If Canada needs people so bad, why are they now denying access for thousands of Punjabi and other Indian students and immigrants who will work for a living, study and contribute to the economy both in Canada and India??? They should be making it easier for these people to get in, not harder.

In conversations about immigration, Canada always talk about Indians. And Chinese but never about Filipinos when they make up a huge chunk. Why is that? ?

139700 Indians can't be wrong. It says here that the numbers have quadrupled since 2013 including a 5800% increase in Indian students. \nHow about Chinese immigrants? China is the second largest immigrant group into Canada with numbers expected to hit half a million by 2025. \nAnybody see a link between mass immigration and rising house prices? Everybody in Canada does except politicians. \nOf course it is simple economics. A child can figure it out.

What makes so many Indians immigrants to Canada since India isn’t a rich country .? I might offend but I really want to know

The issue with Indian immigrants is that they have brought political disputes to Canada, including the involvement of the Indian government in the targeted killings of Canadian citizens of Indian origin. The Indian government is sending assassins under the guise of students. The Canadian government needs to stop the influx of Indian students and immigrants.

Interesting video, lots of Indians or people of Indian orgin are also leaving Brampton. They also state it's too expensive. 30% as per news of late are moving back to country of orgin. On the idea of adopting culture, did eurpeans adopt culture of Natives, where are the Natives, to which land did they go to? The culture of those who created residential schools what culture of values is that culture? Was it not that Natives of this land forced off the land, forced into schools taken away from the parents? What happened to treaty rights? We were welcomed here. We did not invade. We did not force our culture on to others. True many immigrants have come is this the fault of those who choose to have pets and no babies? is it the fault of governments promoting smaller house holds in which no parents live with the childern to help raise grandchildren due to expences. It was the coroporations that made the split of family here. This is also causing Indians of older generations to leave the parents, to live a free lifestyle. who will rasie the children? and who will help the parents when they are too old? 100 years back Christians had the same culture of Indians. Parents, grandparents and babis lived in the same household helping one another. Less cars, less insurance, spliting the costs, no baby sitting fees, no old age homes. Know even in India adopting the west coroporate culture have old folks homes. The media and TV in bed with coroporations have made people selfish that they will not stay together. Indians are in the same postion as whites. The older gen is left to fend for them selves, in the coming gen who will baby sit the kids, they to will get pets, it will be too expensive for them to have kids.

TOO MANY INDIANS, IS IT A BAD THING?\nWHY NO IMMIGRANTS ARE HOMELESS EVEN THO THEY COME WITH NO MONEY BECAUSE THEY WORK HARD, THEY DON'T SPEND MONEY ON DRUGS. \n\nWHY EMPLOYERS HIRES IMMIGRANTS, THEY WORK HARD , AND NO MONDAY MORNING SICK CALLS EVERY WEEK.\n\nABOUT ADAPTING CALTURE, \nINDIAN BELIEVE IN STICK WITH THERE ROOTS NO MATER WHERE THEY GO.\n(DOES BRITISH ADAPT INDIAN CULTURE WHEN THEY WERE IN INDIA FOR 200 YEARS??)\n\nALSO NEXT TIME TALK TO SOME EDUCATED PEOPLES WITH JOBS IS WELL.\nHOMELESS ARE ALWAYS PISSED OF ON SOMETHING, PEOPLE LIKE TO BLAME OTHERS FOR THEIR PROBLEMS.

Im am from the Philippines and when I came here in Canada. I was expecting a lot of Canadians in the city to my surprised I see a lot of Indians. Also, I dont understand why the incomers dont respect the Canadians by speaking english in any public places, cause if I am on same shoe I would be irritated. I have lots of respect for the Canadians and their culture, incomers should adapt and conform.Hope the immigration make some changes to control this.

Stop immigration from India and focus on qualified educated individuals or families from around the world- not just from one country. This is coming from an Indian.

