She makes me so mad, I'm first Nations, so me and all the other first nations are the original Canadians!

If you Muslims are so concerned about your safety, why don’t you attempt to assimilate into the Canadian culture? It is very disrespectful to the Canadian society that you Muslims make no effort to assimilate, or change to Christian religion.

Poor, poor NON-refugee. Should have followed US immigration law. Could have been living and working legally in America by now and with his wasted legal fees probably in his pocket. Who suggested he go on this wild Canadian goose chase anyway? Sad fir his family but people make terrible decisions all the time. Personable accountability can be a hard road.

Make One thing clear.. Islam is not the fastest growing religion in Canada, it’s simply they (Trudeau) keeps importing them... NO Canadians are on a mission to become Muslim

THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT IS RACIAL BATING...VERY SAD TRUDEU \nWHY IN MY LOVED COUNTRY YOU PLAY THE PLOITICS FOR VOTES...\nWE LOVE ALL HUMAN BEINGS AND CBC YOU NEED TO BE ASHAMED!!!\nMy daughter is Indonesian and my wife is Thai... Stop it CBC you are creating the devide with our cultures.... Sick Journalists trying to make a make when the know nothing about nothing but social media. Live it before you spout your mouth...Crap News CBC

I'm really not sure what Trudeau said to make him and other undocumented immigrants buy into this fallacy, but its a known fact that immigration to Canada is strict. Its actually far more stringent than even the US. He also does not qualify for asylum after having lived in the US for 15 years. I'm just confused about this whole thing? What exactly did Trudeau say? Can any Canadians confirm please? Trying to figure out if this guy simply didn't do his homework. =/

Stupid laws help criminals to make lots of money. And, people see no good reason to comply with irrational laws like this, so they find ways around them. \nIf you're granted permanent residency, why do you have to keep proving residency?\nWhat next? Fining citzens for going on holiday for too long and hence not paying enough into the Canadian Economy? If so, the CEO's of many major Canadian businesses will be hung out to dry. So, I suppose that's a stupid law which won't be brought in, as it would hurt the wrong people.

If he could have prolonged his permanent Canadian residency without living in Canada - he woulndn't have had to do a fraud. Even make them pay a fine if they are not living in Canada - good inflow of budget money.

as a Canadian I look forward to the day that Jordan Peterson runs for PM of Canada. The radical egalitarian snowflakes in my country would probably cry too much to make it happen though.

You know what I'm a Canadian and the bull shit this nation says to the rest of the world to make seem like some Utopia is a complete facade!

Moving to Vancouver was a great experience tbh, I'm of nigerian heritage but was born in Finchley, North London...\nCanadians are friendly and extremely welcoming ( Coming from the UK i found this so off-putting ) lol. Ironically its non-white Canadians i had funny experiences with.... from dating to renting its weird\n\n\nAsians under 27 always asking some crazy questions ( Are you an NBA player ) lol it's cute at first but after a while when little koreans walk up to me talking about ( You look like will smith ) it makes you think... To be fair these are not inherent negatives, But asian canadians alone did treat me weird i found, Indian girls i met all wanted to be with me but where also very ashamed to say so or let their family know, but thats a cultural thing so i understood.\n\n\n Of all the demographics White canadian and native men where the most welcoming and open to me, in my experience.. White women of-course where cool too but that does not really count, especially as a good looking black guy with an accent LOOL you know how that goes!! My Tinder and Bumble were obscene LMAO\n\nRenting from asians while black and Male!? is almost impossible!!! Except they think you have rich parents!! Its impossible in Van unless you are an Arab exchange student lol \nArab and Persian students studying english have no issues renting in Vancouver, for some reason!!\n\nI lived out the St. Regis downtown for a month, Looking for places to rent, i had seen so many places online and filled out applications but never got call backs, asides from 2 group showings i went to, i could not even set up a viewing with the apartment building i wanted... \n\nTill i met an african girl in school, and she told me something i found completely crazy.\nShe told me to make a new e-mail addy and to use my English name when i e-mail, then set up a viewing but to show up with a white friend preferably a girl and that if the owner is asian, i should look around, and offer to pay 6months upfront before they get a chance to ask what i did for work or whether i was a student or not LOL. Needless to say, i did what she said and It worked the asian lady asked me to come get the keys later that day. Its just life, as a property owner they really just wanna size you up, not fair and kind of pathetic but its not inherently evil...

