?????????Look, there are people 'gaming' the system, here in B.C. there are a bunch of Schools that nobody ever really attends, they are old storefronts downtown... the windows are covered with paper so you can't see inside. Conviently there are 'immigration lawyers' offices right next door. There are reports that 'students' are recruited in certain South Asian countries, put into debt to the tune of $180,000 with the promise of being able to get residency and eventually citizenship. They are then put to work, in local businesses to work off this debt. There is a reason every single small business in my town is owned by a certain Southern Asian position group..\n Every single one, every gas station (even the one on the native reserve) every single fast food restaurant and they only seem to employ people of a certain population group... in my day that was called racism, but today it is just motivated by greed and exploiting their own people, which they have a long history of in their own country?????????

Poverty, crimes, rent, food, entertainment, education, taxes, fuel, size of government... EVERYTHING skyrocketed. Except salaries.

There’s still a huge labor shortage in the fast food sector. What is hard to find are comfortable work from home jobs that pay 30 an hour where you are clocked in for 8hrs but spend 5hrs doing your own chores or playing on the phone doing maybe 3hrs of actual work

Its always been very European. More so than British. You can't just change that and expect us to go along with it. Not just so the fast food and fast food delivery can boom. *%$# fast food lobby!

Too many indian street food vendors.

I feel so bad for the immigrants who think they’re coming to Canada is going to give them a better life when they’re just gonna struggle so much more than they ever would in their own country. I’ve been to India I survived and lived in India such a better life than in Canada. The medical care in India is phenomenal, not like here for sure. The food is less expensive. You pay five dollars for your medical appointment and that includes the medicine and you in like 15 minutes.

It’s sad how many foreign workers are taking all the restaurant, security, engineering and gas station/convenience store jobs. It’s annoying to be at Wendy’s, BK, McDonalds, A&W or a gas bar/convenience store and see a group of friends/foreign workers working behind the desk, then all of a sudden change their work jacket from (for example) Wendy’s to a Skip the Dish sweater and deliver the food they just made. That tells me the system is failing or people are getting paid cash under the table. It’s time for these big companies and the government to step in and stop this. There is multiple examples in my smaller city in a daily basis so I can just imagine how often this happens in bigger cities. Mean while local Canadian born and raised people and their kids can’t get jobs. Stop subsidizing these foreign workers at the very least or donor to all of us. That would put a stop to at least have of it.

The truth they are not here for studies but for work…i dont even understand how they passed the English language assessment because some of them dont speak english properly. Its really hard time to communicate with them.\n\nWhen you go to the mall, fast food and wallmart you will notice 90% percent of them are from India . A friend and workmate of mine are complaining that their kids are having a hard time to find a job..

No more Brampton students... Pouring coffee, fast food and top flight security guards are not skilled jobs!

No it is NOT. They lie and lie and lie. What I would like to knownis why do kanirds keep increasing the rent every year.\n\nAlso, when is it going to stop for seniors. I live in an apt. the mortgage for which I am sure is fully paid. I feel when ine reaches a certain age, there has to be a cap on the rent.\n\nNext, why is the govt. building condos and houses that people cannot afford to buy instead of building affordable apartments?\n\nMy next beef is food prices. These supermarkets are abusing the system. They are price gouging and they need to be held accountable. It is ridiculous and something has to be done aboit it.

Before they leave, they can first, give everything that our government gave them, money, food, clothing and housing to our homeless people. then, get the hell out and never come back.

The government should change the rule to let international students into the country, beside getting accepted to the accredited schools , they also need to have a guarantor living here who will guarantee for their well-being ( including housing and food ) during their courses.

Canada is joining the rest of the colonial power agenda to purge Black people. You better believe more black migrants will be deported than any other migrants. \n\nThe USA is doing the opposite and flooding the country with migrants. The reason why is because they cant deport Black American citizens so they are using an old strategy of miscegenation. This is why the proportion of non-black migrants coming here tip the scale compared to black migrants. They are already getting food and cash assistance and Scamala next agenda is to pass a bill to give them 25k to buy homes. This will solve the housing shortage problem for migrants. \n\nBlack Diaspora wake up and stop the division amongst us.

You actually nailed it for me, thank you. I grew up with Hindu families in my hometown and they were our friends. In the last ten years our small town in BC has gone from 23000 to 34000 residence without proper housing. It started with the Max store now every convenience store and fast food restaurant is run by Indian people. No jobs for our youth and homelessness rates have skyrocketed !??

