Oh man, as soon I saw the title and the thumbnail, I just knew the comments were going to be insane 😂 As much as Canada is lauded as a nice and welcoming country, it's open season when it comes to Indians. I work in a typical corporate environment, where all conversations are filtered through a layer of professionalism, and just the other day my director made a joke about how he's glad we don't have Indians on our team. Everyone laughed and we moved on as if it was a completely normal thing to say about an ethnic group. You know it's bad when both the conservative boomers and the liberal millenials/gen Z all agree we have too many Indians.

unbelievable!!! The man is a convicted felon, who said out his own mouth. He was gonna overthrow the government. It’s already been 500 years man. They still haven’t given the people who built this country anything what makes you think they’re gonna give you anything now! Unbelievable! Only in America!!!? wow!!!!!!!’ oh by the way, are you Trump people who want jobs that are already here you’re just not looking for the people that you’re trying to replace just keep one thing in mind when you replace those people pretty soon you’re worn out they’re gonna be replacing you too with another immigrant who wants your lifestyle and what you have they don’t want to give the people who are native here born here live here because they don’t want it. The land already belong to the natives and they took it and you wanna migrate over here and think you’re getting something better.

Oh man, this all sounds very worrisome...\n\nI've been working together remotely with one of Sony Pictures Imageworks's supervisors and she's been super happy with me and my work. She's switching companies soon since she found an even better opportunity elsewhere and is already making steps getting me on the team. She starts the hiring process in August.\n\nShe said I should fix a holiday visa and that if the company is still happy with me after 12 months they would most likely sponsor my stay. So yeah, everything seemed pretty solid!\n\nBut now that I'm watching this video I'm getting scared that I might be missing something that wouldn't allow me to work there. Could anyone perhaps share there view on my situation?\n\nBy the way, not sure if this is handy to know but I would be moving to Vancouver. \n\nMuch appreciated, thanks!!
