Canadians born here are last now. And gaslit and shamed into thinking otherwise is racist. Our kind culture has been seen as weakness and is now being proven as weakness. They are gaslighting us using our own values to squeeze our culture, way of life, and future of having a fair shot at a normal and fruitful life that was once an option for our parents. The bias and religious ideals of these countries don’t need to be addressed in Canada as the media only sees the white man as rich and exploitative. I’m so ashamed of my country and scared for my future in my own home as I am now a minority in toronto

Thank you for addressing

These are just a few examples from many observations. I’ve noticed that some individuals from India may struggle to adapt to certain social norms when abroad. For instance, in quiet train compartments, they might speak loudly on their phones, disturbing others who are reading or seeking relaxation. Similarly, when renting accommodations, cleanliness is sometimes overlooked, leading to issues like attracting pests. To address such behaviors, it might be helpful for the Indian government to introduce programs that educate individuals on cultural etiquette and the importance of cleanliness before they move to countries in Europe or America. Please be more civilised ?

Look the answer is simple, someone from Burkina Faso will not compete with an average European for his/her job. Indians will for sure. Instead of lobbying for better Visa equity, why not strive to make India more livable? We need to address that issue, that is the elephant in the room.

Noo They actually see if it's from North India and Rejection Is High ...\n\nThey'll see The Address if it says Tamilnadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Andra , Telangana, Kerala They won't Directly Get rejected \n\nFew years later once North Indians figures out They'll Upgrade by Asking us to Speak in Tamil , kanada , Telegue , Malayalam \n\nFew years later once North Indian Figures this Out It's goona be hard for entire India to get visa\n\n\nAll Thanks to North Indians

Due to the increase in illegal immigration from India, particularly from Punjab, this is the primary reason, which is not addressed in the video.

You people are getting worried for rejection of visa.\nI still couldn't find why my Aadhar card address change is getting rejected for the past 3 months.

You need to explore the fraudulent ones too and not just blame other country's visa process which is the same for people from non-indian origins. The actual issue is much more complex. More foreign workers can destabilize and harm their own people's opportunities as well. May be we should explore why indians are trying to leave india so badly and address those problems first.

Please fact check your video. Atleast in EU shengen irregular immigration from Indian subcontinent is a social hot potato. Refer Portugal for example- theres an entire parliamentary debate this week on addressing the social havoc irregular subcontinental immigration has caused. The scenario can be true for most Mediterranean southern European countries. Ground reality is most of West is not dependent on India for skilled immigration. Infact most that comes through is low skilled labour. Skilled STE(A)M immigration is a not a high percentage. Until India changes this, the passport strength will not improve.

respect should not be demanded, it should be earned, india should grow itself then world will welcome us , dunki process, misbehaving , cringe behavior on foreign land , if these issues are addressed then we can expect some improvement

Hi diamond nation. Am from Nigeria. Have not get to Canada before. Please how would I get address and phone number to my resume? Please Help me out

It is not just the number of students, it is the quality of the students. Majority of these students are not top notch or the ones who will integrate well into society. Most of the schools accepting students in Canada and Australia are businesses run by former immigrants to these countries, who saw the business opportunity of charging people to give them admissions to low quality un-ecreditted schools, which they run themselves. Then in the midde of the school years they will push students to apply for immigration or refugee status. Everyone knows what the scam is but the governments are not addressing it. I am pro immigration but the systems have changed (broken) from what they used to be 20/30 years ago.

Canada is a federation - in many areas, the provinces have exclusive power. It is a mistake to think that the Federal government has authority over the provinces, and to address your example, tell Quebec how to treat those who wear religious garb.

