What, did he think he would be given a free ride? Does he actually think immigrating to a new country wasn't going to cost him anything? How many years did he live in the US? And now, in Canada for the last 10+ months, yet he can't speak a fucking word of English? \n\nNow he complains that the process is taking too long, yet, had he immigrated legally (as he should have), it would have taken FAR longer and would have to spend that time inside his home country...\n\nI really don't get his attitude, he feels as though he's entitled to immigrate to the US, even though he made absolutely no effort in doing so legally, made absolutely no effort into learning the most widely spoken language on Earth, so he became a criminal by illegally crossing the border and living in the US for years... Then, when he's about to get busted and deported back to his home country, he pulls the exact same thing, illegally crosses the border into Canada, taking the money he's stolen from the US with him, while STILL unable to speak either official languages in Canada where speaking Spanish is about as useful as a condom in a lesbian orgy, nor making any effort into actually learning said languages, and tries to claim refugee status? Refugee status for what? He's not fleeing any war or conflict, the only thing he's fleeing is deportation to his home country from the US because he crossed the border into the US and lived there ILLEGALLY, he's a fucking criminal... And yet, he STILL feels he's entitled to cross the border into Canada and thinks they'll welcome him with open arms...\n\nWhere do these people get the idea that they have the RIGHT to just enter whatever country they wish without having to go through the immigration process? These processes are there for a reason, we don't allow just anyone to immigrate here...\n\nImmigrating to the US is a PRIVILEGE, NOT A RIGHT... Immigrating to Canada is a PRIVILEGE, NOT A RIGHT... \n\nThe fact that this guy and his family have entered 2 countries ILLEGALLY and stayed within its borders ILLEGALLY for all this time, and in both cases, REFUSED to learn the language, and when he was about to be deported back, he fled and kept hiding from immigration officers... That makes him and his family CRIMINALS, and rightfully so... They should be found immediately, arrested and subsequently deported back to the US to face whatever charges, and then deported back to his home country... Period...

Yet Canada takes in terrorist with open arms but won't help someone like the guy in the video

Canada takes their borders very seriously. And they are firm on their immigration rules. \nUnless your a Muslim , u ain’t getting in.

Get out! Canada doesn't even take care of its own aboriginal people. No fresh water, homes for shelter, or schools. This border crossing that people are getting away with is disgusting. Canada shouldn't have free borders like that. What are they doing to resolve this? Canada needs to take care of its aboriginal people. Period.

Spent years in the US, spends years in Canada. Doesn't even speak English.\n\nIntegration is working you guys!

We need the same approach when it comes to Syrians in Canada. Every immigrant takes work from a Canadian. Unlike Canadians who help out everyone when it comes to employment. East Indians for example only hire east indians from my experience alot of foreigners only hire their own. Say for example when Alberta was busy the government flooded the market with tfw(temporary foreign workers)to support the trades, but then let them all stay. Now it's slow and there are foreigners working when Canadians need jobs. Cause unlike Canadians they refer all their foreign friends for work. We need to curb this shit in Canada and stop being so kind! Atleast most Mexicans have similar traditional values as most generational Canadians. Unlike most middle eastern countries.

To cold in Canada anyway..

Canada wants to wreck itself so we only take in muslims. Don't give a shit about other people who need help

i believe in Canada the majority of new Canadian have gone through discrimination.

Been in canada for 10 yrs never been sick. Only time I needed heath services was for my 1rst child last year. Went 7 months of pregnancy tests and exams paid nothing.\nI spent 2 months in NICU didn't pay a dime.\nTook 6 months parental leave still got income coming (could have taken 12 months since my spouse doesn't work).\nI don't care how rich I get. I'll always support universal health care. It worked for me.

15 years and can't speak a lick of English how did he drive a car all the way to Canada

I think it's pretty straight forward Jose. Stop running for once, do what's required, including showing up to appointments. Canada is a welcoming country, we are a multicultural nation of immigrants, but you got to pay your dues, cross your T's and dot your I's like the rest of our families did.

