Immigrants can make a labour shortage worse by skyrocketing demand in high skill hard to fill job areas around housing and medical capability

As a baby boomer, I’ve been fortunate with rising home prices and a cash flowing business. My multiple rental properties are always leased by international students and I get endless supply of willing labour.\n\nI’ve been blessed. Myself and other boomer friends are in the same position. \n\nThank you Stephen Harper and Justin Trudeau for your policies.

The only reason liberals want mass immigration is because elites and big business want cheap labour so they get higher profits ... Just look at the stock market ... The dow has more than doubled in 10 years .. they don't want to pay living wages to Canadians...

Canada isn’t against immigration. It is against too many low cost labour force immigrants from India.

There was never any labour shortages. That’s a lie.

Really helpful video to understand the policy changes.\nI disagree that reducing immigration will not create shortage in critical sectors because PGWP and PR will be given to people in canada and for labour shortage demands

Now Canada GOVT immediately need two point ...If Canada want more immigrants for future ...1...Introduce Affordable Apartment (2 or 3 Bed RM - to give special High Rise FSI ..So builders or Developers can Supply )...Otherwise today or Tomorrow if Canada need more immigrants (High qualified Labour) and not sufficient Houses ..So ..same situation will face in future ...2 ..For Immigrants Doctors & Pharmacist Graduation coarse for 4 Years ..This should change and introduce for only 1 years coarse ...They have already knowledge of their field (So why waste their Time ,Money)....If Canada interested to dump & wants more Immigrants ...Than ...Government also responsibilities to provide citizens ...Housing & Medical supply ...I wonder why last 10 years this two matter (Home & Medical) supply or facilities not consider this Canada Government ..? ..& ..only dumped new immigrants ..Therefore ..Today immigrant students rent one room and share 5 members in one room , + Price going up scarcity of home ..Due to ...This Canadian Government Peculiar Policy .

Lol...woh PR wale sab workers nikle... labourer nikle...\nBhaiye bahiye bolne wale...khud bhaiye ban gye?

There was never a labour shortage.

Should make them work off the debt in labour camps to pay for the jet charter!! That will put a stop to the immigration problem.

Punjab is on top for sending labour in Canada Balle balle

Bhai Canada ne tho achche ghar ke students ko labour banadiya. Unse paise liye and future barbaad kiya na?

This Government goals have been to flood our country with cheap labour, they now have to backtrack due to Canadian outrage

Guess they're planning to start mass arrests to replace the cheap undocumented migrant labourers with prison labour. Otherwise a lot of Republican leaning farm owners are going to be upset about the bite out of their profit margins...

West companies wanted cheap labourers cause paying local with fare wages was less profitable that's the only truth ya all need to know about illegal immigrants crisis causes..

Anti-immigration advocates: ‘get them out!’\nSame anti-immigration advocates when fresh food goes up by 25% and there’s no more cheap labour:\n‘What the hell happened?!’

