😑Housing crisis - they are a BIG reason for this. >>> Mortgage fraud - Watch the CDC report. They flooded Canada, try to snatch up all the houses through fraud and to rent out as rooming houses. This reduces available properties, and prices skyrocket. When you have tens of THOUSANDS of people in ONE community doing this, why are you scratching your head that there's a housing crisis?
Canada flung open the door to people from the scam capital of the world, and now when Canadian kids are polled, they're saying they're giving up on buying a house! Disaster.
Now, to fix the problem, you have to reduce their numbers to reduce demand, but reducing demand reduces home prices, so what about all those people who bought at inflated prices? Many homeowners are losing their shirts.
So now, to fix the problem, Canadians are enduring GENERATIONAL financial damage, that will take decades to fix, and some people may never recover from it.
I'm not against immigrants, but this particular group has devastated Canada with their greed and corruption.
Focuses on housing market impacts and economic consequences of immigration, with unsubstantiated claims about mortgage fraud and demographic targeting that constitute misinformation.

Whatever happened to private insurance? If they can’t afford to look after themselves, bill their governments. We are subsidizing foreign governments that are happy their populations are our problem now.

Canada's supply is manipulated by greedy business groups to jack up prices, but regardless, the outcome is that you have no capacity, hence no point bringing more people until the situation stabilizes for existing ones.

Immigration is a scam. There's very little, if any, economic benefit from immigration, and what benefit there is has been shown to almost always be captured by those who hired immigrants and the immigrants themselves, while passing on all the economic, social, and environmental burdens to our poor communities. Let's face it, immigration is a transfer of money from labor to capital it's about 3 things: profit, power, and punishment. We need to have an immigration moratorium. We also need to focus on re-migration for those who do not assimilate. Of course, none of this will happen until immigration becomes a problem for those at the top who have been pushing it down our throats for decades.
Primarily argues that immigration lacks economic benefit and transfers wealth from labor to capital, with secondary policy critique and calls for moratorium and re-migration.

Employers choose Indian students over local Canadian students bc they only have to pay them half as much. The other half of their wages are paid by us tax payers through a subsidy program. There's nothing wrong with good honest working people moving to a new country and living and working like the locals. But when you live OFF of the locals tax dollars or cheat the system, it is not going to be healthy for immigrants, Canadians or the economy.
Focuses on wage suppression, tax subsidies, and economic impact of hiring foreign workers over local candidates.
