Pay no Taxes, bro I have paid more tax in Indian rupees equivalent to the number of hairs on my scalp that too just working as a student. We were paying NO TAXES on income taxes of basic income categories. Here it is 20--25% even if u are just earning minimum wage.
Compares tax burdens between India and Canada, arguing Canadian taxes are higher even for minimum wage earners, framing immigration through economic impact lens.

Canada cursed with short sighted political leaders
(ON ALL PARTIES) failed to do the basics to even attempt to diversify the economy.
No new ports, refineries, pipelines Al infrastructure..ect
Those aforementioned issues are compounded by either too much immigration without support or too few immigrants to grow into an economic opening up.
There was a plan years ago that CANADA should have between 70-100 million by this centuries end ..but that ONLY works OR be remotely possible if we started with laying out the economic and societal systems 20 years ago....
We've painted ourselves into not only a corner ..but onto the edge of a cliff
Analyzes immigration policy through economic lens, critiquing lack of infrastructure investment and demographic planning rather than opposing immigration itself.

I hope yall know this invasion has made Canada terrible for the youth, all the youth and even some 20-25-30 yr olds are left jobless by all these Indians taking over all the jobs becoming managers somehow then they ONLY hire Indians once they are manager. I’ve been looking consistently for a full time job for around 8 months now. It’s terrible what this invasion has done, just what they did to the job market alone is enough to want to leave.
Primary focus on job market impact and employment discrimination, combined with demographic anxiety and ethnic targeting.

Call any big Canadian company, Bell, you get someone from the Philippines. Scotia bank, you get someone in Mexico and so on. They make billions and yet decide to hire outside of Canada. But when they hire someone from Canada, you stay on "temporary" status for years. After 2 or 3 years they move you to "temp full time" status and so on..... Most Canadians know this!
Focuses on corporate hiring practices, employment status hierarchies, and economic decisions by major companies regarding domestic versus foreign workers.

It is incredible how some people overlook the fact that the Indian community is a pillar of the Canadian economy. If this community stopped working for just 24 hours, Canada would literally stall. Indian students alone contribute over $22 billion annually to the economy, effectively subsidizing the entire Canadian higher education system. In the healthcare sector, immigrants make up nearly 37% of physicians and 43% of pharmacists, with a massive percentage coming from the Indian diaspora. They are the ones keeping the clinics and pharmacies open for everyone.
The impact stretches into every part of daily life, as over 56% of transport companies and 53% of restaurants are immigrant-run. Without them, grocery shelves would be empty and the supply chain would collapse. Furthermore, nearly half of the tech and software design sector is powered by the immigrant community. Beyond labor, some of the wealthiest people and biggest job creators in Canada are of Indian origin, such as David Cheriton and Prem Watsa, who have invested billions into the country. The Indian community isn't just visiting Canada; they are building, funding, and healing it every single day.
Presents detailed economic data and statistics to argue for the positive contribution of Indian immigrants to Canada's economy.

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.
Comprehensive critique linking immigration levels to housing, jobs, and infrastructure capacity constraints, with economic impact focus.

I still don't understand why we brought them here. Why did we need to make it impossible for our young people to find jobs? It only benefits corporations not the Canadian citizens.

Why do they say we have one of the largest populations in the world. When their own country can't help the population with jobs, affordable housing, medical care, transportation system, over crowding due to population spike, overall provide better living back home. Yet every one of them tries to leave for other countries in the world for a better life. Then why grow the population so rapidly fast! Never understood that part. On the flip side sure grow your population if your country provides better life in terms of all those necessities. But pretty much other countries are baby sitting and raising them yet they brag were the second largest population. Doesn't make sense to brag about that!
Critiques immigration policy by arguing that source countries with poor economic conditions should not export population while bragging about size.

Try finding an apartment!! I had to move from one airbnb yo another to another for months. Meanwhile, getting passed over from one apartment to another. These folks were transferring first and last before even being chosen. They were starting bidding wars over apartments. Paying way more than asked. That's what drove the rent cost through the roof! I have a friend who has been staying at motel for months now trying to find a place. He was turned down for a place with a cosigner that makes 100k a year! It needs to stop!
First-person account of housing market difficulties attributed to immigrant competition, framed as economic impact argument.
