To be honest we know who goes to Canada from India. It’s Punjabis. And you trying to call Punjabis skilled labour is the biggest joke of this century. Skilled Indians from elsewhere in India do not care about these changes because these changes will only affect Punjabis and nobody else from India

Student visa’s always been easier way to get in to any country, and yes, easier to get in Canada than any other country. Go home and apply for permanent residency like others do so through proper steps! No more student visa as the back door to get in this country. If universities can’t run their schools without fees from international students, they should shut it down. Canadian universities are a joke with poor quality programs and faculty members. They need a complete overhaul.

Since 2015, Canada has become the subject of jokes for many. This is largely attributed to the questionable policies of the Justin Trudeau government. By recklessly permitting a large influx of fraudulent immigrants from corrupt countries, the JT government has weakened a once peaceful, prosperous, safe, and decent nation. The actions and policies of the Trudeau government significantly affect Canadians, Americans, and the future....

The housing shortage is a common thread to the economic/ housing crisis! But why aren’t they building rental units??? Simple, would you build a plane if your passengers simply boarded the plane and refused to pay?? if that were to happen the offending passengers would be de-planed and arrested! \nBut when it comes to renters, they can move in, stop paying rent and it can take 6-12 months to legally evict them. As a former contractor I have been witness to landlords offering cash to tenants and squatters to leave their properties which have always been left trashed and badly damaged! The laws that protect these criminals are a joke and predatory tenants know it! I had a client who rented her condo to a lawyer and after a couple months the tenant stopped paying. She filed for a writ of possesion and waited months for the hearing. She brought all the documentation and the tenant showed up claiming they had cancer ( no documentation, letter from doctors Nothing!) The writ of possession was denied for compassionate reasons! The landlord had a mortgage and was paying the condo maintenance fees, the tribunal didn’t care! \nThey set it aside for six months. In the end cash was offered and the tenant left! After the massive clean up and damage was repaired it was put on the market! This is how far left Canada has gone! There’s simply no way forward!

Canadian immigration system is a joke and now that they allowed about 5 million people with temporary visas without any kind of job opportunities people are forced take steps to secure their future. Majority of Indians arrived in Canada with plans to move to USA as the rumours were that Kamala would get elected and would grant path to citizenship for all illegals.

Came in as a Student, then suddenly applied for asylum? ? Canada must not even waste a single resource to those FAKE STUDENTS applying for asylum. What a joke!

Deport them already have so many illegal here in Canada . Canadians are struggling to met up the end needs politicians are jokes in Canada

Canada is a joke, they should deport like 500,000. Wtf they taking all the jobs and the economy is suffering as well. Send them back

A joke circulating in the world: what borders on stupidity? Mexico and Canada.

I come from Punjab/Haryana and the fake travel agents thrive. Fake documents issued by corrupt insiders issue these documents for money for the so called 'students' - the aim being finding work and trying for a PR in Canada. Gujeratis and Punjabis are the biggest culprits. Justin's government is a joke! He is no PM.\nSend the whole lot home! Back to India.

Getting a student visa for Canada is a joke. Applicants can have several refused applications and still be successful on their 4th or 5th try

What a joke. As if. Keep dreaming Canada.

Canada is a joke. Stop the regular immigration then tell the illegals no room.

It's literally so freaking horrible and torturous to live in Canada now, thanks to our government, that even our immigrants are fleeing over the border. Seriously, this is not a joking matter.

Canada is a complete joke. Most unaffordable place on earth. If you are a weak woke liberal that wants to be taken care of this is the place for you. If you want to work hard start your own business to be successful, good luck. Trudeau’s dictatorship has destroyed us, no freedoms of speech, criminals get released immediately, immigration is out of control. And immigrants have more rights than tax paying citizens. Also drug addicted lunatics roam the streets and cause havoc with our open drug using policies and criminal catch and release systems. Oh yea, and our medical system is a complete joke, takes hours to get an ambulance and even longer wait times in hospitals. Oh yes we also allow open drug use in hospitals…. It’s a complete joke.

I am guessing 5 million Indians will march towards Canada and it is safe to presume that Immigration India formerly known as Immigration Canada is gearing up to accept all these as permanent residents namely the ones with diapers over their heads and I presume Transit companies, municipalities, hospitals, schools, banks, etc.. across Canada are gearing up to hire them right on the spot. Thanks to the Liberals, Canada is now run by the Prime Minister Of India. Happy new India for the illegal Indians. Canadians are complaining about shortage of housing, jobs etc...well that would be the least of your worries because there will soon be shortage of food, diapers, gas, cars and a lot more. If Canada is blessed the Conservatives win a whopping majority to clean all this Indian mess. The solution to these illegal immigrants is super easy and will not cost the government a penny. All the government has to do is give these pricks a 3 months grace period after which anyone overstays gets added to a Black list which means no permanent residency even if they spend the rest of their lives here and any child born to these pricks does not qualify for automatic citizenship plus fines for every day of overstaying with no maximum limit and denial of acceptance even if they leave at a later time and apply from overseas including family reunions. Conservatives will assemble a legal committee to revoke the status of anyone who switched from visitor, fake student etc... to permanent resident and order them deported. Trump is not joking and he will kick out millions in just 1 year because he has robust means and eager sheriffs to round them like chicken and ship them out.

