Are you moving to Mexico or Thailand ???\n\nGood luck, Alina.\nCome back to Canada at Xmas time.

We are in the process of leaving Canada as well. Possibly permanent. We have come to Canada 22 years ago. We can live a good life with even one minimum wage when we first arrived Canada. It was a dream land for everybody. Today, we are double income professionals in Saskatchewan and still feel living standard is poor. Grocery price is 5 or 10 times as when we first come to Canada. However, salary of average family barely increase. The spending of government is just out of control and make everybody poor. Canada is on a rapid downhill path since Justin Trudeau become Premier Minister, I can't see this trend can be turned back in a short time.

The Canada I grew up in vs Canada today feel like two different countries. I literally feel like a foreigner in the country I was born in.

Lets be clear on this , We gave people a safe place to avoid religious persecution and war and they repay us with Violence and protesting , all of which has nothing to do with their Homeland in Canada

20 years ago Canada was a beautiful country. It is a cesspool now. It’s a shame. I come from a military family and I am truly thankful my father and grandfather aren’t alive to see what the country they fought for has become.

Canada has been broken for 50 years

I lived in Canada, as a British accent educated professional in Canada! You will never be part of their kindly, never!

Canada is not a white land. It was colonized by the European people 200 years ago.

Meanwhile Canada is created from European imigrants, mostly poor farmers. Btw, you are speaking French and English and not Canadian. Canadian immigrants who call themselve „natives” are so hiprcrites. You have nothing common with real Native Canadians. And now are crying that illegal immigration should be stopped. Greeting from UE country founded in X century.

Don’t move to Canada, it’s very bad and there is a lot of discrimination, especially against Asian and African people. You will regret it

Wow. White people forget they are also immigrants in North America continent. In Canada, the Inuits are the original people, as Native Americans/Indians are to the USA, and yet they are pushed off to the side in their own countries by caucasian immigrants/invaders.

My family came to Canada in the early 80s, invested over $200,000 for 3 businesses over 35 years, employing over 30 Canadians. That's what I thought immigration was, a contribution to Canada's growth in exchange for our citizenship. That Canada must gain something before I am allowed to live in this country. Apparently, that's no longer the case.

Canada is broken. If tenant does not pay rent they should be evicted within 30 days.

This should not be legal. That's messed up. They're taking those jobs from people that actually need those jobs. It's not easy for people in South Asian middle class families to get these jobs as their English is not fluent so these jobs go to privileged and educated families. They're getting the airline blacklisted by doing this, reducing jobs for the poor in their home country. This is selfish. As someone from a 3rd world country, this is dangerous. I've heard so many cases of people ending up as slaves because some idiot conned them into doing this. Canada also needs to look into corrupted politicians getting PR cause they bought land there through money laundering schemes in the home country. And these issues have existed even before Trudeau came into power. Stop blaming just 1 person, blame the entire system.

Just a reminder that the flight attendants are NOT the reason why Canada is getting more and more crowded lol I would be absolutely shocked if that made up more than 0.0001% of our immigration numbers

UK needs to immigrate more so Canada can recover

This is a big reason why foreign investors don't want to invest in Canada anymore.

They're streaming into the US from Canada to NYC by the (literally busloads) because NYC has a free housing policy for illegal immigrants. They are being housed while veterans are left on the streets - literally no room at the inn. Everybody is crying about illegal immigration at the SOUTHERN border, but don't complain about the illegal immigration at the NORTHER border. Didn't Trump build his 'big beautiful wall'? Did we not spend millions of taxpayer dollars on it? I know Mexico didn't pay a penny on it. I also know if illegal immigration is higher under Biden than Trump, his big beautiful wall is a big beautiful FAILURE.

This is Canada. They don't like each other in Canada

white illegal immigrant in canada think that's thier land lol

Canada has no right to be angry with immigrants after destroying iraq Afghanistan etc alongwith USA NATO

Sounds like Canada needs guns

Rising unemployment is real. So many people were victims of unemployment in Canada especially the foreigners who live there.

Rent in Canada will turn like New York

I believe the government should take a more proactive approach to managing the number of people admitted into Canada, ensuring a balanced and equitable distribution. It's important to avoid scenarios where larger groups overshadow smaller ones, which could lead to future challenges. Additionally, we should aim to prevent issues similar to the riots currently happening in the UK.

meanwhile most of young canadian leave their country to work outside canada... GUD LUCK with your country canada..

