I’ve been living in Canada for 5 years now and I can surely say that Canada is loosing it’s beauty. It’s high time government filters the immigrants it’s taking in the country and it needs to focus more on quality rather than quantity ?\nI love Canada and I feel bad seeing it shaping itself in an ugly way. \nI came from India 5 years ago and I can say this was the best decision but at the same time I feel Canada needs to implement this things to new immigrants coming in:\n\n1) Blend in the local culture and enjoy it the way it is and not try to bring the same chaos and stupidity from back home country.\n\n2) More stricter laws against violators (rowdy immigrants)\n\n3) Once they land they should be given an etiquette lesson and good briefing about Canada whichever airport they are on.\n\n\n4) Better speak English at all times so that everyone can understand everything with clarity.\n(P.S: please don’t consider this racist as Canada has people from all round the world)\n\n5) Cultural festivals need to be celebrated in own space keeping in mind the privacy of others and be courteous to others making sure they’re not bothered.\n\n\n6) Not trying to force others to believe your way or follow certain religion etc and be respectful of others. \n\n\n7) Stop complaining and ranting about things they can’t control and not pollute the environment by being careless. \n\n\nI see a lot of my fellow people making mess of things his beautiful country and hence i hope Canada implements the above points so we can have a better and happy society. \n\nCanada is a land of opportunities and yes it has got some flaws in the system but that’s not what we can control. Hence live and love it the way it is?? \nWe need to be thankful we get clean water here, no floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions etc.\n\n\nThank you Canada ?? ??

More immigrants move to canada because its easier to get a visa compared to the US

Canada just borrowed 500 BILLION $$ from the U.S. Lets get some more social programs going… we have lots of money! The HELP signs in windows are because they can't pay anyone a decent salary because we are all financially FuQ'd.

I was born in Montreal and lived there for 64 years. I'm fluently bilingual. I speak English and French. My mother was French and my father was English. I was educated in English. Because of my work, I had travelled extensively and often throughout all of Canada and had seen it all except for Nunavut and the NorthWest Territories. Having stated that, I couldn't wait to get out of Quebec. Starting in the early 70's, I couldn't stand living in Quebec but I tolerated it because I was doing well financially and it didn't make sense to relocate. The Quebec government introduced stupid and restrictive language laws back then. That drove a lot of business and English-speaking people out of the province. There was a real economic decline in that province that lasted many years but luckily hadn't affected my business. Most of the people that left Montreal moved to Toronto. Toronto benefitted from that exodus as they became the financial capital of Canada. I have resided in BC's Okanagan Valley for the last 7 years. It's the best move I've ever made. I have never regretted moving here. This is by far, the #1 province in Canada.

Send them back to India. Their ultimate goal is to get Canadian citizenship, not education

greed will get u sorrow.. thats the message

He was still carrying a knife, you can't get outraged at that. If I saw this guy walking down the street coming towards me, I don't give a shit what religion you practice or what colour you are, if you have a knife, I'm calling the cops.

Stop messing up our lives! Just to suit what you want to do. We weren’t that bad before . This started after covid and we were fine before . We needed doctors not more people. You guys kept sending money to all these country and that’s where all the money went ! We do not want our country built up everywhere. NS is no longer going to be NS. All of you are ruining our places because you want to bring all these people here. They have there own country! I’m getting really tired of Trudeau and you people trying to ruin our places where we live and grew up just to suit your plan . We don’t want this in our Province of Nova Scotia. We never ever had to live like this before and this is getting to be nuts. This is our province not there’s! Stop this crap! This is our Province of NS not there’s! We don’t want refugees here and all these ukraines here.

I can't even get my gun license (been waiting over a year) but they can process thousands of immigrants a month. Ya that makes sense.

Still waiting for my wife's immigration process 18 mnths.\nBack in the 99s \nA immigrant refugee broke into my home at mid nite and attacked me with a fish fillet knife while I just came out of the shower.\nLike in the movies .\nNow he lives in a co ed love camp in the interior \nTax payer is subsidized everything for this one \nMe I can't get a decent job

