Just go. You have no rights here. Close the border for good. Weed out the bad. Send temporary workers and non citizens back and start over and only bring in skilled and educated people for the positions we need filled. Tim Hortons and McDonalds don't count.

Before taking people in, you need both infrastructure and proper plan on what to deal with theses sudden increase of population. Not only for the immigrants but also the current citizens in the country.

Anyone who has ever sneezed Islamic State's or Al Quaeda's way should immediately be deported, or if citizens thrown in jail.

No ones honkin cause nobody cares ,more important things to deal with especially for Canadian Citizens

A Canadian citizen is a Canadian citizen, end of story

I am an immigrant essentially - finally got my PR after 3 years in 2012 (on a skilled worker application - IT Systems Manager), 10k in lawyers fees - I took exams to prove I can write read and speak English - I maintained a decent level of fitness to pass my medical (cost more money in gym memberships) (I was born and bred in the UK and privately educated there) I bought a house before I was a PR - I had to jump through hoops and I played by the rules to get my PR (I am now a citizen) - I do not understand how these people think that they can just demand what I had to work so very hard to achieve...?

Who cares these clowns have been using this unsustainable business model for years and have enriched themselves while creating chaos for regular citizen's.

To set an absolute example.Get started on these particular people immedietly. Pack up n GO! We owe you nothing. Now git, your welcome to re-apply when your HOME! FOLLOW THE RULES! Don't falsify your intent or exploit our system. Learn from your mistakes. Learn English or French it's our language. Speak it in public. Your entitled behavior is pissing us off. P.s. Stop defacating on our beaches. Stop leaving soda bottles of urine everywhere.The only misunderstanding is some immigrant people thinking they have a say. You are not a Canadian. Your some entitled, ignorant people trying to garner support for your plight to manipulate our system with your sneaky exploiting behaviors. It's not what we're looking for thank you! Bob tell em what he's won! Sure! You'll fly non-stop in coach to your destination where you'll live a life of regrets in the desert sun for screwing up your 1 in a million chance of becoming a citizen. Where you'll remember the privilege of not knowing how to drive yet on your own roads paid for by you.

I am an Indian. These people are students from Punjab who are making India ashamed in front of the world. Come back gracefully and let the other Indians be there with grace who are Citizens.

The issue of fake students coming to Canada from India or other countries under the guise of education, only to work and take advantage of cheap labour opportunities, is a concern for some citizens. This influx of cheap labour may contribute to lower wages and fewer permanent jobs for Canadian citizens, particularly in industries where foreign workers are employed at a lower cost. Canada must maintain integrity in its immigration and labour policies, ensuring that students come for genuine educational purposes and that the job market remains fair for Canadians. This is a wake-up call to re-evaluate our systems and ensure they are not being exploited.

What is a third world country? ?️\nCan you pls elaborate. Do you mean that humans living in so called “third world country” are sub humans and aren’t at par with “white” population? Just asking. You might wanna google about this term “third world” and how it was coined, while today you only use it to look down upon, mostly Asian countries.\n\nThere is nothing wrong with being racist but atleast have balls to admit that you are racist, that’s all. That will give clarity to hundreds and thousands of LEGAL, TAX PAYING , NON WHITE immigrants to not be citizens of Canada and not to be patriotic because it will never give them the same respect and honour. Unfortunately, all these LEGAL TAX PAYING NON WHITE people will never be able to truly love Canada ?? because of YOU? because you never gave respect to their home/birth countries.

Maybe the immigration rules should be rewritten. Visitor visas or student visas doesn't mean you are a citizen.

The liberal party will give him candian citizens ship

89.9% Canadians against Immigration and specially fake students from India even some Indian/ Canadian Citizens living in Canada for years.

do u know what the meaning of temporary and students only ..??its mean u have no guarantee that u become a permanent resident o canadian citizen...

Many western countries citizens have become victims of government controlling technology. As a person born in the west I have been fortunate to live in the right place at the right time and always ready to move when I sensed it time to go . I have travelled the world. I now live a blessed life in Vietnam , for me the right place at the right time. I am a free spirit and love freedom . I wish you well with happy travels??

Liberal government needs to fix the problem it created with immigration. Canadians do not want their taxes going to support unlegitimate refugees or students who feel that they should automatically become Canadian citizens after finishing their Mickey Mouse courses. There are enough Canadian citizens qualified and well-educated to fill in Canadian jobs. Canadian citizens have been negatively impacted by the Liberals decisions on immigration.

