Thank you for summarizing these key changes! Many problems are actually the Canadian immigration system not learning from the mistakes of the US system and now it’s suffering the same consequences. If Canada cuts down on those selected immigrations but still takes in refugees, it’s only going to make anti-immigrant sentiment worse. Selected immigrants are allowed into Canada to help alleviate Canadian issues…or at least people who come through Express Entry are less likely to become a burden. On the other hand, refugees, given their unfortunate circumstances, really need to rely on a lot of social services and resources to help them resettle. The US has eliminated pretty much all non-humanitarian immigration that’s why immigrants are so demonized there. Americans only feel the drags of refugees and asylum seekers (even though ethically we need to protect them) and there is no selected immigration to balance that out. Yet this round of Canadian policy change is heading exactly that direction.\n\nIt used to be international students in Canada are not paying a lot more tuition than Canadian students. But Canadian universities saw how much money universities in the US are making so they asked the federal government to change the policy to enable them to charge international students several times the regular tuition (whereas in countries like France, international students actually pay less than citizens). So now Canadian universities rely too much on international students to operate and it becomes an exploitative relationship even before students step foot on the campus. The new PGWP eligibility is awful because students can make contributions in every field. It might (and that's a big if) address the pressing problems, but it won't help Canada grow.\n\nI thought the new language requirement was interesting. Some Canadians who immigrated decades ago when the bar was really low still speak English poorly and now they are saying people can’t come to Canada because their language skills are not sufficient. Another point about language is if you apply through Express Entry now, even if you scored the highest language score, given how competitive the pool is, you still won’t get selected. So it’s a given that you need to be fluent in one of the languages at least to get an invitation. Express Entry also selects only the top people, I saw the head of The Institute for Canadian Citizenship in interviews talking about those top-tier people only expect the best treatment/lifestyle when they come to Canada. That's why many of them leave after seeing these Canadian problems play out. But I believe a good Canadian life is not about living in a high rise in Vancouver and Toronto, driving an expensive car, or buying luxury items...it's about the communities, nature and middle-class comfort. So the system is giving PRs to the wrong kind of people (just like mismatched people when hiring that don't align with company values).\n\nThis brings me to the last frustrating issue. There were so many people who attended “fake” universities and bought “fake” jobs to earn points to get an Express Entry invitation. And it's clear that the government wasn't proactively catching these abuses. They are taking up spots from those who try to earn the points fair and square. If I understand correctly, Canada doesn’t send these people away if they are found out (since some of them were scammed). So they still take up immigration quotas.\n\nI have wanted to move to Canada for a long time. I have visited Canada many times, hiking trails through the coastline and fjords, climbing mountains and glaciers. I lived in Montreal for two months to improve my French and I was told by my homestay family that I was the first student they had who didn’t complain about the cold (I wish the winter never ends so I can skate or xc ski in the parks year-round). I have probably seen more Canada than many Canadians and I love every bit of it. But the opportunity for me to even get a shot to move there is pretty much nonexistent now. If only there was a way for the system to allow people who really care about Canada to get a shot at being part of this beautiful country.\n\nThank you for making these videos.

yes homelessness and \\all the handouts are bad at least where i live and work as a security Guard in the lowermnainland of British columbia I barely make it and the homeless people seem to have more rights and in some cases have moer money then I do working as security . as for the racism I cant speak of that living on the west coast I have had the rascist card thrown at me many times for just eplaing to a person tha tthey are on prvate property and need to leave or the biggest time was I was working at a UBC football game and a black peron was on a part of the football feild where knowone should be with out p[roper ID so I walked over and this person started to freak out calling me a racist becsaue I asked for his ID he then shows me his superbowl ring telling me that gives him pecial priliedges whiuc hit doesnt I was alway calm speaking with him and plite as he was spitting at me trying to cause more attetnion then needed . at the end of the game his friend who also had a ring and him were together as he was pointing at me calling me a racist but his friend said the only racist thign he seen was him calling me a racist . I could have had him cuffed and removed put in jail for manyu thigns but I didnt . many people screeam racism and like I said it isnt that common accept people calling me a rqcist for just doing my job and they dont like it when told they need to leave or cannot do something on prvate property ith out permission. \n that hiring part think is totally wrong all my life I have had issues being hired as a Canadian born here but other people from other countries are brought in trained and schooled her and are hired before I am .\nalso yes housing is crazy xpensive this falls on the goevernment letting people from other countrys buy up all the lands then build a few homes then hold on to them makign the market prices climb and now with all the crazy imagration and many of those imagreants pretty much going to colledge and university for dirt cheap or free and also given home also droive up the prices.\nour healt hsystem is probably one of the best in the world the reason why our txes are so high is becasue of the health system and the reason why we seem to be short on doctors is becasue imagrants and other people running to the emergency for runny noses and also bring in there whole famil;y of brothers sisters cousins doesnt help backing up the system but als othe ageing poulations that needs to be in hospitals.