They became strict with the legal applicants with qualification. They prioritize those with no proper betting, that's why it destroyed the process. Atleast woth the legal, they can control the skilled applicants, and can see who and what skill Canada needed (no surplus).

Ive lived here my entire life and sadly have seen canada go from a have to a have not country .From medical care to the subway that has taken more than a decade we are in bad shape .

How is bringing in tens of thousands of Uber drivers and people with no skills supposed to make Canada prosperous ?? The hard-working taxpayers are supporting these immigrants and we are being drained!

Canada sucks

i'm french Canadian, a went to USA 6 times... only to go to Walt Disney... i would never live there... but i love Disney ! i wish we had one in Canada, but we will never, because it's too cold here

This is Trudeau's and Jagmeet's Canada. Landlords can not kick out tenants from their own homes. it is just ridiculous. In this country you don't have the right to own and protect your home. If someone can't pay, they should leave.\nThanks to all who voted Trudeau and Jagmeet

41k for an apartment is very extreme there should be laws to keep under 41k. people who are charging 41 for an apartment are the people who hurting our economy. People are charging 41k for apartments is helping to drive insane housing prices up. People are charging 41k for apartments making it possible for a 2008 housing crisis style accour in Canada.

Scapegoating? It's simple supply and demand, and nothing can change it. Socialism won't fix it, importing impoverished people won't fix it, legislation won't fix it. You have to attract people with the proper skillsets to make the country and city better. Having a booming population and no room to grow doesn't do that. The California Bay Area and Los Angeles area has already seen the problems this causes, companies and skilled workers are moving to places that they can afford to live and build companies. With more people comes less opportunities, Canada needs to learn from the mistakes of others. Do not take everyone, take those who want a better life but can also give back to the country.

The issue is not with immigrants or immigration, rather a lack of social structures. Canada has one of the highest taxation, with the lowest return spending on social structures, as compared to their high ranking counter parts.

CANADA HAS FALLEN,it’s not immigrant fault it’s CORRUPT POLITICIAN . WEAK MEN AND CORRUPT MILITARY

I just saw a report in the US and probably Canada as well. They reported on the amount of truck drivers retiring and they don’t have enough drivers coming up the pike that will stay with it.

If Canada is complaining,then,there is a problem

Why do you think? Canada is a third world nation.

Let’s put it this way. If Canada limited the immigration, there would be a shortage of workers, not housing, and theoretically everyone’s wages would increase.

Joe biden just let a lot of people in believe me if they don't get what they need here they will go to Canada

I really hope the Canadian government can understand that immigration is not the problem but the allocations. There should be more medium size cities in Canada like US and by allocating immigrates to those area the population will then grow in a heathy way.

people living in parks, no sanitary, wow, what a disastrous situation, no skills, no jobs, language barrier, is this immigration?, sinking into deep hole, let more people in and make Canada a 2nd world country, instead of having skilled migration system, now suffer, and let everyone involved suffer and more homeless on street, scavenging for food, and more crime rates rising, Fault your Immigration System

Happened to us, our tenants were in our home and owe is $35K in rent. Meanwhile had a 100k SUV in their driveway. Canada is a joke?

Time to stop all immigration. We are no longer Canada. It might as well be called India.

Canada government should not bring any people for the next 4 years. And if they bring people they should stay other provinces for atheist 5 years not Ontario province specially TORONTO.

My advise to landlords, do not rent to “such” people. Newcomers on work permits or student visas are a better bet because they will pay out of fear of losing their credit or status in Canada

Are we going to tell the truth? Is it because there's too much immigration. Or is it all of a sudden? There's just too many Indians in Canada and how are they coming in?

Canada will be like Afganistan when still permit immigrant coming

Canada isn't a nation of immigrants at all. Canadians are the descendants of immigrants the same as everyone else on the planet, including the indigenous. That is, unless your family has never left the place where humans first evolved.\n\nUnlike modern immigrants, the first white settlers in north America did not sail into an established society with power stations, health care, water and power distribution networks etc., to get the benefit of other people's hard work and investment. They started from scratch.
