Immigrants want to move here because it is very easy to get PR and then passport otherwise Immigrants would move to Australia or US. Most of the Immigrants who come here are for East Asia and Africa and they can't stand cold but they don't have options to go and settle in US and Australia. So Canada is banana Republic under liberal and they come and get the citizenship and then go and work in US and the ones who are villagers and not professional stay here because they can't move. Canada passport is not third world passport and eventhough I moved from third world country don't like to stay here and looking my options.

These issues are prevalent in the EU, US and Canada. All these countries are experiencing inflation, homelessness and related problems with health care access. If you think Poilievre can wave a magic wand and solve lack of affordable housing and inflation you are not very bright.

Canada has been like these for long time, not perfect, but not many places on this planet better than Canada…. \n\nYou have more qualities than most of celebrities, hope you good luck in your next endeavour…..

Great decision! I totally understand you. Canada is dead.

Stop taking people to move in to Canada. Pass a law. Plain and simple. It not that hard to pass a law.

Hi Alina, Canada will always welcome you back as your safety net. But until then, good luck wherever your adventure lead you.\n\nI would also mention that some countries allow dual citizenship while many don't. Canada is one that allows dual.

I moved from the UK to Canada 28 years ago. It was great for 26 years to Mr. Trudeau ruined Canada. I could see it go downhill exactly the same as Britain so I’ve got out apply your government letting too many people in everything is so expensive Now I’m living the dream in Thailand and by the way, Canada is still texting me taxes on taxes

yes go to Canada stay out the USA

The Canadian dollar needs to increase its value and be recognized outside its borders. It can only be used in Canada. No other country will accept it

Wish I could fly 747, I will leave Canada and take that Plane to Pakistan.

I would choose Mexico over Canada any day. Canada has gone full blown bat shit crazy.

luring again in benifits to immigrants same as Canada ...but OFW facing too much taxes !...

Canada thinks they have an “immigrant” problem; but America is worse: we have an “illegal immigrant” problem - especially when the government agencies do not enforce the existing laws against illegal aliens, but go out of their way to aid with taxpayer dollars! A slap in the face of American citizens!

Canada the new india sadly..

Alas,Canada,one has only to look at the UK and Ireland to look at the turmoil created by mass uncontrolled immigration.

I’m an American who spends time in Canada doing cyber engineering work in Alberta.. I’d estimate Edmonton is 70% Indian immigrants. \n90% in the engineering fields.

BECAUSE EMPLOYERS ,EVEN CANADIAN 100% ARE UNPAYING FOREIGH WORKERS OR NEW INMIGRANTS IS SAD , BUT TRUE CANADA SUCKS 100%

The programme presenter says his home country is Canada, well mate your home country is somewhere in Europe. It's definitely not Canada

The Century Initiative demands that Canada reach a population of 100 million by 2100. That’s roughly a new Winnipeg every year for eighty years just to reach a completely arbitrary number with no infrastructure in place to do so. It is possibly the most reckless, irresponsible set of policies ever embraced by a western government.

What they fail to say is that they do not have enough points to gain PR. Literally hundreds of thousands of people immigrate to Canada yearly (as per the program requirements) and that’s because they have enough points to get invited for PR. \n\nGet your points up, be competitive like everybody else.

Hey! I live in Edmonton Alberta Canada,population around 1.2 million. We have a huge awesome river and river valley that is utilized year round. There are non stop festivals, right now we have the Cari West the largest Caribbean festival in western Canada. Our tap water is amazing, my daughter rents the main floor of a renovated house that includes a garage for 1,400 a month. Gorgeous south side neighbourhood within walking distance to anything. Lots of imperfections as it is a big city and yes there is crime but it does not define what I do and where I go except possibly late at night. The cold in the winter is tolerable for the most part but that doesn’t stop any one from outdoor activities. Just put your warm clothes on and just get out there. I get fed up with winter when it drags on but all of a sudden we’ve been having record breaking heat this summer so I am looking forward to Autumn. We’re 4 hours from the fabulous Rocky Mountains and the wonderful city of Calgary is about an hour 1/2 from there. Alberta is my province and Edmonton is my home. The rest of Canada varies from one province to another. PS. We’ve travelled to various locations in the U.S. and were always treated well and enjoyed our visits, just sayin!

good. the myth that canada needs immigration has caused chaos in canada. myopic vision by the federal government made no provisions for the overwhelming taxing of our infrastructure unfettered immigration would have.

