Many people have commented here to change India and make it livable instead of dreaming of Canada but let me tell you, ideally it is very welcoming and patriotic thought to make India top class country in the world in all respect but keeping current politicians standards, democratic model and caste & religion discrimination, it is next to impossible to implement changes. China has done despite massive population because it has hidden dictatorship and there are no inside traitors. Many entities within and outside India are doing their level best to break and shake India. \n\nI am from Canada, I just arrived in India on vacation. It disturbed me a lot to see trash and garbage everywhere ( especially on Kurla-Andheri-Mankhurd) on the streets from Mumbai airport, the town planning, landscape, traffic, road quality, people's civic sense (and many more things to mention) are in worst shape which is not a sign of good quality life. Especially when you enjoy lavish, luxurious, clean hygienic, sustematic life style abroad, you naturally tend tobe fascinated with that country, no matter how much patriotic you're. Somewhere people make the problem, somewhere government or governing bodies and somewhere both. \nForeign visitors must be experiencing what I experienced. That is why we Indians are always become victims of hate and criticism abroad.

All indian students aspiring to have better education and life please call Foreign minister Jay shankar. He has great relationship with Russia. You can go ther immediately without delays and even pay in rupees with BRICS?. See this as an opportunity for indians and develop Russian economy?. Russia can send students to china if it think it is getting over populated. Then china doesn't have to send students will land back in inidia. Full circle .Development continues .......?

I moved here from France in 2000. It was always multicultural. But now its overun by Indians. We have china town in Toronto, but damn Brampton isn't little India, excpet it is because of the mass population of indians completly NOT multi-cultural.... Not to mention the lack of houses and jobs and we're supoosed to be happy that this is hapening?

So here is how things will move on going from here, and this goes for people reading the comments. And full disclaimer I live in Victoria, BC so I can share my POV from the Canadian side:\n\nThere's toomuch of low skilled cheap labour coming in from Punjab and other countries like Nigeria, Philippines, etc. Its gotten sooo bad now that even Indians living in Canada are feeling like this is not what we came for.\n\nI can't even start with how bad the immigration has gotten, people can barely and I mean barely speak English and they are working for all possible low skilled jobs. Tim Hortons, Uber delivery, Uber Cabs, Petrol pumps I mean what is going on.\n\nRight now its getting to Canadians, and you need to understand that Canadians need these low skilled jobs for themselves too but employers are finding extremely cheap labour from other places to replace Canadians.\n\nSo if you ask me this move is good, it will surely hurt the skilled labour class too but its needed. Imagine have a million immigrants coming in with a country that has a population of 40 million.\n\nThe infrastructure comes to a stand still, housing is ruined, food inflation begins. \n\nHonestly thanks to Diploma mills, Asylum seekers and gangs from Punjab, its honestly gotten bad from the Indian perspective. Now add to this others coming in from Africa and South East Asia and you can see this country get worse honestly.\n\nThis isn't hate against anyone, its just facts.

In india , After living and coexisting peacefully with muslims for many centuries and knows them well enough to know the fake propaganda about muslims is false .instead of defending the minority muslims population and christian population. The indian community overwhelmingly accepts the fake notions of love j*had, corona j*had etc etc . all started in 2014 with this racist government once banned in the western world.\n\nnow the indians ,are experiencing it in canada the difference is that the canadians did not live side by side for thousands of years prior to the accusations as fellow canadians , they did not fight against the british occupying force side by side . tbh i don't want to sound rude but at least now you know how the muslims and chrisitand and othr lower hindu casts are feeeling in india now.l by the new bjp government

Whitey colonizer who illegally entered Canada nd keeled and replaced them r teaching us that there r too many indians in canada even though they legally entered their nd only make up 5% of population and mostly on student nd business visa, they don't even have citizenship. These whiteys claim they're not racists nymore nd we let them go without taking any revenge for what they did to other races, if they want to continue this, we have to revive the history nd settle our scores.

Well, Indians gonna take over the world and then SPACE!! ? It’s super densely populated here, so WE NEED SPACE! ?