I totally 100 per cent disagree with this video .\nDiscrimination is in every country not just Canada.\nPeople complain about discrimination but they are the first to discriminate if you date there family and are not of the same background.

How did you end up getting your green card? I am looking to move to the states being from Canada. I have no idea where to begin the process....I currently work for myself.

Canada is a horrible country .

If Canada has a warm weather, it's the most beautiful country to live in. The downfall is the cold weather only.

In Canada Harper is right you have to show your face!!! Because of crime etc. This is Canada in your countries we can't go there and do what we want or where what we want!! So therefore there's your logic. If you can't figure this out your brain is all messed up its a very simple logic.

How about being an Indigenous Negroid Human of Planet Earth, just because you moved here or there doesn't change the way how the Caucasian Tribal Families, who enjoy being evil for the most, will not still HATE your guts UNJUSTLY.\n\nThe Problem is not a place stolen from the first founding NEGROID TRIBES OF Israel called Canada Original Called New Found Canaan (Arsarath) the problem is the soul orientation of the Caucasian Tribes who are still practicing santa-satanic Luciferian Racism 7 deadly Sins

Canada is passing a law that anti-Islamic speech can get you fined thrown in jail. Have a Nice day Stupid Politically correct liberal assholes whom are more of a threat to the world then these Muslim radicals.

they should not be allowed in Canada at all

they are letting them take over. Canada's rules will no longer apply to them. that's crap. they need to go back where they came from.

Why do you keep looping the same woman saying the same bullshit...keep them in Canada....TRUMP....

Thanks CBC for allowing Asha Tomlinson to work on this video. This is for all Canadians, but most for Black Canadians in Eastern Canada. Cities like Edmonton in particular should be highlighted in this type of videos for their stand on racism. Most cities in Canada are becoming more progressive on racial issues, but Edmonton remains a frightening place for Black people. My message to Blacks in Western Canada is that nothing will change without a challenge. We must stop gossiping about how we are treated and let expose this disease.

Canada pls... This is ridiculous.

How the hell did they get into Canada I know decent folks who want to emigrate and with money who cant get in to Canada\nTwo young Brits who earnt 6000dollars working abroad for instant and they are from decent families and educated.

Anti-Islam sentiment, a growing concern? Hello, that's putting it far too mildly. They are violent freaks. Putting their women in tents is gross. You have an intro like that w/ terrorism abroad and in Canada and you wonder why we hate them? Gee, that's not difficult. They tried to pass sharia law in Ontario. Yes, we hate them and we do NOT want anymore of them or their intolerant, racist bullshit, because that's what they bring.

muslims wont allow other religious persons to talk or settle in their country why canada gives this much help t o them?

not wanted here in Canada

I'm also Canadian and moved to the USA to marry my (now) husband, and I definitely notice some major differences. I think much of this really depends on where you're living in the US. I spent most of my life in Ottawa, and now live in South Central Pennsylvania. I'm surrounded by hillbillies, haha. In some ways healthcare is better in the US - I have waited much less time for health care, and also if you're paying in cash for the doctor many places offer a discount here. And I hear you on Amazon Prime! I use it all the time here! Not to mention so many cool vegan foods I could never get in Canada are easily available here.

i live in Canada and I've know about 20 black people over the past 15 years, every single one of them either stole, sold drugs, was involved in some kind of fraud or pimped women. this is not a joke, just my experience.

Canada will be Belgium within 20 years.

Trudeau will handover Canada to the Islamic Fascists.

Trudeau should be convicted in 20 years when Canada has been islamized.

Why not talk about the biking culture and eating habits of Canada vs US? oh, and living lifestyle do they have a strong minimalistic community? I heard recently that Sweden is building micro apartments for dorm housing as they have a massive shortage of housing option for college students. Are homes in Canada much smaller or what?

If your muslim planning on moving to Canada. Dont bother. Canada is not all it cranks up to be. Im Canadian. I know.

there is no such thing as anti Muslim. If mom wants to take over North America and we must stop it! I love these Canadian for standing up to Islam! But this video is part of the vast propaganda network setup by Muslims to pretend that they are like any other religion or people and therefore are offended at being not like. That is utter rubbish Islam is here to take over Canada as well as the rest of the world. Every single former Muslim will tell you the same thing. They will use democracy against you, get into your country and kill you.