Wow, you're Canadian and get treated with this kind if respect and the government claims to vote for them because our Canadian lives are valued and they look put for our best interests? Has anyone really looked at all the Damn loop holes we have with *SO MUCH FREEDOM* its actually backwards! but they word it in such way and make it sound so confusing where we think they do have our best interest. REALLY ALL THESE RULES ARE ACTUALLY KEEPING US CONTROLLED. we do need the government on some matter to ensure we live by *GODS* rules not to originate their own rules to control us by. Canada is pretty darn good for this backwards talk, brainwash, diabolical plan. Look at the school or educational systems let lone bigger issues hidden in pages of pages by the hundreds of thousands rules we MUST LIVE BY. We all know its for their own personal benefit. We are only on this world for a short period of time we all want wealth ect. We all can have it. So many ways to fix the earth and how we coexist with eachother in peace and harmony. But TILL THE WORLDS POWER OF LOVE OVER COMES THE LOVE FOR POWER WE WILL THEN KNOW TRUE PEACE!!

The guy in the video says he would earn a maximum of 10,000 each month in India, and is happy making 3000 Canadian dollars which is 1.50 Lakh Inr working in basic type jobs. Samaj nahi aara raha 10,000 mein toh aaj kal full time maid aa sakti hai bas India mein.

I am actually shocked by people in the comment here. All talked like you knew a lot of things of immigration and citizenship. Loll but many don’t even know the first thing, the difference between permanent residence and citizenship. Immigration jail is referred to PR required living time in Canada. PR don’t have a Canadian passport and only citizens can have it. Once you are a Canadian citizen, you don’t need to live in Canada for a required time. China does not allow dual citizenship and that is why they try to scam the system to make up the living time in Canada.

Canada wants and needs people like that family who are here only to make a decent living and do not want to make trouble for us canadians...we are not racists but we don't like the muslims because they keep asking for special favors that are denied for us canadians and that is getting on the nerves of the population and Trudeau is the one responsible for this because he's the one who invited them over and now we are stuck with them because they are making trouble for us like they do all over the other countries who greeted them!!!But we intend to correct the situation by voting Trudeau and his liberals OUT and start cleaning up our country so it's livable again!

Kelly Pocha really seems to have a LOT of deep issues understanding what makes a person a Canadian citizen and beyond that who is required to pay Canadian taxes.

Take off the face covering! It makes Canadian women uncomfortable!

Canada has to move into the 21st century, if China's not importing illegal fentanyl and killing Canadians their defauding our gov't, like wake the fu@%up\nOur gov't i hate to say is incompetent makes me mad

Yea, but the immigrant ( all races) kids get far better grades in school, and that generation pays 30% tax every year of their 100k salary... They're the ones that gonna take this country into next century of technologically advanced world. Issue with economy starts with the family. If you have single parent family and social issues.. kids aren't gonna make it in this highly competitive world. Please go to Google, facebook, Microsoft. .. you'll see immigrants left right and centre. Lets face the facts, immigrant mentality is what builds a proper county. First generation immigrants are lost and weird and seems odd, second generation is the cream of the crop . Third slows down then 4th is basically are the ones complaining about the first generation. Solution is to use these people and figure out how they will help this county in the next 30 years, not tomorrow. Look at how Irish, Ukrainian, Chinese, Italian etc.. came as first gen immigrants (to this native land). Cold.. lost.. try to use their wits to survive in a colonial economy. That second generation built what we have now. Immigration is a god damn economical strategy man... Issue with homelessness, has nothing to do with immigration. Homelessness is related to addiction and mental health. Most immigrants don't suffer from homelessness because they have relatives that look after each other. 3rd generation+ Canadians (all races) lack that.. if you're 18 you are own your own, thats where that issue is with homelessness.