I don’t agree with her statements, but no one can deny Canada has a large East Indian population that came here exploiting the student and work permit visa system, which has lead to massive unemployment for Canadian citizens, we can be against mass immigration and not be racist, but this lady seems to have taken it to fare.

Please India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Africa control your birth rate because your countries can't give you joba due to your population growing and then you people come to other countries and take their jobs especially Indians. And you aren't Canadian just by getting passport doesn't make you native of that land. I am born in Pakistan and I have Canadian citizenship but it doesn't mean I am native here.

I mean who are we to talk? We indians dont like when other state people come to our state for job and make its hard and over populated.. She has point but i think she should blame the Canadian gov.

Only 3% of the population of Canada is Indian yet Canadians say they feel like they're living in India. So dumb.

Lol cp24 is like cnn . Canada over populated? People are lleaving.only indians and pakis are coming. Stop them to come and send them back and canada will be great again..

I wish India and Pakistan could be one country—not as British India, but as a united land where people from both sides coexist peacefully and share in each other's lives.\n\nIf we were truly united, think about what could happen:\n\n1. The $50 billion defense expenses on both sides could reduce, freeing up resources for growth and development.\n\n\n2. The Kashmir issue would no longer divide us, allowing Kashmiri people to live happily and fearlessly, finally at peace after decades.\n\n\n3. Punjab would be united again, blending its rich culture and heritage from both sides.\n\n\n4. Pakistanis could visit the Taj Mahal, and Indians could experience Lahore's old markets—all without the need for passports and visas.\n\n\n5. Imagine the beautiful sight of Ganpati Visarjan on Karachi beach, celebrating with the same joy as we do in Mumbai. We already have so many mosques across India, so all faiths would have a home.\n\n\n\nAnd my favorite thought: India and Pakistan together would have the strongest cricket team, with fast bowlers, skilled batsmen, and the best of talent playing as one.\n\nFrom an Indian perspective, some people might ask why we would want this—why merge with a country that has been under military control since 1958? There’s concern about extremist groups, the instability Rawalpindi brings, and whether Pakistan could ever embrace the same religious harmony that India enjoys. In Indian cantonments, people of all faiths celebrate each festival together—could Pakistan someday share this unity and respect for diversity?\n\nOn the Pakistani side, many feel merging isn’t practical. They believe it would only create more problems with a larger population, and cultural differences might make it difficult. They worry about job competition, about religious fanatics clashing, and about how their way of life might change.\n\nI know this dream may sound foolish to some, but I believe nothing is impossible if both sides truly want it. History shows that countries have overcome their divisions.\n\nI don't know why, but I just wanted to share these thoughts. I don’t want to get into the blame game over who caused the partition; I only dream of a future where understanding, peace, and mutual respect guide us all.