YOU CAN'T DESTROY \nCOUNTRIES AROUND \nTHE WORLD AND DONT\nTHINK YOU WONT SEE\nPEOPLE HUNTING TO \nFIND FOOD.

We as Canadians will not tolerate your scams, your food bank pilfering, your excrement on our beaches or your gang affiliations. Regardless of what Justin Castro has said we will not tolerate your colonization of our beautiful land. If you want to be Canadians then do so legally.

August 2020?????? COVID ERA. No Dustbin Truedump; you made a mess. Imagine refugees in hotel with warmth, clothes and food meanwhile they’re tearing down homeless encampments. Brampton has now become Bramladesh, Brown town, Singhdale and the rest. No green spaces left; just warehouses everywhere. Disperse a little bit to other places in Canada please or go home ??‍♀️

Support Canadian that their families paid generational taxes. we can’t get a job or even provide for our own families. There’s on feed ourselves. Our food banks are being taken advantage of. Rent is high is very hard for young Canadian family to buy a house. It’s not Canadian. I see buying the houses. ? who owns the schools?

I see people around who can’t communicate in english, disgusting, smell like curry and working on food shops. ?

They were brought here to help with the construction, healthcare, manufacturing and agriculture industries. Instead, most, if not all, entered the customer service and food industries. If you went to McDonald’s for a steak and fries, of course you’d be disappointed. We need help in building more houses and farm more produce… instead, they swarmed to take away more housing increasing the rent without building more and food from the food bank meant for Canadian families in dire need. Justify that!

Honestly this is a worldwide problem affecting not only first world countries but also growing economies, Im Mexican and a big wave of first world immigrants to my country have raised the prices in housing, food, etc, a lot of us has been forced to move to find more affordable prices, since previous rents doubled or in some cases got triplicated.\n\nAnd I know they are moving because the situation in their own countries have gone so hard that everyone is looking for a better chance, the world governments needs to do something because life is getting hard for EVERYONE.

SO TRUE BUDDY! You have nailed it! Most of them might have not even been to a metro city in India and they just landed in Canada! \nNo language proficiency, No basic courtesy, No civic sense! Its sad to see them do such shameful things here...\nI hate going to Restaurants & Coffee shops with Indian servers serving food they might have haven't even heard of in their entire lifetime... LOL\nImagine a vegetarian serving non vegetarian meal with no idea about how it tastes! Over an above their ZERO customer service attitude!

That`s right Stop coming. There is no housing ,no jobs, and no free food. GO HOME< TRUDEAU IS TOAST.

We need more Indians so they can provide free food Langar at Gurudwaras

Spouses of international students should not be allowed to work here and international students should not be allowed to work more than 20 hrs. International students who are here for only a one year program like MED should not be given work permit now are permitted for PR. They won’t continue in teaching as they are not skilled to teach kids here. They perceive other professions they are using the program only to get PR. They are coming here not o study but to stay here.They are even using food banks when Canadians who are in need are struggling for food here.

Im mad because Im young and want to go to school but cant work because of post graduate immigrants taking low skill jobs (Fast Food, Retail,). Its petty to come to another country, complete your studies and with your work permit work for minimum wage at tim hortons. Nobody my age can get a functional job just from applying. This is why when I am old enough to immigrate myself, i will attempt to immigrate to california (due to film industry and love for the state) and stay in my working field and leave the jobs there for the youth).

You should see them at the food bank driving in with their luxury cars

Haha? Canadians don’t have jobs food on the table rent or mortgage to pay becoming defaulters homeless and Chanda is richer ?

Ruined the trucking industry, ruined the residential construction industry, ruined the farming industry, ruined small town communities, ruined the healthcare system, ruined the immigration system, ruined the fast food industry, scammed government support systems, make unholy messes of every community they move into and they’re racist to and feel they’re superior to white Canadians. What a great decision throwing the gates of Canada open to them! ?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️

It was a government employee trying to get them id cards and move them into housing projects where they can eat synthetic food.

