I am immigrant Canadian and so thankful for having this opportunity,BUT this does not look like Canada anymore,there are PLACES they look like third world. Diversity and all that nonsense does not serve Canada \nWe should NOT establish each our own country within Canada

So Canada's economy is a future preview of where America's economy is currently heading

Canada is really going done. We need Pierre and we need him now…

Trudeau brought in a million people whom he hopes will eventually vote Liberal. I'm sick of party-driven policies that are destroying Canada

Because life is hard in Canada...poor pay, no jobs, having 3-4 jobs but still cant meet one's basic needs, can't afford housing/can't pay rent, living at food banks in order to get basic food to eat, too many coming to live on welfare.... All of this is cause major mental health issues.

I’m curious if Canada made money on this increase in immigration?

Canadians themselves don’t want to stay in Canada \nWell done Trudeau and Singh

Canada will never recover from Fidel Turdeau's globalist agenda. Done!

What about the third safe country agreement? From what I know, asylum seekers will be sent back to Canada to apply for protection if they sneak over the border from Canada into the US and vice versa.

Typical media hack headline…..the majority of people are not against immigration, it is against the uncontrolled illegal migration of people into the country. There is a difference and the media seems eager to ignore that difference. Nobody seems to want to take control of our borders. Countries like Canada , the UK and even the U.S. will eventually be destroyed if nothing changes.

ITS ABOUT TIME.RISE UP CANADA

Canada should lock them up or send them back but not keep them here. We got enough south Asian people here

Entire canada was immigrant once ....they destroyed indegenious tribe now they building ethical moral

To answer the question with another question, why do you think that adding 10 million immigrants to a country with a relatively small population in just 11 years was going to turn out well? \n\n10 million is roughly one-third of what Canada's population was 11 years ago. It is one-quarter of today's population. How was this not going to cause housing shortages and stress the social/health and education systems, overcrowd schools, and clog roads and public transport? How was it not going to grow homelessness and tent cities?\n\n10 million in 11 years were simply too many people in too short a time period. One has to ask whether this was deliberate or whether the federal government is lacking in powers of reasoning. I suspect both.

Because Canada is sensible.

Free Canada! No more multi culti!! Same for Europe!

Ended our culture killed our housing availability increased homelessness overwhelmed our medical and welfare systems increased crime increased resentment and divisions killed job availability invaded our government policing schools on and on and on you name it its being destroyed Canada is gone and we never voted for this.

Im fifth generation Canadian. This is not the Canada is was born and raised in. More importantly this is not the Canada I want. My family no longer stands on guard for thee....

Canada its self was taking from the original people.after a horrific and horrible jenossid

Liberal Canada ?? Housing is a human right

I came to Canada in 2019 now naturalized citizen by grace of Almighty, all those who want to come here should try coming tomorrow bcoz there are way more opportunities, peace and justice in Canada than what Gul tells in her vlogs..

People have no idea how big the problem is: Nigeria alone has a population in excess of 230 million (and probably a lot higher, since a census has not been done recently). Add the next two or three African countries, and Canada can be turned into a giant, dystopian megacity within a couple of decades.

In my experience, there has always been a feeling in Canada against immigrants. This is generally among the working class. \n\nIn the early 1990s I was doing a lot of work in Canada for a US tech company. I am an American, by the way. One time I was working with a Chinese Canadian engineer, who worked for the client company. We went to the loading dock to check on the equipment from my company, which had just arrived. The native Canadian loading dock workers were openly making racist slurs about the Chinese engineer, right in front of him. He was very careful not to respond. I asked him about it later, and he just waved it off. This was in the Toronto area. I was also warned about Chinese who were involved in organized crime in the city. Then, a few days later I saw it in downtown Toronto. Two Chinese men in a Mercedes had stopped on the road and pulled a woman out of the car and started threatening her. It was a tense situation. \n\nOften it is the government types that welcome the immigrants, for various reasons. Canada does indeed have a demographic problem. \n\nThis is not the 19th and early 20th century in Canada or the US or Europe. Today we have extensive social safety nets. This means taxpayer dollars. In the earlier times the immigrants had to fend for themselves. Even then, there would be feelings against the immigrants. At least in the US it was a time of rapid economic and geographic expansion. Not so anymore.

Canada of early 2000 was a wonderful country. Affordable housing, cost of living was excellent, jobs were available but now this is a crisis. Too much immigration, not enough housing, high interest rates and inflation. Canada is not like USA it cannot withstand such crisis. The politicians have failed the people pandering to their vote banks for votes. Especially Liberals.

