Toxicity Scores & Embeddings

How many more to go? 10k? 100k? 1 million to go???😂😂😂😂

Millions of people can’t buy food, homes, pay rent or even enjoy their lives. Drowning in debt for basic goods & we have tax payer money being wasted on this committee to potentially locate less than 50,000 people which reflects 0.12% of the population…. This money would have been better used giving low income ppl a random cash bonus 😩

3 million Visas expired and the liberal government don't know where they are or don't care.

Not even close to enough. We have over a million here that shouldnt be.

As a Canada who speaks both French and English and who follows politics quite closely, I have to say that the headline and some of the reporting here is quite misleading. A reduction in immigration has broad support across Canada. I wouldn't say that notion is dividing the country in any significant way. You do have certain industry groups that disagree, but among the population these reductions have broad support. This is a historic change in public opinion in Canada, but it has been driven by the unprecedented increase in immigration under the last term of the Trudeau government. To put this in context, non-permanent residents in Canada numbered around 1.5 million on Q3 2023, but by Q3 2025, that number sat a just over 3 million. The previous government increased immigration targets by 3 or 4 times over what they had been for years, which caused a number of economic issues. Essentially, the volume was simply too high for the economy and society to support. This was unfair to both Canadians and new comers, many of which could not find employment or afford a decent place to live. The changes being suggested are largely bringing Canada back to what the targets were for over a decade before, though a bit lower to account for the sudden surge. Canada remains one of the most pro-immigration countries in the world. However, and this is where I think DW's reporting is misleading, there is a distinction to be made between policies at the federal level and policies at the provincial level. Immigration, per our constitution, is a federal matter, however, Quebec in particular is distinct from other provinces. I don't mean only culturally and linguistically, but also in the powers that have been devolved to it by the federal government. On the question of immigration, Quebec has more powers and more ability to set its immigration targets and programs than any of the other 9 provinces. The particular program discussed here, the Quebec Experience Program (PEQ), is a particular immigration stream that only existed in Quebec. So what is happening with that program cannot be labeled as a whole-of-Canada thing. Where the changes to the PEQ are controversial, unlike the general changes at the federal level, is that people who immigrated under that specific program were promised certain things. There was a multi-year time line to Permanent Residency and then Citizenship. Many of those people have been in Quebec for 5-8 years already. However, the changes made to the program were done in such a way where people who many years into the program, had gotten an education, started a career, had children, ect. are now being told they can't continue and must leave Canada. There are even stories of people who married Canadians, now have children, and the one parent who was under this program now faces the possibility of having to leave Canada and be separated from their family. All through no fault of their own. That is what many people see as unfair, and I agree, however limiting future applications under the program, to bring in less people, that is not controversial. Canada has no responsibility to bring in people who are not already in Canada, but Canada does have some responsibility towards people who uprooted their lives to move to Canada and built new lives here based on promises and representations made to them by the Canadian and Quebecois governments. We should no simply kick those people out of the country.

India: 1.4 billion people Combined population of USA, UK, Australia, Canada and NZ: 500 million That means you could double the populations of the Anglosphere countries with Indians and still have close to another billion Indians. Or stated another way, you could quadruple the populations of the Anglophone countries with Indians

Trudeau and Singh brought in millions from India.

4.9 million visas expired in Canada over the year. Imagine that? Meanwhile, our healthcare system and infrastructure bares the worst of it. Merit based immigration must be prioritized, not the other.

there're like 5-6 millions migrants that came here since Turdeau. What could go wrong...

we issued 1 million temp visa to ukranians starting right around when things fell apart ...

So there is already 1 million Canadians without work and it's hurting our young Canadians where is the 1 million in waiting getting a job. We need new immigration laws its way out of hand.

It’s not multiculturalism when it’s millions from one specific country, and from a culture that does not assimilate to its host culture.

They are reducing hahahaha. Instead of a Million a year we will bring in 750k instead

1.7 millions of those are Indians.

There are 3.4 million Chinese in Canada

Creating confusion to tell 0.8 million Sikhs living in the Canada . I would say wrong figure. According to Sikh way of life then no more than 2,000 Sikhs in the Canada. I am a first of all human and citizen of this planet then my belief( Equality).

It’s about time and I have nothing to say about bad about immigration as thats how Canada was built and I’ve come to realize that Canadian Citizens are paying the government for rent to live in Canada to a particular group of people who weren’t the First people of Canada especially if the Government allows the information out !! Also 340 million is cheaper than keeping them here

What about the other 5 million..smoke & mirrors

Most Canadians are not against immigration. We just took too many immigrants in there wasn’t enough places for them to live. It wasn’t fair to them or the people living here. Things had to change. It’s not that we don’t want people coming. It’s just that we have no housing housing has to increase by millions of unitsand we were in the process of doing that right now.

I think immigration would result in assimilation if you had small numbers of people from all countries. But many countries around the world have millions of immigrants from only a few countries like India etc.

8 million more to go… pick up the pace

i always wonder, how millions of people from the opposite of the world get into Canada, they all pass trough an aiport, is not like people from Mx, Central and Sout America entering into the USA border, these people get into an airport, but how?

The fact we allowed over 3 million temporary work visa all from India should be looked into! What there are no other countries?

When she says ‘they’ promised a better life, she’s talking about her immigration agent. Canada only ever issued her and millions like her a ‘temporary’ visa. I’m empathetic, I came with a temporary visa originally but I did not ‘invest’ anything into my life but the bare minimum until my status was permanent.
