So basically the differences are minor. No wonder many foreigners think of Canada as US 2.0. Because if you need to differentiate Italy from Austria, the difference is obvious: different language, different culture, different architecture, different traditions. You won’t see that in US and Canada. And no one cares what forms of government these countries have. That’s not what makes you a distinct nation. No one thinks of Italy as Italy because of its government, lol.

Some of those students look much older then what I think a student would be. I shop at a independent grocery store not part of a chain well I know all the ladies that work at the cash registers about 2 weeks ago I go shopping I thought I was in a different country everyone working the cash registers was from India all students but let's remember give business owners a payout for hiring these students so the business saves money and get cheap labour iam against this it's counter productive for Canada.

The balls on these people. They need to leave the country when they are supposed to legally do so. Canada and actual Canadians should take a stand on this and don’t back down. I do not drink coffee or eat fast food. So I have no need for these people. Get your education and get out. I am an immigrant that came to Canada legally. No one bent the rules for me nor for people whom I have met here that are also immigrants all legally from several different nations in Europe as well as Caribbean and South American. All actually hold decent paying jobs nurses, engineers business owners ect. They work hard to make a life for themselves and their families to become successful Canadians. Send all these students back when their time is up. If not it’s only going to cost Canadians and immigrants that contribute and wish to be Law abiding Canadians that do more than serve food and coffee.

@True North\nHonest fact: Canada is too generous and fair country. Many people of different backgrounds have exploited our countries relaxed policies, and our politicians have remained oblivious to these facts. \n\nSome of these students claim false refugee status/claims and other pretend to be students, only to expedite and circumvent the regular PR application process. Our country is great, but quality has deteriorated during current leadership. \n\nAll these students should go back home and then apply for WP or PR from home country, as the guidelines use to be. There should be limitation/cap on number of applications of students/ PR from particular country.\n\nAustralia has banned international students' from Indian states: Punjab, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Gujrat and Jammu and Kashmir over alleged submission of fraudulent documents and high rate of dropouts. Most of these students make up the majority that are seen on streets protesting now. \n\nOur policy target is to import 1.5 million immigrants in 2 years. Based on survey 25 % are Indians that 375,000 additional Indian nationals over 2 years. If cap is not placed, Canada will lose it diversity. We do need Quality over Quantity.

Remember when they made alcohol illegal? And people just started making underground shit? \n\nYeah so drugs are illegal, where the fuck are drugs coming from? I agree with decriminalizing and giving it through cleaner sources, but the other half of the program isnt done right. \n\nIts just too bad that were too busy fighting with each other, blaming each other to actually make a difference

Canadians don't give drug addicts drugs. The government has decided to misuse taxpayers dollars in all sorts of ways, INCLUDING supporting drug addicts on the streets by giving them drugs with taxpayer dollars. We would make many different choices, for sure.

You can be sure someone in government, a system created centuries ago by wealthy parasites to control the people, has told them they do have rights. I worked driving coach with a man from Egypt who was a lawyer, he was told by immigration he could be a lawyer here, our laws are probably very different than Egypts. The other part of the issue is these supposedly smart people take a persons word for it and do no research.

I cant have a knife why u can huh\n\n1 law different for every one F.you

I live in a residential area in midtown Toronto. For some unknown reason, Fleming College decided to open 2 different offices next to houses, an apartment and a condo building. 100% of the students are Indian. What can I say...they have ZERO respect for the neighbour's. They have more breaks than actual class time and when they are outside they yell loudly (while standing beside each other), non-stop hysterical laughing, smoke in front of the 'no smoking' sign at the adjacent convenience store, block the handicapped ramp, block the sidewalk and blast music from their cars. This is from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm, Mon-Sat. Rude, disrespectful and a downright nuisance to a once quiet area.

The lie of the century is that Republicans want to stop illegal immigration. Total BS. Republicans want to keep migrants undocumented to reduce wages for all working people. Their game is to scare migrants so they will work more for less. Smart people know the fix is fast-tracked visas and work-permits with tax ID number. Immigration is economically no different than domestic birth.

Most CANADIANS don't like NON-CANADIANS demanding things. Try a different approach.

After watching this video I can say this person doesn’t even know the difference between study permit and work permit. Please do research before making any video.