Yes they will never admit that they sold lots of weapons to the Sinaloa cartel and others so they can kill each other why they never talk about it? Because that's who they are terrorists since the beggining acquiring lands like half of mexico,Australia,Hawaii and numerous others that's how they make money like the wars right now in Ucrania and Gaza and they will use American contractors to become richer like black rock and Elon musk etc etc by the way why is a billionaire doing in his government? When he doesn't have any credentials besides being rich? There is lots of wisdom here will the racist of Fox someday admitted the real truth? I seriously doubt it

This is yes, Mexico has Mexico has killed a lot of people in the United States and make? Mexico was warned for years. Is Mexico's problems why these people are coming here? That's their people. How many people that has killed in the United States already and these borders? What are they talking about? Is they fault? It's not the United States fault. Canada is doing the same, then I do anything. They've been one for years and years and years and years. And they haven't done nothing yet. Still, American people are still dying from all these mamali's drugs. It's time that we put our foot down and stop thinking about the human beings that are dying instead of thinking about money. Money is not everything in life. It's just pays your bills.

Why Colombian farmers choosed to grow coca plants? They grow like a weed. Why they choose to process the plant and sell the paste? Is easy to do it, and easy to stored. The best thing for them is that the cartels just go to pick up a little bag that weighs 3 ponds and pay a nought money to the farmers to support their families, right there in the spot!!. If the farmer's cultivate vegetables, plantains, or any other produce, is no way for them to move their produce out of their farms. Is not an infrastructure of roads or any other system that is helping them to get their products out from their farms and the worse is that they do not get paid a fare price for their products. You know who is going to pay for their product right there in the spot with out to go through so much misery? For pennies? The cartels!!!! Two pounds of paste feed their family for a couple of weeks. Those two pounds translate in to a couple of millions after delivery. Where are this cartels delivering it?\nYou guess right! USA!!! \nDid Trump actually have a plan to CLEAN AMERICA TO MAKE IT GREAT AGAIN, WITH OUT ADDICTION ?\nNo Trump and Harris actually had a plan and how they are going to deal with addiction to drugs in this country!! \nWHY??

Do freelance work as an accountant or graphic designer and make money in dollars or gbp and enjoy the low cost of living and work from home. No need to go abroad and pay exorbitant monthly rent payments.

Where are Joe Biden and Kamala Harris? Why don’t they come to see all this? Biden and Kamala wide open the border to invite hundreds of millions of illegal immigrants to invade our country. Using our own tax payers money to fund the illegal immigrants. Why Kamala blames on elected President Trump for the border crisis????? This make me mad?????. These people should gather like that in their own country to put test with their corrupted government not in our southern borders. Biden, Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer need to be arrested for treason.

