There's lots of Indian lawyers who specialize in immigration

A clueless immigration minister fits in well with a clueless electorate . The illegal alien extortionists that have been caught in murder and assault with ilegal handguns have claimed asylum and have about six years of taxpayer funded lawyers to help them remain in Canada. Tim Hortons laid off Canadian full time workers and imported temporary part time workers and the tacpayer pays half their wages. A company worty of a nation wide boycott.

Blame your federal government leadership, dirty immigration lawyers, and the ecosystem who thrives on weak loop holes in the Canadian system. Shame on the Canadian government

Appluses for hearing one side of the story. Care to hear the perspective of an Indian Immigrant in Canada? Then read on. I believe most people are barking up the wrong tree. As a legal immigrant who migrated here with a nuclear family only on merit, I believe I earn the privilege to voice my thoughts here. First of all, rather than blaming the hoards of Indian immigrants, why don't anyone ask questions to the people who allowed it? Why not ask the politicians who vetoed it? Why not ask the police who is not able to stop reckless drivers? Why not ask the minister's who allow hospitals to run under staffed? USA has a massive Indian diaspora. But they are mostly IT workers and CEOs and Doctors. So who was at mistake of bringing illiterate, uncouth Indians to Canada? After earning all the required merit, and paying as much taxes from my family that is equivalent to minimum wages of at least 4 people, it hurts me to see undeserving people taking benefits of the system, while we get the short end. No one seemed too concerned when Indian students brought in so much money and revived some dead economies. No one blamed thousands of Punjabi businesses bringing in dollars into the economy. India, with its 150 billion people has s#!to eaters and people who can buy out Canada. You only see the bad. Press the government to bring in good people. Doctors, engineers, lawyers, scientists, business people, who will add value to the country and generate you jobs and salaries and grow this country. Not cooks and drivers only. Khalistan and Pro-BJP factions are both bad outside India. They all should go back and let the peace loving Indians and Canadians live here in peace. I don't hate anyone, but just the people who make my home country and me look bad. We ain't that bad after all.

You should go just north of the Pearson airport to The (Great Punjab Business Centre) there is like 20+ immigration lawyers on 1 plaza and trucking school there is also another plaza that looks just like this one in Surrey BC- (Payal Business Centre) both of these places have the biggest Indian population's no other culture needs this many immigration lawyers

host is east indian and an immigration and a biased lawyer reporting....you do the math and let me know how objective reporting this is inherently

Immigration lawyer that’s about as bias as you can get

of course it's immigration lawyers lobbying paid for this skewed news piece.

Immigration lawyer?????? What a guest.. You must be kidding

human trafficking is illegal, immigration lawyers are legal

Immigration lawyers are part of the problem.

lost me at only "1 million" and again at "the cut back in staffing". Nothing about the student visas fraud, ELMIA fraud, open borders that have created. Probably a lawyer that makes big dough from mass immigration. This "news" downplays it big time. No shame

We need to have what they need ? How about what we need? I don't care what immigration lawyer says. It's his business. Who said that studying abroad gives you a right to stay there? Same with temporary workers. It is TEMPORARY. It shouldn't be automatic for students, they get an education and we choose who we want to stay.

Let me guess, the Canadian Immigration Lawyers Association, doesn't think there's enough immigration. 😂

Canadians are without jobs. This lawyer’s income depends on immigration.

Canadians DON"T WANT or NEED immigrants. Corporations and immigration lawyers need them. Citizens don't.

Guest is an immigration lawyer. Hardly a neutral observer.

Why are international students being told they might be able to stay?!?????!? You're a scumbag Mr. Immigration lawyer! After they graduate and leave, they can apply like everyone else and get in line. Their time as a student should not count for anything. Why are we fasttracking bringing grandparents of new Canadians or PR's? They don't pay taxes and put extra burden on healthcare and CPP. PR's should not be able to bring other extended family members at all. Canada's immigration system hit the breaking point 10 years ago when that failed part-time high school drama teacher took the wrecking ball to it.

having an immigration lawyer talk about high immigration numbers is like a real estate agent arguing housing prices should keep rising — it directly benefits their business, so their opinion isn’t neutral expertise, it’s aligned with self-interest

I have no words to describe the immigration lawyer guy. I'll let others do that. Canada owes these people nothing. They are here on a temporary basis and now must leave. I suspect some will try to stay but most will go. Their options are miserable and likely far worse then in their home countries.

