When it comes to applying for a job, and I think this goes for every part of the world, the first thing they look at is age.\nI've applied to lots of jobs during the last 5 years. I'm a white male, between 40 and 50, and out of 100 applications I've received maybe 20 replies by e-mail and 1 reply by phone. That leaves 79 non responses. \nThat's the way things are today. That's what society has become. That's how we're all looked down upon.\nI know there are some countries in Europe where they ask for a photo on your resume. I would blatantly refuse to add that.

Islam is a cult, the Muslims are told to lie in their Qur'an. Read suras 5 verse 51 and 9 verse 29 to start , then tell mee if it is a religion of peace. The hijab is not in the Qur'an. The women in Islam are second class citizens, it takes 2 women to equal the statement of 1 man. If Islam ois so good then ask yourselves why are they leaving their countries to come to the west?\nGoing back to the standards of women, sura 4 verse 34 read it. Do you know the punishment for leaving Islam? It is death, that's why there are so many horror stories in other Islamic countries. \nAll I am saying folks is open your eyes. What is the saying, when in Rome do as the Romans do, this don't apply to the Muslims. The want to come and change the laws to suit them, islamaphobia is just the beginning. Do you think you could've gone to their countries and demand your rights? I think k not, look all I am saying is blend in, don't try to change us to suit your lifestyle because it did not work in your country, remember you chose to come here for a reason knowing fully well what the west is all about.lastly, you label us as islamaphobe if we don't agree with your behavior,so what we call you because of your behavior towards other religious groups especially Christians under which this country was established?

Why are muslims give n such importance. Come they did they leave their home.

Muslim people are peacefull people in minority only. Once they come into the country, they destroy your country's peace, property and harmony. The same is done in India. They are make their population double and triple to become majority in India. Hope someone comes to rescue to guide islam people to leave in harmony.

Islam hates the West and Christians Why are we allowing this? This is our laws our land ,don't like it leave!! No just leave. A War is coming caused by Them

I moved to Halifax from India. Lived there 2 years, moved to Etobicoke then Kitchener, then Waterloo and now leaving in Brampton.\nIts been 7 years in Canada and 1.5 years in Brampton.\n\nWhen someone asks me why you live in Brampton, it’s unsafe city or ghetto. I am like hell no, never leaving Brampton. Brampton is safe city compare to some other GTA cities, look at statistics. Its just have bad name because of lots of south asian people.\n\nBrampton is brampton, only place I feel belonged and enjoying living in Canada with little Indian tweest. \n\nBrampton takes away our dependency on cooking during hectic days as restaurants are hell cheap, easy to find home-cooked tiffin with lots of options. Main reason easy to find Gujarati foods and other vegetarian food. Tons of pure vegetarian Indian restaurants in Brampton.\n\nGreat feelings come when you are tried and don’t want to cook and at same time don’t want to eat in restaurants then home-cooked food is always available to your neighbourhood for just 6-7 dollar.

Islam is not a religion for Canada Canada doesn't want that religion we have our own religion it's Christianity and anybody that's got a problem with that can leave and go back to their own country where they're comfortable with their own laws and their own religion coming to other countries demanding special treatment is an act of terrorism....

They need to leave this country and we need to stop more from coming. They should stay in there own lands they are not compatible with us.

Not surprised this happen in vancouver !!! \nI guess if you have lots of money canada is welcoming you !!!! \nAnd NONE of those people are victims... \nIs funny how they come and leave ...buy local propreties and leave :) come back later and sell them.

India is facing this from 100s of decades. If they don't feel safe they should leave !!! And why Saudi Arabia don't allow other religions in their country !!!!!!! They come and ruin others religion !!

Is that supposed to be a scandal?\n\nWe accept illegal immigrant crossing the border from USA and we put them in hotels, give them even more money than we give to people who paid the government all their life.\n\nWe put an immigrant as the immigration minister.\n\nAnd after that we are supposed to be surprised about something like that?\n\nI would send Ahmed Hussen back in his original country. \n\nI would send those who cross the border illegally directly in prison in shackles and leave their belonging where they stand. I would give them a treatment similar the country they come from, not a five star hotel treatment. Then send every illegal immigrant in their country. Strip immigrant, facilitating illegal immigration, from the citizenship and ban them from entering Canada for 10 years and ban them from ever getting citizenship.\n\nBut we don't ever strip someone of his Canadian citizenship if they committed crimes.\n\nBUT COMMON SENSE IS NOT THE STRENGTH OF THE LIBERALS. \nWE HAVE A CRIMINAL AS A PRIME MINISTER.

