We need to shut down immigration until we're at full employment, the participation rate is near 100%, wages are rising, and young people have enough confidence in their futures to begin starting families. We don't need or want any more immigrants.

Man, a lot of agencies run by Chinese help their clients through these shady practices. I remember going through one of these agencies after university to see if I can get some government scholarships to furthur my education with hopes that it'll help with job prospects, and they advised me that they would pad my resume with bogus employment history in order to meed the scholarship requirements, and I noped out of there. I wonder what is it about China that encourages people to turn to scams/shady practices?

Are they not proud Chinese citizens oh... I get it now, they makev ONLY take Canadians citizenship so they can get taxpayer assistance for low wage workers. While in truth they're running a business or living without need for being daily employed this is totally outrageous... how is the average person to ever prosper or accumulated anything by working hard and the rich steal every sheckel and short the rules to take every inch...

Well, at least Chinese immigrant won't give out terrorism attack and beg for coins after they landed Canada. Most ppl would like to live here, but the immigration process takes a long time ( like a year) they don't know what to do just relying on what the immigration agency ask them to do and they have a job back in their own country and cannot forsee an employment right after landing.

These women who have a dress code that basically shuts them out of the employment market should not be eligible for welfare. They choose to wear clothes that make it impossible to work and pay taxes. I dont want to support them. Everyone else has to dress apropriately for work and employment.

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... ?

If the RCMP is wise, they should employ dozens, maybe hundreds of legal Chinese immigrants who put in their time and effort to become 100% legit immigrants, and use them, to uncover these frauds.\n\nThere is a strong Chinese sense of loyalty to the law, and if the RCMP were smart, they would use these assets and people, who would likely be more than willing to help, root out these criminals.

He lived 15 YEARS IN THE U.S. AND STILL CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH!!!!!!!! How about no more crutches like ... press #1 for Spanish and #2 for English or having to employ translators and spend extra money on bilingual signs and paperwork!!! Why come here if all you do is refuse to assimilate. People of the country you are illegally going to shouldn't have to change for you ... YOU should change to be in that country. Sorry but this is just another self inflicted sad story.

05:05 yes better muslim!\nBut I'm affraid, very difficult to employ.

Omg!!! Will they get room service too? Four Seasons? Here I am working 50 hours a week, went to college, pay taxes and my own healthcare from my employer then busting my ass and can barely make rent. Can I get a free hotel too? Where did we go wrong here.

Most of their women are being terrorized and brainwashed from birth forward into believing and following the Islamic Muslim religion.\nSharia law and all.\n This is why some of them are saying they \n'don't mind' being subjected to this 'dress code'.\n So - how are these forever covered up women obtaining the proper, for the list of health needs via a regular dose of needed sunshine on their skin? \n Has the world's health\ncare industry noted any \nproblems arising from this?\n And/or, are the taxpayers being additionally burdened with this health care requirement? In one way or the other? Like providing them with expensive private tanning equipment and/or property area's where they can take a sun bath regularly?\n We all already know most of them are on and stay on welfare. With most of the women refusing to and being excused from any employment work, as their political CULT demands.

Enough is enough, go get a job in your own country and stop lowering our employers expectations, turning our country in slave labor, as if 10$/hour was a freaking goldmine !\nYou can't even eat, other than junk/fast food, for that price for god sakes. Forget about buying a house as well.\nMeanwhile pricks make tv shows of themselves eating like pigs, spending more money in a day than most of us earn in a year.(lifetime?)

As a black man I rather live among the white than among these so called punjabis...just look how they treat each other in India, the North Indians don't want to have nothing to do with South indians all because they are a little darker...in Canada here they would rather employ only Punjabi, and no other race...if an Indian girl married a black man look how they will treat her. They would kill her and have nothing to do with her...and then you all talk about how whites are racist, oh please cry me a river....I rather live among the white people than among some of you...atleast white would employ a black man...these so called punjabis hardly ever employ a black man...if you all dont want to mix why come to canada...canada is a multi culture, please stay in India please and thanks!

He should never have been allowed to stay for 15 yrs illegally in the US. And now he should be deported from Canada as he has once again flouted the laws of the land he has arrived in. How can he be working if he has flouted the laws of the land? Is he working illegally as well? If so the employers should also be prosecuted and given a heavy fine to deter them doing it again.

