This is the problem: Temporary workers are temporary. Their arrangement stipulates that they work in-country for a number years, and then return home. Yet, many temporary workers are under the impression that they're actually semi-permanent residents. That's why they invest so much, expecting to be able to stay indefinitely. It needs to be made clear that temporary means temporary.

Temporary means temporary

That’s the harsh reality. During Trudeau’s time, Canada saw a significant influx of newcomers, which put pressure on housing, the labour market, and healthcare. It’s normal for a country to tighten immigration for a few years; lower quotas naturally mean higher requirements. Coming on a study permit or a work permit doesn’t guarantee permanent residency. Once a temporary status expires, and if there’s no other legal pathway to stay, the person must leave Canada.

Rich people cannot dictate for all....,they want cheap labor and in the mean time all Canadians struggle because there is no work for us ..... they want temporary workers to exploit and abuse them. if you are Canadian you can't find work

Its a 'Temporary' residence permit...... which by its very name means it will not be forever. Get used to it... I know that under Justin 'Jolson' Troo-Doo it was a free-for-all but that could never last even in Woke Canada.

Temporary means just that go improve your own country

As a non Indian Canadian born and raised I’m disgusted where my country has gone. Our population has doubled since 1980, not by birth rate, but because of the amount of Indians that have immigrated here. Unfortunately, they have no desire to assimilate, they bring their own culture and they stay in their own communities. The government offers tax breaks for businesses, hiring foreign workers over people born in Canada, leaving the youth without any part-time work. On top of that some of my favourite restaurants growing up, I haven’t eaten at in years because it’s been taken over by Indians, the quality of food goes down, you end up getting food poisoning and if you aren’t in their community, you get worse service and get charged more than what an Indian would pay at the same restaurant. They don’t understand cleanliness or sanitation, they leave their garbage and waste on the street and dump it in random locations, and quite frankly have no respect for anyone who lives here or the country that has taken them in. I feel like a minority of my own country and I truly don’t understand what being Canadian means anymore because I’m pretty sure being Canadian is a thing of the past. Most of my friends have moved further north, to Vancouver island or moved out to the prairies to get away from them and higher prices as everything gets more expensive, thanks to our government, caring more about immigrants than citizens. When a family gets accepted to come here they bring their parents their aunts and uncles their brothers and sisters on temporary visas, they also collect social assistance as soon as they arrive and when their visas expire, they have no desire to go back, which has resulted in thousands of illegals remaining here. I mean I get it. Why would you go back when you’re getting treated better here and are given food, housing and an allowance every month but it’s gotten to a point where India outnumbers Canadians. I want them all sent back.

Temporary means temporary, not permanent.

The government should take to Media and Confirm these who overstay will be Deported! Temporary means Temporary!

The lawyer is a funny guy .. looks like they make a lot of money with this people and want not lose the business 😂. Temporary means you are here for a serrated time period. Is this over there are 3 options … 1st get a visa extension … 2nd get your PR ( if you fulfill the criteria ) 3rd leave the country. And one thing more Canada own you nothing! No Canada gave you a chance to come here to this country temporarily! You know from the beginning what this means. Don’t cry and say how bad Canada is ..

Temporary must mean temporary. Enforce the law like ICE does in the U.S.

Temporary means a specific amount of time! Once the time has run out that means one needs to prepare to return to where one came from. Not assuming one has automatically gained citizenship finishing the temporary workers permits/visa. Time's up,time to carry on!

Why is it a “crime”? What does temporary worker mean to you? This programme is to fill a temporary shortfall. This is the chance that you take. Wake up. We’re not stupid. Fed up.

Temporary foreign workers. The term temporary means not permanent!! You have to go, you have to go. Of the system wasn’t so abused by millions in the country illegally this might not be happening. Mass migration is not working. You can’t just let anyone in.

What’s does the word “temporary “ means you dummies

The Liberals and their woke ideology are ruining Canada. Canada's aging population means we need immigration, but not when things like housing, jobs, and healthcare etc are already beyond maxed out. They've been bringing in too many 'refugees'-unvetted and likely a large portion of which may not actually be refugees, and then there's the ridiculously high number of 'temporary foreign workers' - the majority of these are people with values, hygiene and morals that are not acceptable or cohesive in our country. Unfortunately many are muslim and have beliefs in sharia law which dates back to the 1400's and is primitive and contrary to our Western values and morals. I am hoping Canada is not too far gone to save (although I have my doubts).