50000!! a year, people with one child get 1000 a month, and do they get Child tax? I just dont understand how Canada/ America can just keep bringing allowing so many people can keep coming?? Or wont we just be a place just like the places they are trying to leave?? Also a payment to set up your house??? LOL. I knew a single Mom who left an abusive relationship.. ( born in Canada) and you know what the government in BC gave her to help her set up her house?!! A used bed!!!Thats all,, oh and a crisis grant for $40! If she needed more than the 1000$ pre month! This is a complete joke! We need to look after Canadians first, or we wont have healthcare and become a 3rd world country too!!

I am not gonna die because of Canadian citizenship . thousand of thousand Canadian citizen come to my country in Iceland . when I asked why you leave your country come to iceland ? they don’t have any right answers our economic is high . our money is high . our job is high than Canada . there is no any economic in Canada . especially right now . Trodu pissed of in Canada . everything is destroyed . economic political also

I don't care what race you are, what religion you follow or what the reason for leaving your country is. You're welcome here in Canada AS LONG AS you respect our way of life, you assimilate into our culture and you don't try and change our country to better suit yourself. If you wish to do any of those 3 things, you're not welcome here. It's that simple. Our ancestors broke away from a tyrannical monarchy and created this society. If you think the rest of the world is welcome to come and try and destroy that, I wish you good luck because you will not win. We are a CHRISTIAN nation, period. I'm not religious in the slightest, but my personal beliefs mean nothing and change nothing in this regard.

Should have come legally. Go to your embassy and start the process. All these people came on lies being told to them. If you want to leave your country.....do it legally !

I feel zero compassion for illegals they are not refugees or immigrants lets get this clear. They leave for better materials like nice things cell phones cars homes. Or to work illegally and send money back and live like kings tax free. Unless ur life and your families life is in danger or rhere own government will punish u with your life u will not be accepted here in the United states or in Canada stop coming here missing your court dates after being denied and then fleeing to another country all for what free hand outs its all about the hand outs free shit

you need a certain amount of money to live on for 2 years plus job prospect plus no criminal record a good edjucation to come here legally so Canadians that pay super high taxes do not need to worry about taking care of people that think they can just come here and exspect its people.to support them and there families .You cant get welfare for 2 years either.We need to keep Canada a.smart and wealthy country .Yes we can help some in very bad situations but we are.only as strong as our weakest people . We need the best to be the best.To many people.think they can just come here because they feel like.it and they think they will have a easy life.\nWe.dont want any blood suckers only.good hard woking people.If that isnt you dont come because you wont be welcomed .If you are a good person then welcome to Canada and help us build this country and leave the bs that you left where you came from becauae we dont want it here..\nthanku

Liar a lot of illegal are leave and coming right back asking for aslylm because they get a lot of freebies and they become citizen right away. Bus were load up two month ago they were going to Mexico and coming back asking for aslylm.

I ask Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: why this human rights activist who lives here in Toronto fears for her life? She fears that hardcore Muslims will attack her. Mister Trudeau, is she Islamophobic? \n\nAlso, she says a large number of Canadian Muslims sympathize with ISIS. Mister Trudeau, is sympathizing with ISIS acceptable to you? \n\nIf Niqab and Hijab wearing Muslims feel threatened in Canada, why did they choose to come to Canada? Why did they leave their countries where they were all safe and happy? Ask these questions to every Muslim woman. \n\nWake up Canadians! Stand up to liberals who are destructing the hard-earned advancement in human civilization! Stand up now before it is all lost, before it is too late....

I feel any person should not leave his motherland..You never knows what can happen in future.You feel its easy to earn in abroad, but if you could do hard work in India, you can also earn.Kal tum canada bhi chod sakte ho. Bahut garv hota hai - hum canada main reh rahen hai yaa abroad..(: Singers /actors/actress , strugglers of abroad are coming back to India and earning. Now many of people are settled back in India..Apna hi bewakoof bana rahe hain. Mukesh Ambani, Ratan Tata nai bhi to India main rehkar kamaya hai.

