At the start of the video there were statements made that the immigration: foreign workers and international students - is putting a strain on the Canadian safety net. When the narrator was talking about homeless population there was a video piece showing opinions of some of the homeless people. Are those homeless people immigrants? If not how can you use that video piece to support your point?\n\nThere was also a chart showing how shelter occupancy grew in Toronto and how expensive it is to buy a house in Toronto. Toronto is not the whole country, you can’t make it seem like the whole country can’t “afford immigrants” because housing in Toronto is expensive.\n\nI view this report as an opinion piece: there were some statements made at the beginning but as the video progressed no evidence was provided to support those statements.\n\nI agree that there are problems that are tied to immigration in Canada but you can’t just state something without providing a factual evidence showing how immigration is linked to the problems covered in the video. This looks like cherry picking, not journalism.

Canada is an appendage of the USA masquerading as a country.

PERVERT CAPITAL OF CANADA

TRONTO IS THE PERVERT CAPITL OF CANADA

To apply visa of canada do we need to book hotel n flight ticket first before apply? Do they request those bookings on the submission? Or we can submit without those bookings (hotel n flight)?

Pierre Polivere has taken over Canada. Why is he already acting like he's the Priminister. He talks more then Trudeau. NDP all the way for me.

Canada brings too many new people in at a time, there is no asymulation to become Canadian, we have segregation going on

I live in Canada. I’m 29, and even in my short existence here, I’ve noticed the deterioration of many public services. \nThe decisions made during the pandemic will cause repercussions for decades. \nBig changes need to happen to allow my future grandkids to live in a great country. Might be too far gone for me and even my kids.

It’s universally acknowledged in canada that my generation will not be able to afford a house. There’s just so much more to worry about that we can’t talk about it or we’ll just start crying.

​​if the DLI i want to go to doesn't require a prerequisite course. do i still have to take it as someone who came to canada with a visitors visa and want to apply for study permit?

I came in Windsor Ontario as a foreign worker in 2009, wasn't the best time to look for a job there but still. I did 1 year of studying, worked again, left for Alberta in 2012 where I still am. Got my PR in 2014 and citizenship in 2022. Most of the things I hear against living in Canada must be true, I don't doubt it but I'm just not aware of them. I didn't even know there was a bank account freezing during COVID. It wasn't easy to get a good job, I had to leave for a small community in Alberta to get the most of what I wanted and that's why I am oblivious to the harsher reality that people have to endure in Toronto or Vancouver. But the thing is, as soon as I landed in Toronto and got robbed 50$ by some guy (this is just an anecdote not the real reason), I knew I shouldn't try to make a living there. I know job opportunities are in those big cities but please, if you can, there are great communities that need people, workers, consumers and families. If you can land a job there, move! At least try. It doesn't even have to be that far up north, nor to be a mini small village. Small city, rural living, no criminality, cheap housing, lots of space, family friendly, no traffic, no wait time to see a doctor, friendly people, douchebags, we have it here. Are they drawbacks? Yes of course. Need to drive 1 or 2 hour to get a scan or an MRI, car dependance is exacerbated but hey, it feels like a free country where no one have been overpriced...yet.

Trudeau our P.M. is really the problem, since this man came into power 8 years ago, he has spent our money helping China and other countries while ignoring its own citizens. His plan is to make Canada a communist regiem and distroy all our freedoms!!! Who ln their right minds want to live like that? People are loosing their homes at an alarming rate, and there will be more homeless then ever before. We are so far in debt. that only God can help us now, and thats another thing, christians are now under more persecution then ever before.

I will come to Canada next month so please, I want help to find my way out

As a Canadian, born and raise, I am already planning to leave Canada and teaching my children to leave Canada to get University degree in USA is better than Canada. The pay in Canada is low and cost of living is high. Is better. higher pay and lower cost of living. China has better opportunity for business than Canada.

I believed Canadians picked money from trees before moving to Canada.

Look at the smirk ? on his face this is Canada ?? not India respect our laws we don't bend to vote banks .

About the chicken and egg situation. It's not just immigrants who have this problem. I was born in Canada, lived here my whole life and I have had difficulty getting work. Even after going to college and applying to several jobs in that field, it seems no one wants to hire you unless you know someone in that job or you have 2-3 years experience in that field already.

The main problem is once you go through the long process of getting a college degree (computer science in my case and 3 years of help desk experience), I don’t get more calls, I don’t get interviews and I get the anxiety that comes with seeing everything getting more expensive, bills pilling up and no income entering the account. It’s dreadful, to see everywhere that computer science is in demand and you have to sleep scared shitless of going homeless. I don’t know if it’s because I’m Hispanic, my skin tone something in the water. I’m not staying in Canada. I’ve been living in Canada for 30 years. Now I’m leaving Canada for an Hispanic Country. In Canada homes are not affordable, I don’t get jobs opportunities even thou the market is statistically healthy, and everything is getting more, and more expensive.

