We need an immigration reversal. 390,000 removals each year.

The Tent encampments have absolutely nothing to do with the immigration! Majority of the people in these tents have the drug and alcohol addiction! \n\nThey need decent rehab placements and community support! \nAlso, not everyone wants to get off the high of the drugs! \n\nNevertheless, there needs to be more rehab centres opened! It’s a big issue for those seeking help and not getting any, long wait lists! \n\nAnd, these Rehab places need to have the Govt Accreditation, licensing, supervision and inspections! Some of these places ( inl the private ones), I have read, are very low quality where the illegal drugs are available and abuse goes on!

That magic number that Canadians would like to get to is ZERO. We've already taken in more than we're equipped to deal with and need a complete halt to further immigration. If your kitchen sink was overflowing, the first thing you would do would be to turn off the taps and then deal with the problem.

This immigration minister Marc miller needs to step down. He’s the reason why so many Punjabi are here in Canada for permanent residency

Immigration is ongoing Colonization. And Canadians are MAD, because you have allowed for people from countries with HIGH RATES of pro-sexually violent cultural views, and low standards of hygiene and politeness into our country. And you let them come here as students and take up first world spots for first world Canadians. And FYI, there is tons of sexual violence on university campuses…so that tracks. \nYou let these people who are anti-dark skin into the country, and then you say because they are “racialized” they can’t be racist. That’s not how racism works, and I want my racists to be domestic, because then at least we share a cultural thread of unity: Canadian born and raised. Why are we being subjected to this B.S?? \nGOC has not created a way for us to report immigrants who are rude or abusive to Canadians, and who have over-stayed their visas. DEPORT THEM. When they commit crimes, instead of deporting them, you let them stay. They’re old women are also crooks and in on it. Imagine bringing the people who call and scam from Indian and Nigeria to Canada so they can just do it from here. Wild. And the Chinese (not Asians, I mean the Chinese)…are the colonizers of their part of the world, AND they cheat in schools. So you’re giving graduates spots to cheaters, liars, anti-Canadian, and racists. Canada never had a diversity problem, we had a supremacy problem, and we still do. And Canadian DOES NOT MEAN WHITE. So stop making this a race thing. \nYou let them snap up our houses and our land and jack up the prices, and force us into homelessness and prostitution to pay rent, and into drug addictions because of a lack of purpose. So the GOC literally just implemented the same strategy they used to place indigenous people onto reserves, but now it’s for all Canadians. And make no mistake: high rents for bento-box “luxury”/rat infested housing are min-reserves that are not built for Canadian bodies or our aging/disabled population. \nDEPORT THEM AND REFRAIN FROM GIVING THESE ANCHOR BABIES CITIZENSHIP. If they come here to have their babies, instead of giving them a Canadian birth certificate, you should be getting that certificate from their consulate. Cause at this point that’s just trafficking and financial fraud/abuse. We all know they come here to get the benefits and the domestic tuition, and a lot go right back to China. And it does seem to be the Chinese, Indians, and Nigerians (a lovely EDI mix) of thieves. \nCanada has spoken, we don’t want them, we don’t like them; and they do not like us, they want us out of our own country. This isn’t a racial issue; this is a cultural issue. You cannot have these anti-West people in our western nation. They gotta go. And who cares about the international students anymore or the money “they bring in”. Universities are registered not-for-profits in Canada, so the for-profit argument can’t track. \nCanada needs a RICO law so we can more easily seize their assets and expel them, and hold universities to the fire for this crap, and the government officials getting kickbacks. The GOC is the largest human trafficking pimps, and the universities are bottom bi***es. And don’t think we don’t know that the 30% cap DOESN’T apply to companies like Navitas who recruit for the universities, are housed in the universities, but are separate, private companies.

We need a CAP nationality of immigrants, for 5 years straight, 85% of immigrants are from India ??. This isn’t multiculturalism. It’s simply Canada becoming Indians. This is a disaster,reinstate nation limits once again. We immigrated to Canada, NOT India ??. Wake up.

We just need to stop letting immigrants from countries and beliefs that go directly against Canadian values and people who put their mid-era values and rules ABOVE Canadian law!

