Why are these Crypto Canadians and the journalists perpetually crying and being victims?! Man up to your actions and statements. Act like paper tigers in front of Indians and go crying to the media in Canada like wimps.

Hi miss I really want to go to canada were the massage get for me?

Why doesn't this guy mention how we don't do a good job in Canada of screening people who come here? He doesn't want to admit we have a problem here with that, the government has lowered standards and removed restrictions in order shovel more and more people into the country without properly assessing them.

Shame on canadian media for speaking falsehood...visa is privilege not a right...we have all rights to decide on our matters...when canada deny visa then canada not weaponizing visas? Nonsense media like nonsense pm

Canada will decide whats good for the country

Canada and Britain are now communist countries

is baking ( cakes and cupcakes) is good business in canada

Idk i think you need to realize that we also have our bias in addition to you having yours. Meaning, to most of us , excepting the most left leaning socially progressive pockets and contexts , which even then wouldn’t be viewed that way to us just acceptable lol ?\n\nOur baseline/political middle in Canada is A LOT more left leaning than the baseline normal/political middle in the states. So while people tend to equate your democrats to our liberals or our NDP , and equate your republicans to our conservatives. It’s just not accurate. If you throw our span of parties and American span of parties on the SAME spectrum /polarity line. You might be surprised to realize how shifted left our systems range politically is from the American one. \n\nThis hugely impacts the average normal expectation , what we clutch our pearls at hearing coming out of the mouths of the general public , and our range of what we expect to not hear or see ranted about unless they’re to our view , extremely right leaning politically /social values. \n\nFor us this means that actually genuinely , a lot of America does get experiences by us as bat shit crazy racist homophobic immigrant intolerant culturally and religiously ignorant , and somewhat backwards in larger or smaller amounts ? I know that’s not fun to hear but. Being the most diverse country based so much on immigration means. What is normal and known /familiar and normal so we aren’t ignorant to , is completely different. \n\nFor us we have our pockets usually in more rural less populated areas further away from larger cities where there is more diversity but that’s the same often in many countries that you will find some of the louder racist homophobic intolerant voices typically in places that truly are unfamiliar and ignorant to the experience of growing up with and around much of any diversity of varying kinds. So it’s not to say we don’t have racism and intolerance of course like anywhere we do. It’s just contained and the range and frequency and intensity is MUCH different. We distinguish nuances of diff cultures and religions more easily and in larger numbers we’re more familiar with diff ways of life , language , food, dress , holidays , values and used to a much less segregated way of existing even when we are differnt from each other as the NORM. My parents were both born in the states and my older brother was born there but they moved up here when he was a baby. So nearly all my extended family lives down there and I’m a duelly. And my experiences discussing things with my cousins or visiting absolutely could be described as culture shock at times. The insane things that came out of my own cousins mouths when they hear our friends or partners of various cultures , our not understanding how big a deal and incredibly insulting apparently it is to have assumed someone American was lgbt lol the list goes on. Like I don’t think our most intolerant Pockets can hold a flame to even ur closet to middle a bit intolerant places and contexts in America. Quite honestly. \n\nI think the absolute undying favourable passionate upholding and support of nationalistic, capitalist, hyper individualistic mentality about society as a whole (from my Canadian born and bred perspective lol) makes the differences even more glaring blaring and hard to swallow for us lol. I think more Canadians would feel exactly how that comment stated , that you felt was not fair for us to experience America as. I think the truth is a lot of Canadians are being too polite to let you know that’s exactly how a lot of America comes off to a lot of Canada ?

In the Philippines ( I'm focusing on that country as a born Canadian Filipino ) there was a 40% rise in, not only immigration, but exclusively mostly caucasian immigration to the Philippines. Prices in the Philippines then skyrocketed exponentially. Yet, they ( The Philippines ) NOT ONCE complained....in general, let alone frabricated ussues to complain about like the manner which is demonstrated in all of North America. So, how much worse, how much more problematic, is the basically small percentage of immigration is in Canada?\n\nFurthermore, in the Philippines exclusively, the immigrants there, not care to learn the Filipino language and would rather go poor, than contribute to the labour force of the Philippines. So....HOW MUCH MORE VALID are Canadian problems with immigration?

Europeans built this continent and now these third world country immigrants have destroyed it ! Maybe it’s better for Canada to become the 51st state ,at least Trump will send them back!

There are over 120 million unemployed, jobless Indians in India without a future. That's 3 times the entire population of Canada. Canada is unable to and cannot solve India unemployment problems. ?