Immigration is ongoing Colonization. And Canadians are MAD, because you have allowed for people from countries with HIGH RATES of pro-sexually violent cultural views, and low standards of hygiene and politeness into our country. And you let them come here as students and take up first world spots for first world Canadians. And FYI, there is tons of sexual violence on university campuses…so that tracks. \nYou let these people who are anti-dark skin into the country, and then you say because they are “racialized” they can’t be racist. That’s not how racism works, and I want my racists to be domestic, because then at least we share a cultural thread of unity: Canadian born and raised. Why are we being subjected to this B.S?? \nGOC has not created a way for us to report immigrants who are rude or abusive to Canadians, and who have over-stayed their visas. DEPORT THEM. When they commit crimes, instead of deporting them, you let them stay. They’re old women are also crooks and in on it. Imagine bringing the people who call and scam from Indian and Nigeria to Canada so they can just do it from here. Wild. And the Chinese (not Asians, I mean the Chinese)…are the colonizers of their part of the world, AND they cheat in schools. So you’re giving graduates spots to cheaters, liars, anti-Canadian, and racists. Canada never had a diversity problem, we had a supremacy problem, and we still do. And Canadian DOES NOT MEAN WHITE. So stop making this a race thing. \nYou let them snap up our houses and our land and jack up the prices, and force us into homelessness and prostitution to pay rent, and into drug addictions because of a lack of purpose. So the GOC literally just implemented the same strategy they used to place indigenous people onto reserves, but now it’s for all Canadians. And make no mistake: high rents for bento-box “luxury”/rat infested housing are min-reserves that are not built for Canadian bodies or our aging/disabled population. \nDEPORT THEM AND REFRAIN FROM GIVING THESE ANCHOR BABIES CITIZENSHIP. If they come here to have their babies, instead of giving them a Canadian birth certificate, you should be getting that certificate from their consulate. Cause at this point that’s just trafficking and financial fraud/abuse. We all know they come here to get the benefits and the domestic tuition, and a lot go right back to China. And it does seem to be the Chinese, Indians, and Nigerians (a lovely EDI mix) of thieves. \nCanada has spoken, we don’t want them, we don’t like them; and they do not like us, they want us out of our own country. This isn’t a racial issue; this is a cultural issue. You cannot have these anti-West people in our western nation. They gotta go. And who cares about the international students anymore or the money “they bring in”. Universities are registered not-for-profits in Canada, so the for-profit argument can’t track. \nCanada needs a RICO law so we can more easily seize their assets and expel them, and hold universities to the fire for this crap, and the government officials getting kickbacks. The GOC is the largest human trafficking pimps, and the universities are bottom bi***es. And don’t think we don’t know that the 30% cap DOESN’T apply to companies like Navitas who recruit for the universities, are housed in the universities, but are separate, private companies.

shut up old granny. You are living on the money which lot of Indians paid as Social Security , Medicare and other Taxes which doesn't much benefit Indians back. Your race has more old population which means more taking than giving.

7 Workers per retiree because you don’t want to balance the budget, that is over DOUBLE our current population are they all going to be Indian? Serious question.

Hats off to the Indians for dumping thier stinky population in canada destroying the economy. ❤❤❤

It's true i agree with the lady..I am Indian as well...kyu dusro k desh mai jakr population bdrhe ho

They are skilled migrants. Why do Canada take them in? Because they lack skilled white people to do their jobs. Also lack of population. Indians don’t do drugs and they work and earn money and contribute to the society. And for the matter of fact they don’t just come from India they are invited to Canada from India by Canadian government policies and by Canadian companies. Medical and IT professionals are given big offers to come and live in Canada. However that may not be the case for students. Students are in large numbers and they want to stay back. Too many students is a problem. Colleges just take in too many of them, because they pay the money. Bring some control over colleges and students intake. There are too many new colleges just for business and that’s not good.

Just 1% of india's population live abroad. Now imagine what will happen when 10% of indians move abroad

Sorry guys even Indians don't have place in india we are no 1 in population

I think she's not wrong... just frustrated to see Indians all over... India really need to control its bursting population. Have population how much you can feed!

If the hopi, inca or the mayan tribe people complain, we can understand... \nThe whites were invaders who decimated the indigenous population, a few centuries ago... Now less than 5% of native people exist... \nThey dont have the right to tell others to get out , since most indians come through the legal way and dont create any issues to the country.\nMost indians while are law abiding citizens and contribute to the Canadian nation...