The name thing is totally correct employers totally judge you on your name

In Canada, there are hardly many jobs and no infrastructure for our own people. Even less willing the spend money to create jobs and infrastructure themselves. Unless you are able to build your own home and create your own business and employ US, there's next to nothing here for you as it is for ourselves.

I live in Toronto, Canada.\n\nFirstly, their are 500 men,women and children being placed in hotels temporarily. Much better than cages! \n\nSecondly, these individuals have already gone through the immigration process, hearing claims, back ground checks, medical checks. So these individuals in hotels have already been accepted to stay in Canada. They are in hotels due to Housing shortage issue. \n\nThird, way more illegal immigrants have been detained and removed from Canada. \n\nFourth, most of these people are families. Canada is very skeptical of accepting males. Sorry guys! \n\nFifth, these hotels have a contract with the government. These are the same hotels that were used to temporarily shelter Syrian refugees. Usually 3-4 families stay in one hotel. 500 people won't be staying in the same hotel. Plus the hotels charge the government an insane amount. So they make money. \n\nSixth, more than 10% of hotel cleaning jobs go unfilled. Guess what? Most of these asylum seekers end up working in the hotels they're staying in because of program called Employing Newcomers in Canadian Hotels Project. \n\nDon't worry about us America we know what we're doing. Trust me, no children were separated from their families and placed in cages.

I will use NO local business that employs illegals, nor online shop if I suspect they do. Employers showing up with illegal workers will be told why I am sending them packing. I will not even smile at an illegal, nor make them welcome in my community. I am sick of this and I am going to do what I can right where I am at. I suggest you do the same.

Former drama teacher turned Canadian Prime Minister... yes that's right his previous job was a drama teacher.... let's neglect the fact that he was a Member of Parliament for 5 years before running as PM, and that he had already quit being a drama teacher 5 years before becoming a member of parliament. But hey this is Tucker's show and and this is fox, the truth is not at issue here.\n.\nYou know what, America - send us all your illegal immigrants, we welcome them. We have a serious need for labour. I alone am looking to employ 2 people at $14 an hour and can't find anyone. As the illegals are granted stay (until their application is processed) they generally find work and get out of the shelters within 6 months.... That's how long it takes to get work here.... 6 months... and they are being snatched up by employers. As an employer you run the risk that you may lose them if they are not granted stay. Oh and they get full health care here ) not free though). Not bad for a socialist country huh?

Why cant they apply legally. Perhaps some democrat employers will extend help to them

Some of this people think that they can just walked in a country, without papers, the language, or any employable skill.

Canada won’t be inclined to import questionable or people that will not be employable maybe

Loss prevention officers wouldn't be good at their jobs if they DIDN'T employ a healthy level of stereotyping. They aren't doing it to be racists or bigots. They're doing it because it's actually EFFECTIVE at mitigating company thefts. Sorry, but that's the cold hard truth. Insurance companies do the exact same thing when determining your premium. It's called risk management. And if you think that's discrimination, then you obviously don't understand how money works.

Hi Igor, thanks very much for this video cos it i think it was made specifically for me. I will be joining SAIT this Fall term for Diploma in Civil Engineering technology. Since you are in Calgary and you have had previous experience with some construction companies, I would like to meet up with you when I arrive in Canada for a possible employment recommendation. \nThanks

LMAO LMAO.....I can't stop laughing about her comment on paying taxes. Is she that stupid??? Being drunk is just an excuse, she is sorry racist pityful excuse for a human being. What an example for her children to behave that way. Her kids must be ashamed and disappointed in how she behaved..I would be if my mother behaved that way in public. Kudos to the company and boss who fired her. She should be charged for threats and assault. C'mon women, let's be classy and behave like ladies, ...clearly she comes off uneducated, unruly, narrow minded, have no knowledge of the outside world at all. Someone should wash her mouth with diesel or something.....it is very foul and laughable. I don't think she will be very employable person with that kind of attitude and behavior. NOT ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR IN ALBERTA, QUEBEC, CANADA, OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY KELLY POCHA - AND I AM WRITING IT IN ENGLISH!

HI, To apply to some company to become a journeyman, is it necessary to have a resident permit? Or it is possible to come to Canada as a tourist and find an employer?