Not just canada new zealand aswell indians are being racist towards maori being locked up yet our country was taken over by the english and maori was treated unfair then you lot come here making jokes .next one I see I having a fight I'm 24 fit to go .

CANADA IS NOW INDIAN COUNTRY AND CHINESE BUYING EVERYTHING......WHAT A JOKE

Canada needs skilled immigrants because Canada failed to create a real education system. Even the schools we have are a joke, no one fails, no one gets disciplined, criminal behavior is tolerated and allowed.

This protest is a joke! They know what they signed up for before coming to Canada. So,  they should work within the rules and find a way to legally settle (if they can) or leave. \n\n\nHowever, Canadians deserve to know more about this mess which is an outcome of aggressive marketing by Private colleges and the government's greed to get quick cash into the Canadian economy. Here are some clarifications to note:\n\n\n1. In the last six years, 1.5 million international students brought a minimum of $67,500,000,000 direct cash into the Canadian economy. (Assuming a min $40-45000 per student for 2 year diploma, between to $100,000 - 150,000 for undergrad, and around $50,000 for Masters degrees). Usually, international students have to pay most of this money before applying for the study visa. \n\n\n2. These colleges employ Canadians for their day to day operations. From cleaning, maintainance, administration to teaching, each college operates with approx 20-30million budget. So, more students lead to more employment for Canadians who further pay taxes.\n\n\n3. All students start work straightaway, pay taxes, and do not qualify for social security. They do not qualify for any student loans by Canadian govt or banks. So, they generate revenue for Canada through their work and taxes. The thing that govt LOVES.\n\n\n4. These students become new consumers and their expenditure generate revenues for local businesses.\n\n\n5. Most Colleges would not survive without international students. Which is good in the sense that only quality colleges will survive and other hanky panky colleges would shut down. However, such closures will lead to job losses, bankruptcy when the colleges won't be able to afford their expenses.\n\n\nSo, considering these factors it will be an industry collapse. Govt needs to control immigration. They need to introduce intelligent policies. The steps that current govt is currently taking are politically motivated not rational.

It's Not enough and this was Not Fair! We came here in this country and vetted for 6 years by Immigration and all proper education requirements met. My mom worked so hard to be able to come into this Country when I was 14yrs old, there were Rules and Criteria. Now, it's all a Joke. People can come into Canada without proper oversight and Money works. As long as you have huge sums to pay, they let you in, easily, 3months you get Permanent Resident status, we worked hard for 6 years, even doesn't matter if you're a criminal from back home, they let you in, as long as you have money. No proper Vetting process! What has this Current government done to this once great country? They ruined this whole Canadian immigration dream for everyone. My family feels angry and cheated on! I worked 3 jobs since I came here young upto this day 26 years later, pay my taxes and these 'cheaters' get paid social assistance. Very Shameful Canada!

You guys all make your jokes but in 20 years when you’re living in India and not Canada you’ll look back and be like wow I know why that old lady was upset now .

Everywhere you look there’s Indians they’ve completely taken over Canada. It’s an absolute joke.

A reduction from 500K immigrants to 300K immigrants is a JOKE. Are you kidding me?\n\nTrudeau made NO “mistake” by opening the flood gates to gangs and terrorists and leeches from other countries…. And now because he KNOWS he can’t ignore the facts any longer and the election around the corner, he PRETENDS to help Canada. He’s a joke.

Lol liberals need votes huh? Don't just cut it, butcher it and throw this mass immigration in the trash and let's get organic wholesome numbers that we can place all over Canada over time instead of this mass pool of people in our major city's, this is such a joke, immigration can be done correctly look at the UAE or Saudi Arabia, huge swaths of there population are foreign born and they handle this so well, crime is non existent in these nations, maybe its religious values/rules????? Something Canada lacks forsure, Canadian people lack gumption.

They increased 500% and decreased 20% what a joke… stop it already 12 millions people came to Canada since liberal NDP Trudeau Jagmet

I am a taxpayer for the last 15 years and it is a joke that I need a Lottery system to sponsor my parents to Canada that my pop spending his hard work money for my university tuition. They offer a Stream A and B to people to get a permanent visa from Hong Kong without contribute to this country. Fairness?????

trudeau is only PM for a few months longer\ndon't give him any more air time\nhe's been such a joke and has reduced Canada's standing and Canadians' standard of living

Joke that BBC can ever report on anything logically.. anyway countries like UK and Canada with inferior economies to India shouldn't matter..Trudeau is desperate to stay in power, pathetic !

