Fantastic video. Canada needs to reassess its approach to immigration. We need to focus on sustainable, long-term solutions and prioritize our citizens first. ?#canadafirst #responsibleimmigration

India indirectly paid Canada 6 billion Canadian Dollars for tuition. ?

Feels like we are overlooking the fact that Russia invaded Ukraine and Canada approved over a million asylum seekers fleeing the war. I am only 7 mins in, but seems like a huge part of the equation especially given the Youtubers sound like they natively came from that region of the world.

The fact that you could get the same amount of money on CERB as working a full time job that pays above minimum wage. I made $2 above minimum and I got about $100 above CERB over the month....... All this is why so many said no to working their backsides off to live paycheque to paycheque. Myself, I need to have a routine. So I went back to work ASAP after my job being eliminated at the start of the pandemic. Now everywhere I look I do not recognize Canada. I feel like i'm in a different country. The old way of life has been wiped out in a few years..... Learn Punjabi while you can, won't have a choice by the end of the decade.

Are you able to assist for a fee to apply for jobs for someone with a degree already but are outside Canada at the moment?

Main Insights and Conclusions from the Video\n\nEconomic Challenges and Public Sentiment:\n\nInflation and housing costs have risen sharply, impacting Canadians' quality of life.\nFood bank usage has doubled, and homeownership rates have declined significantly.\nYounger Canadians find homeownership increasingly unattainable, fueling frustration.\nPublic sentiment has turned against immigration for the first time in decades, with over 60% of Canadians believing the country is taking in too many immigrants.\n\nImmigration Policies and Impacts:\n\nCanada experienced record immigration levels in recent years, with 471,000 permanent residents admitted in 2023 and a population growth of 1 million annually due to other immigration streams (e.g., international students and temporary workers).\nImmigration was used as a tool to address labor shortages and generate economic stimulus post-pandemic, but it led to unforeseen consequences like overburdened infrastructure, rising housing costs, and strain on public services.\nConcerns about integration and cultural tensions arose due to the rapid pace and scale of immigration.\n\nEconomic Consequences:\n\nDespite immigration filling labor gaps, Canada’s productivity declined for the third consecutive year, revealing deeper systemic issues like underinvestment in technology, outdated infrastructure, and stagnant wages.\nPublic services, such as healthcare, struggled to meet the increased demand, leading to longer wait times and staff burnout.\n\nImmigration Reforms in 2024\n\nThe federal government introduced significant reforms:\n\nA 20% reduction in permanent resident admissions over three years.\nCaps on temporary foreign workers and international student permits.\nPost-graduate work permit (PGWP) eligibility tied to labor market needs and stricter language requirements.\nWage caps for low-wage temporary foreign workers and adjustments to immigration programs at the provincial level.\nThese measures aim to manage population growth, alleviate pressure on housing and public services, and improve the quality of immigrants to align with labor market needs.\n\nCritiques and Trade-offs:\n\nWhile the reforms may ease strain on infrastructure and align with public sentiment, critics argue they could exacerbate labor shortages in critical sectors like healthcare, construction, and agriculture.\nThe underlying economic issues, such as low productivity, outdated zoning laws, and inadequate infrastructure, remain unaddressed.\nReducing immigration without broader systemic reforms may hinder economic growth in the long term.\n\nSocial Dynamics and Public Trust:\n\nThe reforms are seen as an attempt to rebuild public trust in the government amid declining approval ratings.\nCritics worry these policies are politically motivated rather than aimed at long-term solutions.\nRising public dissatisfaction stems from perceptions of unequal treatment between immigrants and native Canadians, along with growing social tensions.\n\nRecommendations for Future Actions:\n\nExperts suggest combining immigration reforms with investments in infrastructure, technology, and workforce training to tackle deeper systemic challenges.\nEncouraging regional immigration could alleviate urban overcrowding but requires sufficient infrastructure and resources to support newcomers in less-populated areas.\nEnhancing the quality of immigrants through stricter selection criteria and promoting cultural integration can address public concerns while maintaining economic benefits.\n\nFinal Reflections:\n\nOver-reliance on immigration as an economic solution has led to complacency and structural weaknesses.\nWhile immigration is vital for growth, it should be part of a balanced approach that includes investments in innovation and productivity improvements.\nCanada needs to rethink its strategies to remain competitive and sustainable in the long term while addressing public concerns and fostering integration.\nThe video's overarching message highlights the complexities of immigration and economic policy, emphasizing that piecemeal solutions, like reducing immigration, are insufficient without addressing broader systemic issues.

Yeah the government is going hard after immigrants right now, which is good because there was a lot of abuse and the rate of immigration was far too high, but also it's not the root of the problem where housing is concerned. \n\nIn this way, immigrants are a scapegoat for the housing crisis. They're being offered up as sacrificial lambs to the slaughter by our politicians in the hopes that it will appease voters. But at the same time our politicians also hoping that we don't notice how little they're doing to actually solve the real fundamental problems.\n\nBut solving those problems will require a complete shift in our approach to the finance sector and the tax code, as well as towards city planning and housing policy in general. These are things we can achieve. But not without significant adjustments to the status quo. And if there's one thing the status quo hates, it's changes to the status quo.\n\nSo here's what I expect from our politicians in years to come: more of the same empty promises and half measures. They'll keep doing that until there's a massive market correction and everyone in Canada loses their shirt. And then they'll continue doing the same empty promises and half measures, while hypocritically blaming the rival party for their own failures.

This was a great video! My family and I are considering relocating to Canada from the USA, as we are dual citizens, and this helps to explain what’s really going on up there. Still very interested in moving to Canada, but will need to do more research on areas that I think are best for us. Thank you for this detailed video!

Canada is horrible ??