These are really dark days for Canada and Canadians under Justin Trudeau. But things will soon change.

Better standard of living: \nOn paper it's Canada. \nOff paper it's India.

I keep reading comments from Canadians saying, “I’m moving to America because Canada ?? is too expensive.” You all are in for a surprise! It’s expensive in America as well - and we have a gun violence problem on top of it. Plus, the outrageous cost of healthcare.

Canada is fucked. I want to get out.

Is not a reason to live in Canada anymore..

Every India should leave Canada ! Because Canada looting Indians's property and women ! Canada threatened the Indian people and loot their property which not many people knows or admit. Indian women also being raped by Black white and other races on work places. One day Canada will turn every Immigrant women into prostitution that is what Canada's attention is. ?

Canada ?? Canada ?? Canada ??.

Canada banega Khalistan

Every country exclusively USA and Canada should stop inviting Indians because of the population,Even though being an Indian,i feel it's too much populated , India itself is very polluted and overpopulated,if other countries invite Indian immigrants then other countries also will become thickly populated with pollution and become nasty and dirty like India

A lot of immigrants to Canada have no intention of making Canada their home. They want the passport and citizenship status to have as a status in their own country. Often these people speak of how lame they find Canada to be and how little they could care about what Canada is as a country and a nation. Our Government doesn't care about making the qualifications to becoming Canadian a more profound commitment. The Federal government leaves the cost and the burden of assimilation on the Canadian tax payers so they don't care. The government makes their money.

your comments are pretty fair for someone who has been living in Canada for a few years.

Nobody forced you guys to come to Canada. Please leave then simple and short. You cannot live in another country with a sense of entitlement from your new country of residence. You earn everything in Canada with no corruption but ethics.

Welcome to Canada, Welcome to debt trap slavery

And still Canada pretends to be THE BEST country in the world . What a shame !

Canada uses Newcomers to pay pensions of old Europeans through tax

Because Canada is not an independent country. It's a state of USA. Ask HUAWEI

If you are Fed up with Canada I would recommend a very Cheap Country for you to move ( Sudan) You can live in there like a King ? For Only $100 a month...!

Im seriously considering leaving Canada. I was born here, but its the not the same as it used to be. Rent and food prices have skyrocketed, theres massive drug abuse and homelessness issues, and the culture has changed completely. Im not racist, but lets be real Indian culture has completely taken over. I feel like i dont belong in my own country anymore

All those people who are thinking of leaving Canada will be back within less than a year with their tail between their legs begging for help because if they couldn't make it in Canada, anyone think they will make it anywhere else! Please ????. \nNote: Stop complaining and just exercise your right to leave, but don't ask us the real people of canada to help come back.

Toronto is the capital of Ontario, not the capital of Canada.... But, good content either way.

Too many indians, that became the nightmare of Canada.

Canada is falling apart thanks to JT, Canadians have 0 rights, we are exactly like he said, last in line.

All the immigrants Trudeau has pumped into Canada have all been Indians for the most part too.

As a born and bred, white, Canadian citizen I can confidently say Canada has gone to absolute shit. It is fucking embarrassing. Our fall from grace under that piece of shit Trudeau is historic. We have become a joke. This country has become trash, on SOOO many levels.

Canada is Diet America. For years Canadians have pretended they were better than the USA. Guess what?

Scary the way how Trudeau follow the manual of his sugar daddy Schwab to make the great reset in Canada. This guy need to be expelled

This is a load of bullshit the majority of the crackheads/homeless in Toronto are Canadian Citizens. The issue isn’t immigration it’s drugs and the moral decline of society. The Immigrants are actually the once keeping the Canadian economy running. Canada is basically begging for immigrants because it requires it, who’s gonna do most the jobs that Canadians prefer not to do or are too addicted to bother

Canada, America, even Australia has this problem. Hés right, the West. All by design it seems? Many govts. failing.

Okay I understand the problem, but what I see ts people just dont want to work and this is a major problem why we see all this madness right now.\nI came to Canada 2 years ago under CUAET visa and after 3 weeks im finds work and pay all bills, rent an appartmen, bought car, even more I do save money every months.\nJust work ...

You trusted your politicians and obeyed them. You, especially the younger generations don't know about the God that blessed these countries so much. Now they are paying the price for not obeying that loving God. Canada is woke and broke. But still Jesus is waiting for you to turn to him.

The great majority of immigrants came to Canada to build a better life for themselves and their families.\nThe government induced them here by outright lying to them about opportunities and possibilities.\nOnce here, they see that, no matter how hard they work, they cannot get ahead, only tread water...or fall further behind.\nAnd the government at all levels swindles them on excessive taxes.\nThe same as they do us.\nNo wonder so many want to...and do leave Canada.\nGood on them for having the courage to do so.

Canada ..is a very sad place.