Everyone like who? You people just make videos for money or likes

That is messed up. To many people voted for this insane. Tarrifs makes you pay more to put more money in politicians richer. More

Trump needs to make the border a toll booth pay to come in america and pay to go to mexico even if its 2. Lot of money

CNN NEWS - YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING US!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ATTACKED TRUMP 24/7 AND YOU DECIDED TO PROTECT THE CORRUPTION OF THE DEMOCRATS WHO RUINED OUR COUNTRY AND NOW YOU ARE CRITIZICING TRUMP MOVES TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT??????? GUYS.... AMERICA SPOKE DURING THESE PAST ELECTIONS AND YOU SAW WITH YOUR OWN EYES THAT THE CORRUPT DEMOCRATS CANNOT LEAD ANYTHING IN OUR COUNTRY SO SHUT UP AND STOP YOUR HATE CAMPAIGN. YOUR STATION HAS NOTHING GOOD TO BRING TO AMERICA BECAUSE YOU DEMONSTRATED TO ALL OF US THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT ALL YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO WELL (FOR MONEY) IS TO BRING TO US HATE, CHAOS, DRAMA, LIES, BIAS REPORTING AND DIVISION. SO DO US ALL A FAVOR.............................STAY AWAY FROM TRUMP'S AGENDA TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN......................... WE SIMPLY DON'T NEED YOUR ADVICE, YOUR INTERVENTION ON ANYTHING AND MUCH LESS YOUR ATTACK AGENDA TO THOSE WHO WANT TO BRING GOOD AND HELATHY THINGS TO OUR NATION. HIPOCRATS...

You are mostly talking about the big cities. I will bet that things haven't changed that much is your small town in Saskatchewan. Too many people are gravitating to the large cities. The wealth of our nation was built with our farms, mines, forests, etc. Trades people and farmers built this country. Too many people want to sit on their ass in front of a computer instead of getting busy. For those immigrants who can't make a living in Canada, it is time to go home. Some who have the skills and attitude will do well. Other won't. We need successful people, not another user of the food banks. The author of this video, seems to have had enough money to travel to 50 countries! How many countries allow you to earn enough to have kind of opportunity. Why don't you stay on the farm?

I don't think anyone that voted for Trump knows basic math. I know you people on here think Mexico is going to pay the tariffs but the truth is the consumer payees for the tariffs and taxes of all goods coming from Mexico. They way I see it. The American people are just making Trump even more money. Yes please close the borders and see how ridicule's high your ever day goods will sky rocket. With the exception of guns the USA doesn't provide Mexico with any essential products. Again do your math people. On top of that. You can't bully Mexico anymore. Those times are over.

the colleges are the only people making money once here the students are draining the infastructure food banks health care etc need i go on

This is one of the most delusional news channels I have ever seen, but the worst part is the facts that viewers believe what they say. Inflation occurs when the federal government places to much money in circulation. The Biden administration cut the key stone pipeline, subsequently increasing the cost of oil and gas, while negating the billions being brought in via oil exports. Gave a sizable portion of the stretegic oil reserve to non stretegic countries, increased Government spending on bad programs, sent several hundred billion to fund non stretegic foreign wars and hundreds of billions on housing, medical care and debit cards for illegal immigrants, while doing nothing for Maui, North Carolina and Florida or the millions of homeless and diplaced Americans and American veteran.\nAs for this Mexico issue. The people have spoken. Border counties filled with legal immigrants but flooded with violent illegals voted for Donald Trump because they are living the nightmare created by Mexico and the Biden administration, that these media and political hacks theorize about. The Mexican government has failed its people by allowing the Cartels to fill their pockets with billions every year. \nMexico is also working with China to funnel Chinese goods through Mexico in an attempt to bypass tariffs and flood the American economy with cheap Chinese goods. Don't let this Mexican president fool you, they are afraid of Trump holding them accountable for facilitating this mass invasion on the border. She made this statement publicly as a shakedown tactic instead of talking directly to President Trump. Her actions should tell you all that you need to know about these political puppets. In conclusion, Tariffs are affective because these greedy American and Foreign corporations use cheap labor to make cheap goods that they then sell for major profit. Tariffs tend to make these companies movie to America create American Jobs and pay higher American salaries which are a significant savings over tariffs. The companies lose considerable profits but they gain market share because they understand that when you raise the price of goods you only make the American alternative more appealing.

