This immigration rule is not being enforced the way the government claims. IRCC is still handing out temporary resident visas—student visas, visitor visas, and visitor visa extensions—too easily.
They’re approving 1-year visitor extensions, then another 6 months, and sometimes even another full year if someone applies again. How is that stricter than before? It’s not.
The government is misleading Canadians when it says immigration rules are tightening. In reality, it’s becoming more lenient, and it’s frustrating for those of us who follow the rules, pay taxes, and contribute honestly to this country.
Detailed criticism of government immigration enforcement practices with specific claims about visa approvals presented without evidence.

Trudeau's words are smoke and mirrors a bit imo. Liberals will go forward with an additional 20% carbon tax dispitie the tariffs occurring. Trump isn't the only one that is harming Canada in one way or another. Trump is forcing Canada to do better with our borders and crisis's that had not been addressed quickly enough. We (Canada) allowed these issues to get out of hand and it took another country to tell us that we needed to do better because the issues affect them as well. I'm stating facts here and now we Canadians will suffer for all of it.
Critiques government policy (carbon tax, border management) and frames Canada's failures as self-inflicted, with some nationalist framing about Canadian responsibility.

The officer should have remained calm if the couple has made some mistake or dont have a document. He would have valid reason for not giving the visa if asked why he did not give. Instead he got angry and behaved unprofessionally.

Very good report. The labour shortage will only grow as the population gets older. The Trudeau government tried to deal with it but may have gone too far. The Carney government is scaling back but eventually the reality of the labour shortage will dictate the direction. Is it dividing the country? Not sure but there are definitely two camps with business supporting immigration.
Analyzes government immigration policy responses to labor shortages, acknowledges trade-offs, and notes political division while maintaining a balanced, analytical tone.

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!!
Criticizes government policy on immigration and housing while expressing concerns about resource allocation affecting healthcare and education systems.

People complaining do not acknowledge that Canada created a corrupt system where educational institutions made money from foreign students, foreign students in return were happy as long as they got to work. At least they are willing to work and pay taxes. In fact, we should look at the root cause of these problems. It is the colleges making money off these immigrants, it is the corporations who do not want to pay decent living wages to Canadians so they are hiring these immigrants at minimum wage jobs. This is called capitalism where the corporate has to save as much money as possible for their shareholders. So yes immigration is a huge problem but immigrants alone are not at fault. The fault lies with the government (federal, provincial and municipal) and the corporate entities in Canada as well.
Systematic critique of government and corporate policies as root causes of immigration problems, rejecting immigrant-blaming in favor of structural analysis.

Trudeau is second to none the worst prime minister Canada has ever had. He’s crippled Canada, turned it into a third world country. Canada has the highest individual debt of any country on earth.

I thought trump would be different this time around.

He became Putins puppet, and he showed the world what a bully is like.
Commenter expresses disappointment with Trump's presidency decisions and policies, critiquing his actions as contradictory to campaign promises and harmful.