Ummmm isnt it like 30 years too late to be questioning the Brampton issue? It was established long ago. Pretty much accepted as an established reality.\n\n And this non white I.D. is strange. What do people think , all the non whites are in some sort of unity? Lol . Yah right. Let me tell you a secret about Indians. There worse conflicts and problems are with their own relatives. Dont beleive me? K. \n\n Anyway. The real problem behind so much of what is going on has to do with exponential population growth. An 8th of the worlds population has been generated in the last 14 years. 1 FKN BILLION PEOPLE in that small window of time. We hit 7 billion in 2011. THATS FKN INSANE AND THE WORLD IS NOT GOING TO WAKE UP AND TELL THE THIRD WORLD TO FKN KNOCK IT OFF. NO ELECTED OFFICIAL TRADITIONALLY TOUCHES THE POPULATION ISSUE. IN 58 HUXLEY CALLED IT BUT HIS ESTIMATE WAS EXCEEDED. \n SUCH A FKD UP TIME. PEOPLE ARE NOT EVEN DISCUSSING THIS. DISCUSSING EVERYTHING THIS MAIN PROBLEM TRICKLES DOWN INTO. YET THE MAIN ONE CAUSING THE OTHERS, (MANKIND'S NUMBERS THEMSELVES) IS UNDER THE FKN RADAR. FKD UP. \n\nP.S. If you want to discuss something ABOUT BRAMPTON more people may not be aware of unlike the Indian population , you would focus on the crime increase. Also if your going to talk to whites , interview some home owners with cohesive families not burnt out losers (hate to say it) that have ALWAYS felt like outcast in one form or another. \n Besides, in the real world , understand that there was a white flight factor in Brampton that perpetuated for years. The ones that stayed usually didnt have the ability, means, let alone a plan to leave. \n\n LETS KEEP IT REAL. NOT THAT ITS GOING TO MAKE MUCH DIFFERENCE.

If Indian journalists had done better jobs, some innocent people would be free without any problems now. \n\nDo you know if Canadian citizens learn something about sikh independentist? \n\nDo you know if Hardeep Singh Nijjar did something from Canada to India? Never forget media across the world have people to translate your news. \n\nCanada doesn't make enough effort to protect the population and accepts everything from strangers. It is not acceptable for a country to commit murders in another country. The Indian government is not rational on this point; only small policies without any vision. Reputation of India for only one citizen at this point, they could have 1,428,627,663 conflicts around the world, one for each citizen, good luck. \n\nI would boycott a lot of newcomers from India to avoid this kind of problem until having a real solution. Canadians can't inquire about newcomers from India. Canada is not a prison, we don't have to make effort to receive immigration. I think Canadians deserve a safe country. This is not refusal, but we don't need to import problem in this beautiful country.

It’s true raising population of India and huge number of immigrants are threatening the Canadian stability the racism in India is in peak due to BJP and this is reason Indians are struggling to move out of country

Racists. Lol. Yeah, but there are actually too many Indians everywhere. That's true, no denying that. Irresponsible breeders, one racist called an Indian in Sweden. Isn't it true, though? Have you checked the population numbers? But this is wrong. Racism is so wrong.

Indians form third-largest illegal immigrant population in U.S.: Pew Research...bz of people doing these Indians are unable to get visa even if qualified and applying legally... Anything to US reports...The fiscal burden of providing essential services and benefits to illegal aliens costs American taxpayers nearly $151 billion each year.... Finally these people will be underpaid, tortured or end up in slavery....Pls don't do this and bring shame to our country...

Justin Trudeau is in a difficult position. The Opposition Leader, Pierre Poilievre, refuses to be cleared for security level intelligence briefings. So, while the Conservatives try to unseat Trudeau through a no confidence vote, Poilievre does not address the subject of extra-National murders. Canada has a huge ex-pat Indian population. The idea that Indian nationals are circulating through the land with the knowledge and support of their diplomats is horrifying.??

For you all who are sympathizing with her..let me tell you Indians are 2% of canadian population. 2% of Indian population is christian and whole country celebrate Christmas. So..they are just jealous..that Indian are doing better than them\nEdit - my bad it's 5% but still...

Even I feel why Indians have to migrate. Live a respectable life back home instead of making people outside uncomfortable in there on land. Nobody like there population dynamics changing in front of there eyes. \n\nI can see in India. Indians do not like seeing Nigerians around them, they they do no rent there homes to them. Basically these immigrants are getting taste of their own medicine. I would suggest shut up live low life or come back home.