Speak English dude. People like him are the reason we in the US cater to Spanish speakers and employers turn away able applicants for Spanish speaking ones receiving first pick.

with respect to the job situation I am not really surprised at all. The higher up you go in terms of qualifications requirements is the less likely you are to find discrimination based on names in Toronto. \n\nThe real discrimination is at the bottom of the pay scale where the people making the decisions are less likely to be university educated and more likely to be say a white forklift driver who came up through the ranks and has been promoted through length of service rather than and specific qualification. He is likely tp still hold on to that Èthey are taking our jobs È mentality.\n\nAnother thing to consider in this Ontario/Toronto employment thing too is this. Ethnic employers tend to discriminated HEAVILY against anyone who is not of their ethnicity. The Chinese hire almost exclusively Chinese, partly because they can pay them less than minimum wage and get away with it. Indian employers hire almost exclusively Indians for the same reasons but additionally because they can get away with any number of safety violations because Indian workers tolerate and in fact tend to violate those safety codes in a normal situation anyway.\n\nThe same with Portuguese construction workers, they can pay them way less, get them to violate construction codes and cut corner on safety without being reported by or having workers complain. Polish and Romanian construction workers the same thing.

He doesn’t seem all that oppressed to me. Nice car, dressed in nice clothes, employed.

Adios. You can’t even speak English. That demonstrates you have no desire for North American culture and customs. My grandpa had to learn French when he emigrated to Canada from Holland more than a hundred years ago. When him and my grandma emigrated to the United States, they learned English and gained citizenship. They only had two kids and my grandpa employed people who he refused to let go during the depression in the 1930’s. What have you done for our country?

We need the same approach when it comes to Syrians in Canada. Every immigrant takes work from a Canadian. Unlike Canadians who help out everyone when it comes to employment. East Indians for example only hire east indians from my experience alot of foreigners only hire their own. Say for example when Alberta was busy the government flooded the market with tfw(temporary foreign workers)to support the trades, but then let them all stay. Now it's slow and there are foreigners working when Canadians need jobs. Cause unlike Canadians they refer all their foreign friends for work. We need to curb this shit in Canada and stop being so kind! Atleast most Mexicans have similar traditional values as most generational Canadians. Unlike most middle eastern countries.

This upsets me a great deal! My father was a vet, who served , And Trudeau says no money is avaiable, My dad he died ok, and you can give money to a refugee,and shaft my mother who is a widow. Shame on you ! Its true that the refugeess ,get a house,a car , etc, and yet low income Canadians who are on a waitlist get shafted for the low income housing.. We have homeless folks who suffer from Mental illness are seniors on the streets in Calgary alberta,and are waiting for a place to live . In regards to jobs , Canadian employers will hire the refugee over a Canadian because he or she will play the RACE CARD. . CBC wake up! This is the reality of what is happening !.. Folks next election vote TRUDEAU OUT!

I feel sorry for this man and his family! But I wonder how sorry he feels, knowing that by coming to Canada, he and his fellow immigrant countrymen have, taken jobs away from Canadians? 1500 people like myself that have worked here all their lives? I was working in the meat industry for over fifteen years, just to have my employer, take my skilled job and give it too an unskilled worker, under the temporary foreign worker program. That program was set up by the federal government for unskilled workers, coming to Canada for unskilled jobs that Canadians didn't want. My job was a skilled job, that I had to work my way up from the bottom, to the level of employment, that only skilled workers were capable of doing. This temp program was for unskilled employment only! But if your employer is big enough in the industry, the government allows them to bend the laws of the land, and give your jobs to any undereducated immigrant that comes along...WTF? Canada wake up!!!

Whoever employs this man in Edmonton probably has the biggest heart and I would like to work for him juan day .

The fact that developed countries are starting to close off their borders to low skilled immigration for lack of resources and employment could be a sign of the times and automation will eventually take over. What's next? Start thining the herd of low skilled workers at home by making homelessness a crime? Bringing back coal alone cannot save the US. Well have to wait and see.

I do appreciate what was said in the show but there other types of discrimination by employers, landlords, stores. It can be how you dress, how you wear your hair, what colour your hair is, if you have tats. For employers, your medical history: I was refused a job at a bank because my grandfather was epileptic and it was thought that I might have the problem. When looking for an apartment or house it really all depends on the owners frame of mind on that particular day, not your references. So it is invasive in all of our lives. Human nature is not all good.

