TFW here, east Asian, a couple of things:\nI am paid the provincial minimum wage, and work in the dairy industry, medium sized farm.\nI started working straight out of high school\n\nFrom what I can see and hear from across the province and largely in the western Canadian provinces, older generation farmers are at the retirement age, but the younger generation is generally very reluctant to take over. \nNot all industries, but definitely in livestock, people sometimes don't realize that, there is literally no breaks, ever! You work every day, holidays, Christmas, and if you do chose to take a few days off, your co-workers, i.e. other family members or workers, have to take up the extra workload. You barely have time for your family, you are often tired around your kids. Farmers have some of the highest suicide rates among all occupations, as well as a difficulty to find partners due to the nature of their jobs.\nThe work is hard, days long, especially during harvests, and if the ever more expensive tractors, equipment fail...\nThere used to be a lot of family owned farms, over the last few decades most have sold their generational farm and left the industry, most because of the cost to operate and because the next generation's unwillingness to take over.\nYong people my age have not been seen applying for my position in a few years now, despite ongoing hiring effort at significantly higher than minimum wage, and I have repeatedly stated that I, although love my job, am ready to step aside at any point so a Canadian PR or citizen can take my position, as required by worker rules. There were a few inquiries from neighboring areas, mostly made by parents, but their children in the end all refused to work, even part time, or seasonal.\n\nOn the other hand, there is the issue of prices: equipment costs have largely more than doubled since the pandemic, grain prices rose... and all that on top of the constant uncertainty of the weather every planting and harvesting season. Most farms don't ever make a profit after the yearly operating cost is deducted from earnings, and the little profit that on occasion appear, goes right back into paying debt or reinvesting in renewing long overdue old equipment.\n\nMy position, and all those similar to mine in agriculture, are in all fairness, very low skilled, with minimum training, and therefore is only worth minimum wage, in my opinion. I was actually offered a higher amount but in the end turned it down because on the job, I discovered the only thing I bring to the table is manual labor (I know that's not really the right way to go about wages, but I do believe that wages should be based on the irreplaceableness of one's skills, and as it stands, although no replacements were ever found, I am very much easily replaceable, skill wise). That, compared to a slightly better paid Starbucks position, with benefits (most farm workers and owners don't have benefits or pension, yes owners too), air conditioning, regular work hours. I mean, if it wasn't for my particular interest for agriculture I'd pick Starbucks any day too!\n\nI think a couple issues are at hand, \n1. Most of agriculture's profit ends up in the corporate processing and supermarkets, that needs to change, workers could benefit, as well as consumers, from distributing that profit between farmers and shoppers.\n2. Agriculture in today's context no longer fit the modern life, although I strongly think that A LOT of people can benefit from getting their hands dirty once in a while and sweating a bit, improve physical and mental health, have better discipline all that jazz. So foreign workers are the temporary solution, if well regulated so that Canadian PR and citizens are ALWAYS prioritized for hire and at a fair wage. This cannot happen unless farmers can turn a profit, stated in point 1.\n3. A new generation of farmers are needed to take over, and they need to be somehow convinced that it is worth the toil, because as it stands, it is not, financially, life style wise. Automation is one solution, although therein lies the huge, foreseeable risk of corporate takeover.\n4. On a specific note, TFW does mandate that workers are provided up to standard housing (not always followed), which puts local workers at a huge disadvantage if they are commuting to work and paying rent, although that rarely happens, and the majority of farms do offer housing to all.\n\n\nI am aware that me being treated up to regulation is not the norm among my TFW peers, which is quite sad and unacceptable. But in my opinion, even if given a leveled playing field, wages , conditions, housing, etc. Canadian citizens and PRs largely will be unable to meet the demand for these jobs, from unwillingness to work really hard physically, unwillingness to live the lifestyle, wanting a career with better prospects... these are harsh words, but I believe to be true, and they also come from a lot of older generation farmers talking about their children and grandchildren. \n\nThis is just in the agri industry, and from what I hear from farmers from all over western Canada : )

NO FORIGN WORKERS SHOULD HAVE EVER BEEN ALLOWED TO STEAL A CANADIAN JOB FROM AN ELIGIBLE CANADIAN.. ITS A WAGE ISSUE TAX ISSUE NOT LABOUR ? the governments are to blame ...