We are different in colours outside but all same inside

I may disagree with you Harry, but I like you. I wish you best of luck on your career!. Try to research more on the subjects, and this is just a request.\nWhere I differ:\n1. You cant just blame federal or JT for this issue. Provisional governments are equally responsible as well. They allowed mass international students due to their (provincial) going down economy for various factors. They made false promises to students that students can get PRI in less than a year, otherwise do you think students were willing to go to these cold areas to study without any benefits? You made a promise, now its time to fulfill.\n2. International students funds the college/school by paying fee 3 times more than a Canadian one. There was no check and balance from provincial governments on school/colleges, because they liked the inflow of $$$ within their provinces.\n3. Totally agree with you that fake students should not be getting any merci. But are all the fake students from India, not really. Both the federal and provincial governments were allowing more Indian students because they wanted to have more economic ties with Indian growing economy. \n4. Punjabi (including Sikhs) is one of the best marshal races to serve in army or security agencies. Our Canadian officials never hire personals without a proper security check. \n5. Khalistan's supporters are adapting a peaceful way for their freedom land. As far they are peaceful, we should not have any issue with their struggle. Just like we do not have issues with Quebec separatists. \n6. Remember, majority of Canadians are immigrants from various part of the globe including you as well, weather you are coming from 3rd, 4th or 5th generation. Its easy to spread hate compare to love. I love you and other my fellow Canadians even though I may not be a TRUE Canadian in your books. \n\nYou may be surprised that a Pakistani born (non-Punjabi) Canadian is supporting Indian students. I may dislike India for various and obvious reasons but I want to be on the right side of the history. Love & Peace!!!

I'm from P.E.I and when i was growing up, Charlottetown looked totally different than now.. you could walk around all day and see 0 homeless/druggies and perhaps 6 poc besides natives..

Protesting in another country where you are a student is not allowed and the act itself can get you deported. However, the scams the Canadian colleges and universities do in countries like India and Pakistan is terrible. These students pay almost double the money local kids do. They r most times highly qualified and have availed of an opportunity offered by these institutes. When such things happen, its obvious that they are unhappy. I think the Indian government needs to start issuing advisory. I don't think its worth it, I wish people understood this. The US, Germany/Europe,UK even Australia is much different. Believe it or not, a lot of these students wish to pay back student loans and get out of this scam. Canada is beautiful, but the amount of scams here, prepostrous.

Some one is playing smart putting Indian and bunjabi also Sich like different in immigration data ...anny way can the government do something about the scams we receive with that typical accent .

all colours can live together peacefully / different cultures cant / multiculuralism has been a total failure

hi come to SW Edmonton if you are not from India you will not find a job \nin order to work in SW Edmonton you must be from India if you are a different demographic you will not find a job

It's not the fault of the student's. They pay a lot to get here and they work in the service jobs that many young Canadians do not want to work in if we even have enough native born Canadians. They are victims of the greed of Post Secondary institutions and the mismanagement of the Trudeau government. Take a look at the open immigration policy for people coming from Iran, Syria and Morocco. Last time I looked Iran was not a friend yet we open the door to these countries. No vetting, no security and no age limit. 70 plus years old coming to Canada on Work Permits. This will affect our healthcare. Indian students paid and worked for their chance to live here. Take a look. Investigate the special programs for different countries in the middle east.

Maybe the words need to said differently. When all students have done all your studies. Graduated. You go home like most graduates do. Too work on next step . If do not already have a placement. Immediately after graduation. Not a fast food or a store. In your chosen field!

i new Consivertive would be no different when it come to immigrantion Consivertive are not common sense

Mass immigration isn't going to stop and don't think the conservatives are any different.

Poilievre is no different than Trudope or Jughead. Actually, he wants even more immigration than Trudope. Total fraud.

*At this point, you guys just hate brown people.* I get being against illegal immigration, which I am also against, but petitioning the government is probably one of the most peaceful and legal things you can do to better your lot. I don't see a peep out of you guys about Ukrainian refugees. What, if any, could be the difference?

Pierre's no different than Trudeau1 bird 2 wings Need both the lift off it's all a scam. They're all criminals Send these people back Give our young people the chance at the jobs

The cracks are starting to widen in Canada. Apparently the students had different expectations. Always manage expectations and this would not be a story at all.

I have nothing against different cultures coming to Canada, but lately all I see Indian employees in all stores

This gives me a different picture of Pierre seems like we’re being invaded I did agree about bring in doctors and nurses and special services but this is getting ridiculous\nI seen this coming thirty years ago

Nobody gives a two penny F to Canadian education. It’s sub par anyway. The unsaid deal has been simple - you pay, you stay. I’m not sure if staying in a sinking ship is a good idea but that’s a different story.\n\nI am not saying that the deal is good. But it’s fair, considering the absolute shit quality of these students as well as these colleges. And if this deal is broken, and if these “students” are thrown out, then the revenue and taxes that Canadians get will be thrown out as well. They know that well and that’s why they caved in. And who knows - maybe uncle Tim gave a call.\n\nI used to think Americans get shit immigrants from their stupid lottery system and Canadian point based system should work well for Canada and Canadians. But I don’t know how US is getting CEOs and Canada is getting plumbers who engage in drug running, human trafficking and international terrorism as side hustle.