So its basically sonething of an National Registrar for Citizens programme in India. \n\nContext - It all began in Northeast India, a tegion which has been neglected by the Indian government for quite a long time. The region is populated by Hindus speaking Assamese (in Assam), Bengali (in Tripura) & Meitei (in Manipur), with a large significant population of Tibeto-Burmese tribal populations following either Christianity, their own folk religions or integrated with Hindus & a minority of Bengali Muslims (mostly in Assam). This area was conquered by the British in 1820s, & with the British came a lot of non-native peoples (mostly Bengali speaking people), thereby making the noatives absolutely hate their presence. Following the Partition of India, many Bengali Hindus fleeing persecution migrated to Northeast India, fuelling further unrest. Over time, a large number of Bengali Muslims from what is now Bangladesh illegally migrated into the Northeast & integrated themselves with the local Muslim population (settled by the British), thereby changing the regional demographics based on religion. In the 1980s the increasing number of Bengali Muslims in the Northeast Indian state of Assam sparked an insurrection, which was put down after the Indian government promised to identify & deport illegal immigrants. Similar rebellions also broke out in other states of Northeast India by the tribal population against the rise in numbers of Bengali Hindus seeking shelter from religious persecution by Muslims in Bangladesh. However, very little progress was made in identifying illegal immigrants in Northeast India. After 2011 census revealed that Muslims outnumbered Hindus in Assam (but the combined Hindu-tribal populated outnumbered Muslims), talks began about setting a registrar & tribunal to speed up the process of identifying & deporting illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. This picked up pace after the Hindu nationalist BJP party came to power in the union government in 2014 & in Assam's state government in 2016. Around 2018, the Assam government started the National Register of Citizens to register the names of all people of the state provided that they can show proof of their/their parents being present in the state before 1971, inabilty to do so would cause to stand trial before a Foreigners' Tribunal to prove their citizenship or face deportation. This exercise was fraught with allegations of xenophobia, with Bengali Hindus, Gorkhas (settled by the British from Nepal to serve in the army) & Austro-Asiatic tribals (settled by the British to work as labourers in tea gardens) being branded as illegal infiltrators alongside Bengali Muslims. Those who were unable to prove their citizenship ended up rounded in detention centres, eventually to be deported out, which at that time many in Europe & USA had compared with Nazi concentration camps. \nIt would be interesting to see whether this same Nazi analogy is drawn up in case of the Trump administration doing the same as what happened in India.

I am a proud English man and will protect our values, but things shouldn't get to a stage where people are being abused, yes you must have the freedom of speech, no matter what Labour say, but everyone is equal, no God is better than another, nor is a person better than another, that goes for us English society or Indian society or any other society. Just get get on with each other, man, woman, black, white, Christian or Muslim.???????

Illegal and Excess labour force from India, Pakistan, Philippines Brazil Mexico need to be deported asap from Canada.

Newly imprisoned blacks will build and serve at the death / detention camps Black will also build the wall free via the prison system . America was built on free labour and will become great aging via the same evil slavery.

Why does Germany need such high number of skilled labour?

Why didnt trump build the wall last time? He is not going to kick out all the cheap labour at his hotels.

A lot of peace will die. No healthcare, labour law deregulation , FDA extinction and all the crazies sweeping the streets .

Secure the border? Yes. Prioritize deporting those who have committed crimes? Yes. But remember that the American economy relies heavily on foreign labour so the process of dealing with illegal immigrants needs to include dramatically increasing the number of immigration officials to get the productive, employed illegals some kind of legal status. The import tariffs are going to cause inflation. Taking away productive workers will further inflate prices.\n\nThen, of course, there’s the illegal immigrants who are entrepreneurs like Elon Musk. Washington Post reports, and Elon’s brother confirmed, that they entered the US illegally although they do now have legal status in the US. Elon had a student visa to do graduate studies at Stanford but he never signed up for a single course. Instead he created a startup. So he didn’t comply with his student visa and he was working illegally. Quite the hypocrite. Should Elon Musk be deported for his illegal entry back in the 1990s? There’s no evidence he committed any other crimes so perhaps not. But if not, then just treat all the illegals with the same consideration.

i agree with deporting illegal migrants, however cost of certain labour jobs will go up and the people will pay, these are good people who do hard work and it will be a rude awakening for americans if they’re all mass deported— i do think a Harris presidency overall would have been better. but only time will tell, i hope the level of discourse and overall temperature of the USA can remain calmer than previously seen. ❤??