This is an excellent video, and you are clearly a very respectful and decent person. Thank you for posting it. I only hope you will keep my comment posted here once I write it. I've written similar comments elsewhere that were automatically deleted by the person who posted the video, and I found that disheartening. I first want to address the rumour about human feces and dirty diapers being found on Canadian beaches, and I want to stand up for the people who called out Indians for doing this. Somebody saw something. Maybe they weren't able to produce any legal proof of it, but they clearly saw something, and there is nothing racist about them calling out this behaviour. This practice is not only unhygienic. It is ILLEGAL in Canada; so, it absolutely should be called out publicly to prevent it from ever happening again. I have seen many videos about the culture of mass open defection in India. The videos I saw were posted by Indians themselves. One of those videos was a TEDx talk done by a woman named Sangita Vyas who discussed the truth about open defecation and that it is not limited to only the poor population. Even people who can afford to build latrines are not using them, and she explains why after interviewing Indians to ask why. I've watched Indian doctors talk online about how many Indian children die from something as simple as diarrhea every year as a direct result of the water contamination caused by open defecation. So, clearly, open defecation is legal in India, and perhaps some of these people think if it's legal at home then it must also be legal elsewhere. WRONG. It's illegal in Canada. It's unhygienic. It should never happen. Period. And there is NOTHING racist about a Canadian saying this out loud and reminding people that they must follow the rules and laws of the country they are in.

It's a cosmetic change. It doesn't address 2.8 million already in the country

The responsibility is solely with the applicant and not consultant. Period. Whilst I’m a proponent of immigration, applicants should also be more diverse and not from only one particular country. Hopefully more changes are introduced to address this.

There is so much misunderstanding about the immigration: people believe we take too many immigrants, while in fact we need to maintain this level of immigrants per year for several years to address the labor shortage in the coming years as baby boomers are retiring...\n\nPeople believe that immigrants cause property values to rise and it is Trudeau's fault. Well, Australia has high sky property values, is very similar to Canada but doesn't have Trudeau. Yet the property values are sky high.\n\nSame is for Healthcare: compare UK or France. These countries don't have Trudeau but their Healthcare has deteriorated since COVID.

I went through this twice during COVID. Two tenants stopped paying one after the other and lost over 50k. Sadly, the only option is to take her to small claims court but in order to do that you need an eviction order and sheriff documents. Even if he does get to that point, they can o lay garnish her wages and at that point, she can avoid paying and jump from place to place changing addresses info and job details. Professional renters know the system and they work it to screw the landlords. One tenant I had actually believed that if they rent the house they “own the home”. Even if you call the police they won’t do anything. If the government just allowed the police to arrest and charge these people I think it would help but they don’t. It’s horrible. I’m actually thinking of selling my home because of the financial burden it’s been post COVID. I have good tenants now but only after using most of the equity to pay off the damage and missed rent from the last 3 tenants….

Americans need to focus solving their problems and mind their own business. \n\nTry working on your gun crimes and school shooting problem.\nTry fixing your homelessness problems.\nTry addressing the mass murder by health insurance companies.\nTry fixing your subpar education system.

This shit is unacceptable, why are they afaid to stay in their home countries. ADDRESS the problem and cut the news B.S.

canadians do not want usa traffic either. i do understand what tom homan is saying, but they have no business telling canadians what to do. did not realize that there was actually 2 way illegal traffic both ways. i need to see the stats. on that, since the s. border is being looked after already by mexico. cooperation is one thing...bullying is quite another. i do believe that canada has terrorists & both borders need to be addressed. canadians do NOT want americans crossing illegal borders. thanyou mr. homan for being decent about this.

White population is declining all over the world. If the trend continues. And western government doesn't control mass immigration and address low birth rates of natives. There won't be any place left to go.

Even with the guns like. We have guns here. We just don’t think it’s better to have barely any regulation control or laws about attaining them owning them and what is appropriate use of them versus not. To watch Americans defend their right to bear arms as a reason to entirely ignore the amount of gun violence , combined with insane laws that literally enable or encourage said violence , from people who are not in anyway necessarily trained to asses or handle as safely as possible , urgent situations. To have any children or schools shot up not immediately cause a national need to solve the problem but jsut have it ongoing and not much change to address the issues of innexsssary gun violence to not just Canadians but a lot of the world , looks entirely insane and white honestly idiotic lol I’m just being real. \n\nTo spend the amount yall do on military to feel safe , but have such unsafe conditions in the general public is crazy to a lot of us. Outside America. Yall are a danger to yourselves and okay with that? Lol same thing with food and nutirion and fda things that are acceptable and legal but banned everywhere else ?like. You guys do realize ur safety is not only about who owns the most guns you will be less safe if ur health is poor, bec of insane things being legal to be sold and eaten , healthcare is not easily accessible , and the gun violence of ur own is always a possibility like. How does that feel safe ? \n\nI have a friend who went to school on scholarship and now works married and lives there and she hates it and feels terrified all the time. Her own husband is American and owns a gun but she hates it hates guns now. And is exhausted and has anxiety issues as a result of a lot of the culturally and legally normal gun ownership and attitudes there. A lot of Canadians would feel the exact same way. And to WANT your country to be run and managed that way screaming it at the top of ur lungs is. Bonkers bat shit crazy to many of the rest of us. Ur not the only country where it’s legal to own guns and have them, but yet we’re not hearing about school\nShootings as a problem that just never gets solved and everyone who lives there sort of shrugs about ? lol it’s. Odd. To. Us.