Well, if you have them concentrated, good deal... you can bag 'em up and ship 'em out --- to whatever desert shit hole they crawled out of... before they destroy Canada like Europe.

Saying Canada is becoming like the usa post 9/11 lol really. and they take 2 street interviews of white ppl saying its strange but dont show the 98% who said they dont think about it at all!!

Stephen Harper had to hide in a closet during the Ottawa terrorist attack. \nAfter that event he started to criticize Muslims in Canada. \nPerhaps he wants to give them back the gift they gave him: fear.

The niquab is jeopardizing my safety. I have no idea who is under that garb. That is scary people. It is a sign of bondage. This is your choice to do in the privacy of their home NOT when in public. They are perpetually drawing attention to themselves when they wear this garb across their faces. I am really scared of having a person wearing this when I am around. This is CANADA people. In Canada this is NOT we wear. Canadians could not go to Pakistan and change their rules. Canada does not accomodate the hiding of the face especially when driving and in other public places like court. I am not racist, just a realist.

Oh well Canada used to be a nice place, America will soon follow unless Trump gets in..Pce

FUCK CANADA - SELL OUT AND PUT YOUR OWN PEOPLE AT RISK!!! FFFFUUUUCCCCKKKK TTTTHHHAAATTTTT!!!!

I would like to come and experience and be educated more about Islam I am a new Muslim Canadian women but with my husband not here with me in Canada I find it hard to learn on my own. I would love to come to Ontario to know more about Islam if there is any chance for my Muslim brothers and sisters to help me with this Please . Thank You

Its not complicated get Islam out of Canada we dont need your crap in Canada the quran is evil and we dont want Islam here we see what is going on with the rest of the world and we dont want it here its simple no Islam no quran its evil

Muslims out of Canada now!!!

I don't see why Canadians must learn about slavery in that country. I mean, if 4% of the population is black and many of them are immigrants from the Caraïbe. What is the point? They live in Canada. Another thing, black Canadians are really sensitive for no reason. Compared to other countries in the Americas, they have it better. Maybe I can't understand what they are complaining about because I'm American but I see over sensitivity.

This is a Great Documentary coming from the U.S I always wanted to know what was happening in Canada !

My experience in Canada has been largely positive, with only minimal racial difficulties.  As a teenager, I do recall some kids making blatantly racist comments, when I was the only minority in the room; but they were silly girls, popular and full of themselves, and most of the students who heard did not laugh with them. We all knew it was wrong.  Another time I was told, by an agent, that a potential employer claimed she would not hire me because of my race.  I did not hear these words firsthand, though, so it was impossible for me to verify the truth. In the end, I let the matter alone. Other people,  I realize, have endured severe injustices; such have not been my experience, but this does not subtract from their reality.  Indeed, racism does exist, and shall remain as long as there are imbeciles wallowing in the mire of ignorance, people who cling to an absurd sense of superiority for lack of something more meaningful to hold.  As well--and it must be said!--quite likely, we all have, at some point, entertained discriminatory thoughts. 'Tis not a 'black and white' problem but a human one, and we must be mindful of it beginning with ourselves.  Canada, then, with its many inhabitants and complex history, will never be the exception. We can't expect perfection among people, here or anywhere else in the world.  Even so,  I believe there are enough fellow Canadians who strive to treat people as individuals and are happy to make friends across cultures.  My life has been and continues to be a testament to that!  Whatever our troubles, we still retain a proud heritage of diversity and progressive ethnic harmony.  We do try, and for this reason I love my country.  I am deeply patriotic and immensely proud to be part of it!  

Not sure why the CBC only interviewed black Canadians of Caribbean descent. There are a number of other black Canadians from Africa living in Canada, including Somali-Canadians, Nigerian-Canadians, and Ghanian-Canadians. The segment was very limited in scope.

you make canada look bad pal.try patroling our streets.i think youll find we will interpret it as terrorism. \nbritan is just too scared to say it. \npatrol my fucking street
