My wife and I moved to Canada about a decade ago from post-Soviet states, where we both grew up with not much more than our smarts and a strong work ethic. When we arrived, adapting/integrating Canadian values, especially work ethics, was a big deal for us. Those first few years were tough, we really had to hustle to improve our lives. Now, a decade later, we're both in pretty solid tech and science jobs. Our child had the incredible privilege of being born in Canada, and that fills me with immense joy.\n\nIt wasn't just our own grit that got us where we are now; we owe a lot to the incredibly welcoming Canadians we met along the way. I'm thankful every day for the awesome, kind-hearted folks we've met. Canadians are truly some of the best people around, and despite lots and lots of issues, Canada is one of the greatest countries in the world. I know this because I've lived and worked across many countries on many continents . We, Canadians, need to keep working to make it even better. I'm proud to be a Canadian immigrant. God bless my fellow Canadians.

People are only mad because of the color of the new immigrants. Don't tell me otherwise because if you do you're full of shit! Immigration numbers per year is around 300,000 and thats even if the PC's are in power. During Covid Canada didn't bring anyone in for obvious reasons. After Covid restrictions we opened immigration back up. Now the PC's are using it as a lets scare the white people in Alberta voting tactic. And of course the unimformed fall for it. California which is one State out of 50 has 40,000,000 people you weirdo's. Don't act like we are the size of PEI.

Oh wow 40,000,000. The State of California has more people alone.

True and correct. FREE PALESTINE ??\nSTOP GENOCIDE NETANYAHU. STOP GENOCIDE UNITED STATES FUNDING. FREE PALESTINE ??\nSTOP GENOCIDE ISRAELI MILITARY AND ISRAELI SETTLERS STOP ISRAELI SETTLERS STEALING LAND AND HOUSES. FREE PALESTINE ??

States ain't much better, especially with Biden in office.

There is no amount of money that could make me want to live in the states. I've been down there many times and have never had a good experience there.

Good for him. Colonizers stating no one will take them, that is not the point. This great man knows the point.

No more immigration from anywhere right now but especially from India and any Islamic state.

Canada is a failed state

I hope that u relocated to Palestain to free her as it stated on your cap?

Yet they have rejected every proposal for a State of their own \nIncluding the last one in which 97% of what they were asking for was agreed to by Israel and Israel offered compensation for the 3% and they still turned it down \nThis is not about land \nThis is about the Demonic Pagan Deception from Satan called Islam

right! step one: recognise their neighbouring state

All smart students from India Canada trays to bring who is allowed ? Why Canada complain. Punjab state empty from India. Who’s responsible?

Canada has furthered neoliberalism for the past 4 decades and with it has expanded the gap between the rich and poor. This has essentially closed off self-actualization for the many while the few privileged are coddled by selective state socialism. In the meantime (and it is a very mean time for the poor), socialized infrastructure built up over decades has been sold off to private interests and class divisions heightened. It is a shystem that is neither sustainable nor ethical but because neoliberalism furthers ideas of selfishness, most Canadians don't care because they believe the lie that the individual is responsible for twisted economic and poltical policies.

People coming from punjab or coming from from pakistan and middle east, govt must stop this, its no good. Same with europe and america also. Govt should take quality immigrants not liability. All liability are coming and its hell lot of population. Canada can become failed states like pakistan somalia. Before that govt needs to wake up, time already ran out. Right now either u have to increase canada's capacity which is not possible. Canada is sinking economy or stop any kind of immigratiin, refugee, asylum. ASAP.

Canada is the No. 2 best country in the world.\n\nThe country has a GDP of $2.14 trillion and is the second-largest country by total area after Russia.\n\nIn terms of cost of living, Canada is, on average, 11.2% lower than the United States, and renting in the country is 30.4% lower than in the U.S., according to Numbeo.\n\nCanada also ranked as the third best country for quality of life, according to U.S. News and World Report. The country is known for its affordability, access to education and healthcare system.

If I was in the field of entertainment, I believe I'd move to the States because you have more opportunities. However I'm a senior and have had 2 knee replacements and I'm pretty sure I couldn't have afforded the operations in the States. There are many nice people in the States too.

They don't care about the Palestinians. Saudi Arabia and Kuwait expelled 300,000 Palestinians from their countries after the 1991 Gulf War. The Palestinians supported Saddam Hussein.\n\nIsrael took in 1,000,000 Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews that were expelled from the Arab states after 1948.

Sometimes it takes asking stupid and dumb question to get clarity on state irreducable policy position!

He wants to end the Israel state.

In 1988 the Palestine National Council meeting in Algiers proclaimed the establishment of the State of Palestine.

Just an FYI who is watching this, its mostly punjabi folks from the state of Punjab that are struggling and desperately sending their kids for a masters. The other states aren’t this desperate to send their kids to Canada

These are Punjabis from Indian state of punjab...they are professional protesters...\nAll they do in India is protest and protest Every 6 months..???

Issue with Canada is, it became a vassal us state and it sinks when the master sinks.

Empty words by another puppet Arab state of USA. Strategy gettin old and ineffective as people rise!

To those who ignorantly label all Muslims as terrorists, consider the history of the United States and the countless innocent lives lost due to its actions over the past 200 years, including numerous bombings and military interventions in multiple\ncountries. It's time to wake up and recognize that terrorism is not confined to any one religion or nationality. Spreading hate and misinformation only perpetuates ignorance and division. Let's focus on promoting understanding and peace instead.

They do the same in their own country too. India has different races within india who are very different ethnic groups with their states. But majoritarian Hindi population and Punjabis moved everywhere because of the unchecked population of Hindi and Punjabi belt and moved into non hindi, educated and far advanced (wrt culture) this destroying their culture, language, their music and movies and flooding and overcrowding and imposing their sick culture on the non Hindi india who are much more polite and liberal .

