Greetings from Sydney, Australia ?? \n\nAustralia stands with our Canadian cousins against this “dumb” trade war.\n\nLet us hope Trump comes to his senses and ends it.

Canada has always been crucial for US's economy and vice-versa. Only suffering and loss will come out of all this. At least Canada has Europe, Australia, and Most Asian countries. Trump has Putin and the fat tyrant from N. Korea

Disgusting traitors! No 'ally' should come to US aid ever again. Canada, Mexico helpd with their fires. They turned on Europe ( thru Ukraine)& threaten Australia too.

Australia ??stands with Canada ?? and Ukraine ?? \nTrump complains about Canada — but new data shows spike in U.S. drugs and guns coming north - CBC\nHumpty Dumpty is a psychopath and hypocrite \nMidterms2026 VOTE ? Special Elections start APR 1st Florida

I'm from Poland. What terrible times we have come to live in... The world we knew is ending, and new alliances are forming. It doesn't have to be the European Union—let it be a UNION OF THINKING PEOPLE, a WORLD UNION OF GOOD WILL PEOPLE. \nCanadians, Americans - you are strong and smart enough (at least half of Americans who didn't vote for Trump) Please, don't give up, fight hard! \n\nUkraine + part of the EU + Canada + Mexico (Greenland/Denmark, Australia, Japan, who's next?) - we can survive without the USA, Russia, and their “minions”. \nWe here in Europe also have Putin's allies - Orban (Hungary), Fico (Slovakia). \nHowever, despite everything, I sincerely believe that decent Americans will bring the impeachment of “Orange Man” as soon as possible. Before he leads his country into hyperinflation and crisis...

Trump must have been referring to a New Golden Age for Russia, not America. Trump is the Epitome of Stupidity, 'Self Harm while attempting to Harm Others' ..Stupid Turkeys Carrying their own Axe to Thanksgiving comes to mind. Cheers from Michael. Australia.

Come on Canada.. its time Americas allies give America back a little.\nThey can have Russia and North Korea.\n\nThe UK, EU, Canada, Australia, and China can get together and have our own agreements

Respect to Canada, we all stand with you. Brave coming out on the front foot like you have. I do have to add, it is not the American government alone, it’s the American people who voted Trump in. How the mighty have fallen. Making enemies with all the democracy countries around the world. I’m Danish born, living in Australia. Civil war is very likely as many republicans now see that America is isolating themselves to create a dictatorship. Us vs the world mentality. Politics has never been more entertaining. China is set to be the new world leader, I can’t see it any other way. The timeline has moved forward beyond belief.

Omg the start of this speech has covered everything I know about Canada lol “US largest partner, reasonable, polite” lol\nAlso Australia better have bulls like this guy if it comes to it, I like his play

South Europa to Nord Europa over Greenland to Alaska and Canada, Australia, Japan one big new marked, military, economic and coming markedet....the FOURTH WORLD BLOCK !!!!!

If you lose Canada, Mexico and Latin America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, your reserve currency status will be affected, and with that, your current and ever increasing debt will come to the forefront.

come to Australia

Make Indian people specially men more civilized specially when they are abroad. In Australia they are terrible to be around. Not many people want to be around them. I met very civil Indians here who are mainly from cities like Delhi or Mumbai, but majority come from villages or remote cities of Punjab. And these people are truly uncivil and their behaviour is super unpleasant.

AUSTRALIA MUST WAKE UP GIVE PAULINE HANSON THR POWER TO LOOK AFTER OUR ONCE PROUD COUNTRY. WE ARE OVER RUN BY THESE PEOPLE ITS A DISGRACE THE SOONER AUSTRALIA CLOSES THE FLOOD GATES THE BETTER..\nDONT COME TO AUSTRALIA FOR THE LOVE OFF GOD STAY PUT...

The government of India should find ways to use the human resources locally. There has been a widespread anti-Indian sentiment in the West and in Australia. Behavior and cleanliness are a big issues when it comes to Indians. The government must treat all its citizens equally and make them to love the country and work for uplifting the nation. Hindutva is not good for the future of this wonderful nation. Let's wake up!

