada? If you land in Toronto, Ontario, you get stranded because everybody is landing there. People dont want to go to the north. All those pictures you are seeing are in Toronto. Because of the influx of people arriving there, the government has spent the budget for visitors and refugees. Three; the choice of jobs. When somebody promises you a job in Canada and helps to get a visitor's visa, think twice before you leave home. If somebody promises you a job in Canada, let him help you to get a work permit before you leave home. That way you are surered of a job. There are so many things to consider before you leave home.

Agreed. I am a long-time Toronto resident. Rents and housing is sky high. The federal gov't has been pushing money into the economy at an alarming rate, and this now interest rates will be very high for the many number of years, pushing up housing prices and therefore rents. The TTC is unsafe, that is for sure. The Federal gov't has admitted too many refugees without any transition plan, and Toronto has had to pick up the financial slack. The pandemic smacked Toronto with a huge bill, and this was not funded by the province nor the federal gov't. The result is under-funding of Toronto's social and city services, and therefore its degradation. Until Trudeau starts funding his share of the load, until the provincial gov't starts doing the same, further cuts will be required by the City of Toronto gov't for many years to come. There is no possible way that the City of Toronto can support this many social and city programs. Quality must drastically degrade, and it has.

They are simply trying to take everything we already have ,no he and work just power by numbers

When you immigrate, to get any Govt service like a Driving License, School admission, and even a job, you need a social security/insurance number. That number is pegged on your entry visa. If you are a visitor, you have to convince the Govt why they should let you work? If you are a student, it is limited the number of hours you work. Any employer is obligated to employ only those with credentials. If you are coming for work, like Nurses do, employers will have done your paperwork. Green cards are one legal way to immigrate. If you have legal papers, you make your way around without issues. Cost of living varies on location. As for skills, you need them, get them over time. There are good and bad stories, even locals who mess up end up in crap like an illegal immigrant would.

Hey team Lynn this is a good conversation am currently working in Egypt we are so many Kenyans here almost 1000 or 1000+ all of us with different experience good and bad let people follow the instructions you have given on your pinned comment for me number 5 People expect a lot and they end up disappointed personally I relate

Grew up in Weston and did live up in Scarborough for a number of years however even in 1989 I found it to be too much and overcrowded at that time, and so I decided to leave, I left and never came back so much better on the west coast, nice weather, less snow less salt on the roads . Less population lots and lots of wide open spaces. Vancouver come anyone and check us out.

I used to live maybe a block away from where you used to live in Toronto, I moved to a different city around the time that Rob Ford became mayor I can’t remember what year that was. We couldn’t afford to stay in Toronto after our landlord sold our unit and the new owners wanted to live there, so we moved to a more affordable city. I was really shocked at the massive increase in the number of homeless people in the city that weren’t able to find space at a shelter, I had to ask my sister if I had missed news of a reanimated occupy Wall Street movement, because that was the last time that I had seen that overwhelming a volume of displaced people camping in the parks. I hope that some sort of solution can be found to massively increase the quantity of safe warm and free to the occupant shelters in Toronto before winter.

If wasn’t for Toronto we wouldn’t have Trudeau and the dumb NDP, who have propped him and liberals up for the last three years. \nThis is what you get, they ramped up immigration. It’s tripled since 2015 annually. Last year we had record number population growth, over 1 million and 90% of it was immigration. Flooding Toronto and major cities in Canada with immigration, no simulation. Just imagine we have a recessional, how bad it will get. Pushing all this liberal nonsense like legal marijuana, how is a more drugged out society help anything, euthanasia it’s become the fourth cause of death in Canada. No value for actual life but all woke nonsense, flood more and more people into country, cities become crowded and expensive. Quality of life goes down . There’s no social cohesion, there’s nothing that holds a society together when you just like a hotel.\nWhat will happen in a decade when 70% of jobs are gonna be going to AI and automation. What are we gonna do with all these people?.

Meet G7 nation criteria... number of educated immigrant\n\nHypocrisy lie... to international student rake in $8 billion a\n\n tim Horton job .... gas station waiter and truck driver job..\n\nSept 30th why celebration? Because the white killed innocent native Indians kids.... shame \n\n\nA modern day legal slavery ? shame

Rising rental prices are primarily due to huge numbers of immigrants flooding the city. I am not against immigration as I was a migrant myself. But there should be a control of how much should be coming in as there is only a finite number of housing or rental units available. If many are scrambling for a finite resource, chances are prices will go up just like the law of supply and demand.

