I would like to highlight the significant economic impact of immigration and international students on Canada's economy. International students contribute substantially to Canada's GDP, with recent estimates showing a contribution of $30.9 billion in 2022, representing 1.2% of the country's total GDP212. This contribution comes from their spending on tuition, accommodation, and other expenses. I remember at 2021 The goverment made a huge compain to have a new immigration acroos the world They did not consider the consequence of high number in immigrate expecially indian nation For instance Social and culturel change, facing adaption problem and bring some conflict political ideas from their back home to Canada .The government must balance all natiotion to have diversty community. They did not do good job. Dont blame indian please, they are not in good position also.

They’re not going to deport those people- Republicans just use that as a talking point for elections to gin up their racist base. News flash: the shadow, black market, undocumented labor force is integral to the American economy. Without that cheap labor the cost of everything would increase exponentially…

Lets go beyond the immigration status of these workers. That has been talked about endlessly. The US economy would take a hit if this deportation plan goes through. These workers are critical in many sectors: construction, agriculture, service, tourism etc etc. When people call for deportng workers on this scale, it really is a case of careful what you wish for

I guess our economy will be built upon deporting people, but you can't sell that to other countries so doesn't enrich the country just some individuals.

We can’t and won’t take anymore crippling the economy with cheap labour, rising costs of living, the list is breaking the middle class into poverty \nWe will close our business and relocate to the USA if this government continues much longer putting more people out of work just so we can make a middle class income

These people are selfish and only care about their situations. Its not say that you shouldn't take care of yourself first, but if you already have everything to survive, why the hell wouldn't you want others to be happy like you? They let a guy who committed fraud in charge of our economy ?‍♀️

American has spoken \nWe want great economy \nGreat border \nGreat education \nGreat job \nGreat interest \nGreat health\nGreat gas prices \nDemocrats still don’t get it using the race card ????

No. Trudeau made it our problem without asking. Destroyed a thriving economy. We can't handle a mass migration at all. Incompetence never seen before. Historic.

Oh, here come all the WARNINGS ? just like in 2016 when they WARNED us the economy was going to crash and we’d be in WW3. In actuality, w head a booming economy and no wars. So this deportation plan will be great for the country. Trump isn’t even in office yet and stocks and 401ks are way up! And Hamas wants the war to end. Russia wants a reset with America. The next 4 years will be amazing! You’re welcome, democrats.

Umm, do folks understand how much the illegal immigrants support our economy? Gringos won't fill those agricultural and service jobs.

I love seeing this, because they voted for him and this is going to TANK the country and our economy! Hurt businesses, and tear families apart! But they asked for it!

The plan is particularly cruel and it looks to be extremely racist in nature. It looks as though it is going to cost $10K per person to deport them so why not offer people $10K per head if they will leave voluntarily? However, can the USA afford to lose all these people? There will be massive job vacancies that cannot be filled, so many businesses will have to close down, causing hardship to the business owners. Perhaps the first step should be to find out why these people are considered to be such a drain on America's economy. It seems to me that they make a massive contribution. That being the case, why not make some criteria which, if met, will allow people to legalise their presence in America?\n\nAnything must be better than mass incarcerations and deportation which looks an awful lot like Nazi Germany.

IDIOT KHALISTANIS FUNDED BY CHINA N PAKISTANI SCREWED UP EVERYTHING IN CANADA. CANADA IS TO CRASH N ECONOMY DOWN. IDIOT TRUDEAU N HIS PARTY DOOMED VEAUTIFUL CANADA.

Enjoy the mass deportations and his tariffs that will cripple the economy. But yeah, blame illegal immigrants.

How do people not understand that illegal Immigration is good for America. We need more immigrants. More people just means a bigger economy.

(FOR THE RECORD--I WNAT TO SEE A FEMALE PRESIDENT IN OFFICE. I JUST DO NOT WANT TO SEE T H A T FEMALE IN OFFICE. I TRULY BELIEVE A FEMALE CAN DO ONE HELL OF A JOB) I just do NOT think Kamala had America in her own best interest whatsoever. God Bless Trump, he's the only candidate that truly has a plan to turn this country around from what Deliriatic Sleepy Joe did to all of us and our economy. It's amazing to me that these Democratic voters truly believe that Kamala Harris was the appropriate Democratic choice or even ANY choice at that, to turn this country around. She had no plan. She 100% winged this entire election, she took two days off when she only had a few months, she ducked and doged any and every major interview or debate besides Bret Bauer's, and even then she couldn't answer direct questions, her administration cut it short because they could tell she was crashing and burning during the interview, she had NO solid gameplan, she JUST wanted to be teh first female president and that's IT. Have any of them not been to the store or compared ANY prices to ANYTHING prior to the Biden Administration. They are all so Delirious. THEY RUINED THIS COUNTRY AND DID AN AWFUL JOB. I KNOW you democrats are struggling too. And it's sad that you'll sell your dignity just to NOT see Trump get into office KNOWING this country is worse than it's ever been in decades. This is shameful on all of you.

The only solution for this issue to help the economy in those country where the refugees coming from to create more job for them in their country and to make better life for them .