they made it harder for me to get my driver lic and get mail from my previous old address and me not able to sue people at the other state. Good. What comes around goes around.

If canada would have addressed the problems India and US had.India will not take this step and US not have 25%

The high costs of wifi have been directly connected towards the failure in accessing education in rural aboriginal communities especially in the Arctic and can be directly connected to the federal govt’s failure to address the issue. Therefore JT is failing the aboriginal community, where is our safe drinking water.

If you are an illegal and have a baby then you have to take your baby with you.\n1. You enter the country illegally, so the only right you have is to be detained and deported.\n2. Oh you had a baby ? How cute ! The baby go out with you.\nEnough of delaying excuses to address what it is obvious, if you are Illegal you GO OUT of our Country in a Expedited fashion.

Once upon a time, a former slave made a case to the Supreme Court, and they said he wasn't American. So, the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was passed to address that issue. \n\nThe Wong Kim Ark case, which went to the Supreme Court, was a different issue, as his parents were legal residents. \n\nHowever, the issue of children born to illegal immigrants was truly left unsettled by the Supreme Court.

4:27 - This is incorrect. Indian immigrants of the past 3 years have shown clear signs that they have NO INTENTION of integrating and assimilating into Canadian culture and values whatsoever. Even Indians who arrived here thirty years ago address this noticeable fact. Sh*ting on public beaches, obnoxious public behaviour, and street brawls between Khalistanis and Hindus in Brampton, to name a few, is not cultural enrichment. An Indian can come here, head straight to Brampton and not once have to socially engage with anyone not of Indian origin for the entire time in Canada. Many don't even speak fluent English. It's created a parallel insular culture that creates a complete social mess of disconnected soullessness that's become of Canadian cities.

Do not go to Canada. Come to Finland. No nonsense. Housing, if you want a house it costs madly, if you want a fine address Housing is available with reasonable costs.\n, if you do not want a fine address.

This video doesn't even address the family reunification program where we have seen so many people over the age of 50 come over - not to contribute to our society but they get to use our social programs. This has to change

Canada is building a tonne of housing as is, a bit less than in the past, so yes, issues with the growth of red tape, zoning, development taxes, etc should be addressed, but the problem has mainly been that the population has been growing at an exponential rate, in the past decade. The construction workforce actually doesn't have that many immigrants - around 77% are Canadian born, compared to 73% of the overall workforce, and I suspect the 23% that are immigrants are probably mostly immigrants that have been here a while, with very few temporary workers (which are mostly in retail/commercial services, elder care, and agriculture). That means immigration has been a bigger problem for increasing housing demand, compared to any benefit to increasing the supply through increasing construction workforce, especially when you consider that the size of the construction workforce is proportional to the total population, while the housing demand is more correlated to population growth. \n\nThere is also the differentiation between expanding infrastructure/housing supply, vs improving/maintaining it. It would not be a bad thing if we were able to shift some of the construction workforce towards improving our stormwater infrastructure, fixing roads, and building transit alternatives (improves quality of life), rather than just building more and more new roads and homes just to keep up with population growth (maintains quality of life).

Since he knew the customer was recording while abusing him he should have just said out loud the customer name and address like, Hi order no. X stall no. Y, pizza for Mr. abuser at Abusing street ?

