At some point, my father worked in the oil industry overseas. A bunch of Indians showed up wanting a managerial job, along with the hard working Americans and Europeans. The latter were confused,l. They thought that those Indians must have lacked the knowledge to read, write, or think, to demand a management position, when Americans and Europeans worked so hard to be where they are now. \n They advised the Indians to never want to see their faces again. \n I come to Canada, and see Indians and Chinese sitting in our parliament. Mind boggling!!!!

We all have Pierre Elliot Trudeau to thank 3:34 for his immigration policies on letting in just about every low life from shit hole countries\nWell ya many who came have contributed to the country but a much higher percentage were and have not\nI was born in Canada grew up in low income housing & steadily more and more low quality people were let into this country\nSlack laws and nothin but big money hand outs etc\nThen came the young girls having babies etc who were babies themselves\nCanada is now a third world country \nWhat a sad sad situation we’re in let alone the rest of the world \n1984 is here in 2024

Change overnight??? Like how Canada is being changed into India basically overnight???

If their intentions were to migrate here it should have been done at first coming to Canada. They came on a Student Permit.. now time to go home. \nPretty straight forward.

Canada for Canadians, deport Trudeau and Singh along with them.

The country has no use for them. Surplus to requirements. Go back to India and help build the service industries there. You now have the skills, or was it something else you wanted when you left for Canada?

The Liberals have encouraged these unskilled immigrants to come to Canada. Now see what happens when Harper's controlled skilled workers policies were disgarded.

If we have a housing crisis, then fewer people should help Canada. It would also help Canadians if we didn't have a bunch of foreign guests abusing our systems.

Full blown racist Canada in the comment section is appalling.

By the way, Harrison Faulkner is one of the best journalists in Canada.

This is Canada for Canadians and these visitors need return home to India where they can protest to be special

As a migrant to Canada my wife and I were required to meet the criteria that included; having relevant qualifications and work experience, money to support ourselves and three children, fluent in English &/or French (actually asked this as proof), medically fit and no criminal record, plus around $5000 landing fee. Within two days of landing I secured a job working for an electrical contractor. \n\nIf you want to come to Canada follow the process and meet the criteria. It’s only fair to those that will qualify and in the future.

I have nothing against different cultures coming to Canada, but lately all I see Indian employees in all stores

Can we elect Kevin O'Leary? He is 100% right, Canada is run by idiots.

We do have a politician who has openly opposed mass immigration in Canada, his name is Maxime Bernier.\nSadly, True North has carried water for the CPC in maligning him.

They deserve to be all kicked out of Canada. How many of them come in on fake Visas, just to get immigration.

Go home, Canada is full!!!!

Canal in Kitchener!!!!!! This Cultural Enrichment works in OUR Healthcare and OUR food industry? WTF UP CANADA!!! Make your coffee at home. F*** the FASTFOOD industry.

I would gladly move to Canada, if I didn't have to pay so much to emigrate! O pid gladly pay 200,000 US just to be a resident!

Canada is expensive with terrible weather. Not worth it

Maybe get out or cities but i have always claimed that I will take the -30 degres winter from Canada where its super sunny all thentimr instead of a 5 degres eastern europe with rain all winter.

It's not only in Canada. It's in many other countries in the world and many others are waiting for the same fate. The system is failing down.

Hey thanks for making such an informative blog. My son is draging me back to Canada next year. He wants to move there, but doesn't know where to settle. Now if we fly into Vancouver with our dog, what are the prospects of renting an apartment in Langley or area.? What are the prospects for finding an job in tech repair? And if he finds a job making 30 CAN an hour, will that be enough to live on? We are Canadian citizens and living in New Zealand for the last 20 years

It's not the brain drain. We never had the brains to drain. Post-secondary education in California cost 1/3 what it does in British Columbia. The State of California has the same population as Canada, yet its GDP is 3x greater than the Dominion of Canada. My Grandson in Florida won a full College scholarship at 11 years of age, and they are rapidly catching up to California. Go figure!

Immigration is not the problem. Canada needs immigration to grow it's economy in the long term. Canada simply needs to build.more houses.

Foods banks in Canada are failing because we are importing immigrants from the third world who come from low trust societies and they game the system .