Don’t they understand that being in the USA illegally could land them in Guantánamo Bay Cuba for cruel and unusual torture by the USA? Why on earth would they want to come into a country like the USA which is declining? There is no freedom or liberty here. The USA is still a master and slave economy just in different ways with white supremacist British Americans leading the master and slave relationships.\n\nThey should really stay in their countries and force renewal of those countries \n\nBut the US is dying, and the end of the USA is approaching. Clearly the British Americans, who are in charge see this and will either commit suicide of the country or commit mass genocide of the Americans while the British Americans escape. \n\nThe USA is no great place to be \n\nThe conversation in the USA is strictly between the white masters excuse me, the British ethnic white masters and their black slaves, who are basically wage slaves. \n\nThree chairs to the Mexican border patrol, and Mexican police trying to contain this massive crowd. \n\nI strongly suggest that businessman who are Mexican citizens who can manage soccer stadiums filled with these illegal immigrants help to contain this population of liberation seekers, and two persuade them into becoming citizens of central or South American countries or of other countries, such as Eurasia, Africa, Australia, and such where they probably would have a better Sense of stability, especially in mainland, Europe, but not the United Kingdom, which is the troublemaker behind each of their countries problems

Well nothing like that, I live in Canada and can verify that. Problem is quality of immigrants, especially student is trash in Canada, Australia and Europe. They come to shady universities for studies, work full time both legally and illegally rather than studying and at end of their education, they have a fake degree with zero value. Just like most of the new graduates in India who have a degree with no practical value. \nIf you have a good degree, right skills in tech and some experience, there are tons of opportunities in Canada. I cuss Canada everyday but that's because I lived 10 years of life - studies and work in USA. So whether I move to Canada or any other country in the world, I would do the same as US has no equal in the world. I lived in US for 10 years, then India for 3 years and came to Canada 3 years back. I would still move to India after getting Canadian citizenship, but not because Canada has something bad or India has something exceptional to offer, but because I want to live with my parents in India. Thats the reason I left US but came to Canada to get a backup.

As one of the world leaders, President Trump should also order the deportation of White land thieves in South Africa & Australia back to Europe (they stole the land from Blacks), & for Christopher Columbus, who supposedly 'discovered' America in 1492, though he found 112 MILLION BLACKS & RED INDIANS living in peace, but MASSACRED 106 MILLION of them in order to settle Whites from Europe (these people r so heartless), to be charged posthumously for GENOCIDE & ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE, & for DECEIVING billions of people for more than 500 years regarding the fake 'discovery'. This should duely be followed by RETURNING the land of America back to its owners; Blacks & Red Indians. Meaning that Trump too, should be deported back to Germany or Scotland, where his ancestors came from. No double standards. If one's history is fake, it sure has to change when TRUTH comes out.

The funny part is the first Americans and Australias doesn't come to the US or Australia legally, they where illegal savage criminals who eradicate the natives and take their land. Now they talk about what is legal and illegal

America is not the only country that deports illegal people. Watch Border Control on YouTube in Australia, and into United Kingdom an into America. All these countries are obeying their immigration laws. For the people that want to come in and break our laws, you will probably pay a price if you don't have proper visas or paperwork,,,,,,,,,,,

Come to Australia. My child is transgender. We welcome people of all genders. And we have women's rights too.??.??. Seriously 26 million population in a land as big as america. We will be able to only grow with all ex American workers.

Of course there should be rejections! You people move abroad drive up inflation and cost of living, where it is near impossible for the actual citizens of that country to adapt. Not only that, you come abroad on student visa's and find loopholes in systems to stay longer than you are required to and apply for permanent citizenship. You've ruined the sovereignty of many once great countries such as Canada, United Kingdom and Australia, so what did you expect? Along with the rejections they need to start deporting people back to India also.

Unfortunately the majority of them come from a certain region in India . Australia just banned the same states for running scams in universities and work . I’ve lived in Canada and people here have been absolutely loving and welcoming

I wish I had an app to get an appointment to come in to Australia.\nI had wait for 2 and half years to get my visa.\nI had to two medical checks and two police checks.\nDW news please stop being sympathetic.Ask them to apply for visa in proper way.\nNot 1000 people in lottery system.?