What about the immigrants that have been working and contributing and trying to get citizenship for decades and the spouses of American citizens still fighting for their right after paying taxes for many years - are we raiding all families homes and splitting up kids from parents? Did we ever find the families for the 800+ kids that had no details taken still unable to contact families that trump split them from the first time? Or does that not matter cause it’s not YOUR kids? Huh. When they come and create the detention camps and ship people back to places they haven’t been in decades who cares right they have been paying American taxes and have no rights while their years of waiting for their citizenship - fix that maybe so those who are working, contributing can stay and work in the jobs they have and keep families together. But no let’s demonise EVERY single person because most who voted are ignorant just like abortion about the actual application and situations that arise within a MASSIVE spectrum. Just dumb it down to ANY illegal, and does that also include the legal folks that GOP decide aren’t anymore just cause they came from elsewhere on an invitation? Springfield residents I would suggest if you haven’t or can’t left the state already you find points of contact for legal battles. \n\nWelcome to the start of your facist, authoritarian, white nationalist, dictator era AMERICA. What follows was your own doing. To any woman that voted republican - No matter your faith there is no well I always vote republican defence. Women have and will die for lack of healthcare, their deaths are on your hands and every republican. And so we are clear there are ZERO babies ‘executed’ after birth cause anyone changed their mind. The deaths of fetus carried to term are due in almost all cases to massive complications, unviable development or other mitigating issues. Those babies were wanted. They were mourned. \n\nWhere is the magic money for all these deportations coming huh? Reconciliation won’t pay the bills, and once the workers who do the labour that effect service, hospitality, food supply the costs of things will rise. But apparently multiple Wall Street and top economists telling you outright that trumps plans will tank the economy still you don’t believe. Even though Biden landed the best recovery in the world post covid and gop. When musk and the rich are getting another tax break and the costs of food and gas rise who do you blame then? If it wasn’t for all the innocent ppl about to suffer I would wish you welcome to just implode with this vile plan but the dictators like putin are already rubbing their hands together in gleeful joy. People of Ukraine I am sorry. People of Yemen, Syria, Palestinian civilians, Israel hostages, lgbtq+ communities, non white Christian faith followers, blended families, veterans, minorities or anyone fleeing violence, death or persecution - there will be no aid or help by the GOP Trump administration and in fact I fear you will be targeted by hate and ignorance or selfishness and greed. But I hope enough columns of good remain to shield as many as possible from what is in their plans. Folks who voted for gop while being in the targeted communities you need to take a long hard look in the mirror and soon you may experience your choices in vivid regret. \n\nFor those who still have a conscience I share your heartbreak and wish the future 4yrs pass quickly and a flicker of hope that there is still good enough people who will offset the hate, division and evil that’s about to erupt all over the country. ?️

The courses they offer in Canada are worthless and do not guarantee a job in the Canadian labour market, except for a minimum wage job at Singh Horton's, which is almost exclusively staffed by Indian students, only the colleges profit

Paying crappy wages to Mexican and other labourers has always been the US way for making low cost food products.?

The immigration issue is bs. How long will the people who rely on the cheap labour force tolerate the disruptions in hospitality, building, nannies, and farming, before they put the kibosh on mass deportations. Trump has a concept of a plan. (Infrastructure week)

This is going to be sooooo entertaining to watch. Tarrifs = higher prices for the average american family. No Cheap Labour = higher prices for the average american family. Tax breaks for the Rich = continuing to transfer the countries wealth to the rich and thus make people poorer and continue shrinking the middle class. Oh yes. The American people are going to get what they deserve for sure.

Trump used illegals as cheap labourers \nAnd then didn’t pay them properly smh

Cnn want slave labour without saying they want slave labour

Also, Canada never had job opportunities.. canadian public colleges just collide with indian immigration agents (who gets commission ₹1.5 lakhs for every single student visa they send to canada) by showing you false hopes and dreams and fake job opportunities If they have any few job opportunities that is for labour jobs, that’s it. They wanted modern day slaves \nThis is all a scam!

LOL ??? Indians practice Hindu Varna Caste Slavery. Law abiding Canadians have been competing with slave labour for 40 years, and they wonder why they’re broke? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lDt-NVUhpQ

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

Liberal policy is open for massive immigration and they don’t care Canadian security and labour shortages

STEM is already out of 2025-27 plan. There will be no tech draw. Though, its only general draws , nevertheless general draws are no consistent , check at canada.ca . The 2025 priority categories include: health care occupations, trade occupations, and French-language proficiency. Categories are established each year, informed by labour market information and projections as well as input received from partners, including provinces and territories, and stakeholders across the country. IT is already a saturated market in canada. Someone needs good experience both in foreign and Canadian market.