I appreciate the effort these two women are making to educate Canadians about their own country, but! I can see that their focus is strictly the Gen Z crowd, who really need educating, but not by a couple of foreigners who are just trying to make a living. Good for them. I admire your tenacity. But, ladies there are 10 provinces and 3 territories in Canada. Here's something you may not know...Canada is the second largest nation in land mass only after Russia...FYI!\nNow if you had lived in Canada for over 70 years; as some of us have; you would come to have realized that there is NO central Canadian culture. There are 13 different cultures and societies associated through a federation with a central government in Ottawa. Every province is unique in its politics, social programs, even cultural events. Not every province and territory celebrates the same holidays, memorials or statutory holidays.\nPeople in Newfoundland are as different from the rest of Canada as the Scots and Irish are in their homelands. Alberta has cowboys, BC has sailors, Saskatchewan has wheat and Manitoba has the Guess Who and mosquitos. Ontario is just arrogant, Quebec is just Quebec. There is NOTHING Canadian about Quebec. If they had it their way they would have been independent since the 1750s. They don't even like to speak English. They do it out of obligation to the federation. \nThe Maritimes are again, unique unto themselves. They could easily be an independent nation and then their true culture would shine. Why they practically speak a different language. They have been here longer than any of us and are in fact the most unique culture in all of Canada with the exception of one very important factor:\nThe First Nations of Canada. Their culture is as different from 'European' as Indian is from Chinese or Russian and Korean. \nAnd they have been here for thousands of years. Are. you addressing them as well in your broad stroke analysis of my great country?\nYou need to get to know this country from those who have been here long enough to educate YOU.\nWith all due respect I think you over reached your grasp of the situation. You can't learn about a nation just by travelling around and talking to people. You have to live here...for a long time. Good luck and effort though.

Our Universities are heavily subsidized and Nurses and Doctors take advantage of this, If Trudeau/Pierre wants to stop our doctors and nurses who graduate going to the USA right after school, They should make them pay back the portion of their education that the taxpayers paid for and never received any healthcare from, It should be you have to work in Canada after graduating for 5 years before moving out of Canada, and if they do, then they pay around $150,000 to break the contract compounded with interest from when they started and finished university/college. I know someone who graduated Nursing in the 1990's, She went to a convention in Toronto, Where she was quickly swayed to move the USA, Its because Nursing here is a 3yr course in the USA its a 6 month course, they aren't educated nearly as much as Canadians, A Canadian nurse can be a GP in rural areas of the USA, Also the Nurse I know within a year was made head nurse of her ward, Bypassing USA Nurses that have been working at the hospital for 10+ years, due to the extra education, This is a big problem, we are educating Nurses and Doctors for the USA and other Nations funded by Taxpayers, Sure Nurses and Doctors do also pay some, but its closer to 1/3 of the actual cost, the other 2/3rd's is taxpayer funded. She's still working in the USA and still never helped 1 single Canadian. 30yrs later!!. I don't know about you, But I think this needs to be addressed and fixed once and for all.