The politicians from Canada and India don't care if everyone lives in poverty. And getting Canadian citizenship will not solve all your families' problems. Once Canada goes broke there will be no welfare, EI, pensions, free housing, or healthcare so you're better off staying in India where at least you know the language, laws, religion and culture. Also Canada doesn't need anyone murder cases like Hardeep Singh Nijjar!\nThe next Canadian federal election is on October 20, 2025. The politicians would bring in another 5 million foreigners from India, Pakistan, Nigeria, China etc, if they could. But Canada doesn't have enough affordable housing for people born in Canada let alone from other countries. The Canadian politicians want voter banks, corporations want cheap foreign labour, and the WEF want Agenda 2030. The Prime Minister of Canada and India are to blame for this mess. Both Prime Ministers are not doing what's right to take care of their citizens. No point coming to Canada or other any Western countries when you can't speak and read in English, either.\nBy the way, you're better off training to be a plumber, a mechanic, a nurse etc than getting a liberal arts degree. If you're an international student and you can't afford to rent for example in Vancouver and Toronto than don't come here. It's no secret some international students turn to prostitution, sell drugs and go to food banks in order to survive. Don't come to Canada assuming study permits automatically means you will get Canadian citizenship.

That is why Canadians who had been paying their taxes and are law abiding citizens become homeless coz they lost their jobs coz their jobs are given to foreign students and can't be able to afford to pay their rents and mortgages anymore. \nAnd it's very heart breaking.

Indians never accept foreigners coming , while need other countries to give citizenship, bjp calls Sonia Rahul are Italian even they are Indian citizens

Cut all government funding to universities and give the money directly to Canadian citizens who attend university. That way the international and local students can be on the same footing with no question that Canadian taxpayers are subsidizing foreign students while their own children cannot get admission. (The influx of foreign students is driving competitive admission grades to absurd levels, leaving Canadian students with relatively good marks, marks that were considered outstanding 30 years ago, unable to get into universities in their communities.)\n\nThe reality we have here is that Canadian taxpayers still shoulder the majority of education costs in Canada, but those same taxpayers' children are being denied education opportunities in their own communities because of foreign students. This has to stop, even if we have to fire every university administrator there is to get it done.

They are not respecting the rules and regulations of this country now , how could they be loyal citizens of this country later??

I am so happy for Pakistanis and the laurels they bring to their beloved Pakistan. Remember all Western societies no muslim in true sense if he is a true follower of Islam will ever leave a chance to harm other communities,they all have a hidden agenda to convert non believers either by hook or crook. They despise diversity see for yourself the relationship between countries in middle eastern countries and the horrific crimes committed by the citizens and the wars continuing in African countries where Islam is a majority religion.\nThis religion was set up by the sword guided by tribal laws of 6th century and most of its followers intend to take back world to those times.\nSo a religious group formed as a result of fear of swords can never be a religion of peace period. They will always be on the look out to strike when an opportunity presents before him or her .???

David Menzies is the best! One of the most prolific journalists in Canada. Real journalism at its finest. Thank you sir! On another note it is sad how the Trudeau government has betrayed and abandoned Canadians. Governments' priorities are first and foremost to their citizens but in Trudeau's Canada, it is citizens last! This is not an issue of racism. Canadians want immigration based on ethics and integrity and not on fraudulent or unscrupulous means.

international students come to Canada to work not to study, they know that they are spending these much money to gain work status in Canada and not to study! that's their fault!\nGovernment should funds education/school in our country for our children the future citizens of this country and not illegals status that comes in to Canada and should NOT send money abroad, like what Trudeau is doing his funding billions of Canadian tax payer money in other country!

I thought the whole concept of Canadian immigration is to seek new settlements in other provinces that are lacking population. I wonder if the government are doing that to put immigrants in those provinces and to build a strong Canadian society, with a strong-hold economically throughout the country. But that includes having the immigrants agreeing to setup bases in rural areas that needs a build-up. It's literally a settlers 2.0. But I see that as an escape from another place that has nothing. No is pressured to doing anything, it's just being transparent in what will happen. And in another way, the citizens of Canada will see it as giving into the country.

it's because what was once referred to as an international student is now a Permanent Canadian Citizen... The numbers don't add up lol trust me we got exactly the same if not MORE now..

Nothing is going to happen.... next year federal elections coming..they wanna listen to citizens ..where the vote counts...they dont care about international students nor foreign workers..sorry

This is what happens when politicians stop working for the citizens.