It's about serving big corporations for a cheap workforce, demoralizing the local population. Failed policy, or exactly as intended? The wrong assumption is the country cares about it's citizens. Nobody talks about the banking system, stoking the ever expanding and toxic real estate bubble. That's making housing expensive. Housing for international 'investors' that remains empty or close to it in order to launder money. Let's not talk about TD bank being fined $3billion for money laundering. No, the debate gets framed into simplistic terms...

Trump is USA own fail......more and more get made in other country. becauce the USA company only look , where we can make more money

for those that don't understand tariffs. If I currently import a t-shirt from Mexico for 10.00 and sell it in the US for 15.00, I make 5 dollars in profit which I use to pay my staff and keep my business running. When Trump puts a 25% tariff on that t-shirt, it now costs me 12.50.You think I am going to eat 2.50 per t-shirt. No, I'm now going to charge you, the consumer, 17.50 for the same t-shirt because my cost of doing business has not gone down. You all really need to do some research and understand tariffs. I'm not moving my business to the US. I'm still getting the same amount of money for my products. The US consumer is footing the bill....

She has China building EVs in Mexico. She wants to make money from China and Cartel drug sales. And now, the USA taxpayers to feed illegals. No thanks. I will pay tariffs.

She will bend because she wants federal funding that we give and money that they make from our consumers... she will bend and get her act together on her border down by Panama... just you wait and see.

Mexico allows the caravans to arrive at the US border after trekking 2000+ miles through their country. Mexicans are making money off of them and have no motivation to stop - until now. Sheinbaum is flexing her muscles on her new international stage. She has no power against Trump and his plans for America First.

We are ripping off one another!! USA companies picked up their hats and coats then went overseas in the 70s to make more money!! Tariffs will steadily hurt the consumers and pad the pockets of those mega companies. Greed begets greedier and greediest. Heck, if I had a company back in the 70s, I probably would have done the same thing. Never be surprised. It is all simple.

She making to much money leaving the border open shes probably part of drug trade. Why is she allowing china to ship ingredients there to make fetty?

These clowns on the other side of the borders will negotiate with Trump. Especially knowing that we are a top consuming nation. That will lose them billions of dollars. Seeing the liberals crying is so funny. Mexico will be the first to break and especially when the cartel doesn't make any more money. So many companies will move back to the United States to avoid the high taxes. These clowns on the panel are so dumb lmao.

Canada has a “marginal” or “progressive” tax rate system. Making more money doesn’t “bite you in the ass”. The higher tax rate is only charged on the money that is above the margins of the previous tax rate. The majority of what you make stays at the lower tax rate no matter what- unless you are an elite earner who makes so much that your initial income is only a drop in the bucket.

Madam,\nNot 7,000 their are 700,000 international indians student should be deported on the spot,\nMost of them came on fake documents fake indian College Universities degrees diplomas certificates because in India they can buy easily all these degrees certificate diplomas with with money they offer huge bribes..\nThese international indian students can't even speak english can't even write english and they get immigration clearance with fake english language test from Embasies...\nBecause they to pass mandatory English test before they give them Visa \nAnd again they pay the bribes and they get fake english language test\nIn India everything possible if you have lots a money\nThese international indian students misuse previlages what Canadian Goverments offer to get study in Canada they really make fool all these countries when they been gone for studies.

If you take away all the money Quebec takes from Alberta it would make Alberta #1

Each time I hear how bad our economy is heading and where our tax payers money is going, it makes me mad inside.

Agent all ready make money now student all fake indian deport they cash job now in canada 5 dollars work resturent and free food

this is how canada makes money via fake tourism in the name of immigration

would of happened no matter who you voted for. monarchs are to blame for making a money greedy society. the government only capitalized off it instead of making things better

Catch the agents sitting in India who are making money and giving these students false promises.

they realised that they have to work to make money, in this expensive country.

Thank God!!!!! As A 10 generations Canadian we are done with these immigrants making their money in Canada then returning to their 3rd world countries as millionaires with our money!!!! That’s a fact & Truth !!! Ask any Bank teller who transfers their Canadian money monthly to India, China, Pakistan, Turkey, Philippines, !!!!!!

Its all about MONEY. Money makes the world go round... After all, aren't we all want to go to school so we can learn and make more money later? Hmmm???