Potentially mismanaged \nRelying on food bank\nRefugees that land in toronto are occupying pur shelter systems\nNo solutions \nCanadian living in tents encampment \nUnaffordable rent\nCountry is not dealing with problems \nRate cuts is not a solution when more n more are coming n the once here cant even afford a home\nAffordability is impacting everone already n no one is listening \nImmigration plans needs to be careful review because proposal still not working n it's now out of control. They should have keep on top on the provinces n follow up most didn't stay in school \nTemporary immigration not an pr?\nCorrect they need to pay taxpayers for their mistake \nIt impacted alright \nAmbitious goals have cost a division in cultures. U don't see a mix of immigrants u onlybsee one.\nLook at housing . Canadians are being kick out of their apartments because they want to rent high rent to knew immigrants how is this fair. It's sad that the city violence has gone up n the amount of residents that are being affected ????\nLots of issues that really need to get fix.\nYes focus stop the landlord from kicking people out of the apartments just cause they want to be greedy as from breaking the law rules???

What? We need a complete halt to immigration until we deport all the people who shouldn't have been able to get here in the first place. We have a bunch of terrorists supporters running around our country protesting and taking up resources that should be for ACTUAL Canadians. Not to mention all the real criminals that they let in. Known terrorists and cartel members, who brought weapons and drugs in.

Canada immigration is a big scam. There are no decent jobs for the immigrant professionals. Feel trapped after moving to canada. You cant get jobs in the govt or semi govt companies. Only those who have connections. Private companies have no obligation of hiring immigrants. They hire or outsource as they like. They need cheap labor. This immigration is a total failure.

Diversity wasn't our strength, Canadian values were. Don't ever let anyone tell you canada doesn't have culture. We had a bright culture of men bejng men, woman being woman, kindness, kindness to your fellow neighbour's, pride our national game of hocker. Love of winter and al things nature related. We are the north, and that was the culture we built in for generations. Immigrants need to to adapt and learn our culture that's why you can't let in That many from ones country all at once. They never assimilate they just make pockets of India everywhere.

Along with these measures make sure those who are here (some fraudulently) follow the Canadian rules. Make it official to hire Canadians born & raised. Other countries are doing it. There is a cost for everyone that is here. Are they paying enough taxes? Sweden is paying $45000 to every immigrant to leave. Canada needs to look at the cost-benefit ratio. Immigration is not a right, it is a permission given by host country.

Nope. We don't need a *reduction* - WE NEED AN IMMIGRATION FREEZE *PERIOD*\nThis isn't about Canadian interests - this is ALL about Justin's ratings and party votes.\nA message for Justin & his LibTards - as a sign of my utmost respect for you and your party - please accept my biggest *TWIN MIDDLE FINGER SALUTE* - Thanks to you and your green-stream-politics, everywhere I look, my country SUCKS more and more each every day. FU one and all..

So many are crizizing having no idea how to to to a sane plan to reach their objective. People with little education or experience in this field have strong opinions based on their biases. I'd like to not cover non citizens with provincial health or social programs until they are citizens and working. I'd like anyone committing crimes and is a non citizen, jailed and then deported. We don't need new criminals or drains on our social programs. I think most new immigrants are good people, but why should we pay for the others.

The current government increased immigration to have them beholding to them and so they get votes. At the same time they are leaving people that were born here, homeless and living in tent while the immigrants are taking up the shelter spaces and the Canadian tax payers footing the bill for them to live in motels and Ontario housings. I can tell you that if the homeless people in our community were voting, this would never of happened and they would not be living in our parks, in tents. As for me, I would give my address for them to have an address to vote from. All homed Canadians should be doing this to help these people have a voice in the country that they were born in. VOTING IN POWER FOR THESE PEOPLE! Make no doubt the the large portion of our homeless community have mental health issues and our society (GOVERNMENT) is not helping them. We are loosing generations of our Canadians. The Mental Health Act trumps The Rights of Freedom. Under The Mental Health Act if a person is a danger to their self or others, they are to be formed and get the help they need....SHAME ON THE GOVERNMENT

Dominik Tarczynski Poland law & Justice Minister is what we need here in Canada because of our mentally challenged and unhinged government who dont care about Canada and its home grown people, we have to totally tear down the immigration department and STOP MIGRANTS we dont need them they surpress the economy, housing , jobs and dont respect our culture and heritage its the immigrants WAKE UP we have to put a permanent freeze on this we have to rid this Government and make Canada great and Re-Christianise Canada and nske strong families Stop sexualizing children in schools Stop transgenders and make stronger laws against them snd specializing if the children we should learn a thing or two from Poland , CANADA STOP IMMIGRATION NOW!!