Number one to comment watching from Japan

Its the unrelenting insane migration of the Indian population in large numbers so much so that the demographics of the country changes .

Blaming Canadian government is not a solution…. There are many Indian students who are excelling in Canada. Students must be smart enough to grab the opportunities. There are endless number of opportunities in Canada. It depends upon the smartness level of the individuals.

I am not racist but just stating a fact during an observation. I live in Coquitlam. a city connected to Vancouver BC by another city Burnaby. I went to my local blood clinic for testing, it was very busy with long wait times of over 6 hours but I thought I would try anyway. As I took my number and was standing against the wall waiting as their were no seats I took note that out of 38 people I was the only caucasian, the other 37 were 100 percent Asian. I could have easily thought I was in a clinic in Beijing. This is my country, born and raised here from many generations of europeans. When I was young there was more diversity of cultural backgrounds but it has changed in that one culture totally dominates . That is not cultural mix it is a takeover by one particular culture. Why is immigration Canada allowing so many of one culture compared to other cultures? As a taxpayer I expect immigration should be well thought out and to not favour one culture over another yet in Vancouver area that is happening.

Lazy people trying to get free hand outs from a country owned by a man who can't remember his credit card number

you may be overestimating how immigration of immigrants makes the city so much better. this policy also brings some negatives in terms of number of poor people, number of people overwhelming the 'free stuff' from govt, forcing a housing shortage which drives up price, give left govt unlimited power to increase taxes on everything..... so forces change, but not always for the better - tho some positives.

worst part is these gangsters and extremist have strong lobbying in canada govt through jagmeet singh party.india govt tired of requesting expedtion requests to canada govt. justin trudeau supporting them for votes. canadians stop voting jagmeet singh party otherwise canada turn into mexico ,pakisthan\nanother worst and sad part is justin trudeau and jagmeet singh ,pannu trying to projecting this like india vs sikhs, sikhs vs hindus its completely false. candians should understand this all sikhs are not khalisthan extremists. and also all sikhs in canada not indian orgin some of them from pakisthan. a very tiny number of sikhs supports khalisthan. now khalisthan terriost getting strong finacial support from pak isi.this also one reason govt taking it very serious

Why canada taking so many refugees who will remain on welfare for rest of life Canada cannot control housing food and other necessities of life now this will be more grave. Canadian govt think about it and stop taking refugees. Rather take SD tudents who becomes useful worker for Canada. And look our roads strreets schools bazars ate not safe every other minute there have been shootings stabbing killing incidents in Toronto thats due to immigrats and refugees who brought guns from USA. For the sake of God dont make Canada Lebanon and Afghanistan and limit the numbers of immigrats and refugees who re bringing in chaos lawlessness in Canada. Only bring lin useful immigrants workers doctor engineering students who will built yhe future rather than refugees who will stay on welfare for rest of life and add further to lawlessness.

Number 33, huh?!?

All on the NIA list have their days numbered !

I'm sorry but I really hope border patrol has enough ammo. We have an unknown Number of Unknown aliens from unknown countries that are physically storming our Borders it is without regard to proper immigration.\nDon't you think it's time to push back?\n\nFinish the wall\nSecure our borders \nQuit trying to save the world \nThey have shown they don't appreciate it, they expect it.\n Work to end the evils at home and then maybe we can help the world.

The number 33 is favoured by certain groups. That might be a clue.

Greetings from cameroon please can you give me your WhatsApp number

Stop immigration that’s the number 1 cause of these issues you discussed here.

I have a suggestion for Khalisthanis . Canada is anyway Khali Sthan( meaning Mostly uninhabitable land in Hindi ) . Keep increasing your numbers and self centered Canadian politicians like Trudeau will be lured into harboring you terrorists for votes until you take over the country and rename it to Khalisthan. How does that sound ? ??

Chorkor Millionaire, you are really a good educator. You are saying nothing but the truth. I need your WhatsApp number so we can talk. I am interested in relocating to Canada on a tourist visa.