I bet another reason the government would rather have rentals is they usually pay twice the property taxes that homeowners do. That can amount to tens of thousands a year difference in tax revenue for each and every property on a street. Sad but true.....\nStill I have to agree with the high immigration numbers. It seems I've always had a general idea of what a Canadian looks like but the past years I'm regularly seeing people that look Chinese, Indian, African, Arab.... all kinds of ethnic looks calling themselves Canadian. Of course god bless diversity it is the commandment of god herself here in the U.S. but its something to get used to!

i am from hamilton and we are still very diverse here. yes brampton is quiet loaded with indians. i think what has failed is the requirements for immigration has dropped. i mean we use to have highly educated people come in but now the standards have dropped. so anyone with low standards can come walk in. pubjabi votes for jagmeet or trudeau and they are the group with highest crimes in india the state of punjab and there is a big drug and drinking culture that comes here. the minute our standards grow up with immigration requirements then we will get more educated bunch coming in. when we have greedy power hungry people run the country this is what happens. now people are fed up. the other day i was at freshco and some white guys started to lecture me and he openly admitted he is a racist. i pulled out my camera and started to record. he backed off but he could have done anything. he rude and stupid. i was also quiet upset. people were not like this and were more accepting. i can understand his frustration but he said openly he was racist and called me Fxxxxxxx indian etc... this is out of line. i also gave him a mouth full. i told him i have been here 35 years and his mood changed but its quiet disappointing how people react. its not safe or respectful. not sure where we are headed in canada.

Canada was founded on European immigration and culture. This is no longer. Canada is now majority Asian/East Indian and Middle Eastern culture. Canada has lost its founding culture and values. Canada is now presumed dead to those of us who remember the REAL CANADA! Sooooooooooooo Sad! We gave it away to increase political votes and more tax dollars. Canada lost it's wonderful European heritage. I dearly miss CANADA.

Whether you want Indians or Central Asians, Middle Easterners, their characteristics are not surgical, their characteristics are the same, so be careful, if immigrants want to look for work, give them work, don't give them citizenship rights, then things you don't want will happen, like in Europe and America.

2 things: (1)How are Indians to be blamed for the white people homelessness and alcohol/drug use. (2) Since when did Canada belong to the white man? Never was , never is! This land belongs to the Indigenous people, and immigrants build Canada. Everyone is immigrants here, all white skin , French , Indian etc (excepy the Indigenous people). So spred love and unity in this Diversity known as Canada. There are always a majority of races in every city, and that should not raise any questions of racism and judgemental remarks. Instead, focus on drug use , homelessness, and crimes.\n\nAlso, I notice mention of so many Hindu phobia remarks and racism comments in this video as if Hindus are attacking and causing harm on the country or world by extension. Indians come to Canada and bring with them knowledge, culture, values, ethics, money and things that uplift and adds value to Canada, they dont come free and ask for any handout and live on taxpayers money! FACTS IS FACTS , do the research.

So many sly comments against Indians but when you went to the most dangerous part of Brampton, it was all ethnic white Canadians, who are drug addicts and homeless. So Indians aren't the problem here. Canada brought in too many immigrants and the local ethnic population could not compete with newcomer Indians who can often endure a lot of hardships and find innovative ways to earn money and live decently. Yes there may be 15 in a house in some places but at least they're not doing drugs or roaming homeless. Not immigrants' fault that the govt miscalculated and locals couldn't compete with the newcomers.

There are some valid points in the video. However, I didn't get it when you said there are people here who don't look Canadian and don't feel Canadian. Punjabi Sikhs from India have been part of Canada since the early 1900s, and alot more came in the 1970s.... So the sikhs have been part of Canada for a long time... Now, coming back to immigration point, blame the federal govt. and not the people.... I have alot points on why Indian people live in Brampton but..... I feel like it would easy to explain in a face to face conversation.

Bro your hate for Indians is real \nU know it feel some shame what do u mean by don't feel Canadian like only white Canadian's culture is considered Canadian? Brampton has same houses with wood structures and roof on top same as rest of Canada they work , pay taxes , abide by law , ( every race has criminals) i totally condemn criminal activities done by brown or Indian people they should be put in jail or deported from this heavenly country u can't just come on streets and start your racist rant on people yes immigration has increased recent years but it's still way less than European immigration which happened in 1700's u can't think way if you are a white nationalist which this host is indeed

Right too many indians ....indians hire indians, not other people. I don't like this immigration policy. They are thousands....sad for Canada

Idi Amin, expelled Indian's out of Uganda,when he was alive,hated them with a passion,\nGlad my New government has stopped low level immigrants from coming in,like they were allowed under the previous government