America: You and I aren't so different

I beg to differ - yes, you can blame the immigrants, as they're the root of the housing affordability crisis both in Canada and in the United States. We seem to have mass immigration simply for the sake of having it. If we really needed cheap labor, we could have guest worker programs, or allow in only people who intend to do menial labor. Instead, everyone gets in, including a lot of criminals who reduce the quality of life, as well as others who are just taking up space and making life a hell of a lot more expensive for the rest of us.

To everyone else with a problem with Islam please stop mistaking Sikhs for Muslims ffs, its embarrassing. They may have way to much patience for the worshippers of the feely prophet but they themselves in the vast majority are very good people. Most people today that have an Issue with Islam know the difference between a Turban and a Taqiyah so people like this are just embarrassing and make those with legitimate concerns about an extremist ideology (Islam) look bad.

Lots of truth in this video. I lived in Canada for 28 years now. I was just in Germany for a 3 month long vacation and what a difference compared to Canada. So much cheaper and better food in Germany and rents are actually affordable with cheap public transport. Weather is also a lot milder and more comfortable in winter and summer. I think Canadians don't fully realize how incredibly inflated the prices for the necessities are here. I now realize that I live in a country that is shamelessly trying to suck their people dry. Canadians are just too subdued and are just letting it happen. Every day you wait will make it that much harder to turn this around.

his words sounds like they know the issue, if actions backed it up, could make a difference.

There is a difference of imigrants coming to Canada and adopting Canadian values. From what I am seeing now as imigrants bringing their old hate. Supplanting Canadian values and laws.

@12:01 Tyler states you do need to be quite particular about choosing where you want to live in the US, going on with examples of locating communities with “like minded people” to yourself.\nThat to me is a bizarre statement, communities that have like minded people , where everyone has the same political, religious and social beliefs will have no opportunity for understanding and learning different perspectives / points of view or new ideas, new ways of doing things, no ability to accept or be okay with differences.\nLiving in a like minded community is essentially coddling and doesn’t allow one to evolve.

you gotta be different kind of psychopath to come into office shouting about “time for change in this country” and then making it completely unlivable for your citizens.

Canada is just a pale copy of the USA. The only difference is that they still worship the British monarchy while the Unitedstatians got rid of it

How is Hindu, Sikh different from India? \nWell you guy Trudeau did this and you guys voted him in.

Turkey has 13 million immigrants!! And those are not carefully chosen educated immigrants, one of them just killed a teacher this week! Hypocrite Europeans are supporting Erdogan since he is accepting immigrants despite knowing that him and his party is turning Turkey into a islamic middle east country. Western world f.cked up the world order and we are now all suffering in different levels

As someone who has lived in Vancouver all my life, I feel that my only chance of survival is to move to a different country. It's really sad.

No Arab country wants to accept Palestinians.\n They threat to their security and regime (remember what did Arafat in Jordan ) .this is a brutal truth but they can’t tell about it and create different reasons.European countries and America pay a price for being accepted them and other arabs from third-world countries who can’t leave peacefully anywhere .

All by design. One way of getting political control is by stripping the population of their national identity and diluting culture, in this case, Western culture. Canada is becoming a shell of its greater former self and you can clearly feel the difference if you’ve been more than five years in this country.

I have to wonder if people realize there's a HUGE difference between immigrants and refugees.

It's sad that people don't take time to educate themselves of the facts of the occupation and the seige and the Nakbar. I wonder if it would make a difference

The rent conversation is no different to other major countries...

Everybody move to Calgary. Feels like i'm living in a different country ?

To all those people saying the Indians took your jobs. You’re full of crap. Tons of work in this country to do. You are just too lazy to look for the right one. As much as I dislike seeing some of them making a bad name for the rest of Indians. The ones I know are very well educated people who come here to work. I’ve never seen a homeless Indian or one walking downtown drugged out of their faces. Every crack head and homeless person I see in any city in this country is straight up white, including the ones in your video. Go figure. Also, what you feel now is what the natives felt when you white folks came over, only difference is that nobody is rapping or killing your kids and separating families. God bless you all.

Imagine a product of colonialism having so much time to give a lecture on multiculturalism and yet not knowing the difference between ethnicity, religion and language.