To put it simply, Canadians have swung too far to the left and have become naive and brainwashed to think that a part-time ski instructor and high school drama teacher with the last name Trudeau could make good decisions for Canada’s future. \nThat worked out as U.S. conservative pragmatists have predicted it would.

I’m all for immigrants coming in to Canada. they need to come in when we have infrastructure and housing ready for everybody.

The problem is not Trudeau. The problem is imbecules who voted for him. And they are not going anywhere so Canada is done

I am an Indian, came here for ML research. Was unpleasantly surprised to witness so many unskilled Indians ruining the country. Uneducated, can't speak English, rude, unkempt. Like I love my country but I also love the country I immigrated to. I know tons of Indian friends like me who feel the same way. We all feel like we scammed ourselves into coming here. Every doordash and uber guy in Toronto is an Indian guy, who probably came here through a diploma mill. Why did Canada let this happen? Weirdly enough, even now, it's easier to get into Canada as a Khalistani terrorist or an LMIA abuser with a fake IELTS score and fake college admission letter than honest Indians who come here for higher education at good schools. Anyone reading this and from India, just go to the US man. At least despite the H1B lottery they respect your time more than Canada and you earn way more in 2-3 years than you would here in 6 years.\n\nPs : I singled out Indians since I am one but Palestinian refugees with their never ending incessant virtue signalling marches, Ukrainians with their virtue signalling marches and destruction of property, middle eastern refugees etc are all part of the problem. It's like they came here to bring their problems with them.

tired of these faces in canada

Right now, even the corrupt Spain is better than Canada...

We need to annex Canada at this point. Trudeau needs to stand trial for his crimes.

It's your fault. Students should have applied for asylum the first day they arrived in canada airports or land . Now after your enjoy your study for 2-5 year it's let.. you will be deported by the laws of immigration. Thats a fact. Bye bye

How dare these people come to Canada, like they have rights here . THEY DONOT .

Time america and Canada start sending people back home others too now clean up government to

Canada never had a Prime Minister that wasn't in government to line their pockets. Never met an honest politician yet.

One ? Justin Turdo makes Canadian immigration weak and laughable. All these foreigners think they can come into America and Canada and live a happy comfortly life on hard working middle class tax payers dollars. We need a mass deportion before it's too late, starting with getting rid of the Liberals and the NDP permanently. And enforcing an aggressive mandatory immigration deportion for illegals and those on a temporary student visa or working visa.

Trump’s strict immigration policies will stop illegal migration from Canada and other countries and they need to stop having that better life in the USA mentality because they don’t have the meaningful job skills to earn a decent wage or don’t have a fancy college degree to get a six figure salary; they need to remain in their own countries and try their best to survive.

Why are so many Punjabi people rushing to USA and Canada enough now guys it's not worth the risk India is beautiful live work be happy

Finally ; send them home we’re in an economic crisis of our own in jobs ,, housing, healthcare . We need to upgrade our education for our own citizens in canada as well.

Yeah trump will show how Mexico will end up if they don’t follow the rule and so is Canada

A little more complicated when it comes to Mexico & Canada, did you say? Maybe because djt was one of the negotiators for the US when NAFTA ended, & was replaced by the new Free Trade agreement for we three N.Amer countries. He signed it. So what now? He's torn it up? Flushed it down the toilet? I'll say it's a little more complicated, and potentially a LOT more so.

Left Canada about 10 month ago, raised and born. Never going back, the country is in a complete decline, the climate is horrible, in Quebec the taxes are insane and the service is 0. RIP

The U S and Canada are under siege by Hindus from India

Morons at CNN News. A lot of talk about Mexico and China? Hey, Yanks, you do more trade with Canada than any other country, and Trump complains about drugs coming in from Canada, (when about 1,000 times as much comes in from Mexico). What idiots you are!

Canada and Mexico will not take it lying down! Enough of Trump and his crazy nonsense! I can't even imagine the extent of his ignorance on important economic matters and every other matter. This must be how insanity looks and sounds like. Americans will have to deal with him themselves. He is so full of it!

We need to have a wall built from east to west at our southern border and our southern neighbors should pay for it. ~ Canada

Canada should turn off the oil and gas to the United States as should Mexico

mexico and canada should join BRICS if those tariff goes through

Would be hilarious if mexico, canada, europe and china collectively tell the u.s to go to hell and cut all ties and trades to them.

The fun part will come when Mexico and Canada turn to China to fill the opening in trade and just X the US out of the entire convo. Then we’re truly fucked.

Good , now Mexico just stop selling to US. Find new markets like Canada. To hell with this crap

It all boils down to individual perspective and preferences. Opportunity-wise, USA offers more opportunities than Canada. Safety-wise, Canada is safer than the USA. Aging-wise, Canada offers more free health-care than the USA, although it depends on where in the USA you are located. So, to each his own preferences and expectations.

If you make over $220 Cdn, expect 50% tax if in Ontario. Then you have high property tax, high sales tax, tax tax to pay for a crumbling health care system and education system. If you need social support, come to Canada! The others will support you through our taxes! lol socialism sucks

I said it 3 weeks ago that canada want tolerate those migrants. Canadian gov dont send them here

Wait for me Canada, I'm on my way ? From Brazil ??

Canada has made it way too easy to claim asylum status

Trudeau and Ford saying come to Canada for their rich friends mhmmm don’t worry about it because taxpayers pay for everything, no conscience at all

About 10 years ago I had a chance to move to Canada. I'm sooo glad I didn't.

canada is over....I run from canada 3 yasrs ago

Good move Canada.

Khalistanis have ruined Canada

Indians in Canada have proven they do not aclimate to our culture. Their culture is replete with misogyny and racism, why do we want to import that to Canada?

Canada embassy does not check admission letter??

What’s the bright side of Canada?
