What the heck is going on? In the last few days there's been news of migrants leaving Canada to come to the US, and now the opposite. I'm willing to bet this is economy related. Migrants, I suggest you just go home or whereever the nearest land is that actually fits your traditions and values. As the economy gets closer to collapse, you're going to wish you had anyways. Once it fully crashes, you're going to discover that all that philanthropy is going to drop and each country is only going to be able to look after it's own citizens. If even that.

But America has a big desert land . Put them to work building the infrastructure and new lands

I see a gun line forming ! Rules are made for a reason . Other countries need to ask for help and do better! Crazy people supposed to build their home and land up

There is no such thing as an illegal on stolen land

Canada lots of land to help these poor migrants. They should as Its humanity issue.

They think they run into country of hopes and dreams, they have no idea they run into land of darkness and loneliness while breaking back for $20000 a year and having nothing left in the end of the month.

Natural catastrophic events and brutal autocratic dictatorships is why you're seeing this right now. Russia offers land for free and yet they still flood to US borders. It must be better treatment as people of color.

All Joe Biden’s doing! At the end of the day, you cannot enter into this country illegally! That’s the law! I agree with Trump, we don’t mind immigrants coming to the country ,, we just want you all to do it legally, otherwise you shouldn’t be over here ,,, period! You all have to abide by the laws just like everyone else! Look at how you all are trying to Bogard your way in , and you all have no regards for the laws of the land we live in! Maybe we should get Trump back in office because he had complete control of this border like this country has ever seen ! In addition, it is not the fault of the United States that there is so much poverty in your country, nor is it our responsibility to reduce the level of poverty in your country! That’s why you all have politicians in your country! Its not our fault that corruption in your country has led to the impoverished situation that exists in your country! This is down right disrespectful to the United States!\nI personally would send all of you all back and require that you go back to your country and do this the legal way!

Let them in,America is found.All of the Western Hemisphere is Indigenous.Reset ,mudflood, Go brown people,it's all your land!!

These are native Americans coming back to their ancestral lands

Who the fuck do they think they are, this not shit land

We need to build special prisons NOW for all these illegals and start processing them back to where they come from and make their country pay for it at threat of land takeover.

*Did your white ancestors arrive legally?*\n\n*Trick question, there was no such thing until recently when some white people got overzealous with the stolen land. And Mexicans (who are also North Americans) and South Americans have always traveled throughout these lands. White people have NOT.*\n\n*Not saying white people can’t stay per se, just don’t be heartless mindless hypocrites with the STOLEN land. ESPECIALLY if you STILL treat Native Americans and other Indigenous Peoples like ethnic Mexicans as invaders and so-called “illegal aliens” (as ridiculous and offencive as that term is in the first place) when they’ve always been here and your ancestors came either through invasion or being refugees themselves not that long ago!*\n\n*Remember whose land you are on.*

Exactly where is this mythical land called Canada ? ? seriously , this nation needs people who are willing to work , too many Canadians are just not willing to break a sweat Truth be told this country is one of the most accepting Yet we can't just let the borders become overwhelmed with migrants seeking a better life, Canada is in crisis with few places available to rent and owning a home here is out of reach for most Canadians along with a growing homeless population a huge drug problem The future is very unclear.

We have so much empty land so why deny these poor people the right to call Canada home. I don't know why certain people feel they have right over others but i welcome these people to Canada. Just remember we pay higher taxes, and everything cost more than your bi-weekly pay-cheque but welcome!!

Good idea. Canada have much more empty lands needed to be explore ?