The citizens of Canada are right. Canada belongs to the citizens of Canada ??

As a Canadian citizen, I’m interrogated trying to re enter Canada if I travel, told to pay duty, taxes on any purchases.\nThese illegal immigrants walk right on in, get put up in a hotel, given room service meals and a govt cheque in the works.\nWe are punished just for being Canadian citizens

Canada is the New India.

Vote Trudeau out. He’s destroying Canada

Go to Canada not America

Worried, my kids will also have to apply 1000 applications to get a job. Who knows may be more than 1000. Build canada (business, job) before importing more refugee, asylum seekers, and through Express entry, PNP, Pilot program.

that is the reason I sold all my rental units, the stress and losses was going on for years. This system stinks to heaven\nand I'm in British Columbia and never invest another Penny in Canada

Its not why we bringing so many immigrants.....Its why did we bring back Trudeau ????\nNo one is to be blamed except ourselves....we gave this blunder invitation and now we all complain.\n\nIt is said that when poverty strikes LOVE flies out of the window, so when hunger strikes loot, robbery, stealing, arson, fights etc happen. Question\nIs .... Where it will stop. Its all just started n will end in streets...things will get worse than this...Canada is a Titanic that has hit the iceberg..its all matter of time now when it will go down. \n\nAnd biggest suffererers wil be the next generation...?????

Poor Canadians, Canada is lost

Canada itself is an immigrant country.?The Anglo Whites tyere are immigrants too. Anglo British empire occupied Canada from indigenous people.

Toronto is not part of Canada anymore.

Canada should take in just a small number of immigrants who are highly skilled and only if they are specifically needed - when they can’t find a Canadian to fill it. \nThe universities and bs colleges are making hand over fist while people from the third world, are using the studies to get easy access to our country and corporations love the cheap labour.

20yrs back Canada’s point based immigration was great. Where does it go wrong.

In Canada. Take a look a rental market. Who has all the rentals? Who bought all the real estate and don't work and haven't worked in this country ever!

As a Canadian I can honestly say I don't care. Immigration of any kind is not the cause or even a contributor to Canada's woes

You should see the marketing emails i get to immigrate to canada...

*why is anti-immigration sentiment on the rise in Canada and USA? (Fixed the title for you)

Canada is not against legal immigration! It's a lie.Agains't all the criminals, those who come with all their demandings for housing, food,medicine, monthly financial support and they don't want to assimilate.

Canada becoming Kanada, very understandable

If you want immigration to be slowed and controlled to a reasonable number then stop voting for tye Liberals, NDP and yes, the UCP. Vote for the People Party of Canada! The top three parties dont want change.

Because mass migration is a negative for the country and its culture. Public services quality goes down, security decreases, housing gets more expensive for the locals. Btw the same can be said about mass tourism, don't know if Canada also suffers from that. Me being Portuguese and having family also in Spain, both countries are suffering from both problems. Some migration and tourism may be a positive factor, but not massive and uncontrolled ones.\nIt wasn't a choice by citizens of any country, but by the transnational elite and its bureaucrats. That the Guardian and all the media promotes.\nAlso lets not forget that covid policies are responsible in no small part for a big bump in these problems. First with inflation, and then with the accelerated increase by Central Banks on interest rates, creating devaluations and economic problems in developing countries.

Hi Peter thank you, I sometime applied to Canada for tourist visa through an agent but I was denied. But I have learnt better from you

I’m immigrant from Iraq. Came in 2009 and I can say Canada has immigration problem. There’s no way you are getting these students back to India. When I came to Canada I came because I wanted to make it my second home. A country that I’m willing to actually fight for. These guys are here just to make money and send it back to India. They don’t like Canada they don’t like Canadians they don’t care about the country and the land. They are here to milk Canada and it’s effecting Canadians. When a store whole operation is run by Indians do you think a Canadian will get hired?

Canada is the land for everyone. It is not belong tp white, colored and black.

The final scene at the new Canadians rally is nice to see. But what you’re not seeing are the THOUSANDS of people who aren’t success stories. People who bring nothing to the party but still need a place to live. I’m fine with immigration, I think Canada is a better place for being diverse. But you can’t just keep the tap on when the glass is already full. We need to turn off the immigration spigot for a while, catch up to get our services and housing to a level that is workable, then look at turning it back on with a smarter outlook on the numbers to bring in.

We don't want immigrants says the one who once came to this country as an immigrant\nAnd for your knowledge only tribal Canadians were the those to whom Canada belonged\nLater came the Brits and French \nSo don't even think y'all were the ones who are rightful canadians