Mass immigration is responsible for this situation. The governments huge lack of any sense of what the country wants or sense what so ever. Deportation and a slow down of immigration to match the housing market is needed.

Justin Trudeau doesn't cares, destroys takes our taxpayers money corrupted guy ever canadians no longer need liberals Justin Trudeau anymore.....????????????

I worked in a retail store with where Indians shopped regularly. They were the very rude to the sales helps. They talked down to us and they were the worst thieves the store has ever seen. Our regular customers started going else ware because of this problem. I'm afraid Canada is no longer a great, desirable country because we have aloud it to be taken over by the east indians. It is the governments fault but is is also the fault of the indians because they have not adapted to the Canadian way of life. They want us to adapt to their way of life. Please close the doors to any further indian immigrants or students . Go back to India if you don't like what Canada wont do for you.. I am a senior citizen and it makes me sick to see what you people have done to my country.

Go home make India great again if it’s was ever great I don’t know thank you

When india can get its overpopulation and poverty problem under control, and migrate here without importing bad third world behaviors, then they'd have a better reception in Canada. \n \nThe blatant corruption and third world mindset that abounds in India is going to destroy Canada unless something is done to curtail it. \n \nBangladesh is less than a tenth of the land mass of Alberta and Bangladesh has 171 million people. \n \nYou cannot tell me that people who come from such conditions could ever understand or value what makes Canada different in terms of sanitation and prosperity when the experience of people in India and neighboring regions is so different. \n \nAll I ever hear from Indians is their lack of comprehension or value that lower populations has, in fact many of them have contempt for the fact that anglo westerners don't want to live in dirty and overcrowded conditions. \n \nImporting hundreds of thousands of people with that mindset is going to cause intractable problems with the host country, and you can cry racism all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that there are obvious incompatibilities between people of the overcrowded third world and first world nations.

OMG, thank you so much for such a great video I've ever seen on YouTube, lady! I have a question. Is it required for unskilled workers to have an English or French language certificate?

Where ever a country is failing or a war breaks thats where the next wave of freeloaders will come from right now its the Ukrainian losers

Indians are the rudest people ever.

In the last two years you've seen massive increase of immigration from India. Modi keeps winning elections because he kicks non-Hindu out from India. India for Indians, or what ever Modi now calls them. That's how Indian thinks. Canada for the North American Natives and Westerners as well as minorities who have already immigrated. Most Indians hate Canadians btw. and won't be satisfied until this is a colony of India.

Have you ever, in your life, seen a worse goverment in Canada

Worst leader ever

Hello there, I was wondering, if I can share with you the most important thing ever in your life. God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. Then He was put into a tomb for 3 days, after that Abba Father raised Jesus to life.He appeared to people, and went back to heaven. We all must sincerely receive Jesus into our life to be God's child. See John 1:12 for this please. Will you today genuinely by faith receive Jesus into your life for salvation?

Coming from LATAM to Germany sounds like a journey. You must feel like a real alien among people that wouldn't EVER accept a coffee and some chit-chat.

Yeaaaah right! The colleges are just afraid of losing money thats all it ever is!

Real Canadians never agreed nor ever wanted mass immigration have they ever stopped to even ask that just cause trudy is guilty of treason doesnt mean we are in on the illegal human smuggling ring

Some of them are rac !st and they're unconscionable as they have infiltrated the job market and taken all the jobs. How can you just swarm people's country like this didn't they ever hear of birth control?

Why don’t they ever strike in Dubai?