N that’s how u land in prison ladies n gentlemen \nWhat a smf

and people back home in our countries of origin (us immigrants) they think once they land in a western country they'll be employed right there and then ??\n\nEdit: I'm originally from your neighbouring Zambia and flying from Lusaka to Sydney drained my soul this country is very far and the air tickets are high AF ??? another thing that shook me when I moved here is how expensive it is to fly within Australia I mean a flight from Sydney to perth can be up to AU$750 whereas in the US flying the same distance costs like AU$350

An important factor as always been for me the different of murders, mugging, rapes, theft, people killed by firearms each year up to 38 000 a year in the US, add other types of weapons, and many more. In Canada we have clean water, lakes everywhere, we have so much more good timber for building, land for farming etc. The cost of health care in the US and schools can easily ruin them, their parents and families. Canada health care is mostly free for everyone, although seemed slow by many, but is it slow or are they worried to see a doctor to realize nothing is wrong with them ?? Going to see a doctor for a cold, a bad night sleep etc are not really worth a doctors time or theirs. The education system in Canada educate their citizens, watching Youtube videos about Americans being asked common questions like : Which 2 countries border the USA?? Sadly most are morons and think it is Europe and France LOL Parents and children's have a way better time when they give birth and spending time with their families ;-) You might get better pay in the US, but then you have to worry about getting shot, robbed or killed, get your car or stolen, house broken into etc. Plus add all the scammers and scams in the USA, that citizens, non citizens and politicians and city officials and even cops do, no thank you.

Your survival on minimum wage depends on your life style. Most Punjabis in Canada work as Taxi Drivers or Petrol Pumps. They are so shameless that they sell their ancestral land to go to Canada to work at minimal wage. If they have utilized their sills in their land, they could have a better life style.

I really enjoyed living here in Australia.im a registered nurse here in Australia and honestly im earning more money than my friends who are nurses as well in Canada. I managed to buy land and build brand new beautiful house in a sub urb in Victoria in just 500K AUD. many people are leaving Canada now. here are keys where Australia outperforms Canada; salary, benefits, weather, health care, military and we have superannuation here in Australia where the Goverment does save money for you. ticket prices from Aus to Philippines are significantly way more cheaper than Canada. I can go home to Philippines in just 300 AUD and it's a back and forth air trip. I got my PR here in Australia in just a year. I will never never ever leave Australia for Canada...

Canada is a very desirable place. I believe the American government should enter into negotiations with the English crown to purchase those lands.

Sir i am a student. I landed Canada on December and i didn't get arrival stamp on the passport, so is there any problem for a student?

I so pity those two young ladies for what you're going through in Canada. because at the end of the day, no one deserve to be held back from a promising gold-digging career in Canada.\nThis country was made for brave folks that was born in the trenches destined to make it no matter what the outcome is, there is no effort in giving up......God bless our Land, O Canada we stand on guard for thee.????

U being zimba bveyan ur country is a heaven on earth. Thrs hse thrs fd n clothing but u may not get excellent education. So Home land is a heaven on earth I feel, especially for Africas n Indians??

Indian Education is bad but not broken that you have to go on a foreign land and live like this just for a degree

Follow the law of land. Now a days, people are too much promoting their religious beliefs openly.....

No sane society will allow carrying a knife . Police were following the law of the land

Hi me and my wife are planning to land in Canada as PRs for the first time and we would like to have my wife's parents accompany us for the landing (we have a very young baby). Parents will return back after 10 days, how do we approach the letter of invitation in this case? Please advise

In the quran its says respect the law of the land you living in and if you don’t like it move from that land/country this aint a islamic problem its not a refugee problem its like some isis idiology thing and its not just from the muslims its from all type of people all nationa have some extremist group like neo nazis or other groups its just that muslims are the most targeted for some reason

Respect the law of the land bro✌?

No shame eating and enjoying someones land ? . You have fleeing from your home land where your forefathers resting ?? feel shame of you

Okay I’m moving to Canada lol ?\n\nAnd Hey hey hey , NEW YORk is the land of beautiful people ? so many nations here and mixing here ?\nBrooklyn and queens women are the prettiest ❤

To confirm as an American. Yes, it seems like everyone wants to put hot sauce and cheese on everything and it's annoying. The tap water here is bad unless you get it from the fridge or have a filter. Here in Arkansas, I think our spring water is great.\n\nRegarding the city and getting around to restaurants and other areas, pretty much. A good portion of our factories are on acres of land. However, some are still close enough that you can walk to. I'm certain this is hardly different from Canada but we are 97% rural. People think of America as big cities but usually its the local town and a pumpkin patch. When Aba said America is like 40 different countries, he ain't wrong. \n\nFirearms is ingrained in our culture. That's a given. I see a lot of people mention safety and this is what I can say; I felt my safety was compromised by a tornado warning. Trouble can happen but if you don't deal drugs or do some under the table stuff, usually you won't be a victim of a crime. \nI'm planning on owning some land myself so I can shoot on it, farm, and raise a family. Just be independent.