We need info how 2 move permanently 2 US since Canada is no longer livable.taxes and property prices is simply unbelievable. LiberAls collect taxes and spend it on ISIS & refugees families here. We hardly make 4k per month while my neighbor refugees from ISIS gets 12k per month from Canadian government that's 144k per year. I was blown away when i heard it. Advice to all skilled people just leave Canada it's not for us.

canada has to look to the United States and opposition to the United States to form its own identity. there isnt a canadian culture strong enough to say 'yeah i am canadian. this is what makes me canadian'. instead, ''what makes me canadian is that i am not american!''

What I would like to know is why in the case of roxum road crossing we never saw any US officials there stopping people from illegally leaving the US hmmm! We had the RCMP there all be it as bellboys but they were a least present. I am glad I love Canada and the fact I dont want to leave, this is tought o watch because as a Canadian with Canadian values when we see people in trouble this nation has always offered help to others less fortunate. It is what makes us unique and respected by the world or at least it was until Trudeau got in.

She’s not Canadian. She’s Native Indian. She even makes Canadians look bad. She can’t even pronounce Canadian the right way.

she's a poor miserable soul. Canadians shouldn't be racist but some are and makes all of canada look bad

What killed me is she was eligible for the Working Poor Tax Credit. It goes to show how easy these rules are to exploit. Someone could sit down and calculate exactly what they need to make, how many children they need to have, what activities to pursue etc so they can gain access to all these tax benefits. Make the most money while paying the least tax. There was an article in the nation post about this which discussed Trudeau's statement that the poor do not pay tax. It is crazy the tax credits people get and it makes it so something like close to 40% of people do not actually pay tax. Its one thing when working canadian's benefit, but not Chinese business people who come here, buy a house, maintain their status under false pretenses, then get credits for being poor.

I remember when my family immigrated here over 15+ years ago and my brother was only 1 years old. 2 weeks after coming here he slipped on the floor and cut open his forehead on the hinges of our door and he was bleeding everywhere (he later had to get 6 stitches to fix it), my father was out working and we didn't know how to contact the police or hospital because we didn't have a home phone yet. We used our neighbors and the ambulance came and I strictly remember that because we didn't have our health cards yet they wouldn't start work even though my father said he will pay when he gets there. I remember my mother and I feeling helpless while my 1 year old brother was bleeding out (the hospital staff tried to stop the bleeding with cotton ball and bandage) and I distinctly remember that they did not start helping my brother even WHILE my father was paying but only started work after the bill was completed. Even though my family felt helpless at that time and we felt it was unfair, we never blamed Canada because it was their policy and they have every right to follow protocols. So it makes me angry to see people who walked into our country illegally getting far better treatment than my family ever got even though it might not be anything as life threatening as ours was. It makes me angry that our hard earned tax dollars are used to help people who have no motivation to help the country that gave them asylum during war.. It's actually the opposite as a lot of these families call their free housing "disgusting" and compare it to "living like a slave". I'm angry because little girls at my brothers own school are getting shoved and assaulted by refugee boys as young as 6-7 and are let off with a simple "don't do that again" and a meeting with the parents. This is not the Canada my family came to love and call home so I can't imagine the hardships of Canadians who are living here for 3, 4, 5+ generations 😔😔

The Canadian court should fine him twice the amount that he got illegally from his clients. If he has made tens of millions of dollars and yet he was only fined a few hundred thousand dollars, then there is no justice. It is not even a deterrent for the second or third or fourth Wang. If the price of making millions of dollars was to sit in jail for two years, then there is no justice at all. Toughen up the penalty.