It's messed up. Even if you stopped all immigration from India today, they could still bring in 300k a year with marriages. Canada has turned into india and they have zero interest in adapting. It's a huge mess and a big danger to the social cohesion. No one wants to live in India period.

Just because they are brown skinned. Canada so rasist

So many visitors, visa students overstay or work for cash during stay in Canada. Now it’s about time for Canada to clamp down

Canada becoming a stinky place now.

Canada's problems are, indeed, diverse and there is one, easy cure; *Socialism*\n Capitalism never did well for the majority of working people and has been failing miserably since the 1980s. We need real change more than ever as Capitalism is now literally killing us and most of the life on our earth.

Canada Sucks! Plain and simple

India 1.5 Mil ? Ya right !! Maybe international students alone I believe it . Canada is done ?

I am from India but am sorry for the state Brampton has become, that was not the case 20 years ago. Now my kids say they hate Brampton. It is JT and his party. They messed the whole country. When I came to Canada there was multi cultures in all neighborhoods in Brampton and now pathetic.

Trudeau the traitor to Canada for you

I love Canada! ?????

What a complete disaster this has become. Importing the problems of every other country to Canada. Turning Canada into a third world shithole. Congratulations for leaving your homelands and turning Canada into the mess that you left behind back there.

Yeah, I've always wanted to live in Canada as a Brazilian, but as I have time to change this, I have changed my plans to hopefully be able to migrate to the Netherlands as it is a beatiful country with walkable cities (as far as I know, I will look into it more).

I noticed that if the community live by an Indian is so dirty and lot of thrash on the road. It looks like they the way they do in their country they do it in Canada. That’s unfortunate for Canada ?

And now you got a 66% capital gains tax for everything you make above 250K a year. Which for Canada's economy it's like shooting every single small business in the balls.

Not only is it it impossible to live here, there are no resources unless the government gets something from it. As an indigenous child who grew up in foster care my whole life, there was no indigenous foster care homes for me to go to and therefore my culture has become traumatic for me. My OWN culture has major trauma related to it and my foster care agency would NOT help me unless I moved to the reservation after I aged out the THEIR system, which was not applicable because they were the ones who traumatized me. When I turned 19, I was expected to have it all figured out, I was not allowed to remain in my foster home afterwards without massive paper work and thank god my foster mom cared about me because without her, I would be on the streets with nothing but a garbage full of clothes. I moved out on my own with the help of that family and my agency said they would help with things if I asked. As of the economy now, I did ask them. I asked them for any help at all and my social worker LITERALLY ghosted me and stood me up, even at my plea for help. You would think this is just my case but there are hundreds of cases like mine with even worse endings and what Canada has done with this information is nothing. Foster Care in Canada for indigenous youth is the 2000’s way of Residential Schools and I am EXTREMELY lucky to NOT be homeless and dead. Many of my friends in similar situations are dead or homeless and I have no hope for Canada, it’s an extremely depressing reality.

No wonder Canada is turning into a bad place to live

Le canada est un pays d'arnaques

Indian under Canada’s Indian Act here. If anything there are too many Europeans.

I am an Arab born, Indian citizen living in Canada as a permanent resident. Since I was born and brought up in an Arab country I am used to the Indian population immigration conquering thing ?

Too many Punjabi Sikhs ??‍♂️??‍♂️??‍♂️ in Canada ??. No longer safe for women ????? or non-Sikhs.

2014- Punjab started to migrate in Canada

As a Pakistani immigrant, I worked on my accent, cultural education. I have almost no Pakistani or Indian friends, for the very reason that I came here for what Canada is and what it has to offer. To integrate. I have a hard time with folks whatever their nationality, but who are huddled around more of themselves all for the reason of familiarity and comfort. They forget how much there is to learn. \n\nToronto is starting to feel like Missisagua too now. Go train is having issues with all the Uber drivers lugging their ebikes on the train.

Canada is the most corrupt country in history of humanity. Country of scams and traps.

Its funny how Canada was this amazing pretty cool and wholesome country I thought it was while growing up. Now that I am an adult I sometimes wish the USA would’ve won the war of 1812 and not deal with a pest of a nation for centuries