They all says only 1 thing at covid19 we worked only bc rest of canada was so scared to step out from homes dude nibody forced you comes to canada and worked for urself a d for ur family so stop gives these baseless excuse

Build a perimeter borders around Canada and USA and keep illegal immigration down and eliminate it!

Why when my Visa expires in a foreign country I have to leave, but when one expires in Canada, seems no one thinks they need to leave. You are not citizens, time to go.

100 days of prooving that are not needed by sitting idle. Get them tf out of Canada.

If Canada lets anymore stay , i am going to have to leave my home just to be happy

Stop our institutional criminals. 0 foreign students.. shame on the leaders of Canada. Shame shame shame

Canada turning into a third world country one immigrant at a time. If they can’t support and feed themselves they are taking food and services away from Canadians

Wait what? Why you're here after your permits are over? Canada have rules I hope such violations should ban them from coming again.

Canada know what is best for Canada.

Why TF are they coming to the US? They've already fled their country to go to the West. Canada is the West. They can stay there. We have a tough economy as well. Get out!!!!!

Instead of talking about Canada you should be concerned about why Indians in Canada don’t want to return to India

5 million temporary foreign workers are to leave Canada in 2025 which will bring down unemployment, rental . Who cause all this..the federal Liberals and Justin Trudeau

One works primarily for Canada's civil servants at the municipal, provincial, and federal levels. \n\nLike many, I was fed up paying 52% in taxes, became very concerned with the quality and availability of healthcare, and thoroughly disgusted how the federal government protected minority rights. Moving to Europe was absolutely, positively, the best thing I could have ever done.

Loved this quote you said near the end,I have faith in Canada ??❤️\nSo does every patriotic Canadian and the honest hardworking immigrant who respects, admires and integrates with the Canadian culture ?

Canada and USA should deport them because they are breaking the law even they got legal in any of the countries.

You want the whole of india to take over america snd. Canada other countries need a better life too

Reddit may not be a full representation of Canada either.

Watching Canadians become racist .. or should I say their reel faces ... u can blame emigrants all u want but if it weren't for emigrants canada were never built

Don't worry Canada I saw countless rich people and celebs from the US swearing they are moving to Canada after Trump and Canada is the dream so all you guys need to do is just wait.

canada will give Indians more student visas and they’ll cross illegally ??.

The entire Immigration System got screwed up somewhere, due to Government Ministers who had or have NO clue what the job entailed.\nI came to Canada in mid 1970s from ENGLAND. I was not allowed into Canada, unless I could prove that I could READ, WRITE, and \nSPEAK ENGLISH (many will attest to this) I had to prove that I was EDUCATED enough, to be able to be employed. I had to have \nenough money so NOT to have to access government funds. Please think about this! Today, it is much different to get to Canada.\nI guess ILLEGAL immigration is now, part of the Canadian problem.

There is not such a situation where immigrants are happily welcomed, no matter where you come from, where you are at. This is a business model run by goverments to make profit. In the case of Canada, they did not know how to run their business properly.

I bet Trudeau is having the time of his life, all them new voters. Plus if you are from India then why come to Canada, as Trudeau and his Government has shown how he disrespects India and the Indian people but he loves Islam.

How much have the demographics of Canada changed since 2001, I'm curious. From what I read, people are acting like Indians and foreigners occupy most of the urbanized areas (cities and suburbs). Is this a true reflection of what is occurring in Canada?

I appreciate the effort these two women are making to educate Canadians about their own country, but! I can see that their focus is strictly the Gen Z crowd, who really need educating, but not by a couple of foreigners who are just trying to make a living. Good for them. I admire your tenacity. But, ladies there are 10 provinces and 3 territories in Canada. Here's something you may not know...Canada is the second largest nation in land mass only after Russia...FYI!\nNow if you had lived in Canada for over 70 years; as some of us have; you would come to have realized that there is NO central Canadian culture. There are 13 different cultures and societies associated through a federation with a central government in Ottawa. Every province is unique in its politics, social programs, even cultural events. Not every province and territory celebrates the same holidays, memorials or statutory holidays.\nPeople in Newfoundland are as different from the rest of Canada as the Scots and Irish are in their homelands. Alberta has cowboys, BC has sailors, Saskatchewan has wheat and Manitoba has the Guess Who and mosquitos. Ontario is just arrogant, Quebec is just Quebec. There is NOTHING Canadian about Quebec. If they had it their way they would have been independent since the 1750s. They don't even like to speak English. They do it out of obligation to the federation. \nThe Maritimes are again, unique unto themselves. They could easily be an independent nation and then their true culture would shine. Why they practically speak a different language. They have been here longer than any of us and are in fact the most unique culture in all of Canada with the exception of one very important factor:\nThe First Nations of Canada. Their culture is as different from 'European' as Indian is from Chinese or Russian and Korean. \nAnd they have been here for thousands of years. Are. you addressing them as well in your broad stroke analysis of my great country?\nYou need to get to know this country from those who have been here long enough to educate YOU.\nWith all due respect I think you over reached your grasp of the situation. You can't learn about a nation just by travelling around and talking to people. You have to live here...for a long time. Good luck and effort though.