Leave our culture and tradition alone !. Come'on grow up *canadian prime minister*

I'm a US expat living in China. In china, you cannot get a green card. I leave every 60 days because I can only stay for up to 60 days, just to turn around and come right back that same day. Once i'm back in China, I need to register my address with the police, and update my resident card. To get a 60 day business visa here, I had to get a Chinese company send me an invite, then need it to get approved. The process was expensive. But I follow Chinese law, and respect it with everything that I am. This is China and this is there laws. So who is VICE to make a victim out of this person? Just a crock of shit. This guy can go to many many countries around the world. India, Indonesia, even China but from the looks of it, this guy could not handle China. Why does he absolutely need to settle in Canada or the USA and cry when they don't want him? Go mother fucker, go anyplace in the world you want, just go.

yeah send on cruises too ,what is going on with this country. you have to fight to get sick leave with 25 years of work ,but immigrants can come in be put up in hotel rooms and medical free, but yet the people tat worked all their life here get refused sick leave, this country is going to hell,,,,,,,

Thank You, for leaving. Do not come back to U.S. Stay in the country you are born in until you can afford to travel on your own dime. Get out of my pocket and tax dollars.

Our PM needs to do what trump did, kicked all the illegal people, banned students from getting PR, or calling there family here, that needs to happen here. Because in the past 3 to 4 years many people came to Canada illegally and they all need to be kicked from this country, if you can’t get here own your own base don’t come here at all. Also please learn to speak English before you come here, English and French are too language people should speak, if you can’t speak one of them leave or learn, and wear modern clothes this isn’t some 20th century, this is 21th century’s where people wear modern clothes start to wear them, or your whole community will be hated more then it already is.

I feel that first world countries left many countries behind. Instead of helping them move up in the world...we just used them for what we could and kicked them to the curb. Now everyone wants to leave their country and come to America or Canada or Europe or Australia..we did this to ourselves...

The supreme irony of the ILLEGALS. They are leaving and escaping from corrupt and lawless countries and what is the first thing they do when they come here illegally? They break OUR laws!!

Hey Mexicans and others. Take back your country with your blood. Invade Mexico City where all your Elite live. Take your crooked government back. We are trying. Got a hunch when things get hot here you'll run back to Old Mexico anyway. Don't need to hear any more boohoos. Dreamers go back too. It's my tax dollars not yours used to finance your education.\nOur black population could use more education dollars and they are * Americans*. For that manner our poor white population could use some job education skills also. LEAVE and come back LEGAL. Bye Bye.

Advice: follow the rules. Something people DON'T want to do anymore, and they want the rest of us to applaud them while they are bucking the system. And, providing for them while they do it. Our countries can NOT take in millions upon millions of people and not have severe consequences in ALL areas. Why cant people understand this? We cant take in the entire 3rd world and support them. WE dont have enough jobs for ourselves, let alone provide jobs and houses for the rest of the world. No one bought me a house. And the 2 years I got welfare after leaving an abusive husband, I HAD TO PAY BACK... I paid back EVERY CENT, and was forced to, which I DID. You hear me complaining and going to the media about THAT? NO. I did what I had to do and moved on. Come in people, everyone wants handouts, butno ine wants to PAY.

Where i come from, i know people who work overseas for years and years leaving their families behind. A big sacrifice to make both ends meet but i think it is still a smarter way to leave them behind and send money than to take them with you and share the uncertainty of illegal immigration with them.

How come you can’t leave comments on the bombing elect somebody like Trump not that wack job Trudeau

Lol illegally crosses into Canada finds out its not just “hey welcome” take are resources don’t pay taxes life off are land!! Haha no just no your leaving a first world country because you elected president Cheeto not because your fleeing persecution and death haha like come on grow a pair.

Liberals are very easy to be manipulated because their politicians create policy based on emotions. However, when conservatives try and have debate the unintended consequences they are considered racists, homophobic, xenophobic and blah blah blah. The bottom line is, if you want to leave your country to come to any other country, DO IT LEGALLY!

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?

He's illegally in the US and never learns to speak English then goes to Canada and doesn't speak English or French? He hasn't put forth much effort to assimilate. Try coming through Ellis Island in the late 1800s and early 1900s and not knowing English. You're an evil racist if you say these things but it's the truth. If you want to move out of your country you learn the Language and assimilate. The problem with the immigrants from Central America is they want to live in our country but continue to live life as they did there. Assimilate or leave.