I can see services and consumer products going up and of course you will have another liar in the WH press secretary room blaming the Biden administration for it. Same old story. It will probably be a story similar to the border wall, Mexico will pay for it. Where's the wall and when did Mexico pay for the part that was built? Ah, let's not mention that all those privately owned jails and detention centers (many owned by wealthy reps) will be ripping off the federal government/you the taxpayer. They will overcharge for lodging, food, blankets, you name it.  \nRemember, you might want deport all the illegal immigrants, but there are international laws as well. The countries that you might want to deport those immigrants might say, no. we don't want them. So, then, they become the responsibility of the US Government. Those people will be in limbo, meanwhile, we the taxpayers will paying for housing, feeding, clothing, them and their health care. \n\nOh, we haven't talked about climate change.... migration to the northern wealthier countries won't stop due to climate change. It won't stop here or in Europe. But, no many people are talking about it or preparing for it. \n\nNow the Reps have control of the executive branch, the congress (both chambers), and the Supreme Court is in his pocket. So, there will be no one to blame but themselves if they don't fix what they say they will fix: Immigration, ACA, the Economy, and more.

Remember trump first term control of both house's only 35 miles of wall a great economy that he trashed and the mishandling of pandemic all the dead people in freezer trucks I hope it's not a reapet

last time Trump was in the office and as a way to thank Jesus, Trump did make it so 1M died by defunding healthcare and say covid was just a myth and later sade it was just a mild flu. Then loved America so great he started tradewars with everyone and crashed the economy. But who cares if one can just hand over the problem on the next president and blame the inflation on Biden that had not even moved in to the white house yet. While why not blame leaving afganistan on him also even though Trump did sign the order. one can think adults stands for what they do, but one can also vote to not fix the border problems as Trump and the Republicans have done. This even when it is their own legislators that writes the proposed fix to the problems.

Mexico #1 form of legal GDP is the money that legal and illegal immigrants send back to Mexico that money never returns to the USA economy. They also affect supply and demand. So things cost more because there is a higer demand with less supplies and thats simply based on population. I voted Blue , but things like this is why Democrats lose the election. They need to be honest about the long term affects of illegal immigration. And to bring up the cost as if we aren't sending hundreds of billions of aid and resources to other countries that frankly we shouldn't be doing at the rate that we are anymore because the world has benn mooching from Americans and their citizens good will and charity for too long. So this can be paid for without adding any debt. Trump is an idiot but he and Republicans are right on these issues. Democrats seen to treat this issue with kid gloves. The center Democrats like Obama have to return. He deported more immigrants than any president in history, quietly. He didn't start a war or send troops but he dropped more bombs than you can imagine...Quietly. Democrats should have learned a valuable lesson. The world isn't just rainbows and flowers so we cant treat every issue that way

Trumps destroying America's economy by doing this plus destroying people's life's America voted for a criminal this should never been allowed

Everyone conveniently sidesteps the fact they pay billions intotaxes of several types not to mention social security the fed govt gets to keep THIS IS GOING TO HAVE A HUGE EFFECT ON ECONOMY

You know what CNN, sit the next 2 years out. Let Trump do whatever, make no comment about it and whatever happens to the economy, our jobs, inflation, housing etc. So be it. Then after it all unfolds, you can do focus groups for all the people who voted for Trump saying how do feel about your vote NOW!!!

This horrible. So cruel. Deporting immigrants will crash our economy

The markets, DOW, and Bitcoin are already going up because of Trump's reelection! Buy now! Trump is already improving the economy! ?

So basically, lets bankrupt the country to deport 11 million people while at the same time crashing the economy, especially the food and construction segments. Higher food and housing prices ahead. ??❤\nWeren't they just complaining about funding for immigrants?

How about the HUGE devastation it would have on our economy!

To all the Latino small businessman in their community just know you reap what you sow You're talking about the economy is not working for you ? now you just voted to disrupt and have your own business file for bankruptcy or closure. Because all the people that supported you in your community that wasn't legal is now going to be moving to safer place or be deported and your business is going to crash like a runaway car.

Okay at this point the Canada should just join the USA as new states. Unfortunately won't happen because of to many factors on both sides prevent this unless canada government literally bankrupts and destorys Canada economy that it can not even function.

Legal immigrants from india china Japan phinllipens are the backbone of american economy. The whole country comprises of woke liberals in mass number therefore it is dependent on its right wing and immigrants.

So, for decades they probably paid taxes, contributed to the economy, and stayed out of trouble, but instead of vying for a way to get their citizenship or even protect their descendants that were born here, so that they don't lose their parents... she's drunk the koolaid and has completely turned her back on their struggles. \n\nSome probably came to literally save their own lives or their children's lives. So, how could she be so willing to just support a man who thinks about her the same way as her family she'd let be deported?\n\nWhen your life is in danger, you're poor and living in a corrupt government that let's such bad things happen, you do what you have to for survival. \n\nYes, they need to work on becoming citizens, but to take all they know and built and toss them out with nothing and make them start all over again from zero is horrible for anyone, from any place..especially if they are elders now. Imo

Some people say that immigration has helped the economy grow, but do they have any evidence?\nGermany has continued to accept immigrants but has hardly grown its economy.\nAnd the best ones go to the US, and all the losers come to Canada, don't they?