I appreciate your take. I believe Canada's key issue is that it is facing a cultural decay, which is not exclusive to Canada. Many countries in the west are challenged by similar things such as aging populations and unaffordability. \n\nIt works in a cycle: governments and corporations take turns screwing over the general population and most people cannot afford anything. Corporation does A then government does B; government does X then corporation does Y. On the surface, government is _trying_ to do a good thing, but it backfires quite often, leaving the average person feeling scorned. \n\nChief among these corrective measures was mass immigration, and because there was already a climate of indignation, the introduction of too-many-immigrants was a huge slap in the face. Instead of making sure Canadians were better taken care of, the government responded to the corporations--not the people. \n\nGDP numbers mean nothing to the average Canadian person if their quality of life is in decline. The only people still in favour of mass immigration are those who do not have to confront it on a day-to-day basis. Even Canadian-born (or even Canadian Citizens of 5+ years) minorities, think the immigration problem is too much.

Thanks ladies. I have a person from Serbia who I hired many years ago. He is a professional and one of the best people I have ever employed. He h& his wife understood what it took to come to Canada. There was no easy path for them but they perserveered. They both have succeeded & are a great part of Canada now.

Punjabis go to Canada because we were repeatedly short changed and betrayed by that community who have always been demeaning us since 1984 . We loathe your lack of moral fibre and integrity, and your treacherous nature of deception. No wonder you ppl are looked down upon by our folk in Canada.. Don’t come with your Saffron politics here, we will spank your ass back to trenches

Mexico and Canada need to learn their place as vassal nations at the mercy of the United States.\n\nSee also: Ukraine.\n\nWeak nations, especially those riddled with corruption like Ukraine and Mexico, need to learn to kiss the ring of the leader permitting their continued existence.

We don’t want more Indians here , we want them gone , they have destroyed Canada ….. it smells bad too

Trudeau broke Canada. Dont worry we will fix it. We are the true north strong and we will be free again.

…OHHHH CANADA ?? ✨?????????….\n\n….Canadians are not proud of anything. I have lived here for many years, and people are sad, insecure, and afraid; they do not feel good about their reality! This is NOT me saying it; it is the feeling of the real Canadians themselves.....????????…..\n\n….They filled their society with people from the third world without telling them how to handle this; they were not educated about that. ???????‍?️??…..\n\n….Canadians tell me that the little Canadian talent goes to countries that are genuinely first-world. Therefore, there is only the average Canadian in Canada, who the Canadians themselves say is very mediocre and do not like effort. They feel threatened by foreign talent and become even more insecure because they see themselves overwhelmed by third-world people whom they consider inferior.??????????‍↔️????‍?????……\n\n….And how, in reality, they are racist at heart since white supremacy is encrypted in their soul, institutions, and everything. This causes them even more frustration because they cannot be better than the poor third-worlders who discriminate so much...?????????????????????????????……\n\n….Oh, Canada❤️! On the verge of collapse....\n\n….We love Canada ?? and we wish them the best…..✨❤️?????????????……

I dont want to be living in Ind. Like, seriously. I went to Canada for a Canadian life not an Ind life. As an immigrant, that's broken promise

Be packaging yourself like Canada wasn’t your dream country smh

Came in as a Student, then suddenly applied for asylum? ? Canada must not even waste a single resource to those FAKE STUDENTS applying for asylum. What a joke!

The Indian ruined the immigration laws. They strikes demanding to stay in canada ...

Canada needs to stop immigration from India that is 70 percent of the problems solved such invasive smelly species

Deport them already have so many illegal here in Canada . Canadians are struggling to met up the end needs politicians are jokes in Canada

From a specific country and specific group... No wonder the US has strict quotas for them... Canada will wake up in year 2098 optimistically. With this trend, US might require visas from Canadians soon, wouldn't be surprised to see....