Why not make the current (obviously vocally dissatisfied lol -read those comments!) people like you Instead of inviting people who’d merely be a guaranteed vote of the your party doing the door opening. \nOr how about training and inspiring good ethics in workmanship to the trades people I’ve come to live with, no one cares to make quality these days, everyone is just bare minimums and using it to make a buck, i weld for a living, and actually care about the work that I produce. And I believe get compensated quite well however… how is it that for someone -at the top of their field in your so desired “skilled” trades- position, can’t afford anything but your cheaply made “affordable” housing that (for someone like me) have a requirement for some garage space, not just s cookie cutter condo with a driveway… you’re taking all the possible space from current homeowners whom have desirable properties from the up and comers in the market. \n\n( Economic growth is just political pocket lining)

dont get me wrong; i enjoy other cultures of people as a part of my population; that said, are we going to see double these numbers in new houses being errected? with appropriate size living areas/yards? not just complexes? are we going to see a healthcare system that can handle above 20% of our municipalities ? if we are talking about futures we need to ensure we can all have exactly that; a feasible future.

Why cant we meet our Paris Agreement numbers?? Because our government is bringing in more immigrants that need housing (cutting down trees), that need to get to places that cars need to be used to get to, that need to build new sewage treatment plants, that breathe in more air.\nYes! With more people coming into the country, our greenhouse gas emissions go up, so what does this government do?? Increase the carbon tax thats supposed to be used to fight climate change. Great scheme, increase carbon emissions by increasing our population so we have all the excuse in the world to increase the carbon tax at a time when energy prices are at a record high.

You could start with stopping the killing of unborn babies.\nAlso, don't expect a pay raise in your life, and expect everything to get more expensive as the inorganic growth occurs.\nBoth due to supply and demand issues.\nMore people to fight over the jobs, lowering demand and wages, why the early 70's policy of 250,000 people per year was implemented because business didn't like that people had choice and higher wages.\nAnd the increase prices, as we are experiencing due to a lockdown that stifled supply, as we load another half a million people per year with no fundamental changes to the system.

Get the healthcare system working first!!!!

And where are they going to be housed? people cannot afford homes now and it just keeps getting worse

I bet my last Pond that Trudeau and his Family are getting Kickbacks just like the did with WE. THE CORRUPT “CHARITY “.

Really ? Quebec no 1 ?? Don`t get me wrong I live here.... It's pretty....Socialist...Stalin Socialist. And did you ever drive from Montreal to Toronto ? *laugh* As soon as you cross the province border....Your car stop to shake. Bouaaaaaaaahahahaha Roads are better made in Ontario. Oh BTW about the French language.....Did you know that English is made of 28 % of french- words ??? Thank you William the Conqueror 1066....No matter how you look at it.... If you speak english...There always will be a little French in you... So welcome to Quebec...My brothers from any other provinces.

Sir,I I have bachelor degree now working in Dubai but if possible can I get Canada visa please reply

selfish kids to even allow their parents to get in so much debt.

Shame of the Canadian gouverment. Its gonna be another dark part of canadian history. Make a change to be the change now, so we dont have to be part of another shameful past. Greed doesn't work well with education. Alot of aid going out of Canada to help those in need. But there is so many people on and in canada that needs that help, and our population isnt that crazy. So we are getting pocked by a double edge sword.

Uh... Even Canadians studying in this country for countless years and doesn't get the job of their dream. We should worry about Canadians first.

You can’t walk around with a knife strapped around your waist on a university campus you fucking lunatics. So what if it’s a part of your culture you have to follow the rules of the country you’re in. I’m Indian too and this guy clearly deserved to get arrested.

I do not understand only one thing and thats the Indian people obsession with Canada and USA, I mean going there and letting your parents pay huge amounts of money and selling their lands and breaking their back for your school fees to enter some low level college or university and in the end not even sure if you will succeed. Instead you can go to Europe ( a lot of countries to choose from ) much cheaper or even free in some countries, all you have to do is learn the language (for it to be free) you can have a good life, cheaper and safer than US or Canada and after you graduate you can get a good job with good pay, even get permanent residence or citizenship.But still 99 percent of Indians wanna move to US OR Canada,UK aswell and in some cases Australia.

Bro from where did u get this job what is the requirements bro please tell me n how much it costed u.

Then there are lies and manipulation by applicants at high commissions and embassies to get student visa. Let us talk about it.

OFCOURSE CANADA WILL BE BORING FOR BLAK PEOPLE... BECAUSE THEY CAN'T DESTROY IT AND BE LAWLESS LIKE THE US AND AOTHER PLACES, PLUS IN CANADA YOU HAVE TO GET OFF YOU ARSE AND WORK, AND CAN'T LIVE OF THE GOVERNEMNT.........TRY GOING TO SWITZERLAND AND OTHER DEVELOPING NATIONS, YOU ALL MIGHT JUST COMPLETELY DIEE.....

