Born and raised in Canada. Grew up believing anyone could do well here if you apply yourself as an average person. Household income was higher then the USA and for the most part 'middle class life' was pretty attainable. Now I've had some bumps along the way that has nothing to do with this to set me back, but today I look at the 'make a life market' and the opportunities are none. You either own a home and are doing well, or your a renter going backwards every year because of inflation and the brain drain. Entrepreneurs have left the country. We as a country have not done much since the 1980's. We stagnated in The Boomers success and never made a future for their children. Then in the past few years, we have rampant immigration to add to the fire. Canada, for a lack of words is a Dumpster Fire. DON'T MOVE HERE!

Wait if trump says that he’s deporting the family what about the children that were born here could they stay

They could tell who it was since they all look alike? ?‍?

Construction has slowed down here , no one can afford anything , I live in Guelph Ontario on the main floor of a house with three bedrooms , and paying $1800 , I'm one of the lucky ones because my good friend bought this house in 2012 and I moved in , I was paying $1300 up until he sold it three years ago in 2021 and the new owners jacked the price to $1600 for fair market value , we didn't think he could raise it that much but he was able to because of new ownership, as of now 2024 , almost $1800 still not bad for this area , the trick nowadays is to stay put anywhere you are

The problem is not international students themselves; the problem lies with students who cheat the system to become international students.\n\nSecondly, no international students are promised permanent residency (PR). There is a pathway to PR, and the government should ensure it is followed. However, if a student's study or work permit expires, they must leave as they declared when applying for the permit. Canada understands that individuals from developing nations may not want to return home, and that is understandable. But the proper process must be followed.\n\nI agree that the Canadian government has made mistakes. However, international students also took advantage of the system, which I can understand. The government should never have allowed international students to obtain work permits so easily. They should have been required to complete their studies, secure a job offer, and only then apply for a work permit. This would be the point at which their PR process could begin.\n\nWhat the government did instead was detrimental to Canadians. By allowing international students to get work permits immediately, bring their spouses, and provide work permits to them as well, they created challenges. Students should focus on studying first, graduating, and then finding a job—just as it used to be.\n\nThe government should create regulations requiring all publicly funded colleges and universities to cap the fees charged to international students. These institutions should only be allowed to charge a maximum of 15% to 25% above the fees for local students. Charging exorbitant amounts was essentially a form of robbery, exploiting international students with the false hope of permanent residency (PR), which is never guaranteed.

Stay away from these countrys. Dont waste your time. Your time could improve your own country instead

Tyler there are 600 mass shootings in the U.S each year which is almost 2 a day per average and while they do not all take place in schools, how many mass shootings are tolerable? As long as Americans like yourself dismiss all the data to the contrary the U.S will continue to have the tragedies it does, When you look up mass shootings which is where there are more than 2 victims per incident you'll find Canada doesn't even register in those statistics because where the U.S has 600 mass shootings a year Canada hasn't had 600 in its last 100 years. So that is why Canadians mention school shootings as a reason, because the potential is real for it to happen. It is preventable tragedy but Americans as a whole need to want that change, until it does the rest of the world will always bring up gun violence and school shootings when the U.S is in the discussion. The U.S is great but it could be better. Stay blessed ??

Omg what a gentleman and the patience he has! I could never?

Just “IN”, name explains it all they/them/their could achieve

It's truly heartbreaking to witness how things have unfolded between two countries that were once united. I often listen to the stories my grandparents shared, about the peaceful times when they lived in hawalis, surrounded by neighbors who were Hindus, and how they used to cherish the old crockery they brought from Shampura. Those were simple, yet beautiful days, filled with a kind of peace that seems unimaginable today. \n\nI often dream of visiting those places just to reconnect with those memories, but unfortunately, the divide created by the elites in both countries makes it feel impossible. The seeds of hatred have now grown into a tree, and it feels like that tree is spreading, threatening to become a forest. Our elders still remember how the politicians have always manipulated us to keep us divided, but the younger generation has no idea of the harmony we once shared.\n\nCan you even imagine if we could see peace between India and Pakistan in our lifetime? What a difference that would make, to heal these wounds and return to the unity we once had.\n\n?

When it's time to harvest the fruit and do the jobs. The younger canadian's can't and don't want to do ..And we have many.. what happens. To The fruit ready to picked. Let it fall to the ground. With a Canadian dollar about to be only worth about . 60 cents. Good luck Canada. Trying to get 250 lbs kids on a ladder. Picking fruit. . The immigrants are Canadians best friends .The natives and Unions should pick up on that.. and take them under there wing.. or they could destroy the labour unions. Read the history of HENRY Ford in Detroit. And the black people from the Southern U.S.

It's like Canada's problems could be solved if virtually all of the students went into healthcare. The solutions be common sense and yet countries will not implement them. How about make it easier for students studying healthcare to be able to immigrate.

Canada's Obama, only the US economy started to crash in the first month of his reign. Could not stand him. But he got reelected. Thank God presidents in the US can only serve 2 terms.

