I also didn't like the answer by the comissioner, because she told in a way that this is a responsibility by every country to take refugees. By this answer she provides the wrong signal to asylum seekers (that they can demand something from host countries) and also I don't think that it should be a respinsibility of the states, but their will. It should be win-win offer for both sides. But of course I think everybody would like to help to people in the trouble, but recources are not infinite everywhere also. And also there are a lot of imposters. That's why I don't like when governments provide too much social support for all. It should be, but limited. And motivate people to be independent.

thank you very much for this. Does filling the form mean an expression of interest?

This is very sad and upsetting. Much love to this man. From Japan xx

A boat can only hold so much before it sinks. Canada already had a big housing and unemployment problem. I know people would love to be altruistic but you will end up drowning. It’s the same thing in the US and Europe.

Commenting enabled on Guardian? I'm surprised. What happened to suppressing readers comments that you love so much?

Maybe because there's too much of it?

That's fucked up and it makes really freaking mad. I worked so many years and over times for what. I got chronicly ill didn't work for 3 years and got SSI and I don't even get $900 dollars. Migrants just walk over and get $1,400 WTF I'm a citizen who came here legally and paid my way ? I have nothing against migrants but darn you get all those benefits why then give them so much money. They need to do what Canada does with migrants. No wonder the migrants there eventually work and have stability. The USA needs to take a class on this.

WHEN THE MEN BUILDING YOUR HOUSE, CANT AFFORD THE HOUSE THEMSELVES. THERE IS A CLEAR PROBLEM. TOO MUCH BUREAUCRACY FOR ABSOLUTELY ZERO RETURN. WE NEED AN ELECTION NOW.

Don’t blame everything on the new immigrants. They had no idea about the circumstances before entering Canada. It’s the government that lacks the discretion on immigrant allocation and housing/healthcare capacity before issuing so much visa.

The main issue is and will be the German language. They are quite picky about it all the time. If skilled workers are getting a job which has a higher pay (higher working hours, uncertain market) in the USA, people don't mind taking it, learning a new language, high tax, kind of average salary is not going to appeal to a lot of people. Nowadays they want German language requirements for a software engineering job! People aren't open, really old and slow daily life, too much paper work, the list goes on....

VICE, much if not all of this is an old video if I’m not mistaken.

What i don't understand is how leaders of a country are unable to predict this outcome.\nAnyone whit some level of consequential thinking can see this from a mile away.\nKind of obvious that you can't let more people in than you can provide housing and job opportunity to.\nDoes not take a genius to figure that out.\nOr better yet, try and stop the water flow from your shower without turning the knobs and watch what happens to the water.\nIt goes all over the place uncontrollably.\nThat visual is pretty much exactly how the economic and welfare status looks like for a country who let too much immigration slip through in too short amount of time.

I don't think I really want to know how much it's costing born and raised Canadians to support the immigrants that are coming. I knew that we were in trouble back in 2009 when Ruby Dhalla wanted immigrant seniors to be able to collect from the canada pension plan after three years, instead of the ten years.

I’ve met many Mexicans where they’d never dream of leaving Mexico because they love it there. Something tells me half of these people aren’t even Mexican? I’m so confused. Why do these people hate Mexico so much?

My dad had $300K stolen from him because the guy eho bought our hoise refused to buy it on the last day and we suffered a loss and sokd it at a much lower price and forcibly

Everyone is talking nonsense here....\n Not a single comment is of useful here.......\n By the way,\n "Can anyone explain,what did just happen .....\n Y security,did't allow the translater to with xi xingping....\n How will the conversation take place withouT him.....\n I think,the security had done a bad joB here .....\n ToO muCh unprofessionalism......

we are entering an era similar to the one existing in France just before the revolution against the royals... the elites live in their own bubbles while we the people work and suffer under the new slavery. It won't last much longer.

will this channel reply or cover white officers who shoot unarmed black people after they cover black atrocities I mean this channel cares so much. Also give numbers of black people who have died like in the transatlantic slave trade.

Isn't it obvious that xenophobia will grow as leftists continue to insist on open border policies? If leaders really cared about bigotry, they would tighten immigration. But leftists believe they can have it both ways, and will do much work to convince us that we are too racist and ignorant to appreciate their ideology.

Thanks so much, really appreciate you and God be with you always in Jesus name.

Thank you so much for this information, please does it require IELTS or not? God bless you

Europe should just withdraw from all those refugee treaties. Those speaking in favour of them have purposefully blinded themselves from the havoc being caused by them in Europe. These liberal types too should be deported from Europe. Let them live with those refugees whom they love soo much. Europe is not the birthright of Muslims.

I am so pleased to see so much common sense in a Guardian comments section! ? I am anti the bs that’s going on in the west but came here to have my pov challenged, seems we’re all in agreement ????

For the same reason that it's rising in the UK- there's too much of it.