I am a UK citizen. I find it strange that Indian nationals claim to be 'proud' of their country, yet they all want to move elsewhere (UK, US, Canada, Australia etc). If their country is so great, then why do they want to keep going to other countries? And then there's the bureaucracy for those who want to visit destinations such as India. If India wants to impose endless paperwork and procedures to other countries, then it should expect the same. India was the one that started the childish tit-for-tat behaviour when the UK and Canada were restricting visa applications during the pandemic, so therefore India banned e-visa applications from Canadians and UK citizens. If India wants to behave like this, then why can't other nations? The UK is full of Indians who come here and don't want to integrate to our way of life etc, hence it's better for everyone if they just stayed in India.

The whole world could see this coming. The Americans want a secure border and they like the rest of the western citizens are sick and tired of the open borders. Australia has the same problem we have a disgustly slack leftist government allowing people through airports

Australia has finally realised the impact of high immigration. The Labour government left the door open leading to high numbers of immigrants coming in. Now no one can afford to buy a house, the country’s infrastructure is under pressure.

It's a stupid report, obviously the visa rejection will be high if the visa applications are high from a most populated country in the world it's basic common sense , i would say India have the highest visa grant these days, I'm from India came to Australia it's not ecen harf if u have the right documents and if you're not faking anything, I'm pretty sure the rejections are mostly because of fake documents especially from Punjab and Haryana so it's good that they are not letting fake people i mean then what's the point of doing all this right way? People like me who try to come in a right way

First of all . I am an Indian living in Australia. \n1. The way some of us are behaving in these countries is the worst . Instead of respecting their culture and laws, we start behaving in the same way as in India .\n2. I don't want to put it out, but some people from certain places have a ready solution even if the immigration change their rules . They know every means to cheat their way in. \n3. Take, for example, 200 people come from other countries and do nonsense in India. Will we allow them ? Noooo, right ... but right now, thousands of our Indians are damaging other countries, bringing all kinds of dirty activities we do in India .Unnecessary protests are just 0.1% of them\n\nThis is the best decision taken by the other countries and it should become more strict in the coming days

Australia. Come. With English any. Trade with 6 years experience age 40 less

Don’t blame the West. By your own account UAE, Australia, NZ are not technically western. I am sure getting a Visa to Japan, South Korea is equally tough. USA faces substantial illegal immigration from India mainly Gujarat. I am sure same is true of Europe. Don’t blame the passport index. How come China fares better and Singapore and Malaysia are among the best? Introspection instead of Jingoism is the solution.

As an Indian staying in Australia, I feel ashamed because the genuine students are not even 10 out of 100 from India. They are just coming for work and PR, and on top of it, they are ruining the culture here. It's an absolutely correct decision for Western countries. Indeed, they should keep INDIA on BLACK LIST

The western nations are going get more radicalized in the coming years.\nWhy are so many people desperate to migrate to the west? Why not go east like China, Russia or Eastern Europe?\nEveryone wants to go to the UK, USA, NZ, Australia, Canada, Sweden, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Austria and Germany. The west us full.\n*GO EAST*

HAVE THE NERVE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT BROWN IMMIGRANTS IN BRAMPTON OR ANYWHERE ELSE IN CANADA ???\n\nIf not for those NOT WHITE immigrants coming to Canada, Brampton would be like any other little city in Canada and would have diminished in population . The Whites alone couldn’t have provided enough of tax revenue to build infrastructure or maintain social programs.\nDue to projected low birth rates, The politicians did a quick fix to increase tax revenue. They offered IMMIGRATION to get working young families who already had education, skills and professions without investing a penny or offering help. Those Immigrants have to pay couple of thousand dollars to apply for immigration and have to prove that they have enough money until they find jobs.. They can’t claim welfare for few years either. By choice many Europeans don’t want to come to Canada. If not for those immigrants who work the aging population couldn’t have got pension.\n\nMUST ABSORB WHITE CANADIAN CULTURE ? English, German, Polish,Austrian, French , Spanish, Russian, Irish, Scottish, Greek, Italian, Turkish. ……..? WHICH ONE ?\nWhen Whites went to Anywhere. In Asia, Africa, Middle East , America, Canada and Australia did they absorb those cultures?\nDid they even ask for permission or get visas ?\nDid they not kill , massacre , rape ,torture and abused natives of those continents?\nDidn’t. The whites rob Or took by force all types of valuables, National treasures of those countries ?\nDidn’t the Whites forced their culture and religions to the Natives and punished them if they wouldn’t ?\n\nLook at Brampton now ! Look at those immigrant children ! Majority of them are university educated and hard working and paying taxes so all of us can live well. If the majority in a city is not like us, then we should learn their culture ?\nI look at the diversity and ENJOY AND feel the pride of a Canadian.\nITS NOT WHO WE ARE AND WHEN WE CAME BUT WHAT WE DO TO CONTRIBUTE TO OUR CANADA