Fantastic i try myself to enter 2005 us embassy naver give me visa they said to me if you enter there you won't come back us embassy can you give me guarantee if i stll go there won't come back true talk im the same man in the country different rules for poor people while rich people keeping the rules in there own pockets because of the money it's not everything unfortunately we can't live without money every body looking for extra money money talk money makes you smile no money no friends so true, true

NO MORE FREE ANYTHING! GO BACK HOME AND TRY COMING HERE THE LEGAL WAY!!! No more free money, debit cards, licences, healthcare, housing. You want to come here legally & struggle like everyone else that's fine. The American dream is no longer being given away for doing things illegally. Work for it like everyone else. Just know this. The American dream is dead for Americans. Go back home and protest the bullshit in your own country and try to make a change there.

One point that a lot of fellas forget is that this crisis also affects neighboring nations. Gangs from Mexico to Ecuador are making a lot of money with human trafficking. Fighting against this reduces the amount of money organized crime earns and in turns helps other countries in the Americas.

The key to addressing these issues isn’t for the government to simply 'deport' illegals; it’s to make life in the host country so dependent on legal status that it becomes nearly impossible for an illegal immigrant to prosper or live a normal life. What we see now is the opposite—some states don’t even require proof of legal residency to issue a driver’s license. When services like healthcare, education, and more are offered without any checks, why would anyone bother complying? A parallel society forms, where people learn to bypass hurdles with the help of others already entrenched in the system. The same applies to sending money back to their home countries.\n\nIf you impose harsh penalties—not just fines—on those who hire illegals, you’ll deter locals from exploiting their cheap labor. This would naturally lead to many illegals 'deporting' themselves in search of countries where they can blend in more easily. Furthermore, there’s a 'support system' that guides illegals on how to navigate life in the U.S. as undocumented residents, which should also be addressed. But instead, Democrats often seem to do everything possible to favor their presence, especially in certain cities.

To all those supporting the cracking down on these ‘illegals’ there’s something I need to know. Tell me, if they folks had an option to immigrate legally, would they? Do you think it’s some kind of malicious effort to come here against the law, or are they coming here out of desperation? Many of these people come from places like Haiti, Colombia, or Guatemala. Places that the CIA and American tax dollars destroyed. Illegal immigration wouldn’t be a problem if we didn’t make the situations of many of our southern neighbors unlivable.\n\nI’m a Floridian white dude who was comparatively born with the silver spoon in my mouth, I understand America is at a point economically where the last thing we need is to be spending money on non citizens, sending billions in foreign aid abroad or on undocumented immigrants. But I also think we need to take some level of accountability for why this is even an issue. I speak Spanish as a second language, and ever since I got to communicate with many of these ‘illegals’ and got to hear from an older Guatemalan gentlemen of his time living through the American backed “Silent Holocaust” my opinion has change completely.

1. Prevet illegal entering of people \n2. Deport people who entered or are inthe country illegally \n3. Call law abiding US citizens to work the fields and construction jobs\n4. Dont pay pennies on the dollar to foreign companies ' imports. Make them pay their employees as if ther were in the US, as well as the companies that work for those companies, so there's no 3rd world abuse of lower wages\n5. Keep up the perverse game of money

I can’t understand why these people waste thousands of dollars paying off authorities in Central America and Mexico just to enter the U.S. illegally, instead of using that money to move to other developed countries. To make things worse, they bring along their conservative, anti-LGBTQ mindset and try to impose it on others.

First of all you can create high gaurded district for illegal immigrants and force them to work and make enough money and then deport them or make citizens

If they really wanted to crack down on immigration, then penalize both the worker and the employer for working together. But that's not what they want. They still want immigrant labor, but for no one to be able to complain about their terrible working conditions. Remember: margins make money.

If I had money, I would go for fashion, private labels, etc. The fashion world is changing so fast, and knockoffs allow me to change my style frequently and keep up with the trends. kislux completely meets my needs. It makes me feel very satisfied and I love it.