There is a lot of hate towards people of Indian origin in Canada, especially due to social media influence that portrays a stereotype and negative image, however, there are many Indian immigrants too that are leaving Canada for good, because apart from rising expenses, living costs etc, people are done with the hate towards the community as well

its the globalist forces, who are forcing Indians out of India, the thing these dark forces did in Europe to Europeans to force them into Americas is exactly what they are doing to Indians now, you think Indians really want to be in Canada at -30 degrees.\n\ncheck out youtube videos of heartbreak & tears in Punjab when they leave for Canada, its not out of CHOICE. The same force which is giving fentanyl to white people to die off are the same forces which wants Indians in Canada, they created 60% unemployment rate in India, the situation is impossible in India, the leaders are all puppet like trudeau in India. The dark forces are behind all this not Indians or canadians or humans. Indians are forced to study for 20 years for a worthless degree and can you imagine with no job and future in India? Indians are going to UAE, Middle East more than Canada as well. Indians have no choice but to immigrate, do you really think Indians love to work in grocery stores in Canada, thats what they all dreamed about when growing up?

I agree that Canada is doing mindless immigration....but its not just Indians...you are only referring to one city...there are some parts of Canada dominated by chinese...some parts dominated by other asian countries..some parts dominated by arabs/islamic countries.. ....so don't try to create harted against one race...even Indians who are immigrating now are surprised after landing in Canada....many are going back..Canada has detoriated in last 10 years...blame the Trudeau government for their shitty policies....and NDP leaders and other politicians are bringing the so called third world problems into Canada and working with an agenda instead of working for Canadians....blame those....welcoming international students is scam by Canada...many are falling prey to this scam and spoiling their life

This video has racial discrimination intonation. Aren't these Indians Canadian citizens? So they are Canadian. Why the video segregate white Canadian from indian Canadian? I am not sure why people especially professional or highly skilled people would subject themselves to being treated as second class citizen and targeted racially. Why immigrate?

Indian population is massive - So be careful letting them in as they will never change for a few generations. Immigration does not work at a speed, needs to be much slower

Sorry but you're all immigrants, actually the Indians look more like the Canadian natives (first nation people) than the white european immigrants

so do yall canadians in the comment section hate immigration into your country or hate indians from coming into your country?

India is overpopulated as hell with 1,5 billion citizen and still growing.Do the math.If only 1 procent decides to immigrate it is 15 million. And guess how fast these immigrants will double or triple in numbers when they have usually 4 or 5 children.And due to their culture they 99% marry only with other Indians.

They just happened to move to this area because of close proximity to Toronto and affordable housing at one time. In the early 80s, there was an influx of Indians that moved to a large housing apartment on Weston rd and st. Clair. As they got their feet on the ground with jobs, they moved to Brampton/Mississauga because there was a boom of new housing. It’s no different from other places in the gta like when the Europeans came, they congregate to certain towns and cities. Woodbridge with Italians, Portuguese in certain areas in Toronto, Chinatown, et cetera. And people are speaking their own languages in these cities I mentioned. This is truly about a visible minority. European immigrants in the 50s to 70s were told that there was too much immigration as well. It’s a cycle

So what your point ? Its just another immigration wave . you not a native and can’t complain about it, your grand grandparents was same “indians” speaking own language lol

I am all for immigrations, but why do Indians and Chinese make up for like 85% of immigration (according to what I saw). \nAs a Japanese international, I feel Canada needs to mix it up.

The worst part about Indians, Chinese and Arabs etc is that they don’t really integrate/assimilate in the countries they immigrate to. They continue with the same segregated systems that forced them to run from their homelands. Big difference compared to African, South Americans, Japanese, Koreans, and Western Europeans who actually try to assimilate to the countries they immigrate to. It makes sense that if you are running away from a failed system, you must assimilate to the new system or else you’ll also destroy the new system if you bring in the same behaviors.

UK is worse...but white ppl are the ones legislating it. Indians are good people but i can understand the culture shock of living in canada or uk but seeing immigrants majority population. odd indeed but im canadian too from immigrants so idk....wht ppl seem to be everywhere too invading asian nations...

17 of 34 seats in the House of Representatives are possessed by Indian nationals. That is why. The stats being separated between Hindu, Punjabi and Indian is only to obfuscate the numbers. Looks a lot better on paper. If they were honest the graph showing Indian immigration would be ridiculous, which it is.

What I see in this video, is most white Canadiens that you show in your video are cracked heat, they are on drugs, and most Indians are decent people, very clean and hard-working people, so Indians Immigrant are not the problem here

Trudeau been flooding us with Indian and Chinese immigrants hoping they’d work but instead many now come in to the country to collect benefits now

I think Canada lost the plot of integration. \n\nBeing an Indian, I do agree that immigration needs to be in controlled- not stopped but controlled so that the immigrants get time to contribute to the community and also integrate.\n\nAlso looking at the video the first man who was sitting and smoking, it will be good to know how he is contributing to the community aswell.