This is a disgrace . You people should stop this. Indians and even Kenyans will not shame their Country so much. Imagine one calling Nigera Trench ,your Father's land !!! Dont come back now continue to be a stranger in foreign nations. Most of this ones their parents are lonely, living pathetically alone in big houses.\nFor folks always sending their children abroad l have a little story for u. There was a man that celebrated his 70th birthday. None of his so called choldren graced the occassion. I don't think they came home till his last day. He has gone to his eternal home now, where l believe he will never be lonely again. So whats all this stress

Dilpreet Kaurs father sold land and tractors to pay her fee. \nShe: Okay lets buy an Iphone and AirPods to look cool.

If Canadian officials can't handle their country, maybe they should join the US and become one country and adopt the American system?! This way Americans will have more land and Canadians will enjoy the American system of government.

Canada land of the mafia …and criminals

Canada land of the criminals

I used to have a lakehouse in Muskoka Ontario and boy was it beautiful land\nThe people there were insanely nice too. Normally when travelling, locals have a stigma around Americans but Ontarians were just so respectful and polite it was honestly touching

A very bad policy that will only serve to exacerbate the affordable housing crisis and create even more social tensions and environmental degradation. The government is increasing the number of immigrants to serve an ideology of ever increasing economic growth, which simply means ever increasing levels of production and consumption with the natural consequences of rising levels of pollution, vanishing pristine areas, shrinking wildlife populations and forest cover, etc, etc. Do we really want to be a country so committed to American style economic policies that we will give away all that is sacred and unique about our land so that the government has a larger tax base?

Here are the solutions to every problem you have stated.\n1. Homelessness \nNot a problem at all, you're not homeless, government's taking care of them, they aren't physically dangerous so what's your problem?\n2. Racism,.\nAhh, if you're worried about racism, you should also worry sexism, class divide, tall people looking down at short people, good looking people looking down upon ugly people... this shit never ends. Ask Michael Jordan his experiences with racism, it all depends on how charming, successful, good looking and smart you are. Since it's silent you don't hear it so no problems here. \n3. Health Care\nGo visit a country that has a much better health care than Canada, such as China for a cheaper price, you get to travel and fix your health, problem solved. \n4. Technology.\nI think we can all agree that techonology is the reason our societies are fucked up. You can never have enough high tech, you can also never not have tech.\n5. Tax is a bitch in Canada, this one just straight up sucks unless if you're super rich and has a corporation, That means you can easily get around it as well. So don't be a middle class I guess?\n6. Employment sucks here, but it depends on your field, some fields pay pretty well, you just don't get the best of anything in Canada. Toronto however has the most fields meaning you can change your career without moving to another city like you do in any other city around the world.\n7. Housing is a bitch in Canada. \nBut the solution is to move to a smaller city or get a job that you work from home. \n\nIf you're not able to find solutions to these problems, don't come to Canada, leave the country if you're here and move to North Korea or any country that doesn't have captalism. Lives over there are more simple, and stop believing the lies your fake news media tells you. Those countries aren't evil, no country could be as evil as the British, Americans and its allies in 1000 years if they tried. You live on a stolen land called Canada (USA and etc) ran by criminals who are here to enslave you. What did you expect your life would be like?

It's New-Fin-Land. Not Finland, or Finlend. FIN. LAND.

Manitoba is great if u bring glue. U can all kinds of things with a full bag of Elmers. Yes in Newfound land. My cousin Rob sats he cant wait for new canadians to come live their permantly.