Bloated government. Radical spending practices. Skyrocketing consultant fees. No accountability in government. What could possibly go wrong?

This happens when your company doesn’t back you, poor guy had to resolve the issue instead he could have easily left the place immediately if he had the backing of his company.

If Canada could afford it then they wouldn’t be taking everything from the food banks and donation places. There’s nothing left for the Canadians suffering. It’s not even affordable for people that have children anymore, which is why we need immigrants and it’s hurting us.

I made the mistake of moving back to Canada from the States. I wish I could go back in time to reverse that decision.

I'm sure there are still some former East German border guards we could ask about running a border!

If these immigrants are going to flood the border to get into this country, the least they could do is learn to speak english.

The government needs to investigate the Kentucky region. When the Amazon building was part destroyed by the hurricane all spam messages on the net stopped for a week. Scam phone calls stopped for two weeks. The one with the AI female USA voice then followed by thick Indian voices is just sickening. There could be many Indians who are living in Kentucky who are hiding thousands of illegal Indians and using stolen money to support them. Horrible people they are.

Does that mean by moving the Palestinian from their own place to other countries so that mission could be success

He could easily take down that racist clown ..?..

Similar story, grew up in Vancouver as a kid. Can't say that I got much from Canada other than a pile of student debt. With a top engineering degree from a Canadian university, no jobs, no interviews. If it set me up for a better future, I could give it some credit, but even with visas, I had *much* better luck with opportunities in the US and even in western Europe, which is similarly socialist to Canada. I have had to move from country to country thanks to the lack of decent opportunity in Canada. More liability than asset, in my experience, other than the passport. Glad I left when I did, only regret I didn't do it sooner. Good luck to wherever you go next. I hear eastern Europe is a cool place, if you bring your income with you ;-)

I struggled for years to get my visa, and someone in a Facebook group suggested Malkoc Edi. He made it happen for me when nobody else could.

Long ago, Canadians lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when\n\n the Poop & Covid Nation attacked. Only the PM, master of all budget elements,\n\n could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred \n\nyears passed and my brother and I discovered the same PM, a PM\n\n named Woke. And although his talking skills are great, he has a lot to learn before\n\n he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Woke can't save the world.

At first, I wasn’t sure if Malkoc Edi could really help, but after years of trying on my own, I had nothing to lose. He fixed my application issues, and it worked!

4.9 million temporary residents are supposed to leave by December 2025. If I could pick where my tax dollars are spent I would like it to be spent on this. It would solve so many issues. Housing, unemployment, wages, safer roads and less poop on the beaches

Kind of stupid considering that u could have gotten into strip mall schools that were all considered legit\n No need for this fraud

Who elected Tom Homan to run Canada's immigration laws? Maybe he could spend some time getting his own house in order.

Don’t forget, Stephen Harper did away with 1100 jobs at Canadian Border Security as well as the Sniffer Dog Teams looking for drugs\nat our borders. Stephen Harper took $50 million out of Border Security so Tony Clement could spread out money in Parry Sound- Muskoka.\n That’s how serious Conservatives take Canadian Borders.

Many years ago (I am 82) my husband was a post doc at Princeton. In case we wanted to stay in the USA a few years we became immigrants. While many people were pleasant and interesting , we hated the general culture there. The racism, medical expenses, the lack of public parks, public transportation , etc. we found very unpleasant. I became pregnant. My doctor who was kindly however had to suddenly flee the state as his wife was having him arrested ! He gave me info about places my child could be born on our trip home if necessary at our last meeting for I decided that my child would definitely be a Canadian! So, we packed up and left the month before my son was born. LOL.My recent ancestors are French Canadian, British, Scot , and I am descended from a Loyalist Niagara area family - but am also descended from every founding ethnic leader in the USA! Even several on the Mayflower! So, most Americans are my cousins! I think they have gone astray!

It's sad how a country that could have been the most prosperous was ruined by greed

Try this stunt in a US visa center and see the result. Here she could take in her cell phone

Ilegal immigrants Slowly are destroying American culture. They are bringing the same third-world problems, crimes, and language into America. If you want to go to America you must to apply a visa, documents. Also, if you think mass deportation could affect the economy, simply create more seasonal visas, allow students — including those in English language programs — to work part-time, and issue more visas for documented individuals who are not criminals with not proper documentation..

He could barely even speak English

Does anyone know exactly what this means? Does it apply only to future citizenships, or could it also result in people having their citizenship revoked? If so, how would it be determined who gets to stay or leave? Who would this law specifically affect? If it involves revoking citizenship, it could suggest intentions to target certain ethnicities, resembling a form of racial cleansing. Correct me if I’m wrong, but if anyone has more information, that would be really helpful. So far, I haven’t heard much about who might be impacted, but it seems like this law could put a lot of people at risk.

Trump's argument against birthright citizenship would have been more effective if instead of saying that the United States is the only country that has it, which isn't accurate, he could have said that out of 195 countries on the planet, only 33 countries besides the United States have birthright citizenship so why shouldn't the United States be in the majority and not have birthright citizenship?