Part of the problem is our politicians becoming so corrupt working With your countrymen getting your kickbacks from a temporary foreign worker program. a temp work a program that's been going on for over 30 years so I hardly think it's temporary don't you? they don't realize how pissed off their constituents are. And trust me and once we actually figure out the level of your corrupting our institutions you're going to pay for what you've done because there's obviously been some type of conspiracy going on everyone knows it. when there are so many coincidences that there's no longer a rationale to judge it coincidence There's little point in US pretending that everything is hunky-dory and hey it must be just simply a misunderstanding no it's you guys sabotaging Canada and other parts of the West. Indians don't believe your little propagandist in Chief here she's just being played by Modi's puppeteering little fingers. You know it's time we get our house in order in the Anglosphere is actually for reestablishing the British Empire or maybe an angle Empire of sorts with America Australia Canada New Zealand and all the rest of the gang and actually put some order back into this world that actually makes sense. we should have never abandoned our Empires and colonies we should actually kept them even stronger. Time to lock down our intellectual property again and not share any of future developments anymore. No more sharing such valuable with such ingrates. Lock down and do as much innovation as we can in the coming decades so that we can make centuries of progress in a few decades and then maybe get the advantage back again and then tell these people were never actually letting our guard ever again. let's make it a capital offense to share any intellectual property or technologies from the West to these assholes from now. Isn't it very curious that you won't talk embracing globalization free trade how quickly the West loss control over everything that I had and it's awesome under its aegis. How quickly companies like Nortel were totally destroyed and then we have a weird quickest tendency of something like Huawei. With obviously knock off the products that took a hell a lot of research and development for companies like Nortel who actually did the work to make. Let's see how well they're actually able to innovate when they actually no longer have access to the cookie jar. It pisses me off like we've done so much on this planet to actually push Humanity forward into a much more modern era where would be nice to travel to the Stars mind you like Country like we are nothing but Scoundrels and we had nothing but yeah. When you guys need the next revolutionary processor or whatever don't come with running to us because yeah I think we're about done in the West

I was going to my place of work and close behind me was a young Indian lady. So, as any Canadian would have done, I held the door because I didn’t want it to slam in her face as she enters. She walked right through the door without even an acknowledgment, not even a “thank you.” It was one of the rudest things a person has ever done to me in years. \n\nNow, when I see an Indian person close by if I am entering any doors, I am conflicted. What’s the point of being kind/courteous if they can’t pay it forward?

Best video ever seen on Canada economy \nProud of you ❤❤?

Indian infrastructure is worst qualitative ever?\n\nMentality of cleaning just worst \n\nHindu , muslim, caste, reservation, se aage agar baatein hi nhi hogi to kya hi hoga.. ?.. I know sb apni cast or dharm ko pasand krte hai or koi india ko kyu nhi pasand krta ki uski bi baat ho. \n\nFake promots of every netaji.. \nEvery politician blames each other, but never stand for anything.. \n\nLiving in history.. India ke politician bss ek dusre pr unki historical galtiyon pr swal utathe hai pr.. Koi ye nhi bolta ki ab kya krna hai ya aage kya krna hai.

App ka baath sahi hai but never ever can a indian understand mee too brother

Very informative video ?. One interesting fact about Canada ??? The coldest temperature ever recorded in Canada was −63.0°C (−81.4°F) in Snag, Yukon, on February 3, 1947. This is close to the coldest temperature ever recorded outside Antarctica.

Do you ever ask why do they leave their country? They won't say it right away because it's a difficult topic to discuss, I'll give you 2 pointers:\n1. Lack of Jobs \n2. Quota system

Ruled by Invader for nearly a 1000 years, now even after 77 years of independence they are still sitting at rank 141 in per capita ( 131 after ppp adjustment) with a meagre $ 4 trillion economy inspite having abundant natural resources, unbelievable talent and a rich history... one can only imagine the level of arrogance if they ever make it to the top 50 list, let alone top 10... \nBy the way this illiterate Punjabi immigration and Microsoft tech support scam is pretty recent, started in 2018.. thanks to youtube comments section, the Indian dumb arrogance in in full display for the world to see....

y'all, if you arent german or sth similiar looking, dont plan to ever move to germany. Racism is next lvl in Europe, and not worth it.

India is supplying fraud students to the world. every country is sick of Indian students and when you ever talk to these students, they tell how modi made India so great. ????

It's Trudeau people. He does anything to get votes and Canadians back in to Liberal mind. If he ever won the election (God Forbid) he will have them back in droves.. He lies constantly and promises the world and then when he is securely ensconced as the supreme dictator he will go back on every promise as he has been doing. He is a bully and will go to any length to push and punish Canadians.