"One Edmonton immigration lawyer" should acknowledge the "real life", "genuine" "harshest stories" that are being experienced by Canadians as a result of the massive numbers of immigrants that have taken up residence here in the past ten years. Housing, jobs, health care... we've watched Canadians go homeless, jobless, and die in line to see a doctor.

Big slap 👋 to this immigration lawyer who wants to warm his pockets at expense of Canadians Canadians will be very happy when Cbsa officers will act as ice and remove illegal aliens

The name should tell these people everything. It was TEMPORARY, it ended, time to go home. Canada owes them nothing. Why is that so hard to understand and why these immigration lawyers have a problem following the law?

The immigration and HR Lawyers are the main people who fight for wrong people to be in the country. They dont get paid if the illegal aliens are removed when their application is found inadmissible

Government is taking away immigration lawyers bread and butter. How dare they? Only 18,000? What is this? Had Trudeau agreed to be the governor of our 51st state (I'm dying laughing), ICE will already be swarming Canada.

Immigration lawyers are bottom feeders

Deport 18,000 and let in 1 million. Immigration lawyers have created a very lucrative racket.

This is an immigration and refugee lawyer who owns a law firm and actively represents refugees/asylum seekers and immigrants from other countries who want not wish to become fully Canadian citizens My very important question to her As the principle Is how are you paid for your legal services and representation Lawyers always tell me they can be referred to by Law society of Canada For a 30 minute free legal consultation But once that is paid out by that association that is where lawyers and para legal professionals pay dues to join Then it’s up to those professionals to charge Hourly fee flat rate And All additional charges associated with the file/case law once opened and documents signed So how much does it cost to 1. Refugees claims 2. Asylum seekers claims 3. Immigration claims 4. Detainee claims 5. Deportation claims in the form of Appeals How many can they have Who pays these professionals? When media such as CBC Also government employees who are paid by the federal government Do not ask these questions Which are again Paid to NGOs By us poor taxpayers!!!!! Towards these professionals who represent economic migration and only cost us Canadians more money

Deport the immigration lawyers.

Ctv only brings immigration lawyers to talk about immigration. Funny

Canada has to take these money from board officers, who allowed them to come in Canada, from immigration and refugees workers who allowed them to stay in Canada, from immigration lawyers. But not from our money. People hard working every day and pay taxes not for mistakes of immigration and refugee workes. If this ministry so expensive- it is necessary to close this ministry.

Immigration lawyer talking about immigration not biased at all 😂

ho hum - why does private commercial media get an immigration lawyer to explain the outcome of government policy?

Are Canadians supposed to weep over it? Deport all illegals and criminals ASAP. And sue those bogus immigration consultants and lawyers for making money at the expense of Canada.

I want to hear conservatives speak their mind instead of immigration lawyers

Certified specialist in immigration law ? What does that mean ? An online course ? Is he a lawyer? I think I’m gonna be a certified specialist too

Instead of interviewing immigration lawyers, maybe you should interview Canadians instead. We don’t need talent in this country. There is plenty of unemployed talent here already. It’s called Canadians.

The entitlement of these temp workers and students is unbelievable. The only people who profit from this insane immigration are lawyers and fake colleges. 30 years ago an immigrant had to be a professional with proven skills, you had to speak the language and be ready to integrate and contribute. Now? They do nothing, get everything and demand MORE. STOP immigration.

It's actually good for their native countries to have qualified and educated citizens to uplift type 3 countries to 2nd and 1st types. It is unfortunate for immigrant lawyers, but they can always change their emphasis of law.

All need to go these immigration lawyers give all the wrong information just for money

Going back to their countries is a tragedy? Why? It is their countries! Can Canadians go to their countries & get scholarships & benefits & citizenships? No? Why’s that not a tragedy? The only opinion voiced on that tv is on the beneficiaries & the immigration lawyers that make bank off of trading in humans, why are u guys so biased against & isolated from this country’s ppl?

Immigration lawyer consultant are the one becomes millionaire here who knows they are all connected to the corrupt immigration worker just asking

Immigration lawyer looks very sad

I'm no expert, but it's obvious that mass immigration is detrimental to any country. Years ago, Canada seemed like a dream country, but in the last few years, it looks like the homelessness, crime etc. has increased and the housing prices are insane. I have a Sikh friend who lived there for about 5 years but moved back to India due to the high cost of living and quality of life there going downhill. He has a much better, low stress life back home. I think there should be stricter measures to immigration. For example: Let doctors, nurses, engineers, lawyers in more easily, but those that are coming as students and going to work as cashiers, should be limited.