The problem is simple. If its an issue of cost of living, while its true that it is very high, its very high across the industrialized world. That is because the causes influencing cost of living are not related to inside Canada but are being influenced by foreign actors which Canada has no control over. The Ukraine-Russia War for example is causing increases to food costs which are not easily overcome. The situation in the Middle East between Hamas and Israel threatens to spiral into a regional war and that threatens the oil supply and the present price for oil and gas. The Houthi have been making it hard to traverse the Red Sea which is forcing shipping to travel around Africa rather than directly through the Suez Canal to the Mediterranean Sea meaning those additional fuel costs get transferred over to the consumer. As for housing, while efforts to cool housing markets have been made, Canada's housing market is still relatively hot meaning the prices remain high in big cities. Its like a perfect storm. Increased costs on mortgages are an attempt to push down inflation but in the short term you are going to feel that as well. Also we are living in a transition period as the world sinks back to the older model of trade before before Bretton Woods in 1947 which is leading to a decoupling of product lines that at one time coming from Asia were cheap but are not more expensive because they are being made back in the home countries. Transitions do come with a price. Finally, add taxes which help to deal with health care, social programs and government services like embassies, foreign missions and the army well yeah its a perfect storm.\n\nI hope you have luck where you end up but do not for a minute assume that the grass is greener on the other side. Even Japan which attempts to keep certain costs low, has been forced to increase its national consumption taxes to offset overall costs. It isn't going to get cheaper but more expensive as we move back to the old trade model. However, as the world weans itself off of the World Trade Organization and the IMF, the world also re-opens the potential to a Great Depression because that was the reason Bretton Woods appeared in the first place. The world isn't going to get better but far worse.

Please Indians, we are BEGGING you to wear DEODERANT, especially at the gym. Men & women: We can't breathe around you! Canadians move away from you not because they are racist, it's because you are STINKING! Nobody likes that unpleasant human body odor. Open the windows of your home when you cook so your clothes do not smell of food. Come to the gym with clean clothes on. Always be clean and hygienic and you will be better received by others. THANK-YOU! ??

I have been hearing this racist rant since I came 53 years ago blaming the immigrants. I have never worked less than 50 hrs a week since coming to Canada and am enjoying my hard-earned retirement. I'm afraid you don't mention that all Students must bring at least $50,000 for their duration. Imagine all the jobs they created e.g. Teachers, bought food and other essentials. By the way, they have their own medical insurance. There is a shortage of workers, and small businesses can find workers. The other day we stopped in Barry'Bay for coffee they were closing the place at 2:30 pm because they didn't have enough people. You cannot blame students for the housing crisis there are other factors. Canada's economy is doing fine compared to other G-7 countries. More foreign students will fuel the research and development of this country, so please respect them.

Will Canada ?? sponsor a few million of us Christian folks. \nTo immigrate to let's say Iraq. \nPay for housing, food, education, jobs and allow us to alter their social status, beliefs, religion?\nBut.\nWe all want to land in the same area of said country and be able to not integrate, learn their language and make sure our Christian beliefs are the only important issues at hand.

❤❤Prime Minister Trudeau is absolutely winning. Canada economy ranks 3rd fastest growth in G7 countries 2024, it set to beat peer countries in 2025. Canada has the 1st strongest budget balance rankings among the G20 countries 2023 and 2024 will be more better. Inflation rate was 2.5 %, interest rate is cut to 4.25 %, housing affordability is improving now, he will help 400,000 kids for National school food program, He will build 4 million homes by 2031. We are better off.

I've visited Canada and the price of food and services like say a mobile phone plan is truly obscene, I don't understand how you all don't hold your leaders to account. We get the leaders we deserve.

I'm in bc I have not seen a young white student working at any gas station fast food etc for years now. I'm wondering if liberals giving them funds go buy these businesses

My great-great-great-great-grandfather came to this country in the War of 1812 his name is Sir Colonel James Fitzgibbon. Our family Legacy is in the history books of saving Canada from being a part of the United States during that war. That is on my mother's side of the family. On my father's side of the family I am native Ojibwe Indian. So my bloodline is purely Canadian. I was raised in downtown Toronto in the seventies and eighties and the most beautifully multi-cultural city in Canada. Never have I had a problem or even thought in any way of being racist. In those days an even until very recently I never had a problem with anyone from India. I loved the culture the food and for the most part people from India have always been very polite and accepting of the Canadian culture.. but that is no longer the case. And enough is enough

how to save 100 of dollars of groceries as a international student. Go to food bank and take as much as you want.