The Biden administration deported more undocumented immigrants in 2 years than Trump deported in 4 years.\n\nThey did it without hate speech, without divisive hate, without lies, propaganda, and ignorant rhetoric. They did it without separating families, without inhumane conditions, and promoting an environment of fear. They did it without breaking any US laws, without breaking international laws, and without violating the Geneva Convention. They did it without violating the rights of asylum seekers.\n\nThey did it without forcing a government shutdown, declaring a fake national emergency, and using it to steal $15 billion from the defense/military budget for a wall Mexico didn’t pay for, to be built when a wall already stood. $15 billion for 54 new miles of fencing? What’s the art of THAT deal? That money, OUR money, the military’s money, could have hired a bunch of new border patrol agents, and implemented a TON of technology, drones, independent monitoring centers, flood lights, high quality cameras….but nope. We got more of the same sh¡t we’ve had for 30 years. Walls. If walls work so well, then why doesn’t the wall that already exists keep people out? Fu€|<ing stupid use of our money. I worked at the southern border for 10+ years. I once watched someone drive a truck over a border wall with two thick boards on each side, which they just kept there for next time. It took less than 5 minutes. Because walls aren’t magical.\n\nTrump plans to terminate programs like birthright citizenship, DACA, migrant visas, green cards, military service….and he’s planning to deport people who were born here, have citizenship, but their parents weren’t citizens at the time, so he’s deporting them. IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE. But neither does Trump. Who, BTW married TWO IMMIGRANTS who were undocumented at the time. 4 of his 5 kids were born to an immigrant. Melania’s parents are here through “chain migration.” But, he’s taking that away now, too. JD Vance’s wife is of Indian descent. These are the 2 men who want to kick out immigrants. Undocumented immigrants contributed nearly $100 billion to the economy & social security in 2022 alone. They pay the same sales taxes we do. But they don’t have access to the social programs they’re paying into & they don’t get tax returns. WE KEEP THEM. But sure, let’s kick them all out. Any ONE of trump’s plans is going to cripple our economy anyway. \n\nThings are going to get really, really bad, guys.

Canadian expat living in Asia. Just returned from a visit to Canada. While spending time with family and catching up with them was awesome, I couldn’t wait to be back in Asia. I’m enjoying a lifestyle here in a tropical beach that would be unreachable in Canada. Eating out all my meals, going out, attending cool events, flying frequently to nearby countries for a weekend or week or weeks at a time. Eating clean healthy food, meeting inspiring and friendly people. Typing this from the beach on a Sunday morning while enjoying my big freshly squeezed carrot juice cup that I paid 60 cents for! \n\nCanada only for visiting once a year. \n\nSave money, work remotely or better yet, learn a high income skill and live anywhere while making money online is the new FREEDOM PLAN. Get on it while you can!

They came illegally to take your job and money just to send it back where they came from because they say they are scared. Make it make sense ?

Funding the Woke Agenda at Taxpayer Expense \nThe responsibility to spend the taxpayers’ money is the key to everything the government does. The Constitution makes clear that the government is supposed to only spend funds on things that benefit all Americans in carrying out the enumerated powers. \nUnfortunately, the budget has been used to fund the controversial and partisan policy agenda and the institutions of the progressive movement, at the expense of the American people. \nAs the budget has grown, government has too, with politicians and bureaucrats exerting control over the most personal aspects of the lives of everyday Americans. \nThe American people are fed up with their tax dollars being used against them. \nInjecting Divisive DEI Into Every Aspect of Government \nPresident Biden has attempted to inject controversial and divisive diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) race, sexual orientation, and gender identity- based policies through every aspect of the federal government. \nThese policies are antithetical to the very founding of our nation, which is based on the principle that “all men are created equal.” \nFederal agencies have been required to develop “Equity Action Plans” to describe how they will take into account race in reallocating taxpayer funding through contracts and grants to politically favored groups. The administration explicitly states they are “embedding equity in the everyday business of government.”\n\nSOURCE, HOUSE BUDGET COMMITTEE

Well I’m a DACA recipient and I make good money where I work, i he wants to cancel us then we just take all our money from their banks which just won’t be millions would be waaay more and watch the banking system go down along with inflation