As many are currently finding out in the US, “temporary” means “temporary”, not “permanent”. Was this problem due to language translations, or what?

What an awful piece of journalism. Uhh look at graph go up! Up mean bad! Claims of an increase in suspicious asylum claims. Any sources? What is the definition of a suspicious asylum claim? Housing prices go up due to increased immigration. Any sources? Do corporate landlords stalling out the market have anything to do with this? Does anyone actually think that "low skill" workers taking up "Canadian teenagers'" jobs are able to afford a house? Temporary foreign workers taking up jobs. Any background on the temporary worker program? Does this seem like a policy failure or is it the immigrants' fault that corporations are abusing their labor to save money? A+ reporting here, guys!

Temporary means temporary. Send people home. Visa's are expired and expiring. 👋

Will everyone quit calling them “migrants”. Migration by definition means the people come here for a season temporary, then go back home. These are illegal immigrants, they intend to stay permanently.

Send them all home! Temporary means just that! Temporary! Trudeau is an idiot he needs to be deported back to Cuba!permanently!

I have a lot of sympathy for these people, especially considering many gave up everything they had to pay smugglers to get this far while our government was effectively letting everyone in while offering additional incentives such as money and temporary housing. That said, if we don't have borders we don't have a country. Add on the massive welfare state that they will all become burdens on, either immediately or eventually, and it becomes clear to anyone with a little bit knowledge and common sense that the policies of the Biden administration that allowed things to get this bad, if not stopped immediately, would mean the end of the middle class, the further impoverishment of the lower class and massive benefits for the wealthiest among us. And when I say wealthy I'm not talking about the guy making 7 figures. I mean those who control billions, either directly or indirectly. You know, the same people who have the power to influence political parties to enact such policies and push narratives by the corporate media that state anyone who questions the policy is racist, greedy, heartless, or xenophobic.

I mean as someone who has worked on the other side of things (as in deporting) the comprehension level of Indians at the immigration counter is appalling they would be asked one thing and all they would answer is but I have hotel bookings and return flight tickets… and this is not a language barrier as I interpret the interviews live…. Like why are you not listening to what is being asked? You guys need to work on your comprehension skills that’s all - Respectfully a fellow Indian.\n\nPS: Pro-tip from an insider every country just wants rock solid assurance that anyone coming in on a temporary visa would go back to their respective countries. Prove that. Simple. ?

Temporary means for a short period and Canadians need jobs also sorry but you must go back you cant come to a Country and make demands.

What do you mean, new hurdles? These are people who come on temporary visas with the intention never to leave, they are ILLEGAL. That they are made to leave when their visas expire is not a hurdle, it is the LAW.

Temporary does not mean permanent. Canada can not support this mass immigration crisis. Canadians are suffering from the open floodgates. It's about time the doors close

This is a funny videos channel. Similar to just for laughs gags. Presenter with her unique expression and pronunciations makes it even more comic. Full of jokes. \nFirst when you say folks are in temporary visa means they are in Canada in TEMPORARILY. check the meaning for temporary. Need to go back. She says Folks coming to canada for better life, job, education, medical facilities. Now those facilities are not available for canadian citizens, why wud temp folks get these basic amenities. \nSecond, you dont have to scare canadian govt and ppl that immigrants will go elsewhere in the south where they get PR easily. On another video same presenter says US states also sending ppl out. Why wud you misguide with fake news. Trump is also taking actions on the border security and welfare of their citizens. \nGood luck with your faake news.?

Canada is building a tonne of housing as is, a bit less than in the past, so yes, issues with the growth of red tape, zoning, development taxes, etc should be addressed, but the problem has mainly been that the population has been growing at an exponential rate, in the past decade. The construction workforce actually doesn't have that many immigrants - around 77% are Canadian born, compared to 73% of the overall workforce, and I suspect the 23% that are immigrants are probably mostly immigrants that have been here a while, with very few temporary workers (which are mostly in retail/commercial services, elder care, and agriculture). That means immigration has been a bigger problem for increasing housing demand, compared to any benefit to increasing the supply through increasing construction workforce, especially when you consider that the size of the construction workforce is proportional to the total population, while the housing demand is more correlated to population growth. \n\nThere is also the differentiation between expanding infrastructure/housing supply, vs improving/maintaining it. It would not be a bad thing if we were able to shift some of the construction workforce towards improving our stormwater infrastructure, fixing roads, and building transit alternatives (improves quality of life), rather than just building more and more new roads and homes just to keep up with population growth (maintains quality of life).