Reduction is not good enough, we need a freeze. Massive immigration has destroyed our country thanks to Trudeau who doesn’t know how to run a country and never should have been put into power in the first place. The only reason he’s doing this now is because he’s hoping it will get him votes because he knows he’s done. He should have been thrown out years ago

We need people understanding the term racist or racist. And a note on diversity to respect boundaries opinions And put the quota on each country and a criminal record check and not a pardon waiver. And a contract to obey laws stating from gun threats abuse or involvement in gangs, being polite and not getting in gangs n fights. No dui. Immigrants state in number that they are not aware of these things or are ignored that they lead to mistakes..

Miller and Trudeau need to stop allowing immigrations

This is the Liberal government and Marc Miller (the immigration minister that doesn’t feel police checks on immigrants from their homeland is needed) they will not do anything noticeable if anything at all. Just an election ploy

Immigration needs to stop entirely. I would go so far as to send asylum seekers that are already here elsewhere, or send them home. Especially since the majority of them could have settled in dozens of other countries but skipped over them to come here and America.\n\nShut it down completely and focus on Canadians. But we all know that will never happen. Not with their boss pulling all the strings

I LOVE IMMIGRANT, WE NEED MORE MORE MORE

WHAT WORKERS? Canada doesn't need millions of Tim Hortons and Skip the Dishes workers, we need WELDERS, CONSTRUCTION, and SKILLED HEALTHCARE WORKERS! The amount of unskilled workers and students needs to be further slashed, if not completely barred for YEARS to deal with what this government has done.\n\nUnder 2% of the immigrants under Trudeau's government had ANY skilled related to building ANYTHING. Why were they allowed? Canada has no need for unskilled workers, particularly unskilled, unmarried, uneducated young men!

Look here, they just need to upgrade standards of the immigrants. They are taking in losers. Back in the day, they took in only people who could add value to our society. Now they come here, drive Uber, take the calls and drive up the rent while they act with no respect.

This is Canada In a nutshell someone comes to someone house “can I come in “. Sure put we are to to full\nBut I am sure we can stick you somewhere “ oh and here is a paper you have to pay taxes between 20% to 53% the more you make the more taxes you pay so if you make say 100k you pay 9.15% if you make 120K to 150K 11.16% if you make 150K to 220k 12.16% so you will never get ahead no matter how much you make lots of people find out how living in Canada is really like all they see are the mountains , rivers. That’s how they get you . Preety soon Canada will have 1 billion people ??. People that work on minimum wage don’t know how they are affording things ?. We need to cut immigration

it needs to be less than 300k a year. 395k is still much higher than what is was in 2019. Harper did a great job and when the liberals took over, we had nothing but corruption and scandals and life is now so unaffordable. Canada needs immigrants to fuel the economy but it has to be done right. This liberal government was warned that bringing in too many will add too mich pressure to health, housing etc. but ignored them and brought in 1.5 million immigrants

we need to have the same immigration system as in Australia(based only on professional prequalifications)

These incompetents are just now listening to what Canadians have been screaming and shouting for two years. \nStill not nearly enough. It needs to almost stop and whatever remains should be broad based in terms of where immigrants are coming from. It’s mainly been South Asia and mostly India for past few years. \nWhat’s wrong with their heads? Why can’t they see what’s been going on?

They need to start sending them back. Stop all immigration...No more pajeets, Africans, Asians, or island people. Enough is enough.

Lol liberals need votes huh? Don't just cut it, butcher it and throw this mass immigration in the trash and let's get organic wholesome numbers that we can place all over Canada over time instead of this mass pool of people in our major city's, this is such a joke, immigration can be done correctly look at the UAE or Saudi Arabia, huge swaths of there population are foreign born and they handle this so well, crime is non existent in these nations, maybe its religious values/rules????? Something Canada lacks forsure, Canadian people lack gumption.

Indian immigration needs to stop for 100 years

I'm pretty sure that the govt have done an immigration freeze before. Many applications were just halted and nothing happened for several months. This was a decade or so ago.\nBut yes if Stephen Harper was stupid enough to increase the immigration numbers then we know who to blame - the Conservatives!! \nSO DO NOT VOTE for the Conservatives. They just want money - Taxes. That is all. They will probably also increase the numbers again for more new taxes. \nRemember Conservatives = Trump. These people act like Trump. Greedy for Power and Money. This also means Doug Ford as well!! \nTrudeau should also have cut back these numbers ASAP during and after the Pandemic. Someone did not advise him very well at all. \nI do agree that Trudeau needs to do another freeze and not accept any new applications for at least 6 to 12 months, in order to process those applications already in the system.\nTrudeau then needs to severely cut the incoming numbers back to 200K like they used to be. And then keep it to that level!!