Send back all migrants, Temporary Foreign Workers, Refugees we dont need them they surpress the economy, especially in jobs , housing and orices if food the milk everything and the it's a government vote grab.

This is good step. How Country will grow , if everyone will be a Uber driver ? . Skilled People can help economy.

better shift to peoples republic of china it has world class infrastructure system great economy country is not racist or nor there are crimes they dont follow any religion a perfect country for anyone

Immigrants fund the Canadian economy and help fund the pensions of retired elderly Canadians

This ladies family who have been in the U.S. for years are not free loaders. They work .They pay taxes. Mass deportation will affect the economy in a negative way. Mass deportation would cost the U.S. billions and would probably be almost impossible to implement.

This protest is a joke! They know what they signed up for before coming to Canada. So,  they should work within the rules and find a way to legally settle (if they can) or leave. \n\n\nHowever, Canadians deserve to know more about this mess which is an outcome of aggressive marketing by Private colleges and the government's greed to get quick cash into the Canadian economy. Here are some clarifications to note:\n\n\n1. In the last six years, 1.5 million international students brought a minimum of $67,500,000,000 direct cash into the Canadian economy. (Assuming a min $40-45000 per student for 2 year diploma, between to $100,000 - 150,000 for undergrad, and around $50,000 for Masters degrees). Usually, international students have to pay most of this money before applying for the study visa. \n\n\n2. These colleges employ Canadians for their day to day operations. From cleaning, maintainance, administration to teaching, each college operates with approx 20-30million budget. So, more students lead to more employment for Canadians who further pay taxes.\n\n\n3. All students start work straightaway, pay taxes, and do not qualify for social security. They do not qualify for any student loans by Canadian govt or banks. So, they generate revenue for Canada through their work and taxes. The thing that govt LOVES.\n\n\n4. These students become new consumers and their expenditure generate revenues for local businesses.\n\n\n5. Most Colleges would not survive without international students. Which is good in the sense that only quality colleges will survive and other hanky panky colleges would shut down. However, such closures will lead to job losses, bankruptcy when the colleges won't be able to afford their expenses.\n\n\nSo, considering these factors it will be an industry collapse. Govt needs to control immigration. They need to introduce intelligent policies. The steps that current govt is currently taking are politically motivated not rational.

We should be letting in as many as we can as they contribute greatly to our economy and prosperity.

Let's talk about Canadian colleges and immigration have been milking and exploiting international students. These students bring a hell lot of money to the Canadian economy and yet they are treated as third class citizens.\nTry shutting down international students and see how the economy goes into a down spiral

India is 5TH largest economy but why its people are running away from India?

come to the middle east there is a future for everyone. i don't know what is wrong with the western people. what do you want from life?you have got everything in Canada. as a person who is living in the middle east and struggling with poverty, corruption and war, i wish i could live in Canada just for one day. but i come here and see a woman calming that Canada has got no future. so you can go to the Mars. If you do not see a future for yourself in a western country that has democracy, freedom, a normal economy, a place to sleep and enough food to survive you , i hope you can find a better place in the other plant

Why Indians want to migrate to other countries to get insulted, degraded ... in the long run this will affect your mental health as you realize that the wider society hates you. Stay in India, be with relatives, attend family functions such marriages, etc and have lot of laughter and fun... and do work and study hard in India, which is now the fastest growing economy in the world.

I support her sentiment. We Indians have created mess in Canada. (Speaking french doesn't make any difference) Indian mentality is the problem, Indians want to bring their way of life in Canada, shouting on the road, doing celebration in the public like they come from mental institutions. She is feeling right ! No Indians Tolerate even few foreigners we have in India. In my town there are only few whites and people tell them 'Go back to America'. Hypocrisy of Indians is highest when it comes to taking away their economy and still speak bad about West.

Immigration are the backbone of economy coz they they rent house the owner of the house is Canadian the shop owner has more customer and so on its creats demands in economy and why don’t u make more homes when u hav more land and resource than population in Canada

Locacitas everywhere, both sides of la frontera...\nAlso once you've been officially deported you can never apply for visa, let alone a green card , again. \nGreat to hear this for all thos latinos working their a.. off for decades to keep this country great and to put great trust in the obscure but yet so visible paralel economy of the nation. \nTheir, often underpaid, unoffocial jobs support thecrest of the economy. Childminders, carmechanics, masons, cleaners, fastfoodstaff, you name it, they do it. No American are gonna replace them.

no immigration growth to support the economy no pension for the racists

It was an intelligent question and it might be answered by the way we will witness the birth of a new axis, Sunni and Shia coexiting as jews and orthodox do, with a strong economy, ties with the BRICS countries to the detriment of the US and their NATO allies. India will be the next Palestine.

It's a mute anyway. A recent study found that it would cost billions to effect trumps deportation plan. Currently American hope 40000 detainees and each deportation costs a ridiculous amount of money for the logistics alone.....it won't happen. All done of this before the impact of losing cheap labour, on businesses and the economy