There are over 260 visa only colleges in Canada and about 200 in Australia,these colleges are of no use and over lakhs of students come here every year,why the government doesn't take action on it and close these universities,and why does they treat the illegal visa immigrants and skilled immigrant like engineers and doctors the same

There is so much misunderstanding about the immigration: people believe we take too many immigrants, while in fact we need to maintain this level of immigrants per year for several years to address the labor shortage in the coming years as baby boomers are retiring...\n\nPeople believe that immigrants cause property values to rise and it is Trudeau's fault. Well, Australia has high sky property values, is very similar to Canada but doesn't have Trudeau. Yet the property values are sky high.\n\nSame is for Healthcare: compare UK or France. These countries don't have Trudeau but their Healthcare has deteriorated since COVID.

The white people forget that european and french colonized almost the entire world and did ethnic cleansing of the indegeneous people of australia, america, canada. Its just like karma coming back in a different form

In Australia there was locked down because of Covld 19 but Australia politics lets over 250,000 India come into Australia because USA needs India to help them with China

Where are the destination countries that those Canada immigrants moved to? You did not tell the whole story. The audience may think that those people are leaving Canada to US. \n\n1. Among five eyes countries, Canada is the easiest country for people to migrate to. For example Australia skill migrant program does not accept the flight attendant as the required talent. There is very slim chance that the flight attendant can get the PR through the skill migrant program in Australia. Canada is now getting into the trouble similar to the sub-prime crisis in US 15 years ago: too many people who are not the qualified immigrants arrived to Canada in past 2 years. They are leaving because the minimal hourly wages cannot support their living in the big cities like Toronto and Vancouver. \n2. High income tax ? In UK the top tax bucket is well over 40%. In Australia you need to pay 45% income tax plus 2% medical Levy surcharge\n3. High cost of living? I think the cost of living in London of UK and Sydney of Australia are also exceptionally high. The cost of living affordability depends on the income of the migrants. Low income working class will feel the cost of living and housing pressure. But this applies to all countries, including SF of US, Toronto of Canada, Sydney of Australia, London of UK\n4. Rise in crime: I do not understand this logic as the migrants left Canada to US - the city of LA, New York, Seattle and Chicago are far worse than in Canada \n5. Limited Career opportunities: the only country that has better career opportunities is US. What are the main reasons for those who are not migrating to US?\n\nIn summary, all the above points are not the main reasons. The main reason is the liberal government. Canada had taken a large number of wrong low end migrants in wrong time. When the economic downturn turn comes these are the most vulnerable group of people that should leave Canada.\n\nMany Canadian found that they resolved some of the problems by relocating from city to city ie moved from Vancouver to Calgary. Cheaper house price and cost of living, lower crime rate,etc

COME TO AUSTRALIA!! Closer...

AGREE \nVisa is permission and not a legal right and permission comes with certain conditions and one giving permission has right to check the compliance . \n\nBUT SLSO ASK \n why Canada is letting these fake College and Universities dupe students and their parents in India through their agents . \nCanada Australia England and US all English speaking countries and their unethical education system enticed looted and trapped not so intelligent students and their naive parents with a promise of education and PR . Governments of these countries are to blame

What’s immigration like with nursing? I’ve been debating coming over from UK to Canada for 6 months, a year or 2 in a few years when I have more RN experience and have saved money, but with all the things I’ve been seeing online about the housing crisis, cost of living and immigration problems it’s really putting me off. \n\nAny nurses from Canada here got any views or advice on this? Is it difficult to find employment as a nurse in Canada? I thought there was a big shortage of Nurses in the country.\n\nMy other idea was Australia but they seem to be struggling with a housing crisis too ?. Also a lot further away from the UK than Canada. Pay and work-life balance seem better in Australia and so is the weather. Ahhhhh, who knows

THESE PAST FEW YEARS, DON'T ASK ME WHY BUT I'VE RAGINGLY COME TO HATE WORDS SUCH AS DIVERSITY / MULTICULTURALISM....AM SAYING THIS AS A BLACK MAN FROM MAURITIUS WHO HAPPENS TO LIVE IN AUSTRALIA...THESE WORDS ARE SOOOOO HACKNEYED....THEY MEAN NOTHING AT ALL.....WE ALL HATE EACH OTHER AT THE END OF THE DAY !