No hate!! But U thing I would like to tell is that now most of Indian's (Settled abroad) can now understand what exactly a Bihari feels. Everytime a bihari visits a new state he has to face such things like an outsider same thing is done with Indian Abroad! Remember The way Indian's treat Bihari is same as Foreigners treat Indian ?\nThe local people usually say that the Bihari are settling here this is concerning they might steal our job this and that.\nAnd when the same thing will happen to them abroad they'll cry for it??.\nThe foreigners treat Indians the same way as Indian's treat Biharis. \nForeigners would feel the same when the population of Indian immigrants will increase it will be concerning for any citizen why to cry for it?

Within India, there is immigration from north to South. And, you don't need any passport or Visa to immigrate within the states of India. Bangalore, an important city in South India s Karnataka State is brimming with people from the North. The Kannadigas become the minority in their own state. The population of Tamils in the state of Tamilnadu is shrinking. In another 50 years north Indians will dominate South India. So, all over the world , the adverse side effects of immigration are felt. People from overpopulated regions have been migrating to less populated are for resources, from Europe to America, and now Asia to Europe and north America. There was, is, and will be murmurs, hiccups and clashes leading to violence. Animals resist their own species, crossing their borders, so are men. This is the bitter truth, take it with a pinch of salt.

Also right now, India and Canada are nto international friends. India sends some people here to kill a Canadian citizen, and gets caught red handed doing it. India is doing a hell of a job dealing with its Muslim population and their leader is a populist asshat. He talks like Trump and offers little in return except to find scapegoats. Then that BS is brought here, along with a lot of daily life cultural garbage. \n\nSo yeah. A lot of Canadians want Indians to leave. And it sucks for Indians who come here out of good faith and excellent intention. But it's not enough. The negatives are far outweighing the positives. Yeah. Send'em home.

According to the ethnicity population graph, Hindus are the most coming in; there are more Hindus in Canada, USA, UK, and Australia, so when you say Indian it’s mostly the Hindus. Look at the number of Hindu temples in the western countries; it’s a Hindu culture take over the west. There are about a billion of them. I feel building temples, having your foreign country Independence Day parades, wedding parades should not be allowed. Most Hindus are Bjp supporters, staunch supporters of India then why aren’t they living in India? It makes no sense; unless it’s a Trojan horse strategy for the greater Hindu raj over the world; like Islam but more sinister and hidden. Hindu culture does not share the same values of a western democratic society, look how minorities are treated in India; if they become majority in the west it’s game over for the other communities.

Too many Indians because India overtook China as the most populated country. The amount of Indians in Canada is just 0.00000001% of India's population.

I am so sorry, as a native Canadian, that Indians are feeling attacked. It is difficult, no matter your ethnic background, if you are not Indian to even acknowledge these issues because people are afraid of being labelled as racist so I thank you for bringing this topic up. Please understand this is the result of runaway immigrations with no real screening. The government quadrupled immigration, hundreds of percents increase in students, asylum seekers, and illegal entries, even though there was already a housing crisis, and a completely predictable doctor shortage due to aging out. Covid was just starting to get under control but many still needed treatment and BOOM, the population went from 30 million in 2014 to over 40 million in a decade, most of it in the last 3 years. We native Canadians are scratching our heads, we don't understand what the Liberals are trying to accomplish but to create suspicion and racism between groups of people -- divide and conquer? Maybe...but ultimately it is a complete lack of planning! Still 99 percent of Canadian born do not blame Iindividual ndians for this. I've lived and worked with Indians my entire life of over 60 years. There are now Indian gangs, particularly Punjabi gangs because of lack of oversight, and while they are small they are constantly committing crimes, selling drugs, shooting people all in the last few years. I hear gun shots nightly in my ethnically mixed neighbourhood, and we are all afraid to walk at night. Unfortunately the people arrested are mostly from continental India. Some have a political agenda that has to do more with India than Canada, so they recruit young Indo-Canadian children from good families and tell them they are being oppressed, and next thing these kids are acting as drug mules and enforcers, being told that they are fighting systemic racism. As for dancing and music, I love the cultural events, we are happy to see and even take part in Indian cultural events. IWhen I do hear people blaming India and Indians it breaks my heart too! Hopefully together we can fix this. Our governments are at odds, and I hate this -- they need to respectfully talk and work this out. You are good neighbours, good people, you are welcome here and have helped build Canada in so many positive ways. ?