Ghus ke maare ge bc agla number Pannu ka?

If you are insinuating that India had something to do with this man's murder, that too so soon after Trudeau's explosive allegations, its laughable and deserves to be treated with the strongest contempt. Canada is now rivalling even Pakistan with the number of terrorists being given refuge and eventually, Canadian citizenship! Way to go, Canada!!

Keep going Trudeau. We need to be number one at something. Keep at it and we can have the title for safe haven for terrorists. Plus Pakistan just gives them a place to hide, we feed them. My grandfather came to this country because of our Christian values 100 years ago. Today he weeps in heaven.

No 33 is the lucky number, he won the lottery!

They are lucky it is not another country,, They would be getting just due Invading a border in mass numbers.

Bye bye ?\nHow's number next?

Lawrence Bishnoi gang has already claimed responsibility. It’s insane to consider the number of gangs operating in Canada involved in terrorism, drug n human trafficking n organised crime! Seems like a Joke when these Canadian Leaders rant about Rule of law! Is there any?? ???

??? number 33

Simple economics should dictate that if rents are so high that the majority can't afford them, they should drop. The peoblem is, there are a small number of people who are more than capable of meeting the high cost of rent and of real estate generally. This is indicative of how much economic inequality has grown in Canada, as it has throughout the English speaking world.

Seems like the number of homeless Canadian are catching up on the homeless American.

And thats a big part of the problem... refugees and too many immigrants...The government needs to reduce the number of people coming into the country until housing catches up

Well said. I'm an immigrant but I oppose to current huge number of immigrants. Labor market cannot be solved only by increase the number of immigrants. We increased immigrants number by 500k, but the labor market getting worse.

Bro chorkor please I need your number

Boss please is dis your account number. Some one on message said I should pay 91,888 into dis account to book one and one section with u

Bro people are leaving Canada in huge numbers, reason, no jobs, expensive, no housing ???

Blind bias ? The numbers show that from the 2000–01 to 2020–21 school years, there were 11 to 93 annual shootings with injuries or deaths at public and private elementary and secondary schools.

Dear Malaika,\nAssalam O Alaikum,\n.\nGood To See Your Vlog For First Time. Kindly Apni Vlogs Mein Ye Tu Bata Diya Karain, Keh Aap Ontario Ke Kis City Mein Ho. Yes, For Safety Do Not Mention Your House Number Or Street & Particular Location, But Atleast City Ka Tu Bataya Ja Sakta Hai Na, Like Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Oakville, Milton, North York Or Mississauga....Etc.

Within that mass of people there are a large number of heartless criminals and unpleasant people who do not want to work, when they arrive they even know how to ask for social benefits, not all of them are families in search of a better life.

Hey folks remember this tactic was used along with mass invasion and immigration itself by the European hordes who not only used biological warfare, uneven warfare and constant invasion of more and more numbers just so they could squat and steal the homelands of the indigenous ethnic American people, The peasants were non-Land owners in Englamd where they couldn't own any land because they were peasants, not nobles or the gentry. The illegal hordes from Europe got welfare once they got to America.

Peter might be right in some aspect. However, if he believe at any point the system is working against his plans for life, he should come back to Nigeria. He mentioned the number of cars and who he was in Nigeria, but still decided to migrate. Some people here are typing that he is on point. Oga you are not on point. Your points are pointless. You think it is Nigeria that people don’t take their job serious. \nThe funny part of the video is when he compared salaries ??, na frustration wan kill Peter for Canada ??\nHe thinks he will be accorded the same recognition he had in Nigeria. Stop discouraging people, allow people to sell their things as you did and migrate because of their children as you did.

The 7% rule is good. You don’t want your country to be overrun by another. Could be a different number but should be regulated nevertheless.

Honestly the only thing i see needing to change is the weird country divide thing. We dont want to overflow our nation with immigrants as that would directly relate to higher housing costs (more people dividing the same number of houses makes costs go up) and it may not be 100% directly related but Canada's unemployment rate is about 150% higher than that of the US which could be due to the immigration, more research would need to be done. Lastly we have a big issue of illegal immigration and we need to get that under tighter control before we become top focused on fixing the other end. If you have a boat with a leak in it you should be more concerned with fixing the leak than if you have enough supplies for your trip.
