It’s not only ghost immigrants. There are ghost employment too. A lot of people, mainly those rich international students who do not want to go back to China after graduation or failed to graduate but would remain in Canada without permanent residents status. They would pay some corrupted companies to hire them (what a joke), pretending that they have a full-time job in order to apply for permanent residency in Canada. All paycheque, T4, And whatsoever are genuinely fake... ?

Chinese citizens with Canadian Permanent Residents status running scams......why am I not surprised.

Thank cucked Trudeau for this\nThey like to push their cult up the throats of ppl but dare to go and share your religion or beliefs in their countries \nWhy are these ppl acting like people have no memory or suffer from permanent amnesia?\nDon’t they think we see what they live for?\nUnbelievable

If he has a sister in Vancouver, she can probably sponsor him for him and eventually his family to become a permanent resident if I'm not mistaken

I am Canadian! My father came to Canada when he was 5. My mother! she was born here! she has mixed lineage! hispanic/latino and native american. Jose came here looking for asylum!? well atleast he announced his intentions! hope he gets granted permanent status!

Why don't all the nations like US and Canada try to help fix what is happening from the places these people are fleeing, especially if they are murder capitals? They can recruit these migrants to form coalitions to rebuild their nation. What if they are really are going to suffer there, without outside intervention, by being recruited, instead, into gangs or be killed or raped? If we send troops to the middle east for our vested interest, then don't we also have at least some vested interest to send troops in Honduras and El Salvador? We can prevent the entire population from migrating, prevent people from being exploited and hurt while traveling or living illegally and the taxpayers and citizens won't have to pay for court costs, education, healthcare and welfare. There are plenty of things our nation can do to uplift our own destitute and out of luck an alone citizens...with that money. With the money now saved, it can be diverted to cover the costs of our troops, counselors, educators in those nations. Then it is possible and foreseeable to reunite all the undocumented immigrants back to their now safer home countries. I understand why they flee and also understand why the US and Canada cannot absorb these large population of people, and they have the right to determine who is invited in, so....why can't there be more permanent solutions? I feel, certain pathetic political groups are playing these migrants, the law-abiding citizens and others in their game of chess. Lives are not pawns for chess. Is there a hidden path for drugs, money, prostitution that is being quietly supported? Are certain businesses lobbying in the millions and billions to get cheap labor? Is that why this problem is not finally being solved but kept alive for so many years? There are basic solutions that have not been tried in earnest. You cannot just bring everyone in and you cannot just turn your face to the problems these undocumented people face... I feel like much is not being discussed about this situation....Something else is going on that they are not covering...

Filing asylum based on gang violence as an alibi to get permanent residence for him and his family. This is typical even for mothers with children in tow crosing the US Mexico border. It's not like Canada and the US don't have their own problems with gang violence.. He shouldn't even be working in construction coz he doesn't have a Red Seal Trade Certification much less he doesn't even speak basic English.

I am a us citizen but I am going to go permanently to Mexico and become a citizen there and STAY THERE..the us and canada already have strong economies but all the best people come up here and so back at home things don't get better..Im pro Mexico i want the best for Mexico and I don't care about the us anymore

Like Jose tons of migrants had choosed the canadian west for its wealth (oil) but its a trap cause AB is at the same time the hardest on inmigration matters. \nIm pritty sure if he would come first to Quebec or maybe Ontario he will be permanent resident by now.#goodluckjose

I don't get it. I went to Canada legally, I payed for education, bill, insurance with my money, yet i am not welcomed . Some random people walk across the border illegally, they get free money, education and soon will become permanent resident. Why they making it so hard to become a citizen legally while it is so easy with a fraud marriage.

My heart aches for these people BUT during his stay in Canada he could have applied to permanent residence. You could find that out almost immediately by talking to an immigration office.

IT'S ALREADY BEEN PREDETERMINED; PREPLANNED; PREDESTINED THAT IT'S AN ABSOLUTELY ROCK SOLID CONCRETE GUARANTEE/CERTAINTY, THAT I WILL HAVE SUCCESSFULLY MOVED PERMANENTLY TO CANADA!!!!BEYOND ANY SHADOW OF A DOUBT (ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL: NONE)!!!!!AFTER; WHEN AND ONCE I DO SUCCEED, IT WILL HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY PERFECT; FLAWLESS AND IMMACULATE NO MATTER WHAT!!!????