I came from a 3rd world country in the Middle East. I thought Canada is a developed and first-world country like European countries, the US, Japan, South Korea, Australia, News Land, and Singapore with the western standard, and also I thought is one of the best. The first time 2018 I arrived in Vancouver, I was shocked. I saw a lot of homelessness, trash, crime, ugly urbanism, and rusty houses in downtown and east Vancouver. I saw, homeless people, pooping and peeing everywhere and it's so common. nobody cares. I was shocked again. I endured for 3 years but every day going worst. late in 2022I decided to move to the east coast because I thought that place has a stronger culture. I chose Montreal. I had heard it is the capital of art and civilization in Canada. it was absolutely wrong. Canada is Canada. I was shocked again, again, and again. the wave of homelessness, graffiti, vandalism, bad smell, terrible infrastructure especially roads in or out of the city, and above all, you can see trash everywhere. plastic bags, tissues, water bottles, and disposable cups. You cannot see any street or park or public place without these. This is impossible. surprisingly nobody cares. neither the people nor the government!!!!!!! please, don't be fooled by the advertisement about a good Canada. please, be careful. most of the things about a good Canada are deception. comparing Canada to other developed countries is wrong because Canada is only a developing country with a lot of serious problems. maybe a 2nd world country.

Just more than a year living here in Canada realizations:\n\n1. So cold. Not everytime you can be so productive because the weather is a big hindrance\n2. As an immigrant, you will start from scratch. There will be great opportunities, sometimes really fast promotions or salary increase but workplaces are always short staffed that the amount of work is not worth it with how much the salary is. \n3. Some people still have preferences and you will really feel discriminated.\n4. People are polite, I am very impressed but so individualistic, it's sad. Growing in a country with a very collective type of community, you will really fee the void once you try living in Canada. you can't fully relate to everyone, be free to talk to them about everything because you rarely have common ground or understanding. I feel bad for the Canadians, its so hard to build relationships here in this country. Some of them might never experienced living that everyone of their schoolmates understand and laughs at the same meme because all of them have the same backgrounds and can relate.\n5. Housing prices are so high, it is so surprising for a country with big land mass but with very few population. Like how can be the house this expensive when winter is long, houses are wood and not stone and groceries, mall and other recreational areas are far?\n\nOverall, it's like a big scam going here in Canada. The biggest thing positive here is how powerful the currency is and the country being part of G7 and neighbor of US. Also it has very well preserved environment, scenic views. Aside those, others you can live without.

Why wouldn't any thinking and discerning Canadian consider leaving the land of his birth, albeit with it's natural beauty, but nonetheless saddled with the most disappointing and despicable prime minister that the country has ever been cursed with?

These are probably only few mental lads who are trying to impose sharia law apparently when there isn’t even an Islamic state to begin with so why don’t they follow Islam…it says follow the land on where your living, second of all not all Muslims believe voting is forbidden actually most vote, I get if your trying to stop a fight that’s caused by two drunk people or whatever that’s normal but to hand out punishments according to sharia that’s not permissible…where’s the khalifah ? Where’s the Islamic qadi (judge appointment by the khalifah) and doing patrol so basically a muhtasib…who appointment them? Obv you can still forbid evil like stop evil if you see it which Islam encourages but applying rulings and punishment are a different page

Canada is graduating more doctors now than ever before. The problem is that the good ones leave for better salary and opportunities. What we're left with are the crappy doctors who could not land a job in the private sector if their lives depended on it. Hence the results of our present system. The thing I don't understand is that you have citizens who have been living here for generations, fought and died in wars to protect our prosperity, paid taxes, etc but yet an immigrant will get a GP before them. Something is wrong with that! Nothing against immigrants btw, it's not their fault. But on an ethical level this should not be occurring. Here in Quebec you will also be discriminated against when seeking healthcare if you are not white and French speaking. So don't come here if you don't fall under that demographic. You will be poorly treated.