Isnt she white? Lol . I hate havjng too much to drink sometimes. I always f up but i f up less when i drink so maybe i shouldnt try quit lol. Im just sick of being like this. I hate feeling normal and im doing a job by myself that shluld be done by 2. Im scared and its hard

Thank you very much for bringing this wonderful program.\nHow ever I want you to help me with the Cv/resume Canadian format.\nThank you in advance.

people stay in ur own country , life is much better there .

More Canadians are leaving major cities or Canada in general. The quality of life has dropped so much more in recent years but there were signs earlier right about 2009 when the market crashed. The Canadian dream is over

They don’t even talk about the education and health care \n\nEventually we will have not enough school and hospital,they don’t even contribute to the government just try to make as much kids as they can and receiving benefits to pay their mortgage and 10 people living in a condo unit etc

This is happening almost everywhere in the West. I don't have as much of an issue with immigrants as I do with consistently bad leaders who will not deal with the issues.

It took me about 4 years to get into Canada. Had to go through a waiting process. But, then finally got it. Where as now, you pretty much have no waiting process. And, its because of that... where the economy has gotten so bad, that my parents had to lose their house. Stop this STRESS.

There are countries without that much immigration and still have housing and poverty problems. That tells me that this has nothing to do with immigration but with our current system

Pretty much lured international students to Canada to be debt slaves. This is another form of exploitation practiced in the West.

My grandfather was a photographer for Agricultural Canada and was able to raise a family of six own a house a new car every four years own a cottage my grandmother didn't work. He retired forty years ago he's still alive. I wonder how much an individual would have to make annually to do that now

Was this posted by True North for likes, clicks and comments, how much did you make? You say mind your own business and I say show me how to make the money

Funny that a British newspaper would project that much by spotlighting another country. Hey Guardian, you should ask your own citizens first. Tommy Robinson has some excellent answers for you!

How much of this is just due to giant corporations buying up all the housing and jacking up rents?

It is definitely Trudeau's policies on immigration that causes this overflow of immigrants. Too much is too much! Put the breaks on immigration before it gets to the point of riots like what is happening in the UK , Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany etc. I completely switch my views on immigration in the last two years. We are being abused by the system of immigration in Canada. And let's dump the liaison with the WEF.

These Indian kids would be much better off just joining the US military for education benefits.

I don't understand why common sense people in, America don't understand that we don't have the housing for, Americans, much less, millions of immigrants as well as other resources all people will need.

Too much is too much, in the evening I walk through the streets of my country and I only see Arabs, black people, Pakistanis. This is wrong, there are also our rights as Europeans

We gave away to much to ungrateful people! We don’t need any more imagination.

Your government will NEVER listen to you. You are the great experiment. Just like the UK. NOTHING will change with the change in leadership. Because votes don't empower government. Treasury bonds do. Your vote is an illusion to keep you compliant. Just vote, if enough people want change, change will happen. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. The UK government only had 20% of the votes and now they are in power and there are riots all over the UK because Two teir keir siad he would rather be in DAVOS than WESTMINSTER.... Sorry my Candian friends but it is only going to get worse.. Much worse.

Listen I feel for migrants and refugees, but it’s also not the job of other countries to take them on. Most countries are already struggling to provide for their own people. This is why I understand why leaders like Trump say he wants to send back illegal immigrants. So much resources have to provided to refugees and migrants. It’s important for people to also push back and reform their own countries. If they are seeking refuge due to circumstances beyond any control, then it’s somewhat understandable…however, many factors need to be considered before taking them on. All country’s citizens deserve the priority first. So many countries are struggling and then are expected to provide for illegal immigrants/migrants :( it’s not fair to these countries.

It is totally about too much population and a failed idea of exponential growth ,more and more people is a joke on us Canadians that does not work for anyone except bankers .We have to stop further immigration ,get it together and build .there is no more room in zToronto or Vancouver .send the immigrants to Regina and Saskatoon where the is room and like my Ukrainian grandparents were send in the 1930 to develop the land and serve a purpose to Canadas further development and future .The current immigration policies are a failed joke ,on us .

Native born are left in the dust while the so called government helps foreign countries and immigrants get ahead with billions of dollars of subsidization(free handouts pretty much).

Knocking on Landlord & Tenant Board, sleeping too much on the job eh?

canada is big start building up west north little colder so what so much land immigrants or not

Comunism is comming to Canada. It is not a joke, people! Prepare for much worse. Who went through a living in the cominist country knows what I mean. Who didn't - will see how a cancer spreads, and how it taste. It has allready started.

i just asked a.i why construction costs are through the roof and one of three reasons is increased fuel costs ... and shortage of construction workers ... the real problem is the supply and demand ... if you don't agree people should think about what happens when not enough people are buying something at the retail stores - the thing will go on sale. Don't forget the WEF is in Switzerland where they have anonymous Swiss bank accounts and ten billionaires for every politician who attends ... no chance for global real estate investment corporations to bribe our politicians to make life almost unbearable for too many Canadians by bringing in too many people so the price of real estate goes unchecked eh ? It's a vicious cycle now ... construction costs are too high now due to too much immigration ... immigration must be slowed down !!!