Main Insights and Conclusions from the Video\n\nEconomic Challenges and Public Sentiment:\n\nInflation and housing costs have risen sharply, impacting Canadians' quality of life.\nFood bank usage has doubled, and homeownership rates have declined significantly.\nYounger Canadians find homeownership increasingly unattainable, fueling frustration.\nPublic sentiment has turned against immigration for the first time in decades, with over 60% of Canadians believing the country is taking in too many immigrants.\n\nImmigration Policies and Impacts:\n\nCanada experienced record immigration levels in recent years, with 471,000 permanent residents admitted in 2023 and a population growth of 1 million annually due to other immigration streams (e.g., international students and temporary workers).\nImmigration was used as a tool to address labor shortages and generate economic stimulus post-pandemic, but it led to unforeseen consequences like overburdened infrastructure, rising housing costs, and strain on public services.\nConcerns about integration and cultural tensions arose due to the rapid pace and scale of immigration.\n\nEconomic Consequences:\n\nDespite immigration filling labor gaps, Canada’s productivity declined for the third consecutive year, revealing deeper systemic issues like underinvestment in technology, outdated infrastructure, and stagnant wages.\nPublic services, such as healthcare, struggled to meet the increased demand, leading to longer wait times and staff burnout.\n\nImmigration Reforms in 2024\n\nThe federal government introduced significant reforms:\n\nA 20% reduction in permanent resident admissions over three years.\nCaps on temporary foreign workers and international student permits.\nPost-graduate work permit (PGWP) eligibility tied to labor market needs and stricter language requirements.\nWage caps for low-wage temporary foreign workers and adjustments to immigration programs at the provincial level.\nThese measures aim to manage population growth, alleviate pressure on housing and public services, and improve the quality of immigrants to align with labor market needs.\n\nCritiques and Trade-offs:\n\nWhile the reforms may ease strain on infrastructure and align with public sentiment, critics argue they could exacerbate labor shortages in critical sectors like healthcare, construction, and agriculture.\nThe underlying economic issues, such as low productivity, outdated zoning laws, and inadequate infrastructure, remain unaddressed.\nReducing immigration without broader systemic reforms may hinder economic growth in the long term.\n\nSocial Dynamics and Public Trust:\n\nThe reforms are seen as an attempt to rebuild public trust in the government amid declining approval ratings.\nCritics worry these policies are politically motivated rather than aimed at long-term solutions.\nRising public dissatisfaction stems from perceptions of unequal treatment between immigrants and native Canadians, along with growing social tensions.\n\nRecommendations for Future Actions:\n\nExperts suggest combining immigration reforms with investments in infrastructure, technology, and workforce training to tackle deeper systemic challenges.\nEncouraging regional immigration could alleviate urban overcrowding but requires sufficient infrastructure and resources to support newcomers in less-populated areas.\nEnhancing the quality of immigrants through stricter selection criteria and promoting cultural integration can address public concerns while maintaining economic benefits.\n\nFinal Reflections:\n\nOver-reliance on immigration as an economic solution has led to complacency and structural weaknesses.\nWhile immigration is vital for growth, it should be part of a balanced approach that includes investments in innovation and productivity improvements.\nCanada needs to rethink its strategies to remain competitive and sustainable in the long term while addressing public concerns and fostering integration.\nThe video's overarching message highlights the complexities of immigration and economic policy, emphasizing that piecemeal solutions, like reducing immigration, are insufficient without addressing broader systemic issues.

Well done ❤ I totally agree with all things that you guys explained in this video, moreover is the way we think as a Canadians and is something that has to be addressed. Thank you for expressing what we are thinking about this mess created by this liberal government. Even though I was a liberal myself.

Thank you for summarizing these key changes! Many problems are actually the Canadian immigration system not learning from the mistakes of the US system and now it’s suffering the same consequences. If Canada cuts down on those selected immigrations but still takes in refugees, it’s only going to make anti-immigrant sentiment worse. Selected immigrants are allowed into Canada to help alleviate Canadian issues…or at least people who come through Express Entry are less likely to become a burden. On the other hand, refugees, given their unfortunate circumstances, really need to rely on a lot of social services and resources to help them resettle. The US has eliminated pretty much all non-humanitarian immigration that’s why immigrants are so demonized there. Americans only feel the drags of refugees and asylum seekers (even though ethically we need to protect them) and there is no selected immigration to balance that out. Yet this round of Canadian policy change is heading exactly that direction.\n\nIt used to be international students in Canada are not paying a lot more tuition than Canadian students. But Canadian universities saw how much money universities in the US are making so they asked the federal government to change the policy to enable them to charge international students several times the regular tuition (whereas in countries like France, international students actually pay less than citizens). So now Canadian universities rely too much on international students to operate and it becomes an exploitative relationship even before students step foot on the campus. The new PGWP eligibility is awful because students can make contributions in every field. It might (and that's a big if) address the pressing problems, but it won't help Canada grow.\n\nI thought the new language requirement was interesting. Some Canadians who immigrated decades ago when the bar was really low still speak English poorly and now they are saying people can’t come to Canada because their language skills are not sufficient. Another point about language is if you apply through Express Entry now, even if you scored the highest language score, given how competitive the pool is, you still won’t get selected. So it’s a given that you need to be fluent in one of the languages at least to get an invitation. Express Entry also selects only the top people, I saw the head of The Institute for Canadian Citizenship in interviews talking about those top-tier people only expect the best treatment/lifestyle when they come to Canada. That's why many of them leave after seeing these Canadian problems play out. But I believe a good Canadian life is not about living in a high rise in Vancouver and Toronto, driving an expensive car, or buying luxury items...it's about the communities, nature and middle-class comfort. So the system is giving PRs to the wrong kind of people (just like mismatched people when hiring that don't align with company values).\n\nThis brings me to the last frustrating issue. There were so many people who attended “fake” universities and bought “fake” jobs to earn points to get an Express Entry invitation. And it's clear that the government wasn't proactively catching these abuses. They are taking up spots from those who try to earn the points fair and square. If I understand correctly, Canada doesn’t send these people away if they are found out (since some of them were scammed). So they still take up immigration quotas.\n\nI have wanted to move to Canada for a long time. I have visited Canada many times, hiking trails through the coastline and fjords, climbing mountains and glaciers. I lived in Montreal for two months to improve my French and I was told by my homestay family that I was the first student they had who didn’t complain about the cold (I wish the winter never ends so I can skate or xc ski in the parks year-round). I have probably seen more Canada than many Canadians and I love every bit of it. But the opportunity for me to even get a shot to move there is pretty much nonexistent now. If only there was a way for the system to allow people who really care about Canada to get a shot at being part of this beautiful country.\n\nThank you for making these videos.