India is too late. Its livable areas have shrunk over millennials due to islamic invasions. The new world already got occupied european population eliminating original inhabitants of australia, north and south america, ocenia and new zealand etc. India and China failed to get any new land despite having tremenduous populations. they failed to plan. They were colonised by europeans , so never got a chance to invade others. whenever there is war in other lands, indians still prefer to run back to congested india.

Incredibly greedy boomer population selling their own kids down the river and replacing them with Indians who will work for peanuts and live in deplorable conditions

As an indian living in Dubai. If I feel a place was overcrowded- I would leave, but for some indians its not the same and its quite sad some politicians thinking a densely populated city full of jobless people is okay. Its kind of the opposite reason why indians move to canada(because most of us dont like overecrowded cities-which tends to happen in india). The amoumt of jobs need to increase. The infrastructure needs to increase. Colleges and schools where people actually pay for all of it is necessary. And homelessness needs to be replace by education and housing policies for older canadians especially. Preserving the respect for the elderly. The list goes on- and yes it will increase the amount of jobs, if they build and educate. Also increase the incentive to be educated.

This is so untrue. In India they don’t face any threats from terrorists. Except for Jammu and Kashmir, there is no political unrest in any other region of India. They can move to any other Indian state. As an Indian, I feel ashamed to say that our fellow Indians are misusing the immigration system in Canada and the US.Unfortunately there is a huge section of our population who choose to live a life without any civic sense or morals and the whole of India is facing backlash for their actions. Any one who migrates should do it legally, following the law of the land.

Islamic rule in India was a form of colonialism, characterized by the imposition of a foreign islamic culture, religion, and political system on the Indian subcontinent.\nMuslims were foreign invaders who came to India and imposed their Islamic faith and culture on the indigenous population. They point to examples of the destruction of Hindu temples, the imposition of Jizya tax on non-Muslims, and the forced conversions to Islam as evidence of this colonialist mindset.\nMuslim social attitudes on modern issues have caused controversy everywhere. Islam to be incompatible with secular society, and that, unlike other religions, Islam positively commands its adherents to impose its religious law on all peoples, believers and unbelievers alike, whenever possible and by any means necessary. Islam allows to propagate abuses, such as the mistreatment of women and homosexuals, and slavery. They also state that multiculturalism allows a degree of religious freedom that exceeds what is needed for personal religious freedom and is conducive to the creation of organizations aimed at undermining secular values. According to poll, high people had an unfavourable view of Islam, higher than for any other religion.

I don't know about the other countries, Canada, led by Justin Trudeau, is still 100% committed to import 100MM Indians to populate this country and pay taxes. \n\nGrab every opportunity to come to Canada, legal or otherwise. When Indians own and run this country, you want to have your spot.

Boycott Tim Hortons, Indian Restaurants, If you are serious about this…, but I can see spineless Canadian population going there even after this , seeing Young Canadian kids having hard time finding summer jobs.

Brampton is pure chaos not to be racist. People think it's multicultural but 80% of the residents are South Asian. Not very multicultural if you ask me. Brampton is not faring so well compared to other cities in the GTA such as Mississauga and Toronto. This sudden spike in Indian immigrants isn't just in Brampton but basically everywhere in Southern Ontario. Brampton just so happens to be where most South Asian individuals reside. These recent 20 years is where Canada saw much more immigrants originating from South Asia and the Caribbean. This same issue took place more than a century ago when Chinese immigrants migrated to Canada. Eventually, people will get used to the Indian population and it shouldn't be looked down upon. So sorry for this essay of mine, couldn't shorten my thoughts :)

No White Canadians know how natives felt, when you over ran their country. Atleast they're not doing a genocide. Indian population is just 4 percent. Muslims are 8 percent.

Our indians will never leave, we will come with more numbers to help out the population

Indians are much better population than war zones plp entered... And canada never velongs to single race