I do believe in immigration. Canada was built on immigrants and they are a huge part of Canadas identity. THat being said we need to have proper housing and infrastructure for the people we take in. To bring people into the country when we don't have jobs, housing, and overload the health care and other facilities is just bad decision making. I am against closing the doors forever but when we have room for more then we take more until that time we will have to reduce or shutdown the immigration flow.

My life has already been ruined. We need to freeze immigration, cleanup the immigrants you have already let in. I’m all for immigration, but just like everything else there’s a responsible way of doing something and a negligent way. And Trudeau. You’ve f’d Canada for all young and old Canadians. You’ve already destroyed all of our lives

NAH THH EVERY RECENT IMMIGRANT IN LAST 10 YEARS NEEDS TO GTFO. Taking all the resources from all the hardworking Canadians and rude while at it

Marc and Sean Fraser should be fired long long time ago. On July 12th 2023 Sean Fraser gave $879 million tax payers money to Toronto for illegal refugees and immigrant. Sean also told Toronto Mayor Chow Chow if she need millions of billions more she can call Sean any time he is only phone call away, while Canadians mother has to choose pay rent or buy grocery across the country.

We need to mass deport everyone Trudeau brought in since 2016 and close the border. Mass immigration is a nation killer.

This is disheartening... this means that my husband will never be able to live with us. My children will grow up without their father, and for some reason, Canadians are OK with Canadian children growing up in a broken home. It's going to take 35 months, for my husband to be able to immigrate to this country. That's 2 1/2 year that my kids won't have a dad, our son especially is suffering. He has a serious disease, is often hospitalized, and I'm a married woman living as a single mother. Now I'll need to rely on the government for more financial support, and my 6 year old is actually depressed because his dad is years away from being with him. I work full time, have a great home, and a side business. But now I'll need to depend on meds and disability support to take care of my child, when he has an ablebodied father that can support us, especially when our child is in one of his regular hospitalization. You all are cruel.

You destroyed the immigration system. It's on your back....that's why you are gone next election. You didn't look after Canadians. Canadians need jobs and homes and health care. A freeze needs to be put in place not a reduction Business are relying on immigrants because it costs them less. You screwed Canadians out of good jobs, good wages, good housing and good health care. Stop lying.

So many deserve prison.\n\nThe economy does not need Immigration,.

India needs to be stop first cause they are causing the trouble for other immigrants that really need help.

There should be zero immigrants coming to this country right now. This government needs to help the sick, disabled, addicted Canadians befire any other people. There are Canadians living on the streets while they watch immigrants stroll into hotels & get new phones & money for just about everything. \n\nThis is more smoke blowing! Nope! I'm not falling for the Liberal/NDP b.s. ever again! Our services are destroyed. Fix those first! Help Canadians first! Our tax $$ have been going to foreign countries & immigrants for too long.

We need mass deportation and 0 immigration

This is a bandaid, we need full stop immigration.

People who only blame immigrants have no idea how low the birth rate is in Canada. Just think how many families with children there are. Without these immigrants the country's population would be in decline, like in Korea and Japan. Immigration cannot be zero simply because the country needs it. But it is true that everything has gotten out of control. Policies must be reviewed to avoid fraud and saturation of services.

We need 80% cut! 20% is not enough!! We need to reform and fix our country for this massive immigration problem!

Why? Because it was a non-plan and completely DETRIMENTAL to this country and PREDATORY to many of those immigrants who upon their expensive one way trip realized they are walking into a health care/education/infrastructure/housing/employment system that is woefully inadequate for meeting even the needs of the people who ARE ALREADY HERE. \ncriminals and clowns have been running this country into the ground.\n\nClaiming that massive immigration prevented a recession is admitting that you used immigration influx to fudge your otherwise dwindling, nose diving economic numbers.... MINISTER.

It’s still 40% higher than it was in 2014. We need to halt immigration completely for the next couple of years. Also not so many from one country!

Your talking about housing be built by 2027. If TRUDEAU can give money to immigrants, he should be giving seniors 2,000 dollars a month until housing is built. We need immediate results. It's cold ? outside in Canada. CALGARY
