How do you justify bringing more people into this country when you have a housing crisis? Where are they going to live? Where are the people who were born in Canada going to live when they can’t find available affordable housing? Like let’s get our priorities straight here and fix the problems we have first.

Unbelievable. So many of us have lost our homes and are on the streets many jobless many disabled many sick many veterans. Why take care of your own just bring in immigrants and give them what little housing there isn't. Don't train us for jobs who are disabled or give us housing or food. Trudeau and Ford disgust us. Rich born boys who had their homes paid for by family money

I think they should try to bring in people with similar beliefs, culture, and religion to Canadians, too big of a shift in these aspects too quickly will naturally cause conflict

Sure, bring them over. Just dont ignore born and raised canadians for them

Bring nice boys from Gruzja Trudeau like nice boys like his father Pierr former agent working 20 years for KGB

Bring them all to Nova Scotia.

We can't keep hospitals open \nOr gas prices down \nOr employ people adequately \nOr feed people adequately \nOr get clean water to the first nation's \nWhy do we want to bring more people in ?

To make this work you have to RECOGNIZE THE QUALIFICATIONS OF PEOPLE FROM COMMONWEALTH COUNTRIES. Many people who are well-qualified are not recognized in Canada.\nChange the law. Whoever has STUDIED AND HAS CANADIAN QUALIFICATIONS AND IS FROM A COMMONWEALTH COUNTRY,, MAKE IT EASIER. MAKE THEM AUTOMATIC PERMANENT RESIDENTS ONCE THEY DECIDE TO STAY IN CANADA.\nThis system will make your goal to attract more people much more EASIER. ------ You have to REVAMP THE SYSTEM. START THINKING OUT OF THE BOX.\n Currently, the system is NOT FRIENDLY TOWARDS YOUR GOAL OF BRINGING MORE PEOPLE TO CANADA.\n\nThe Government has to help with housing and medical. Currently, it is in CRISIS.

Stop bringing in people who are so different from us. Look at what the government has caused. Racisim and hate. We love immigrants but ones that will fit in. When in Rome do as the Romans do. You are bringing in people who have 100 or more years of anger. And commit crimes and don't blend in.

We can't not afford more immigrants ,when they arrive we give them free medical..and social benefices we older people we had pay for that free medcal by our high income taxes high taxes.we didn't have any help from the governement to raise our children.we work 2 or 3 jobs they dont'work because they don 't know french or english.we don't have any appartement, the hospitals are 150% full we don't have enough teacher ,enough doctor and you want to bring more people.ask them to go on a farm and raise thei own animal and have garden to feed their family like our ancestor did

Lol. Yes you are correct. A lot of people that live here would have more children if there it were cheaper. So keep bringing people in and paying them to be here. Maybe lower prices on the things that count so we want to procreate.

no ofense but bring people who willing to work !! no people walking all day on the street doing nothing

housing shortage,,, let's bring in more people

So basically, the Liberal government plans to depress wages further while increasing the cost of living. I guess rent wasn't high enough so obviously we need to steal a portion of everyone's income to increase the demand for housing by bringing in half a million immigrants per year. This plan is blatantly evil.

If you're bringing in more immigrants, remove the damn red tape that prevents them from working in their specialized field (doctors, nurses, etc.). You guys say that you're going to make a change everytime, but nothing's actually changed. Stop with this haphazard plan and actually put together one that makes sense if that isn't too much to ask!

By 2025, interesting. A election will take place then. Sure hope he's not bringing people in to get votes.

So many people here can barely afford to pay rent or buy a first home, so let’s bring people who have nothing, help them out, and leave current Canadians to struggle. Got it.

The problem isn't bringing more people in, it's making sure that they are evenly spread throughout Canada.

How about we bring over people willing to work and be part of Canadian society not live in their ethnic ghettos collecting benefits…

WHY??? GOVERNMENT CANT TAKE CARE OF THE POPULATION NOW, AND THEY WANT TO BRING MORE THAT YOU WONT BE ABLE TO HAVE RESIDENCE FOR THEM

We need more GOOD people. Bringing in the most vulnerable isn't the goal.