That #Maple leaf is so out of control!! Torturing random terrorist and making the Canadian tax payer pay for it...\nDame you little #Maple leaf.... It's you.. let's blame the maple leaf!!! LOL

Wang makes life difficult for all the Chinese Canadians who immigrated legally. His punishment was far too lenient. Smoking weed in the U.S. gets a much stiffer sentence!

so canada is making people follow their immigration laws. so why are people criticizing the US for making people follow their immigration laws? canada is soooo welcoming ? i dont think so! full of canadian liberal propaganda! if so welcoming then take ALL the people in the migrant caravan in mexico. take them all!

canada has become little asia ... the amount of indians, pakistanis, Philippines, koreans and Chinese here is staggering ... you'd think after getting off the plane you where in some asian country ... in canada they make up 42% of the population where African Canadians makeup less than 7%

Canadian Christians do not want to be Dhimmis (highly taxed non-Muslims). And I dont want to pay taxes so that someone can stay home on welfare because their dress code makes it impossible for them to work. I have to work to earn money for my family too.

Anyone is welcomed to Canada except for such kind of scammers! Those who believed him are not victims at all, they know what they're doing and they just want Canadian citizenship on one hand and make quick money in China on the other hand!

Canadian government brings them so they can make $$$ millions don’t be surprised at all I don’t blame Trudeau bcz Stephan Harper did more than that. Do you remember the Canadian ambassador to China ?? What he did ?? He made millions of dollars by cheating and giving visas to Chinese when they found out he was sent to retirement plus his salary for life plus$$$ millions in Belize ?? lol. \nWho made the real estate so expensive??? I DONT TRUST THE GOVERNMENT EVER

Canada,with our softness and above reality political correctness is it's own worst enemy.! \nIn China it's a way of life corruptions,,Chinese business men makes every months dinner reunions to discuss and celebrate how they've scammed western countries companies,this is not a joke..\nOur gentleness is not in tune with how the rest of the peoples of this planet are behaving.!\nI aint no racist,but i do have a little critical thinking,lately Canada is not acting in it's best future interest allowing anyone's to cross our border and being welcoming to peoples with invaders mentality and beliefs... \nWe even tolerate the Ontario islamic party that vow the destruction of our culture and our way of life...\nGo read their agenda,,any Canadian in for sharia.???\nIt's time to wake up before it's to late like in Europe.!

Liberals aren’t helping the issue. They are sabotaging the efforts of moderate Muslims to help women attain equality by promoting the ludicrous notion that somehow nikab and hijab is feminist. If a white Canadian woman was to join a cult where she was being exploited , they’d all rally to get her out of it instead of saying “well it’s her choice”. As a woman who once wore it, it isn’t just a garment. It is not a bloody hoodie. It makes you second class simply by virtue of wearing it. It ghettoises those women. They will find it harder to integrate even WITHIN their own community, ie with other more liberal Muslims. They’ll only hang out with each other, and their beliefs become more fundamentalist. It is anything but freeing. It’s a cage.\nFarzana is a hero.

This is a pretty misleading video.\nYes, our minimum wage went up to $14/h compared to the rest of Canada, however keep in mind it had to accommodate to the cost of living. You're lucky if you can even find a LEGAL small 1 bedroom basement for $800/month. Its not common. \nA car? Brampton has the highest insurance premium in all of Canada. \n\nDon't get me wrong. I LOVE Canada, I couldn't see myself living anywhere else because it is my home. \nHowever, when you compare it to india, in India you're only paying for electricity, gas, and food that you need to buy at the grocery store. \nBut if you really needed to budget and save money, food is LITERALLY growing in your backyard! All the veggies, fruits, etc. You just need to buy the grains and proteins! \n1.5 lakhs sounds great per month. But 1.5 lakhs is realistically not enough to live in Canada. \n\nDon't believe me? Google cost of living in Canada. Google how much a family of 4 would need to make to survive per month in Canada. Also, make sure to check out CANADIAN WEBSITES for this data. (.ca sites or try Global News or CTV news since they have this data)\n\nThe problem is everyone that comes to Canada always comes only to one area which is usually Toronto! However this makes the cost of living go up to accommodate this many people. Compared to Regina, or St. John's not many people immigrate there! It is a smaller city compared to Toronto but at least it's more affordable.\nDo you're research before coming here. Find out whats the best situation for YOUR FAMILY and what YOU can afford. \nCanada is a beautiful place, and yes, Brampton does have a lot of the Punjab culture, but don't be fooled. Be prepared when you come to Canada so you don't have such set backs once here. \n\nHope this helps!!