Good indians are being kicked out it proves india is not striving in their country the Indians are yearning to leave India when ever they get the chance millions are living in the Middle East

No, they don’t have a right to stay in Canada. Once the Visa expires they go back to their country. These visas are ridiculous, stop handing them out like Chiclets. student visas should never have been linked to permanent resident pathways, 3/4 of these people haven’t seen the inside of a classroom since they landed here. Biggest international scam ever and the colleges and government are in cahoots.

There is no place like home real friends support of community no other place will ever be better just opportunities that's it money it means nothing gone in a flash unless your home is dangerous I'd not relocate

Have you ever asked Indian government why their people want to run our the country ?modi is destroying India

Because there is too many people going after too few jobs. But instead of Canada's Universities lowering tuition fees and accepting more students into business programs, Canada continues to raise tuition fees and reject more and more applicants than ever into Canada's universities business programs. I have a master's degree and I am STILL unemployed. Oh an by the way I have my truck driving license also.

Sounds like you’re not doing too,badly. I can’t afford to travel like you,do. So excuse me if I don’t feel bad for you. Do me,a favor and don’t let the door hit your,ass on the way out. And don’t come back. Ever. Especially if you get real sick, or stuck in a Muslim country at war and then cry for the Canadian government to bail you out. You scream entitled.

Canadians don’t appreciate the lack of respect. I will say that I have enjoyed my working relationships with my professional Indian colleagues. They were respectful, cultured, and some of the best humour I’ve ever encountered (Gurpreet, this one’s for you)!

Enough is enough. Cant stand their behaviors no more. Thinking they can do what ever they want. You took the jobs of the citizens of this country when they came to Canada stating they are going to study. That alone is fraud. Send them back, and put some deodorants in their bags as gift from Canada

The worst politician ever seen in my lifetime

This is the easiest decision he could have ever made. What took so long?

Now he is going to put all these people against canadiens...??\nGood Job Justin!!!!!!\nWhat else could had expected from you!!!.....\nThe biggest rat ever created

smartest shit he could ever do... crime is up poverty is up prices are up...

Will they ever do strike or protest in india for not having almost any job or dor paying labour wages to engineers?\nI bet no. This shows canada is far better in democracy and human rights.

Best news ever . Stay out we're full.

Us as Canadians need to deal with this issue in a better manner.\nTrudeau did this by design, it’s all about dividing the masses and causing chaos. \n\nThe immigration levels are insane, in the last 4 years, I’ve seen more Indians and Philippinos than ever. \nCanada is built on immigration but everyone needs a place to live. Everyone needs a job.\n\nTelling me to go home because there isn’t enough room isn’t rude, it’s not about being a bigot or racist. \n\nPeople are literally starving, going homeless, not being able to get by.\n\nSo yes when you see a bunch of immigrants taking over all the jobs, it’s a little concerning. \nEspecially when 10 of them can rent one apartment. How does that make sense.\n\nNobody is speaking up though, they do it in the worst way possible, if they do.

Even before watching I can tell you - Germany does not want Skilled labor immigrants, but unskilled. They hardly ever allow a skilled immigrant to get the skilled jobs that they have the skills for so lots of skilled people actually end up doing unskilled jobs - because they are not let to do the skilled work. It has been for decades and I don't see it going away. Yes I said skilled so many times on purpose. Germany made its bed and it will have to lay in it. Shocker of the century for all countries I know.

i don't get it, public defecation is good for fertilizing the soil, it is natural to do that, we did it for millions of years before we invented jeans and underwear, we used to poop on-site where ever we are, canadians are backwards and should learn to embrace indian culture.

Best decision ever.

Excellent! Canada must train First Nations people for these jobs so they can get a step on the ladder to success. Immigration consultants IN INDIA charge ridiculous amounts to help people from India complete very simple application forms. These consultants in India are really the slave traders who find cheap labour for predatory Canadian employers. Plus only a few immigrants from India ever succeed in Canada. Most are taxi drivers and restaurant workers.

Funny how you can just claim to be bisexual and they don't have to prove it at all. Has he ever been with a man, ever? Nope.