Lets keep bringing in more people to beg for money at the highway exists. Lets make Canada more expensive! See how that's turning out

Plz do more efforts to bring some more light on these collages tuition fees for international students because being an punjabi i have seen and heard many cases of sucides in Canada. I think if a person is ready to give his life long income just for his child education it should be worth it financially and emotionally. Lots of love for this channel ❤️❤️❤️

Whatever your faith is law is law why do you think they will allow or understand you bringing a knife in college campus

Bringing a ritualistic useless blunt knife to a swarm of gun carrying county folks ain't much of a playing field to begin with.

THANK YOU FIFTH ESTATE TO BRING OUT THIS STORY

I passed the student face and now on work permit. Kudos to fifth estate for bringing forward the harsh reality.

Thanks for bringing light to the topic

Thank you for bringing this story out. I hope this expose results in a policy change and all these fake recruiting partners are charged for criminal negligence.

Recruiters are scammers, these people coming here are also scammers. Canadians are going homeless because of these scammers. Most of the Canadians don’t understand. Canada should focus on bring good quality labor from different countries. Canada is expected to be the slowest developing economies among developed countries.

who brings a knife to a gun fight ..this guy hold my beer ?..

Thankyou fifth Estate team for hearing the voice of international students and bring this topic to the lime light. \nHatts off to you guys !! You guys are doing a tremendous job \nLots of blessings

Thanks The fifth estate for bringing this issue.

Its a big business move by canadian official partnership with Indian agents To bring bring as much money through this scam .

Canadians wake up, you don't have population, in order to save your land from foreign attack you are preparing population by stealing of Indias population, do you think Canada brings students , give pr, in order for taxes , are you kidding. After 300 or 400 years this population will be purely Canadian there decendants will work in military doctor or any any thing . And will save your country from foreign attacks and grabbing your lands.. so in order to save your land in future Canada is preparing population.. which you don't have.. hope you understand long term logics

Corruption and Greed to exploit people for money. These politicians aren't going do nothing because it brings in 23 billion dollars. I'm heart goes out to these people.

Canadians use immigrants as a way of life. The entire country runs on immigrant labor. However when an American moves to Canada, with advanced skills to bring to the table, we are treated like the Indian folks, so we just turn back around and go home.

This story has made me so ANGRY! To see what the Canadian government is allowing to happen these young people, I thought we were a country of compassion.this is so embarrassing as a country.\nThank you for bringing this issue to light.

My friends dad once promised an ability to get PR for me. He was asking for CAD $20K. He owns a pizza place in rural Alberta. It is easy to connect the dots but temporary residents bring a lot of money into Canada so Canada looks the other way at exploitation happening here.

I am ashamed at once again we put money above human rights we always need to look at what we are doing against humans rights before we start pointing fingers. When one points a finger there are three pointing back at you. Thanks fifth estate for bringing this to our attention . Good for the students to fight back at this corruption. Canada please do better.

Thank you Fifth Estate for bringing this story to the forefront! It needed much attention and the government needs to step in and do something now!

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.

Thank CBC for bringing this

Great research, thank you for bringing light to this dark side of student life in Canada

Why I would not bring or move my girl to canada

Why do we want to bring a quarter of the Indian population to our small-towns and cities? I don't understand I'm not trying to be rude I just feel that it will forever change our country.

Incisive research which has very aptly highlighted the dark side of the capitalist market. The humans are just one form of product and mere numbers. Deeply appreciate the effort in bringing out such an important and critical subject to public. Great work.

Can you give same explanation at airport security check, keep religious beliefs and practices outside of educational institutions. Same thing would have happened in India as well if one brings knife or any kind of weapon to college or school.

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

Don't bring your kirpan to school or college as someone else will use it against you
