I can't help but think that the phrase 'a country of immigrants' is just a sneaky way of saying 'a country of colonialism'. I dont know that much accountability or reconciliation has happened in Canada over the last 300 years. It began with governments and corporations doing whatever they wanted and could do to make money and extract resources off of this land (regardless of whom it affected), and continues to be just that. The increase of immigrants is largely, as far as I know, being used to a) bring in more revenue and economic stimulus (which is more and more ending up in the hands of a few very wealthy families) and b) fuel the labour force of large corporations that would rather soak the profits up themselves, hire low-wage PR or temporary foreign worker labour, than pay Canadian residents properly to work those jobs. I love immigrants, have many 1st gen immigrants friends, and think they do bring a lot to Canada. We all do, as we were all immigrants at some point. At the same time, the immigration system is very complicit in looking at immigration as a resource in aiding those rich families/ corporations in colonialism, and you could argue that this overreliance is abuse of the immigration system. Certainly, we have seen this with colleges. This feels especially true over the last several years with huge jumps in immigration numbers with growing inequality for long term residents. So the result is a very quickly changing world that is not helping many Canadians feel more secure about their future, which is a recipe for unrest. Am I wrong? Genuinely I am looking to have an open discussion here!

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IS ILLEGAL. LIBERALISM & LIBERAL NDP CORRUPTION IS KILLING CANADA.

Indians don’t respect Canada it’s crazy y come here????????

Why? Because immigration is unchecked and unbalanced. If you want a prosperous multicultural society everyone has to be on board with that and it has to be fair for everyone. In the West that balance is not there. If you think for one moment you could go to an Asian or Arabic country and have a 'Canada Town' or a 'Little Britain' you are delusional.\n\nYears ago, my father who was an army officer went to Oman to help train their soldiers. On arrival he was given a list 5 A4 pages long of things he COULD NOT DO in that country. He didn't complain and abided by that. One Westerner broke one of the rules accidentally and literally had to leave the country taking nothing with him. Why is ok to enforce culture one way, but not the other? That's your problem. There's an agenda here.

I am working as a Quality Control Engineer for 5years. I want to go to Canada with PR. But i am confused that what should i apply for, study visa- Quality Control Engineering, work visa- Quality Control field or PR?

Canada for Canadians!??????

USA should just absorb canada. i know alot of canadian citizens (not polititians) would be open to it

As long as NYC is welcoming migrants, Canada is just a good Samaritan?

Canada has a Marxist, Post-National, Sanctuary-loving, China-Mexico-Cuban embracing PM. He will never close the border.

What we need is a great big fence all the way across Canada— you know- it’s a small border- maybe about 500 miles or so? Ya right…..

Your claim that entering Canada is much easier, is totally false.\n\nAlong with your claim that Mexicans do not require visas

I am Canadian I can tell you our government is aware but they don't care and Canada also is full of A Holes and very woke. Canada is a dictatorship its not as great as it once was just like the US

This courtesy of Prime Minister Trudeau’s failed open boarder mass immigration policy in Canada.

What ?! Roxham road is operating in reverse?!\nSo NY is getting 10% of the migrants it gave to Canada.

BLAME CANADA! Southpark called it!

Don't let all the unskilled and fake document Punjabis slip into the US. They are already ruining the Canada for every other immigrant ethnicities and locals as well, what was once a melting pot for people of all places to live in peace together is now a husk of it's former self, too many cases of fake ielts scores or fake visas being issued

Good.\nThey can all leave Canada.\nWhy would they want to be here?

I've lived in Canada for around 8 yrs, still don't get it, how come a country with 2nd largest land in the world has a housing crisis?? When I just arrived in the country, the cost to own a house was around $400k, now it is about $750k to maybe $900k. I am soooooo regret I didn't get one when it's relatively affordable.

but why not just stay in Canada its better for these guys

Why not, NY is a criminals Paradise. Canada sending them our way.

Canada is an asylum country so by law migrants are supposed to seek asylum at the first country they land in with that status . BTW Mexico is also an asylum country , being it has one of the strongest economies of the world . not owning a tesla does not make you a refugee . It makes you greedy .

In Canada we're told all our migrants are coming across the US boarder....

Good we dont want them either...a drain on society, thats about it... hey lets go to Canada or the us for free stuff and make a mess of everywhere they go... some a re ok but thats bit...honestly...

So, my American fellows, you still think Canada is so nice and easy to live with sock-boy PM and half a year wait for free medical appointment? Illegals flee the country. Illegals from poor third world countries leaving communist Canada. That is a pretty scarry sign

Makes no sense....why dont they just stay in Canada? ?‍♂️?‍♂️

Canada accepting many bogus international students who come to Canada to get the residency card. if that's possible, they claimed refugee status. This is thanks to our genious PM, Justin Trudeau!