This is disgusting Canada can’t even help their own people. Why are these sheeple getting 50000. A lot of Canadians don’t even make that! Very disgusting!

Bring your poor, your unskilled and Justin Trudeau, with Canadian tax dollars, (not his because he shelters this taxes by using banks outside Canada) will make sure you get all the benefits you need to live a stress free life.

All of us hard working Canadians should stop paying taxes right away its not fair that we all work and they stay home laughing at Canadians pe make a stand dont pay your 2018 taxes pass the word

Wow what a beautiful commercial once again trying to project the refugees at the expense of the Canadian tax payer ... how much to make this CBC ? What ever just add it to the crushing debt we will pay for years to come thanks Liberals!!

Why canadian make love dogy position? So both can see hockey....not smart at all.

OH CANADA OH CANADA MY HEART BLEEDS FOR YOU NOT !\nYOU WANTED THEM KNOW YOU THEM ! GOOD LUCK WITH THEM !\nPLENTY OF ISLAMIC COUNTRIES FOR THEM TO PRACTICES THEIR RELIGION ! SORRY NO HAND OUTS THOUGH ! THEY MAKE THEM WORK !\nA CANADIAN FAMILY WENT TO AN ISLAMIC COUNTRY & PRAYED TO GOD, GOT BEATEN UP & DEPORTED !\nTHEY WHERE TOLD NOT IN OUR GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM !

You as a male ... Husband and father, You put your family in danger by bringing them into Canada illegally. That makes you a crimminal in the eyes of the Canadian Government and peoples.

This is the most biased Canadian propaganda I've ever heard. I was standing in line at city hall in Calgary (paying my past due power bill which I can barely afford, even though I make 40k a year.) and watched a flood of immigrants in front of me claiming their 100% free bus passes. Apparently, you need an authorisation letter from welfare to claim your free bus pass, yet, none of them seemed to have documentation that matched their id. One guy picked up six free bus passes with a stack of letters that didn't match his name, or, even surname, at all. The cashiers seemed like they had just given up and handed over the bus passes saying, "next time make sure the person named in the letter is here to pick it up in their free pass person." <sigh>

Everyone should have access to legal aid. That's a given. There's no way to justify any of the other payments while Canadians are living below the poverty line and can't qualify for welfare. Our Veterans are waiting over a year for every application they make for services. Somebody has their priorities mixed up. And why aren't we prosecuting people who cross the border illegally? If I did it, I would be charged.

Makes me embarrassed to be a Candian if she's the Canadian Poster Child.

Thousands of Canadian families have parents that leave their families for work. Why is vice making it look like it’s so sad this guy has to do it.

Canada was founded only for white Europeans. It was never intended for people of colour. Even the indigenous aboriginals and enslaved Africans who were and are part of the story of Canada but written out of the official Canadian history books are not wanted here either. There is a secret plan to ethnically cleanse the country by eventually removing all people of colour from the country. The United States is also moving in that direction. The profiling is intended as a micro aggression to make non whites feel uncomfortable and mentally damaged and to push immigrants of colour out of the country.

Vancouver only excepts Millionaire Chinese and Asians people fact they had so many they had to make new rules for them buying in Vancouver. Funny isn't what the South American ( Canadian) diplomat speaking to people in Cali saying the same thing Trump is and the right. Only he is using a accent and not having to be so forceful because the leaders before him dint bend over backward to help break the laws. But Trumps the bad guy for pounding his fist and doing what the American people elected him to do.