Canada is VERY VERY merit based don't get it twisted. It took my parents years to get a visa to leave Nigeria and come here, Canada is not some paradise, it's a country chances are if you can't get legal citizenship in the states, you'd be VERY lucky to get it Canada. Basically your chances are little to none.

Living in Latin America is not that bad, well there are parts where you should avoid at all cost but there are places where you can have a safe decent life, most of you just say what comes out of your small little brains without ever even leaving your city your whole life. Its just that this people have lived and been so dependent from your system and in stretching their hands( beg) all this time that they not know what to do now. \n\nHe said that he wasted 15 thousand dollars in lawyer, if it would have been me I could have perfectly moved to lets say Costa Rica or Peru and still have money to buy land. But they really are addicted to this kind of life. I agree that the people in El salvador have made violence to sky rocket because they have not done nothing about it, they left gangs and violence to proliferate and now its just too late for them. But there is still hope in other places in Latin America.

Been in canada for 10 yrs never been sick. Only time I needed heath services was for my 1rst child last year. Went 7 months of pregnancy tests and exams paid nothing.\nI spent 2 months in NICU didn't pay a dime.\nTook 6 months parental leave still got income coming (could have taken 12 months since my spouse doesn't work).\nI don't care how rich I get. I'll always support universal health care. It worked for me.

I had a friend that years ago she was living in the UAE. She was expected to cover up or else. Well being the rebel she is, she dared to show her shoulders. For this act of rebellion she was cut on her arms by a group of men. \n\nThis is the reality of Muslim countries. So they leave their oppressive societies and come to the west and think we should allow them to continue this oppression here.\n\nI don't think so....like the Canadian in the UAE, they should adapt to their host country, period.

Facts much? Canada allows anyone to live in Canada for a year on the tax payers dime as long as they submit a refugee claim. The Canadian public is paying upwards of $60,000 CAD for each of these claimants living costs which is more than what many Canadians make in a year. Additionally if these claimants' claims are refused they simply leave for a day, come back and start the process all over again, again getting to live in Canada for a year on the tax payers back. What a great scam.

Yes...I agree with these ladies...This is scary...Need to go practice there muslim faith in the muslim countries...they should go back where they come from..And leave Western world to a CHRISTIAN NATION.JESUS CHRIST IS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR TO THE WORLD.

I wish everyone could remove their skin and trade it!or leave it off!then they'd have to come up with height races!why can't people see that everyone is human.?!

What is strange is that, the same people who flee a country due to oppressive religious behaviour come here and create an environment equal to the place they escaped.  Why did you leave in the first place!

Muslims leave Muslim countries to come to countries with Christian foundations and then want them to be Muslim, just like the countries they have left. What did you leave for ?

why our countries do not boycott Muslims countries? it would be better for both of us. we don't go to their countries, nor they come to our countries. I can't endure see Muslims going to non Muslims countries whether for tourism or business, learning or even medical treatment, if they still have dignity. this western media farce should be stop, and they will have no media matter talking about it, if all Muslims migrate to their countries irrespective of consequences, but unfortunately, we deserve this insult because we have not made up our mind yet to leave out these racist countries

if islam is such a religion of peace ,how come those who leave the religion should be killed.

listen fk with the men leave the woman alone thats low to mess with woman on any level or situation . come on keep it to the men only . not the woman , . im mexican i support any retaliation against woman . on a personal note leave the woman alone any race or situation leave them alone .

Why is it that you have plenty to say about muslim women having their right to wear the burka but when I had to go to Jeddah when one of your stinking, rotten, filthy men, blew up my husband,s car, with him in it, that......... Because he couldn,t get out of his death bed to come to the airport to get me, they were going to send me back to the UK on the plane I had arrived in and..... I wasn,t allowed to leave that airport until I had a burka on! You people make me sick to my stomach and if it had ever been up to me, not one of your lousy people would have ever been allowed to stain my soil.

Saudi says if you can't show respect to our tradition (hijab,niqab ) then don't come to our country. now the same things can be done by west. if you really can't live with an western lifestyle then leave

If you are fleeing from muslim countries don't fucking come here with your fucked up religion, leave it behind with your fucked up country. Either that or fuck off.
