Educated people with college degrees from other nations can't work right away in their profession because they require canadian experience and bla bla bla. The cost of living is very high, they tax you for breathing, small job market overall. Canada needs to be more flexible in professionals with experience in their fields. They are not looking to be working in fast food chains or anything like that having experience. Canada is a hard place to start from zero knowing the reasons above.

Many students just wanted to get permanent resident status when lib govt changes rules allowing that & to work full time..this fueled massive 1 million students to come in over the last year also aided by greedy colleges & un university's looking for higher foreign student fees & unscrupulous private colleges offering fake programs

Looks like a bunch of well dressed Shuffering migrants

All is relative to it's base numbers; and we want those with SKILLSETS, not just wandering the world looking for a guaranteed cheque with no work required. Switzerland? you land there, you WORK. No exceptions.

Prospective Immigrants tell me the taxes are to high. So they look to the US.

Look around the world over the last 3 years. Your Assh+++ nation Killed. PAY DAY IDIOTS.

Good keep are country safe no more car tiff less drug on the street and more work for Canadian. This is how I look at it.

Why didn’t we just keep the status quo. The country is not diverse. It’s segregated. Look at Richmond in BC, Surrey, and Brampton. This isn’t diversity it’s a home away from home.

Canada should definitely see what kind of an image they have made of themselves. They have shown themselves to look like an illiterate government. Its like the Indian government which has always no good to making its country a better country the way it could have decades ago. Canada too has been ridiculous in maintaining better standards, yet sat in a their own bubble keeps boosting about how they think the country provides some of it best services. like i said in its own bubble and not taking a reality check.

Why is this on the bbc?\n\nI just had a quick look around other European national broadcasters, no one else finds this newsworthy for people here.\n\nWhat the hell, is this openly pandering to the tories? Bizarre.

Canada has become a small petty place where selfish woke ideology trumps all. For people with options, looking to work hard, build and create, Canada is less appealing - we have many politicians playing class warfare, demonizing those that earn and succeed while praising those who prefer to belly up to a trough. I understand why there are fewer applications and why fewer creative, driven people choose to come here.

just take a look about Europe (EU) , 900 000 people living in the streets , west have taken too many and of course it is problem now

Her look is nothing special in Canada. She’s white and Tokyo needs her but in Canada, she’s just plain. We, on the other hand, have ethnic and variety of models. We have no trouble making livings as models. ???

This shit looks like an invasion

Looks like Lots of later more taxes to support migrates and definitely lots of regret in many many different ways, unfortunately.

Well that’s not happening. I’m in the outside looking in and that’s not happening.

Funny that this is exactly what Black Friday at Walmart looks like.

And y’all talked all your s*** about Trump. Just look at us now.

There’s a lot of military age men in that crowd that look fairly well fed compared to those fleeing oppression. You don’t think terrorist are organizing these things and taking advantage of the poor.

looks like a pinata exploded..

Child rapist patroling street to look for young white and non Muslim girls ???

Watching your video from Delhi, India ?. Toronto still looks like a heaven to me (although I can't afford it to live there ?).

This is why I’m voting Trump. Say what you want but something like this never happened under his administration. If it did, the news would report it right away to make him look bad. If Trump doesn’t win, we as citizens who have paid taxes and contributed to our own country, will cease to exist.

Canada is a country that looks good on paper, but the reality is much different.

Now Look At The Chaos

Congratulations, your mindset is looks like entrepreneur and I like your point of view because I 'm a realtor in my country. I have experience on real states and marketing plus a strong background on statistics and programming apps f

This is exactly what you wanted CNN \n\nyou literally try to make Biden look good because ur owner pays you to do so

That life on Dad's farm doesn't look so bad. Why would you leave that so you can barely survive in some ugly industrial neighborhood as the Canadian Winter freezes your soul?

Looks like Alpha is a scheme to take money away from poor people by lying to them.

Came to Canada from Kuwait looking for a better future. Big mistake, shouldn't have flapped my gums at work, i had a decent banking job with a career and a future. Now im stuck driving a effin truck with a bachelors degree to make slightly above average with 0 appreciation from the public, and a middle finger to say thank you for my 70 hour work weeks. I see my bed once every 3 days. I sleep next to rats and roaches in truck by the ports. Belittled by port workers and customs agents. Barked at by everyone down to a forklift driver. Looked at as lesser of a human because of the colour of my skin. What a horrible life :( My sister has already left and she was a dentist in Toronto. My mom went back ages ago. My dad is the only one wanting to stay to take care of his elderly patients, many rely on him. All i do is pay taxes and hide my money in the business, what a corrupt and horrible financial system.