The Trump administrations immigration policy is actually less strict than Australia's. Who are not having to do mass deportations because their President did not encourage millions of people to just walk into the country. Blame Joe Biden and his corrupt media for these deportations, not the people having to do them. It should have never come to this.

According to the ethnicity population graph, Hindus are the most coming in; there are more Hindus in Canada, USA, UK, and Australia, so when you say Indian it’s mostly the Hindus. Look at the number of Hindu temples in the western countries; it’s a Hindu culture take over the west. There are about a billion of them. I feel building temples, having your foreign country Independence Day parades, wedding parades should not be allowed. Most Hindus are Bjp supporters, staunch supporters of India then why aren’t they living in India? It makes no sense; unless it’s a Trojan horse strategy for the greater Hindu raj over the world; like Islam but more sinister and hidden. Hindu culture does not share the same values of a western democratic society, look how minorities are treated in India; if they become majority in the west it’s game over for the other communities.

My daughter is nearing the end of 2 great years in Canada on an IEC (backpacker) visa from Australia. She’s loved the people, the landscape (mostly lived in BC and Alberta) , and working there…. She picked up interesting jobs, worked very hard, just about made ends meet, has been great. \n\nShe was even offered a permanent job by a major Canadian co last year (she was working for them on a one year role at the time) that would’ve paved the way for her to apply for PR…but she turned it down without a second thought….. for all the reasons you would know about \n\n- Wages aren’t great (maybe 20% less than australia), \n\n- taxes are high (incl having to pay CPP…in australia the employer pays all pension contributions, on top of wages), \n\n- groceries prices out of kilter, \n\n- rents consume most of what’s left…. \n\n- AND, even if you could save a deposit for a house, or shoebox apartment….what’s the point, could never afford it. \n\nShe’s seen nearly all her Canadian friends resigned to their fate of being perennial renters, of being perpetually skint. It’s no life. She’s sad to see it - coming from a country of perpetual optimism and opportunity, to learn over time how such a (on many levels) similar country isn’t like that, that has somehow got it all so wrong. \n\nIf you are thinking of “australia” as your answer, it’d be a fair call\n\n- Avoid Sydney if you can (a less expensive Vancouver) but rest of the place is “workable”. \n\n- Average wage in Perth is $100k (C$90k) and average house (full size…not an apt or townhouse) price is about $700k (C$630k) …so do-able, if tight to start with, for youngsters (like you..!) \n\n- I’ve been to Vancouver’s East Hastings St, and so can confirm is nowhere close to that in Oz. Are sketchy parts of all cities, but it’s definitely not community wide\n\n- are small pockets of homelessness (esp but not only indigenous community) but the governments are mostly (sort of…) “on it” \n\n- sun, sea, sand… and the sharks rarely come close to shore!

The problem in Australia was less about cheap labor (although our farmers are still exploiting backpackers and anyone else they can dupe) and more about fake students who have come here to work illegally and get PR. Award wages mean nothing to many Indian business owners in Australia and the education agents in India continue to lie to prospective students who want to come here. Journalists who try to track the shonky operators down are met with thinly veiled hostility in the rare cases that they find the people behind the scam.

Canada's TFW scheme is just nutso, and that's coming from an Australian who is living with many of the same pressures as Canada in 2024. You have roughly 40 million people - about 12 million more than Australia - and some genius decided that importing 3 million people from the subcontinent was a GOOD idea ? Like Australia, the majority of your population is clustered in a small number of cities - new arrivals are going to head straight for the path of least resistance. No shame in that (I lived in a notorious 'ghetto' dominated by foreigners in Thailand) but it was never going to be well received by the locals. Toronto and Vancouver, anyone ? Hey, I guess if it works the pollies will be hailed as geniuses, but the growing pains in both countries won't disappear in a single election cycle.

Uber drivers. Same issue in Australia and USA. They come to the US under fake student visas but to drive Uber 100hrs a week.

come to Australia and see what damage these jokers have done....oh my god.