Hi sir I m Canadian our land is beautiful clean this people come here n make our land dirty, scam thief Stirling n they don't have right to protest they r not Canadian citizen depot n arrested deport thank you sir.?????????????

hahahaha they pay lots of taxes to the Canadian government. He would FAINT if he knew some Candians citizens pay more than 50% of their income in taxes,

Canada should stop giving visas for Indian citizens who want to come to Canada because they destroy Canada

Trudeau racist idea’s and For a Poor Nation and poor manner’s India is buying up everything from all their scam call centres and not a single Government spy agency has been looking into the Money from India ! 90% of population is living in a shack now look at all Canadian Citizens who’s funding this Corrupt Federal Government ! Maybe you should teach India’s manners and their ignorant treatment of the India young women and ladies ! I don’t care what nation you’re from stop bringing your political agenda to another nation and demand everything for free !!

Developed countries of west are facing problems like low marriage rate , high divorce , low fertility rate , depression, loneliness leading to number of pet dogs equaling number of humans because they can’t tolerate living with spouse or other human beings … developed countries create 5 times more carbon emission per citizen and create twice of thrice the amount of waste compared to developing counties like India.. India grows its good 80% while Canada gets most food imported from USA Mexico and South America, buying lost of diesel for transport of these food. India won’t be able to have any land left if everyone become rich and builds biggest individual houses instead of affordable small apartments that are multi story building using less land.

My City Niagara falls is infested with Indians its about two years now, and more are coming they all work at Tim Hortons down my street, have no manners or respect, I and my friends are sick and fed up, they are everywhere our stupid government should really do something. It's become India! A very concerned Citizen ?

Wait until public upheaval begins and then start saying everything conservative party has always said. Career shills dont give a F about canada or the citizens

We don't need citizens that are like this, deport.

If we went to india demanding that we want to stay here now as citizens they would send us back on the plane as soon as we got off

Honestly the truth, am from the UK, and I am an Asian British citizen, been few times in Toronto Canada for a family visit. I have noticed some Indians in Canada are boastful and have no manners behaviour, sorry to say, But I am proud to say the indians here in UK are nice, polite, good manners and smart, same our recent prime minister Rishi Sunak, , I don't why its different in the Indians therein Canada? ??

Going back home to invest in your own country , is ok! The Canadian citizens are priority. It's hard though on the immigrants, hope they get jobs in their own country.

The Indian students are here not to study, they just want to stay back here and gain permanent residency permit. We dont need more Uber drivers, These people take jobs from Canadian citizens. NDP LIBERAL Govt. has destroyed this great nation by importing these unskilled workers ( they are not students) ENOUGH IS ENOUGH GO BACK WHERE EVER YOU CAME FROM . We will not allow these people destroy this GREAT NATION.

if you are not canadian citizen or pr holder. you have no right to stay, demand or protest.

Imagine protesting in a country you're not even citizens of ?? Party is over, get the hell out. CANADIANS need to start protesting

It is the weakness of government to implement a sustained immigration policy. 2021 Trudau said bringing more students to canada and incorporate more and moreof them in to the canadian citizens in the future. \nSo thats why lot of students from abroad came to canada expecting their dreams to \ncome true. So in that respect their grievances are also fair.

Get the hell out and come back like normal Canadian citizens like everyone else

Gives me hope that no one was honking!! We've had enough wear full go home kindly! \n\nMaby don't be so rude and disrespectful the citizens and government by making demands in a country you're not even a citizen in!!

Responsibilities of a Canadian citizen. The first one:\nOBEYING THE LAW.

I am an Indian, I never ashamed of my fellow citizens, but now I regret a lot by them, sorry Canada

Trudeau really fuxxxcked the young Canadian citizens starter job opportunities by flooding all fast food,corner stores,gas stations with pakis

Legal and if arrested needs to be -deported, why not duel citizenship so rather then revoke citizenship, they can be sent back to their country if committing crime, For those entering and becoming citizens and need help there is plenty. Housing is an issue, Trudeau plans on 500 000 more immigrates, due to Unemployment being at 7 percent, Foreign Workers are less needed esp winter as most used are farmers, fishers, seasonal, The Health Care programs and refer a relatives or apply from a different country as a Health Care Worker are the current programs, Nurses, Doctors, Home Care workers, Nursing Home etc hosing will be what governmental lands bought and preference for 1st time owner including immigrants, no down payment, ability to enter USA legally later.