Best of luck to you, very valid reasons and your faith and family comes first. I look forward to following your journey. ❤

Basically for people that don’t follow the Middle East he saying absolutely not. We won’t take the Palestinians. They ruined every single country they’re in. Look what they did to Jordan, look what they did to Lebanon. look what they did to Syria look how they turned on Kuwait.

Its now impossible for a low to moderate income person to buy anything. The price of everything just keeps going up up up. Rent in this small town was 400/500 a month in 2015, that same place today runs 2 thousand,and for the first time ever I see, people living on the streets. The reason so many on the streets? Minimum wage 17.45 an hour, rent 2 thousand, do the math, do you want shelter or do you want to eat? We have the government thinking that the average wage is 70 thousand a year. How do they come up with that number, if you add the billionaires and millionaires to the equation the average worker looks to be better off. I would not recommend anyone to come to Canada.

Looks like a gunda ... Shameless ... Must be from backward cow belt of india.....

This looks weird out of context

This comment section looks like an efficient anti-immigration strategy…We get it, inflation is everywhere.

The British government just said they are only looking for pilots who are non-white. The US airlines are also looking for non-white pilots. That IS racisim.

It's refreshing seeing Canadians' opinion on a national issue in the comment section. Just acknowledging that they face a problem and how it should be tackled, no aggressive xenophobia, no racism. Imagine what the comments would look like if this is a US problem. Maybe that's why people go there lol. I would love to be around people like this if I were an immigrant.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ shukran we are very proud and happy to hear words like this because we are all Muslims we cannot sit down and look this atrocity and they say they have right to defend himself in wrong ways killing children's women and men just doing what they want, we will see the day we all come front of our Lord when are they have the right to to do this wrong that they have been doing

I'm an immigrant and my immigrant friends and I were talking about exactly this just the other day. I'd like to add some context on why so few international students stay: they can't. Schools prey on this very fact. In international recruiting, these schools use the promise of thriving local industries and trot out graduates working locally as major draws to these expensive programs. Then once students are in Canada, many of these schools couldn't care less: they offer little or sometimes no housing support, no immigration advice (or in my case and many of my friends' cases: they give straight-up false immigration advice that can screw you over or even get you in trouble). There absolutely needs to be regulation and accountability for these predatory schools; I think a good starting point would be capping the number of visas they can apply for based on the number of housing units available (either on-campus or via local development subsidy and homestays). Tons of students come to Canada completely unprepared due to false promises made by these schools, and then get spit out into an egregiously inefficient and broken work visa system.\nMy immigrant friends and I are all highly skilled in our specific field. There are only a handful of people in the world (let alone in Canada) who can do what I do at the level I do it, so I would be incredibly difficult to replace if I left Canada. Despite that, and despite being Canadian-educated (Canadian resources invested in me that you'd want to keep in Canada), remaining in Canada has been a massive struggle for me and my friends. We individually spend hundreds and even thousands of dollars every year to apply for permits that have to be renewed annually, but take the government 6+ months to process. Because the government is so backed up, we have to apply for *extra* permits to bridge that gap (more money, and more work added to IRCC's already-long line of applications). I'm in limbo for the majority of the year where I can't switch employers, can't leave the country, etc. It's horrible. \nBut I have it better than most. Of the international students in my year, only I and one other student are still in Canada because the transition to work permits is so needlessly long and difficult. Even a graduate who does manage to get a work permit might have to sit unemployed for 6 months or more before that permit is active. How is a student supposed to survive without work for that long? In order for employers to even apply to sponsor a graduate, they often have to do a lengthy labor market impact assessment, and so these graduates are stuck in a holding pattern, and they're the lucky ones. Immigration is absolutely vital to Canada and I hate how quickly these stories turn to xenophobic rhetoric, but we have to make space in the conversation to take a look at how schools are exploiting students and policy loopholes, and why they're doing it, and address those problems. The current system isn't fair to anyone.

Canada has vast abundant waste land that needs to be developed... Canadians, like most developed countries, have become lazy and complacent and not hungery for success because their governments have told them we will look after you.

The whole system is seems questionable to me. The birth rate in China is already declining and India too has declining birth rates in urban areas. What happens when there are no immigrants looking to move to Canada? Where will be our next source of money?

Looking more beautiful in India ❤

Hey look, it's the ex P.M. ?

My child graduated in computer science in 2021 and is still looking for a job in software development. Government policy allows Canadian companies to off shore their software development work and also allows for foreigners with IT experience to be fast tracked as permanent residence to Canada. It is gloomy for young Canadians, as our Govt- federal and Provincial- places more focus on businesses and profits about stability rather than orderliness in our society.

create a problem, then offer solution to make it look look like you fixed things

Labour shortage? someone in the family has been looking for a new job for 7 months!