Canada is not Canada I grew up with. I no longer feel welcome or wanted in Canada. I feel like not only does my government not care about me, but that htey activity make decisions purposely to hurt me because they think its funny. I honestly feel bullied by my government.\n\nMy rent has doubled in 5 years. My food bills has doubled in the same time. Yet I still make the same per hour as I did 5 years ago. My parks are always full of needles and drug paraphernalia and druggies, my schools are teaching my kids to hate their own skin color and feel shame about the past, the police dont do anything when I get assaulted.

Canada is a large country but only such much land where we can build and we are now starting to build on our bread basket land.We can't afford to import all our food and can only stack people so high.Real estate and rent is out of reach for most, that's why people are on the streets.Generational\nCanadians first no matter race.

I am seeing these people at our food banks in the last while. They dont eat our food so what is going on???

Giving out free food to entire world to show off you are a G7 country when your own kids are starving. Great Dad right???

Don't conflate hating Indians and an obviously unsustainable immigration rate. I'm a natural born Canadian, I'm pro-immigration. So long as it is managed and targeted at areas of need for the country. I never painted all Indians with the same brush when the food bank and Wasaga incidents happened. When you bring in 1.2M a year, you will get some bad actors. However, that's the issue, that many people, coming over in such a short period of time, the infrastructure and social safety net cannot support everyone. It's unfortunate, but necessary that immigration rate is reduced and reformed.

Sorry we haven't got enough housing for Canadians already here. The International students must pay their way and then go back home to start new educated lives. I work in a food bank and see many international students taking food from Canadians. This is not supporting themselves. Thousands either quit school or failed and then demanded citizenship. I'm outraged. There are many issues that must be dealt with asap.

I recently worked in a fast food restaurant owned by a foreign national, to begin with there was about a half and half mix between the foreign students and Canadians, it was well run, nice place to work and we pretty much got along, suddenly the owner started advertising for help only in his own language newspaper, as the usual turnover took place all the new hires were of his nationality, students who were limited to 20 hours per week wound up working more hours than the full time workers which in my books left me wondering how much studying they were getting in, Covid hit, I asked the boss if he was going to sign up for getting us paid instead of laying us off, he said he wasn't eligible for that program and laid us off, after he laid us off he applied for and got on the program, suddenly names the Canadian supervisor had never seen working for us appeared on the payroll and mysteriously when we got back to normal and got called back they never did appear in our restaurant. I'm not a racist, have always loved working with other nationalities, but rules are there for a reason and need to be enforced, a lot of folks are taking advantage of our lax enforcement. If you want to work in Canada you should apply for the permit before you come, if you come as a student you need to be a student, if you come as a refugee you should declare that status before you get on a plane. When we have people living on the streets and in cars because housing is not affordable we need to question how many folks we are bringing in.

Skilled worker came in the UK and now they are begging food from food bank. Huge scam on skilled worker visa in the Uk.

Things must be done in the right and proper way thousands of illegal immigrants just come to USA walk over the border come in Canada and get free houses, Some don't come to work they hear Canada give free houses,Money and health care,they get thousands of dollars yearly.Thousands come as international students says they come to go to school and flocking Food Banks which a lot now have to close.Hundreds of Canadian work very hard and loose their jobs in COV19 and can't get no help and living under trees and these people come never work here get free houses, medical and money while hard working seniors are suffering.The system is too open and slack.Canada is too open it is the only country that takes in what other countries refuse the boarders need to be struck like U S A. Canada boarders is too weak and open and free .

INDIANS STUDENS STOLE ALL CANADIANS YOUTH JOBS, THEY SHOULD HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY FOR SCHOOL, FOOD AND TUITION WHEN THEY COME TO CANADA IF NOT THEN STAY IN YOUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY

I am not an Indian but I am also an immigrant, therefore, I don’t hate immigrants. I don’t hate Indian. I have been living in Canada for 39 years now. I try my best to be a Canadian. What I’ve observed is that most of the fast food restaurants and the delivery services are now dominated by Indian. It seems like if there is one Indian manager in charge of a company he/she will hire mostly Indian people. I don’t mind who own those franchises but please at least maintain the original product and service. Don’t try to be “too smart” by lowering the standards to get more profit. The Canadian customers can sense the changes.\n\nThank you for the video producer for the factual report.