Most of the people you interviewed are not Canadians ?? what a sad state Canada got high jacked

It is refreshing to see Canadians admit that they are not perfect. For many years they just criticized the United States for this and for that and that we only elect fascists here. Now you don't want immigrants either.

Winnipeg, Manitoba. Winnipeg, the capital and largest city of Manitoba, is the most dangerous city in Canada. As of 2022, it holds the second-highest per-capita rate of homicides, standing at 7.2 per 100,000 people. Compared to the states St. Louis, Missouri has the highest murder rate in the United States of 60.9 murders per 100,000 residents. No wonder people from canada hate the states, that right there should say it all ?

As a Canadian Veteran I don't blame immigrants leaving the country. Personally I wish I could have retired in Germany, as the present government has totally ruined Canada, they've divided the country, they're taxing the average Canadian to homelessness. Food bank use has sky rocketed, Canada has become totally unaffordable to a LOT of Immigrants and actual Canadians. a very SAD state we live in.

I am from India , 80 % of these Indians are from the states of Punjab, Gujarat and Hariyana and they mostly come to Canada with IELTS and degree certificates obtained via improper channels . I have hardly seen any one of them actually take a serious effort towards education . Canada is doing a very bad job filtering international students. The smart ones are being absorbed by the USA, predominantly from Southern India; while Canada mostly attracts the lower tire group from North India with lower productive value to economy.

You didn’t state if we can save our work and come back to them . The documents to be uploaded do they have to be on your phone or laptop in order to be able to upload them . Thanks a lot this really helping me understand the process starting soon

As an immigrant to Canada myself, I have to state the obvious, the problem isn't about immigration, per se, as it is about the lack of discernment. Not all cultures are the same. Canada can and should give preference to immigrants from other democratic countries. When you import the third world, you import its problems. It's commendable to try to save everybody, endless respect, but your citizens have to come first. Canada can't save the third world by becoming a part of it.

In June 2023 Brampton, ON was officially declared a epicenter of gender based violence and a state of emergency. Specifically, women suffering heinous abuses, stabbings, sexual abuse, and other types of violence.

Hindu-Americans Rank Top in Education and Income.Hindu-Americans have the highest socioeconomic levels among all religions in the United States, according to a new study by the Pew Research Center’s Forum on Religion and Public Life.The Pew study, titled “Asian Americans: A Mosaic of Faiths,” bears that out, and the numbers are staggering. Eighty-five percent of Hindu-Americans are college graduates, and 57 percent have some postgraduate education, which is nearly five times the national average. Education levels largely correlate to income, and there as well, Hindus rank at the top of the list. According to the study, 48 percent of Hindu-American households have an income of $100,000 or more, and 70 percent make at least $75,000. Hindu migrants to the U.S. are largely from upper caste backgrounds.

World War 4 India Vs the United States of Asia lol ?

The Hells Angels and the Mafia have both announced they are leaving Canada. They have both stated that they cannot compete with Chinese , East Indian, and other criminal organizations, who work for less, are more vicious, and all look alike. They also claim, that most of the immigrants have the same last names, giving them an unfair advantage with law enforcement. No details yet as to where they will go, as Canada is one of the few countries that welcomes criminals and fraudsters.

Punjabis in Canada protest for a sovereign state while the banks are going to eventually own all the land

spending money in a country doesnt entitle you to citizenship - ive spent lots of money in United states ... doesnt give me the right to citizenship

The difference between modern mass immigration and immigration of the past is so stark. My great grandfather came over fleeing fascist Italy and built a tile and terrazzo business on blood, sweat and tears. It has employed members of my family the last 4 generations alongside 100's of other employees the past 75 years. They have paid millions in taxes and helped build up the community in a literal and metaphoric sense. \n\nToday, most immigrants are allowed entry to boost profit margins in academia while offering little in terms of viable skills outside of the service industry. What a sad state of affairs.

United states is worse than Canada being more hostile to other Cultures & races

Go back your country islamic state \nIts england not a muslim country

Go do ur study first...nonsense statistics...Punjab is a state in India....Hindu is a religion in India...u don't need to separate them as different nationalities...yes ...they are all from INDIA

“Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons. The establishment of a Palestinian state is a new tool to continue the fight against Israel and for Arab unity.”\n“The Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct ‘Palestinian people’ to oppose Zionism.”\n— Zuheir Mohsen Political figure in PLO and Military Leader in Fatah

Show a piece of paper stating what you were promised, then let's talk, or it's a hope and dream

It's sad that so many Canadians have to move from their hometowns/provinces in droves to financially survive and get ahead a little. Unfortunately, the droves of people fleeing Ontario and BC are driving up prices now (to buy/rent) in other parts of Canada like Alberta and Atlantic Canada where this is having a trickle effect creating Albertans, Nova Scotians, etc. to be homeless and strains on their provincial healthcare systems. It's a sad state of affairs, and I do not think a politician can fix this, unless they start demanding more and curtailing the power of corporations. A big rebalance needs to occur, but it seems unlikely when politicians and business leaders are on the same side (aka corruption / conflict of their own interests). Canada needs a division between government and business which is the case in many Scandinavian countries.

Wicked job Fifth state! to exploited the fake Canadian dream been sold to all those students.. atleast some of the future families don’t waste their life saving.. ???

We don’t have enough power to keep the Country going when we have heatwaves. How does Bootyplug figure we can have 500,000 chargers installed and running on $4,000,000 .00 per State. This Administration has got to be the biggest bunch of idiots and liars ever.