So here is how things will move on going from here, and this goes for people reading the comments. And full disclaimer I live in Victoria, BC so I can share my POV from the Canadian side:\n\nThere's toomuch of low skilled cheap labour coming in from Punjab and other countries like Nigeria, Philippines, etc. Its gotten sooo bad now that even Indians living in Canada are feeling like this is not what we came for.\n\nI can't even start with how bad the immigration has gotten, people can barely and I mean barely speak English and they are working for all possible low skilled jobs. Tim Hortons, Uber delivery, Uber Cabs, Petrol pumps I mean what is going on.\n\nRight now its getting to Canadians, and you need to understand that Canadians need these low skilled jobs for themselves too but employers are finding extremely cheap labour from other places to replace Canadians.\n\nSo if you ask me this move is good, it will surely hurt the skilled labour class too but its needed. Imagine have a million immigrants coming in with a country that has a population of 40 million.\n\nThe infrastructure comes to a stand still, housing is ruined, food inflation begins. \n\nHonestly thanks to Diploma mills, Asylum seekers and gangs from Punjab, its honestly gotten bad from the Indian perspective. Now add to this others coming in from Africa and South East Asia and you can see this country get worse honestly.\n\nThis isn't hate against anyone, its just facts.

My IELTS General scores are as follows:\n\nListening: 6\nReading: 4.5\nWriting: 5.5\nSpeaking: 6.5\nOverall: 5.5\nIs this score sufficient for the job code NOC 62020? Position Kitchen Manager

First they want skilled and hard workers labourers to develop there country after some years they are feeming we are occupied by indians \nJust imagine if same manpower if you bring from gulf countries or africa what could be worst \nJust see whats happening in france and all over europe \nIndians are not like that they are very polite people if you want asopt canadian culture they will follow \nIndians follow canadian rules not religious rules

Why are you calling immigrants if you can not support them. Immigrants do not know what’s happening in canada. You guys are just bringing immigrants for labour jobs. And when they land here the systems insults them in every possible ways.

Canadian girls and women need to make 3 babies at least that way no need immigrants thats the problem we don't have enough labour force and government need immigrants students stay home ladies wash dishes clean houses don't go to work make more kids otherwise immigrants will overtake this country one day

STOP USING INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS AS THE FIX TO LABOUR SHORTAGE!!!!

Not only does she throw her family under the bus, but she also doesn't understand that Trumps' border policy will include legal immigrants as well, unless you're European. He alienates her as well. The best well-known example would be how he has been alienating the Springfield Haitian community. They are all legal American citizens.\n\nThis clip underlines the danger of cultivation. At one point, the herd will, while clapping and singing, happily, joyfully, and gleefully walk into their own demise.\n\nNot only has this lady lost her family. If Trumps' project 2024 comes to fruition, she will wake up one day in either a penal camp to do some slave labour or in a bus next to the border on the verve of being deported.\n\nLet's hope there are enough smart enough American people left to save your country and it's people from otherwise very dark days ahead of you.

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

On LinkedIn I was getting all sorts of people from India want to come into the country? They didn’t have any qualifications, so what why would we let them in they just labourers we got lots of laborers.

I feel people r crazy, not understanding who created this problem, Actually it's all due to wrong govt. Policies under the pressure from few corporate houses , who want cheap labour for next 10/15 years for their survival.Actually we all are immigrant at some point, our parents or grand parents moved to Canada.

racism aside and why we dont like outsiders . When you see who has the jobs and how insecure they are in food,housing,income,education,immigration status ect. its slave labour plain and simple.

“It kept us out of a recession” \nBy destroying the quality of life for the average person. You could let Canadians use the natural resources we have in this country to create real wealth instead of importing millions to work for slave labour like conditions.