This is exact how did the west indian fell when influx of white immigrant into their land and occupy their community. take the fair turn please.

I'm an immigrant. Came here in the early 90s as a 3 year old. And i remember seeing people of all backgrounds in school. Eastern Europeans, Asians, and etc. But now they all seem to be Indian. Why do we keep importing Indians? Toronto now is comprised mostly of Indians and Asians. We have no homes, infrastructure is falling apart, and hospital wait times are at an all time high. International students all Indians. All the cars getting stolen are by Indians. The gold heist at Pearson all Indian.

Even Canadian born Indians are annoyed theres too many Indian immigrants entering Canada. Most are useless students who apply to B-rated colleges like Algoma or Conestoga (who makes millions off of them), and then dont get good paying jobs afterwards. Because they studied useless programs. These Indian students use college as a loophole to gain fast PR in Canada. Majority of them are scammers. Some become nurses and truckers because thats where the demand is. Then they sponser their entire families from India. This contibutes to over population growth, where the demand is high, and housing supply is low. Families will also pool their money together to buy houses. Problem: The Government Allows it.

Indians are the fast growing immigrant in Ireland at the moment.

Biased reporting made to look unbiased. You should read up on forced assimilation and its negative impact. The aboriginals, first nations, maori. Dont call your country a democratic country because of your ignorance. everyone has a right to their language. You do not need to be included in every conversation if it does not concern you at all and between Indians who know each other. Do you ask the Chinese or Italians or french to speak only english when you eavesdrop?Get off your high horse.Thats soo narrow minded. To be very clear its not that Indians cant speak a word of english but when its their own fellow country men they have every right with their language. Most would be happy to engage with you in english but if your ignorance blinds you then thats on you. If your country feels there are too many Indians then pass immigration laws to reduce the numbers. If your country wants cheap labour and to pay senior citizens with new migrants by taxing them as your population is declining well then don’t complain.

I live in Timmins and live next door to immigrants from India. There has been a large influx of Indian immigrants here. Our experience has been very positive overall. The newcomers are definitely more conservative and capitalist than those born in Timmins.

The truth is there are 10 times more Indian immigrants flooding in Canada everywhere!

Granted, Hindu Indians are some of the least problematic of immigrants but yeah, I get it.

What is so strange? Indian immigrants had fire under the belly and willing to work hard and are happy with the results. On the other hand locals are entitled to Canadian economy and governance benefits and are losing it.

They want to embrace and encourage non Abrahamic religions immigrant Canadian government are not interested in multi ethnic and integration…the facts is successful and talented Indian will claim to be Indian citizens and they will never be of benefit to Canada name … unlike Africa that will integrate and embrace his new nationality India will always serve Indian people, job for their own…\nImmigration policy should be on a quotas, not base on one race

It is so interesting how europeans whom have a notorious history for stealing people's lands, killing, raping etc. even till date, will come up on media to complain that some of their VICTIMS are migrating to a land (canada) which is not even originally european in the first place neither are the aborigines europeans. I am not indian, i don't support any evil done by any immigrant or any act of filth and disorderliness, i dont live in canada and never plan to live in canada but this is quite interesting. These immigrants are moving to canada without shedding no ones blood or raping anyone and it hurts you so called europeans like this. Now you europeans should put yourselves in their shoes to know how it felt when you entered their land uninvited, killed, maimed, raped, stole, oppressed, dehumanised etc. which you are even still doing till date systematically. Wear their shoes a little bit to know how it pinches. I saw some british people on another forum complaining that an indian is the prime minister. Just imagine a british man or woman whom are the most notorious for the crime against humanity called colonisation complaining that they have a foreigner leading their country. It is such a pity.

Every coffee shop, gas station, doctors office, dental clinic, banks, all you see is Indians! that's it. Its worst in Calgary! I honestly dont feel that I am living in Canada, I feel like I am living in India. and they keep pouring more and more and more of them; 70% of immigration Quota is Indians, there are 1.4 billion of them so its not like its gonna stop at any time soon!

I agree with the woman they ain't Canadians at all they are just Indian immigrants that are just impacting the economy and just causing the crime rate and homeless\nRate to go up high.

Im Canadian. Indian immigrants work hard, unlike refugees who get free money.