Canada is a joke under Justin Trudeau (or any Trudeau for that matter)

India thought it could teach Canada, a first world democratic country what to do, when half its population doesnt even have toilets. What a joke

I have nothing against them but a lot of them come into Canada to study and then don’t study and try to get permanent residency. It’s gotten so bad that we can’t even find jobs in where I live. The immigration policy is all a joke. We’re brining all these people in and there are no new jobs created.

I am a born and raised Canadian and have seen my country go downhill for at least the last couple of decades.\nHealth Care: doctors and nurses are moving Stateside in droves. No, the US doesn’t have universal health care but there are insurance plans and the care is enormously better. My girlfriend had 4th stage throat cancer. In Calgary the doctors at some point told her there was nothing more they could do for her and to get her affairs in order. Her father sent her to the Anderson Clinic in Houston - yes it was expensive but they treated her, saved her life and that was 24 years ago. \nIt’s common in our emergency rooms to wait up to 12 hours to be seen. \nOur system isn’t progressive and doctors and nurses don’t get paid near as well as in the States. That being said, I am happy that I don’t have to pay to see the doctor or have a stay in the hospital. \nCost of Living: Once upon a time it was good - housing was cheap and many companies had the full range of benefits and salaries were equal to the cost of living. Now these same companies have stripped the benefits by hiring people under contract so they don’t have to give them benefits. \nRents are through the roof and in Calgary there are no rent caps. Buying a decent house in a decent neighbourhood is impossible unless you inherit or make a six figure income. This, in no small part, has created a homelessness crisis that never had been seen in such numbers before. Crime also is getting worse by the day. Canada was once known as a safe country. This is no longer the case.\nEverything is very expensive and the tax very high. Plus, we have to suffer winter! Where I live, the joke is that we have two seasons - July and winter!\nI still like my city (not love) but I am retired and own two houses - one inherited and the other bought when it was affordable (32 years ago). Calgary would not be a place I would live if I was a newcomer. Vancouver is beautiful but you really pay for it. \nTrudeau has helped make a big mess of things with immigration and lax criminal laws. My beef is not with immigrants I must state - it is with the lack of jobs for them when they come, thereby forcing bad living conditions and an over reliance on the social systems. I add that the immigration population is much more willing to work in jobs they have to take (despite a high education) than our natural and bloated citizens.\nSo yes, Canada has increasingly gone downhill. On a positive note, hand guns at least are not legal and our country has beautiful natural land.

I wish i can see the dislikes. A message from our lovely Liberal friends. What do u want me or anyone to do? Cry? Feel bad? A country of scammers GOT SCAMMED. Hurts doesn't it. I've worked with minimum 1000 to 10000 different indians in jobs and only 2 actually worked their asses off and bkth were citizens with families and have been in canada for a while. Imo if you came here during Trudeaus time. You can never complain about this nation. He's the reason you are here and the reason the economy is the way it is. He's your leader not for Canada but india. It's 2024 we don't live in the stone ages anymore. Don't believe everything you hear. Do some research on a nation across the world you having planning to invade, i mean 'study' how's it canadas gault when INDIANS were lying too them to begin with and imagine being so arrogant to protest about staying in a nation you are not from nor citizen. But sure I'll cry about it tonight. Was this bought by Trudy? Joke of a video. Just needed something to laugh and enjoy to. ???

Liberal Canada is a joke.

Canada's passport as of now is respected world wide. As Canadians we dont need visa to enter the US or visiting Europe. Trudeau is destroying what every canadian has till now taken for granted. Because of his incompetence our allies will stop respecting us and treat us like third world. Its already the case with AUKUS. we should get rid of this liberal govt asap. Even the newly designed passport is a joke. Another thing that should have better been kept untouched by this excessively incompetent govt.

Students should not be able to seek asylum. They're not in any danger.\n\nIt's a joke. A scam. Canada is impossible to live in due to the failure of our despicable govt.

Indians seeking asylum in Canada/USA? For being persecuted in India? What a joke. Canada should tightened its visa policy, especially student visas.

Is canada a joke ? Your idot pm is wasting your country's potential, choose wisely next time

Canada has become India's ;province. That's not a joke.

Students? That is the biggest joke in india. People laugh about the USA and how easy it is to get here. Us has become a laughing stock there. Almost every kid in Punjab, India, says they will get into Canada as a so-called student because it is easy to get a work visa. Nobody is really a student. Americans and Canadians are so out of touch with the real situation & thanks to the Democrats it is an open border.