These are the same issues the U. S. Is facing now. The EU was established to help European nations address these issues. Would a U.S. Canada union modeled after the EU have a positive impact on these issues in both countries? It is an interesting thought.

It's a huge problem and it needs to be addressed

This needs to be addressed

Trump, despite his self acclaimed reputation as an “economic genius”, would likely never raise taxes on the ultra-wealthy and ensure corporations pay their fair share, as many currently pay nothing. Balancing the budget would also require curbing excessive military spendings, and if necessary, asking Americans to contribute slightly more, all to address our $36 trillion debt. It’s time to move beyond “art of the deal” Donald and focus on the real solution - CUT THE FRINGES AT THE BOTH END tough guy!

Canadian (second gen indian immigrant) here, your video is great! Not racist or hateful at all towards Indians, but rather critiquing the system which is how these topics should always be addressed. Don't hate the player, hate the game LOL but no seriously, Canada needs to tighten up the immigration requirements and bring in skilled WORKERS. exploiting international students is far too common, and these private post-secondary institutions are also all to blame... kids straight out of highschool should not be coming here, expecting to PR this is nuts, and the Rupinderpaul Singh controversy makes me so embarrassed to be Indian. The students and that guy truly do not represent the rest of us LOL

Finally, an adult in the room. We should address the problem, not its symptoms.\n\nI worry about tariff's for U.S. Territories. Most of the U.S. Territories ship goods in from the mainland USA. How will tariff's bring down inflation and prices on day-to-day products we use/eat?

Here are mine:\n1. Stop arms shipments to Israel and Ukraine. Get Russia to stop attacking Ukraine.\n2. Support a Congressional effort to make abortion a Constitutional right.\n3. Support a Congressional bill to declare that woman and man are defined by biology under the law.\n4. Build massively more low-income housing in transit-centered locations in urban areas and downtowns in smaller suburban cities.\n5. Address homelessness with inherently affordable housing and wrap-around services.

Get me that assholes address

I wanna know, after more than 2 years this investigative docu aired, have the issues tackled here been addressed?

Wow! As an independent black, female who voted Trump as POTUS I am unhappy a black woman is not a cabinet nominee! I think a black female SBA head would have been great - if married I want her to have a black male spouse - to exemplify black essence and love. I do care if picks reflect Caucasian, African and Asian Americans with a sprinkling of other cultures. The need for all racial groups to be represented and have unique economic and basic needs addressed by cabinet picks is fundamental to unify our country!

I apologize to all the Canadians ??!!! Canada has always been a strong ally of the U.S. and a great friend!! Many Americans and Canadians have family together, dual citizenship, and travel and live back and forth in both countries. I am so sorry Trump is being awful to you.\n\nDecreasing the flow of illegal drugs and reducing fentanyl deaths in both countries would benefit Canada and the U.S. Both countries are close partners and I’m sure are already working to address this. I’m sure all Trump had to do was ask nicely and Canada would have handedly agreed to work with the U.S. amid redoubled efforts.

Mexico isn't the US's punching bag anymore! Americans consume this product? And 70% of the guns confiscated are from the US! America has a drug consumption and gun problem! Address these issues first!
