The government was lying all along. The influx of these migrants are a net loss for Canadians. We don’t need 2.9 million to come change our society. It’s almost 8% of our total population. They are here to replace us, not to strengthen us.

2.9 million housing issues have been resolved for some homeless Canadians. There is a shortage of high-school science teachers. Students have to wait more than a year to get grade 11 physics and other science courses like biology. I think 2.9 million would free up some classes. It's kind of difficult to make doctors in Canada, if you don't have your high-school science. I hope this will free up the healthcare system because it is pure garbage. I have been waiting a year and a half for a surgery! Joke Government. Corrupt and Incompetent! Polygraph, Audit, Drug Test all of Government!! It's a DISGRACE!!

How is CBSA going to track all of these people down? 30K deportations in a year is a lot less than 2.9 million. Somehow I think this is going to a difficult problem to resolve. CBSA is not staffed for this.

Gentle reminder that as of late 2024–2025, approximately 2.5 to 2.9 million people of Indian origin live in Canada, representing roughly 0.18% to 0.2% India's total population. Canada couldn't even handle half a percentage of jeet.

2.9 million people need to sent back their countries. Canada has become a third world toilet.

2.9 million jobs just entered the Canadian economy. 2.9 million houses and apartments opened up...

Deport all 2.9 million of them.

2.9 million people can lawsuit against Trudeau because Trudeau simply allowed too many temporary visas that should not be allowed from the first place. For example, Trudeau allowed visas to allow people to work for minimum wage jobs in Canada or jobs with no trade skills., and even if skilled workers were invited, their jobs are not in high demand or about to be replaced by AI in a couple of years. Every year over 100,000 jobs will be replaced by AI starting from the late 2026, starting from the transportation industry, customer services, office jobs, IT jobs, and education; soon healthcare and engineering as well. No developed country needs workers anymore except very few experts and there will be massive layoff, not because of the economic crisis, but because of AI. In Japan, China, and South Korea, AI are widely used and now young people with a master or PhD degree can't even get a job.

We all know that we will NOT see those 2.9 Million leaving Canada.... Just like the 'student visas' and all the other visas these people get - its just to get IN - once in then they NEVER plan to leave. Watch your crime levels go the Moon folks!

Those same 2.9 million will claim for asylum and refugees status

all 2.9 million of them will stay without proper papers, thanks to the liberals

Why there are 2.9 million temporary visas from the first place ??!!! May I understand??!! Is this type to scam third world students ??!!!

Will never happen. The Liberals will never be able to find where these 2.9 million people are. And if the do find any of them, they will not deport them. Creating stricter policies, is just "virtue signalling" to pretend they care. In reality they will not be enforcing these policies.

Canada’s government is out of control. Immigration levels have exploded far beyond what housing, jobs, and infrastructure can support. With roughly 2.9 million temporary residents in the system, affordability has collapsed rent, food, and services are stretched to the breaking point. When permits expire, people must return home as the system was designed, not be quietly rolled over. Immigration has to match capacity. Bring people when there are jobs and homes not when the cost of living is already crushing everyone. Fix Canada first, then expand responsibly.

Gotta remove 2.9 million and charge all the visa mill immigration lawyers

We have to deport 2.9 Million back to India right now, because none of them speak English go to food banks 7 times a week then brag on Instagram drive brand new BMW

The exact same thing is unfolding in Australia. I live in Perth, W.A and we have something like 800 Indian migrants per day moving here, yet we are a city of 2.9million. The demographics are changing rapidly, they are making the Chinese look like a minority!

It’s not a post covid thing. it’s a government of canada thing. We’ve increased our population by 2.9% (over 1 million people )in the last year alone. It has to stop. Here in Nova Scotia our homeless rate has doubled since 2015…rent and home ownership In Halifax is almost impossible now. Tent cities are growing in Halifax like i’ve never witnessed before. In just 2 years our residents without a doctor went from 85k to 150k. And our government here in NS wants to double our population by 2060. ? And it’s damn near impossible to get a decent job ffs …wages are shit. Everyone’s getting poorer and our quality of life is getting worse.

You forgot to list Las Vegas in your list of largest US Cities. The Las Vegas Metro area has 2.9 million people (while the city of Las Vegas itself is small, the real city is the metro area that contain Henderson, Sumerlin, Enterprise, Paradise, North Las Vegas, Green Valley, etc.) Your list excluded Las Vegas because Las Vegas is made up of a collection of cities not just one. I moved from Canada to the USA many years ago and the USA is definitely a better place to live. There was too much discrimination in Canada and the Canadian Healthcare system is just an excuse for you to not get any medical treatments. There is no freedom of speech in Canada and they use the high taxes to rob you. Maybe for all these reasons, the U.S. Economy is the strongest and most robust in the world. Don't take my word for it, Elon Musk is widely recognized as one of the smartest people in the world and he moved from Canada to the USA just like I did.