Just because JT presented Canada as a welcoming place for immigrants, which for the most part it is, doesn't mean if you enter the country through means deemed unlawful that you won't have to go through the process. Every immigrant (refugee, migrant worker, permanent resident) has to. JT doesn't have to apologize for how other people interpreted his words.

What a fucked up situation with these poor people. It's not fair that their country of origin is so fucked up that they risk it all to leave. It's also unfair for them to think they can just make their way to the US or Canada and live there illegally. The world is a big place an there are people from all over who want to leave and come live in the US but they have to do it the right way. My cousin is from Italy and she speaks 5 languages, she was top of her class and she can't get a permanent visa to live in the US. So why is it that if she can't get in with her qualifications, why do people from South and Central America think they can just do what they want and they get mad when they get deported?

Yet more Al-Taqiyya from the religion of peace and permanent offense; lies, obfuscation and deception.

I am emigrating to Canada as a permanent resident and I'd like to weigh in. You have to have $12,200 before you can arrive, you don't get government funded healthcare for 3 months or other benefits. I agree with this policy

This video was posted in March of 2015. I'm interested in knowing what the situation is now, generally speaking. I ask because I have lived for the last 9 years in Morocco where women dressed as in this video is more or less the norm. I want to know what I may encounter should I choose to return to Canada permanently, with pro-Islam views.

How do you stay there permanently? Is it easy for Canadians to get US citizenship?

There are many problems with anti-immigrant rhetoric and one of them is the classification who is and who isn't an immigrant and the question of when does a person stop becoming an immigrant and become a Canadian? A significant portion of people living in Canada are first/second/third generation Canadians and so, how do we classify these people, are they immigrants or are they not? And what of their parents/grandparents who immigrated, are they? It's very important to note that without their ancestor parents, all these first/second/third gen Canadians will not be here and they are now 'Canadians' today because we had pro-immigration laws. Also, the idea of accessing services is by itself, very problematic. I spent the first 4 years of my life here paying high tuition fees as well as tax that are used to subsidize fellow Canadians' tuition fees yet I'm not able to access any government services. Following graduation, I worked as a worker on visa where my tax was no less than an average Canadian yet government services were very much inaccessible to me. It was only after I became permanent resident, that somehow everything suddenly became available to me. I have been tax paying 6-7 years before I became a PR here yet all those years, I wasn't able to access a single thing yet somehow, after I became PR, I'm eligible for everything? The tax argument doesn't make sense at all. I will be eligible to apply for citizenship in like a year and does that mean now I am one of you, Canadians?

Are you going to be legally a permanent resident in the US? Snowbirding is the best lifestyle for Canadians.

LEGAL PROPOSITION - DETRIMENTAL CONTENT OF THE QUR'AN\n\nWe demand a full legal inquiry into the validity of allowing the Quran to be printed and imported into Canada. Considering it's anti-democratic ethos and contradictory laws in regards to Canada. The inquiry should take into account the following Islamic permission and compare to Canadian law to deem if the Qur'an and Islam should be permitted to exist in Canada:\nsex-slavery, bigamy, domestic violence, honor killings, killing of apostates, pedophilia. and on the basis of lack of freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, equal rights. The legal inquiry should thoroughly probe the nature of Islam using the written verses of the Quranic hadiths and Islamic commentaries written by clerics and Islam scholars. We demand that if the inquiry concludes that the Islamic agenda violates and threatens our citizen's rights to live freely and safely, then we should seek to ban the Qur'an and Islam permanently from Canada.

Excellent interviews.Thank you for this video clip.\nI find the whole responsibility for the permanent tension most Canadians feel when around these immigrants belongs to the leaders of this country, similar to the European Union and somewhere else in Western civilization, where the political leaders decide on such an important matter without consulting the citizens of their own countries who ultimately have to rub shoulders with these people of such a different religion and education than their own.. Solution-citizens of these countries need to find the courage and clarity to express their disagreements and let their leaders know what they feel, and perhaps remind them who put them in power.