How did they even come in from Canada?!

Thanks for the information... I think its time to take some land from Canada

Thank god, we need to unload those millions of immigrates Trudeau has brought in. BTW, Ottawa isn't one of Canada's largest cities and we're not any colder in Toronto than NY.

Fabulous, Canada don't want them because Biden decided to open our borders they're getting hit too. Sad because they're really good neighbors!

THE INDIANS PEOPLE WILL OVERTHROW CANADA ?? IN THE FUTURE... ENOUGH INDIANS...

They actually need a visitors visa to get into Canada, just like the US. Maybe just check your facts before posting?

They're coming through Canada, now they're frost backs.

Yes we need an even higher wall on the Canaduan Border, and make Canada pay for it. The Canadians are always abusingbour border, to avoid Canadian government stupidity. And they are extreme radical monarchist too.

Canada is one of the most corrupt countries now beware. First they drain corrupt Canada then they drain US, smart. We call them government immi dumps, all the cities in Canada are now immi dumps on never enough doctors healthcare is overloaded normalized. RIP Canada.

The United States could security northern border just like they did during Operation Red when the US and Canada almost went to war in the 1930s

Tell treadeu to change his Visa program back to the way it was!!! Make sure anyone coming to Canada has a Visa, or stop any money going to Canada and tell them we won't defend them in case of a war!!!

So Canada’s border is just as bad a Mexico’s. What a surprise

Wow now there being sent down from Canada wth!

my indian landlord in canadq said he hates his fellow indians because their too much already in canada and is now ruining the country

W T F !! This is insaneeeee .. we need to make Canada & Mexican governments step up on THEIR side of border ..

100% of them are from America to Canada, and then don't like it here and then they run back to the US ?????? \nCanada is a snow desert.... no people, no culture, no love, nothing here other than just bear and moose\nAlso the Canadian law will let you homeless or freeze todeath before they give you any kind of paper...

And everyone’s saying Canada is better than America …

Cash, you and NYC should hope that 300,000 ~ no, 3,000,000 million ILLEGALS come to NYC from Canada. Perhaps those numbers would make the politicians stop ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.\nThough I really doubt it. Let's all VOTE 2024 Kamala to keep this going !! Destroy the USA ~!!!

Time to sue Canada

Canada has cancelled all issued ETA's to Mexican nationals. Citizens of Mexico are now required to have a valid visa obtained through Canadian consular missions in Mexico prior to boarding a Canada bound flight.

I wanted Canada to put Canada First but not like this.

How are they flying to Canada without a visa??

It's not even just in Brampton even 1 to 2 hours away immigrant and international students take all customer service jobs to the point that Canadians can barely get hired into these roles because we have expectations and rights that we worked for and I've seen these immigrants willing to work for less than legal minimum wage and they do not stand up for themselves or work towards having any shared rights. In addition many politicians on both sides of the aisle are rental landlords so only stand to profit from low rental vacancies and cramming as many people into a small space as possible. They've also cut funding to a lot of post-secondary institutions who rely on inflating tuition cost for international students. At my current role on a team of 15 people plus one manager there are only three white people, born and raised Canadians. The rest are all Indians including the manager and will frequently talk amongst themselves loudly in Punjabi while we're trying to serve customers in the English language. That's actually against policy but Canadians are so outnumbered by immigrants and specifically Indians in this place that it never gets enforced properly. I've never been anti-immigration but it's gotten so bad in Canada especially in places like Ontario that I'm now against it and will tell anyone regardless of their skin color to avoid immigrating here. I've been on a wait list for a doctor for over 11 years, I know people who have died from cancer due to delayed referrals due to long wait list for additional screening, it's insane and absolutely ridiculous especially considering the amount of taxes I currently pay and have paid my entire life as a born and raised Canadian.\n\nAlso it's absolutely true every single one is either taking or has taken post-secondary studies in business admin or management. We don't need more people in these fields we need Healthcare sector workers and not a single one that I've spoken with which again is quite a few studied anything related to medicine Healthcare nursing... not one.

In most of history, a country would consider this an act of war. Another country can’t just allow a massive flood of foreign entities into another nations borders and not have it be considered an act of aggression. The USA should annex Canada. Clearly, they are not capable of running their own nation and protecting their own borders.\n\nIf the US were to annex Canada controlling the borders would be easy in the north if you just shut down the ports and airports. There are no countries in north of it to enter from on land. No need to build a ridiculously huge expensive wall like some people are trying to say in the comments.