Problem with Canada is the immigrants are not spreading out beyond Toronto. How many go to Saskatchewan for example?

Im lucky I escaped from Canada to the pacific....the govt is the main reason for departure and the immigrant influx is the other. Being out of the country I see how liberal canada is and how happy I am without it.

Build affordable housing and it won’t be an issue. It is NOT affordable to live in Canada without a minimum income of $100,000.00 per year, per earning person in the home.

hahaha - welcome to Canada, the severe cold and a land of immigrants from Eastern Europe. Most a leaving anyway for Australia and NZ. Canada development has not kept pace. Affordable housing stock can be overcome and more infrastructure built. IF there are new approvals and investments. But, Canada economy has stalled.

Thanks for the explanation. But, can it be stated why applying for visa, i mean the one’s explanation why he/she is going to Canada?

let's show immigrants that Canada does not want them f Trudeau we have to act ourselves

Next year, Canada will live the same crisis as the UK right now.

I’m pretty sure there were already people living on the land now known as Canada! If modern day Canadians feel their country is being stolen, it’s just history repeating itself.

panjabi's are ruining canada and all indians name

The reason canadians are not able to find employment is very obvious. The indians are buying all stores, fast food, gas stations the list goes on. Canadians are now being discriminated in their own country. Im so angry for this incompetent government to allow this to happen to a once beautiful country its not canada anymore, it now owned to india.

Who own canada? Those saying my country are forgeting they themselves are immigerent and not a native.

Too little too late Canada is dead

It’s crazy how most people think that Canada is importing an army of workers !!\nOnly a small percent of the million that come in every year have work visas (in the UK it is 15% and Canada is similar). The large majority are students from developing countries who are looking to immigrate to the first world but don’t have a job, education or any skills. Then it is family reunification and refugees. We are taking in very few highly skilled workers.

And now this YouTuber is teaching millions how to enter America through Canada ???

Trudeau needs to GO. OUR COUNTRY ISN'T THE SAME. ?. IMMIGRATION LAWYERS ARE TO BLAME. CANADA IS A CRIMINAL COUNTRY, FREE FOR ALL. IT'S NOT WHAT YOU KNOW IT'S WHO YOU KNOW. THINGS WILL CHANGE WHEN TRUDEAU IS KICKED OUT OF OFFICE.

Of course immigration is the only cause of this crisis. Because of high immigration Canada's standard of living has dropped from 90% to 70% of the US because of immigration. Only elite workers contribute more than they take and immigrants dilute the benefits of natural resources.

I've seen so many ads about immigration to Canada on Instagram, here in Indonesia.\nA former coworker of mine is saving now to hopefully immigrate to Canada one day. \nThe online ads give us impression that Canada is in serious need of immigrants because of birth rate decline. \nI would love to go to Canada and the western countries one day, but not as an immigrant. I want to be a traveller there.\nI was raised in poverty and brought myself out of it. I cant imagine going back to poverty by being am immigrant in a foreign country. That would be a no for me.

Canada doesn’t owe the rest of the world anything. Don’t move there

I don't understand why people do not put the blame where it belongs - on Trudeau. He is the one that has created this entire crisis by purposely continuing to allow huge numbers of immigrants, half a million to million a year!! People do not see that Trudeau is doing this on purpose to undermine our Canadian culture and country. He wants to destabilize the middle class because he knows that's where the power lies in terms of informed voting. He needs to be removed AS.A.P. before Canada is destroyed completely.

Canada used to be a lovely country. But the public arrogantly decided to reject Christian values. \n\nNow the masses are reaping the consequences of their satanism. All while pretending they are the victim of their own decisions.

The link of unskilled labor please?canada is my dream country

Governments in Canada tax housing construction to the point that 50% of the cost is tax. That's a major reason for the lack of supply. Governments are destroying Canada and calling anyone\nwho complains racists\n Apparently, the same problem exists in the UK. Must be that WEF CoolAid.

Canada doesn't even have enough housing for the amount of immigrants they have let in the last ten years,it's destroying healthcare, education, housing,crime,.

make Canada great again

It is a mix of everything, IMO. Several other countries are also in the same situation (Canada is not the only country facing this). I think the big part is capitalism, which squeezes out everyone and reaches a junction where there is no balance.

You speak the truth brother this is ridiculous I don’t even want to be in Canada anymore.Its not even Canada anymore such a shame

Anti immigrant sentiments rise everywhere not only in Canada.

I had no idea about Canada ? thank you again for letting us know what is going on