Thank you fifth estate for investigating. Hope these students get justice.

Money making scam but Indian parents doesn't get it

I can't imagine moving to a different country to get away from the problems and difficulties you grew up with, only to bring them with you.

In short- All agency need is money and all we or students need is a visa to move out of India for better future. But honestly- Education which i got here or which some are getting from colleges in Canada would be just 3/10. Nonsense and no use. None knows who regulates this.

At 8 53, it's chat Hut restaurant, that we generally go to get food, not anymore!

The Canadian government is well aware of the scam private colleges and that the majority of these students aren’t getting an education and are just cheap labour for Canada. The Minister’s feigned shock that it’s happening is pathetic. The fact that Canada didn’t sign the Code of Conduct that other countries did says it all. If Canada is so interested in cheap labour, then just issue closed work permits with a path to permanent residency. Why make them spend tens of thousands of dollars and put their families into debt at useless private colleges?

I hope this gets translated into Punjabi

wow 5 x times what canadians pay. imagine how much it cost to study in the US when US students already get scammed themselves paying $150 000- $500 000 for a 4 year degree program, intenational students could pay $750 000-$2 500 000 lol

Sir can I get ur communication details?

Obviously he's is religious person but bro literally you are not allowed to bring prohibited thing why to carry life threatening things in university even students are not allowed to carry lighter might can get suspended

Canada also not a good country as you can not play outside for 7 months in a year. easy to get the PR, you will not get better jobs. Only benefit is you have the access to the US job market.

Looks like the Sikh staged it to get attention....Very disgraceful act

I know that the actions seen out here in the video is kind of an extrem, but I believe whatever measures were taken it was for the welfare of keeping everybody safe in which my Sikh brother had no bad intentions but it was all an honest mistake.  According to my understanding he could've worn the Kripan under his T-shirt.. no disrespect to nobody but I'm here with all my Love and Respect to all.. \nAnd He being out of India.. people might have heard or know about Sikhism but respectively being in a totally different country it'll be a cultural shock to some of its fellow country's residents and that too he is in an educational environment or zone where a lot of unfortunate events had occur in the past few years due to violence.. so taking these reasons and unfortunate incidents under consideration.. our dear Sikh brother did not do anything wrong in openly carrying a Kripan (knife) for it is his cultural right and had gone some kind of a rituals in order to carry a Kripan for self-defense. But people will still feel some kind of uneasiness when it comes to weapons seen in and around educational area or zones. \nSo whatever measures had been taken for the safty of all.. especially by the security as he was doing his job by understanding the situation. No heard feeling to nobody but I just wanted to get my point across regarding this incident. N I know my Sikh brothers n sisters will definitely come to an agreement of understanding in what I'm trying to say..

Shame on this kind of a security guard or a police officer when they get a free food from us they are happy but they don’t know about our culture Time the election all the official go over the temple gurdwara discussion situation the stupor don’t know about this shame on you government

Look I get it you know like it’s a spiritual thing and it’s important to him but it’s still a knife and it’s in a college like I’m sorry bro but you’re in the wrong here

Be a Greek in Greece..follow rules of the land.. For example, weed is legal in some of the states in US but it is totally illegal in India and you could get arrested...

This is very annoying....\nU r visiting some other country and thinking that ur customs will be respected....thats too much....\n\nHats off to that police officer who chose safety of citizen above fake seculariam....\n\nI know sikhs r very peaceful community but the thing is if govt get loose on this then radical bastrads of desert will create havoc in that country in the name of their customs....\n\nSo bro,for the safety of that country it is correctly done and should be carry forwarded....

The cop would have got a binus for that action against a brown, other than his fat pay cheque extorted using taxes and fines from public who dont get printed fiat currency pay cheques.

You cannot enter usa without agreeing for every rule and regulation of country. He as a student would have pleaded to follow all us rules and regulations to get a chance to study there. He is showing all bulshit now. He should have respected the law of land

Fine....same thing happens to Hindus in India...haha they get tortured ...and no one speaks

Don’t carry knives on campus. If you do you’ll get arrested. Our society has boundaries. If you don’t like it, gtfo.

How can someone in Africa get to be there?

It's not wrong on the part of Cops. This is new to them . When they'll get to know that it's been going for so long , they'll consider it acceptable. After all Kirpans are even allowed at Airports in India . Everyone trust Sikhs . Sikhism shares love among all people.