America is not all about war war war and guns just because we have a big military jeez! And not everyone here has a gun, there are some people that just don't like them for different reasons.\n If you come to a place like Texas yea just about everybody here has one I do, but there are still people even here that don't like um. You can't be an expert on another country by being there 100 something days. And I don't understand where everybody has this impression that all Americans are fat. Americans come in all shapes and sizes the same as everywhere els and other parts of the country are more health conscious than others. In every state you will find hundreds of gyms and plenty of muscled up fit Americans.\n As for the health care thing, I don't get it either but that was Obama momma and his stupid ideas, he was trying to destroy this country on purpose you know he's a muslim and we will never let one of those bastards sneak their way in office again. Now that Trump is in office he is trying to fix that or make it better some how. I have often wondered why can't we have a healthcare system like Canada's but America spends all of it's money on so many things in the world because of our position on the world stage we just can't work that out, thats what happens when you're the world super power.\n Most Americans have health insurance through their employer, a certain amount is taken out of our paycheck every month and if I get sick or have an emergency I pay a small co pay at the doctors office which is 35 dollars and emergency room co pay is 150 the insurance pays the rest.

it's not the religion.... it's the mac's convenience and the corner stores selling tropicana juice for 6 bucks a liter. It's the family oriented hiring policies and the rural area stores being bought and not offering fishing bait, ice or firewood but instead offering dollar store fishing lures for 20 bucks. it's the electronic stores that sell tape decks and old CD players. The stuff that really makes a bad impression is when a muslim family buys a Pizza Pizza or a subway and then changes the restaurant so that there is no where to be seated and the food is processed by someone who won't look me in the eye once and speaks a language that I can't understand to an employer about my sandwich and i will never know what the problem was. I feel like my spanish and native friends treat me the same as them. I feel like the scottish guy who hates me for not waking up at 5 in the morning is only mad because i'm not working as hard as him. I'm saying that maybe a lot of muslims don't want to be our friends and maybe some do... but it seems like they don't want to be my friend but will message a pretty white girl on every single facebook post with paragraphs of physical praise. i probably get a lot of facts wrong... but that world may be too far away for us to acclimate into each others societies. I'd like it though if we could all live in such a manner where we could feel like we aren't all gunning for a chunk of the world.

As an employer, there is nothing more frightening then calling someone from a resume, when you have NO CLUE how to pronounce their name. Very awkward. And a lot of it could really be that simple.

Why doesn't CBC do a show on discrimination against white cis-gendered men in the workforce and how employers prefer to hire non-whites and women because of affirmative action??

My experience in Canada has been largely positive, with only minimal racial difficulties.  As a teenager, I do recall some kids making blatantly racist comments, when I was the only minority in the room; but they were silly girls, popular and full of themselves, and most of the students who heard did not laugh with them. We all knew it was wrong.  Another time I was told, by an agent, that a potential employer claimed she would not hire me because of my race.  I did not hear these words firsthand, though, so it was impossible for me to verify the truth. In the end, I let the matter alone. Other people,  I realize, have endured severe injustices; such have not been my experience, but this does not subtract from their reality.  Indeed, racism does exist, and shall remain as long as there are imbeciles wallowing in the mire of ignorance, people who cling to an absurd sense of superiority for lack of something more meaningful to hold.  As well--and it must be said!--quite likely, we all have, at some point, entertained discriminatory thoughts. 'Tis not a 'black and white' problem but a human one, and we must be mindful of it beginning with ourselves.  Canada, then, with its many inhabitants and complex history, will never be the exception. We can't expect perfection among people, here or anywhere else in the world.  Even so,  I believe there are enough fellow Canadians who strive to treat people as individuals and are happy to make friends across cultures.  My life has been and continues to be a testament to that!  Whatever our troubles, we still retain a proud heritage of diversity and progressive ethnic harmony.  We do try, and for this reason I love my country.  I am deeply patriotic and immensely proud to be part of it!  

I am not impressed mate. I also know a few foregn words. Do you think that people will think you are clever? I actually think you are stupid and I bet you are not employed. You would not be ranting this shit if you had a job. Thats a thing about muslims, they only rant like this if they are not earning.