Temporary means temporary. Time to leave.

I mean welcoming 180k PR from one country alone didn't help, and like half of temporary residents from one country, essentially low productivity labor too which killed the entire immigration system. Not only that it increased racism.

This is entitlement , your here for a job visa if its done its done. Meaning your not needed. If your paid for taxes. That will be gone at the end of the year. Why is it. That the other countries that also come there for work visa's and canceled have already gone home ,yet the indians from india force their way. Temporary work visa is not entitled to permanent residency or citizenship.

Temporary means TEMPORARY ….deportation is an inappropriate word

canada has nothing to do amongst you guys. follow the rules mostly of you perhaps gradauted knows and understand the sysytem. Find and look The Meaning of TEMPORARY in the dictionary. so you can be followed and not lost and again if you knew your qualified go and apply for legal basis. that is why we have Immigration.

Sorry to break it to you. But whatever information your country is saying about how to permanently stay in Canada is LYING TO YOU. Rather than protesting, you all should have read the fine print from the official CANADIAN government.\n\nYou are here on just an INTERNATIONAL TEMPORARY STUDENT VISA. Temporary does NOT mean permanent. Once that expires THAT IS IT. You go back to your home country and apply what you studied in Canada over there!\n\nThen you wait in line like everyone else to properly apply for permanent residence. And here’s another thing: if you gotten approved for PERMANENT RESIDENCE, good for you. But with that status, YOU CANNOT VOTE IN CANADA!\n\nStop ruining it for others that are trying to permanently come here the RIGHT WAY. You’re NOT GOING TO GET AN EXTENSION ON EXPIRED FOOD GOING BAD. AND YOUR TEMPORARY STAY IS NOT GOING TO EXTEND. You are guests in Canada according to your status. And you’re being extremely rude with your protests that’s not gonna get you anywhere. How would you feel if a guest at your house is being rude?

The changes are returning to 1990 levels. When immigration was CONTROLLED. Canadians cannot continue to constantly be overwhelmingly WELCOMING when it means DESTROYING our own limited Social Services, Hospitals, Rentals, Etc. We have our own Citizens in Tents, our own Seniors not receiving the Cash they NEED to live WELL. Your Immigration was temporary for temporary immigration. This does not mean you are Canadian with a Passport.

All International students coming to Canada they will never want to leave, International students false to here so young Canadian can not find the jobs. It hurting young Canadian and costing of living. Temporary is mean Temporary, International students have no rights to stay here...

THE ERROR WAS.\n THERE WAS NO CAP\n\n Just be Exact, and\n Clear.\n USE CORRECT WORDING TRUTHFULLY.\nTemporary means Temporary.

Temporary or student visa means finish your shit then u go home

Yeah. Go home you guys. Temporary Means Temporary.lol.?

Temporary is mean Temporary so they have leave when is the term is done, work permit take over the regular job and all the young people can not find the job and why should we help other people, when the people here need the job. The government right now is a idiot and cannot ran the country......he only care for himself not for the Canada

Deport them all! Temporary never means citizenship.

For them Temporary means Permanent and to become Citizen,hahahaha.

As an immigrant and I speak for all the first immigrants that came to Canada many years ago, we followed the rules and never demanded anything that we are not entitled to. No protesting and all this bullshit! Temporary means temporary! Get the fukk out!!!

do u know what the meaning of temporary and students only ..??its mean u have no guarantee that u become a permanent resident o canadian citizen...

I'm first nations there sign saying stolen land has nothing to do with them and the word temporary means temporary so it's time to go home

Just get out of the country you’re literally called temporary. That means you’re gonna have to go at some point.

Temporary means NOT FOREVER

Omg why you demanding so much they welcome and thats not forever it means temporary

Temporary means exactly that...Temporary!

Why are you so focused on international students and temporary workers? If people from Mexico stop coming to work for Canadian farmers during harvest time, no one will want to work for such low wages as they do. This means farmers would have to pay more to local workers, which raises two questions: Can farmers afford to pay more to local workers, and are you prepared for food prices to rise even higher?\nSo why doesn't Rebel News focus on all the 'refugees' who enter Canada, don't work, and receive various types of financial support? Many of them don't start working, and the same goes for their children and grandchildren.\nAlso, this narrative about 'pooping on Wasaga Beach' is part of shaping public opinion. I honestly didn’t expect that from Rebel News. I’m not a big fan of what’s happening in Canada, but it’s not the fault of Indian people. (Just to clarify, I’m not from India.)