The Canadian immigration system is designed to take low quality immigrants. It encourages unethical behavior and there is widespread fraud in the IELTS exams, refugee lawyers, immigration consultants.

I moved to Brampton got married w White lady got citizenship & collected Govt money all along 😅 & Govt appointed free Lawyer for my immigration case; now im divorced & am sponsoring my whole family & past wife from Punjab..all is well 😊

Indian lawyers and law makers are behind running fraudulent immigration scams in Canada, including government agencies ,no student work permits, spousal work permits or or temp work permits should be given to Indians, most of documents provided by Indians are fake such as education certificates, work experience, income, savings, birth certificates, marriage certificates ,English test reports ,Indian government and private companies make huge income from sending Indians to Canada.

The schools took in billions and made the municipalities take on the burden of rental demands, cost of food and resources. Sue the schools for not providing housing! Sue the immigration lawyers for scamming the students for $3k to $5k! Time for a Trump like investigation! Luckily for Canada, we provide ZERO jobs unlike the Tech Cos in the USA!

I am an immigrant myself since 2000. believe me, those new immigrants we all have issues with. they all know the system much better than most non-immigrant lawyers here in Canada.

I became homeless after spending over 2 months in the ICU of a Toronto hospital barely walking in was taken to a Toronto city shelter and for 5 years I've been in 5 different Toronto shelters in what seemed like a blink of a eye every shelter became 80% north African Muslim men ,they were given cash allowances to buy their own food $80 a day plus welfare cheques once a month boosted up with TTC allowance $157 clothing allowances and yes they were all given money to buy laptops and smart phones apparently so they can keep in touch with their families back in Africa, in the last shelter I stayed in there was only 6 white Canadian born homeless people living there and 94 north Africans whom we started to notice were being housed only to have the next one take up their cott space housed yes and when we started looking into how they were getting housed so fast when we were apparently on a 37,000 name waiting list for housing with our housing workers telling us it will take 10 years if we are lucky then we found out about the secret housing program that these fresh off the boat immigrants were getting market value apartments of their choice you pick the government pays one African we befriended ( he wasn't a believer in Islam shush or they'll kill him) got a 1 bedroom condo apartment over looking Toronto's Island airport $2,700 a month and the government payed for all his furnishings, so now we knew and we approached the on site housing workers asking why we weren't told about COHB at first they tried to deny it existed but researching we had all the information first these COHB forms were to be handed out to those with seniority length of stay so as to cut out on abuse being that they are worth over $250,000 after ten years of paying your rent as in free housing for life , then we discovered the staff were making false entries on our files claiming some of us lost our seniority for fighting claiming we were kicked out for 14 days others for smoking violations what they didn't think we knew was on admission to any shelter you sign a agreement that they are videoing you and keeping a file on you that also stated we are allowed to have up to date copies of our files then during the 2 weeks we were supposedly kicked out we asked for the videos from that period once they realized we had a advocate working for us who a l so supplies lawyers to us should we need so they got caught then management called us all up for a meeting and that's when we hit him with a bombshell yes the shelters are staffed with immigrants from the same African countries this Hoard is coming from and we have a sworn statement saying they are charging $10,000 for these guaranteed housing forms yes $10,000 that's what our none Muslim African shelter friend payed for his form and why he's now living free in easily close to a million dollar condo and believe me the cars parked there show it, ok so after we busted them guess what 6 whites who were all born in Canada and have lived a average of 3.5 years in a shelter all got housed in apartments of our choosing mind we did get ours fully furnished by the government like all these illegal Christian hating islamists get free housing free food free clothing free medical free dental free prescription drugs and a free huge monthly welfare cheque Rebel news please contact us we want every Canadian to know what's going on and how we Canadians are being left out, p.s just go to any money transfer business at the end of the month and you'll see line ups of these north Africans wiring money back to their wives and families even boxing up all the mountains of free clothing sending it to Africa same what they're doing with all the prescription drugs they are getting for free everything is about making money taking taking taking not putting anything back , now I sleep soundly no one stealing my belongings no more catching a different cold every week no more being called a filthy infidel which seems to be their favorite word COHB look that up and if your living paycheck to paycheck working 2 jobs just get to a shelter say one with 94 Africans who will all be housed shortly leaving you the most seniority easy peasy but remember to keep a eye on your file for false entries or borrow $10,000 to buy one
