Lack of housing and increased cost of living that is exceeding income growth seems to be a problem in many first world countries. In Canada we need to cool immigration until we have caught up with the housing needs of the people already here so its a good thing that people don't want to come here.

Let's face it, Canada just want to import skilled labors to do non-skill jobs to suppress wages, keep the fuel on for house prices so that the jobs depending on housing stays put.

Ultimately it is overpopulation. Yes, even CANADA is overpopulated. Lol you say BUILDING is the issue! That is just a dodge. Population increase is bad for everything.

I'm an Indigenous Canadian and I don't want to live here. Canada is a good place to live for rich people though. If you come from a poor family it truly sucks. Can't wait to finish university and move out of here. ?

Do not worry Canada is the second largest country in the world behind Russia, and Canada never invaded like Russia, if the Ukraine war keeps up Canada might become the largest country in the world.

You fail to see that many Indian IT employees see Canada as a Stepping stone till the US Visa gets cleared . I know many fellow indians who first work for microsoft in Canada , then once they have canadian PR moved to microsoft headquarters in US. Same is true for Indian students . It is easier and cheaper to get a MBA or Masters in Electrical engineering in UToronto than in a top US university . Most Students who travel to Canada for education , leave for jobs in US .

Canadians don’t want you coming here! Regardless of what you hear the feckless, government funded, media hacks say, the fact is, the Canadian People do not want you USA rejects, Or any other illegal immigrants invading Canada! Trudeau, stating that he speaks for all Canadians is an outright LIE! If “Canadians” had their fair say, Trudeau would be LONG GONE!! We despise Trudeau, and we despise illegal migrants!

The Canadian Experience only applies to non European and non Latino Immigrants. Europeans and Latinos can find a job the 2nd in Canada.

Healthcare is not free in Canada. We pay for healthcare from part of our paycheque. Now we also have private healthcare which costs more than the public healthcare but it is readily available, as long as you have the extra money to pay for medical services that you can have almost on demand.

Canada doesn't owe anyone economic migrant immigration approval that's for sure. I understand the economic migrant immigrants perspective however.

I think most Asians are leaving Canada. I'm Asian and I'm about to leave after 16 years here, my classmates back in college left already with their parents... My parents left too. I just have to sell my condo and I'll be gone. Canada is just too expensive, the pay is SHT, and it's too cold, it doesn't make sense to live here, like I have lived in Southeast Asia and I think it's much better especially if you start a business. Also China is growing, it's both a great market and a source of goods, ASEAN is rapidly growing especially in the tech sector, South Korea is dynamic as ever, and Japan is begging for immigrants now and they have preference for Asians like how Canada has preference for members of the Commonwealth.

Im planning my retirement not!! In Canada...

Im a school teacher, my parents immigrated to Canada from Hong Kong. Trust me. Canada is sh-t, dirty, dangerous, and racist. Hong Kong is 1000x safer and better than Canada lol

Should investigate foreign buyers who buy Canadian houses and ppl aren't living in them\n\nOr foreign buyers who buy huge quantities of Canadian land and don't develop it.\n\nHow canada got to where it's at is just baffling, how the price of living in buildings that are paid for but regulated ppl to pay well over what they earn and struggle sound like Captilistism.

There is a MAFIA in India to grant HE opportunities in Canada for money Thousands of Indian students were duped and by the time Canadian authorities learn this strategy lakhs of Indians have gone to Canada on fraudulent admission letters. Indian parents wants their children to get a Canadian degree and then a work permit to ensure a successful marriage partner and this has become a norm. Even knowledge of English is essential but even without English knowledge these students were successful due to the influence of the agents

Not only immigrants.. as citizen, i am considering leaving.. trudeau if you are concern and love canada.. sacrifice and step down for pete's sake..

The longer you stay in Canada the poorer you get. \n\nThe communist regime's economic policy of suicide and death for profit is not a growth society but a Malthusian death cult nightmare. The fact that the only fertility celebrations they have are gay pride parades, says it all. \n\nCommunism doesn't work and always ends in oceans of tears and mountains of dead bodies

Sikh? rock's in Canada by they're jugad?

Canada immigration is like the biggest ponzi scheme, they let u in and squeeze u dry b4 u leave, if it wasnt these unsuspecting immigrants, this country would've bankrupted long ago

They come to they're own doom.\nTheres no where for immigrants to live.\nThey would be crazy to want to come here to Canada now.

Immigration is not the problem, foreign intervention is,and we just stood around as our government announced that they are aware of Chinese spies within our government…Canada had a declining birthrate, we can’t keep up with our NATO budget and are about to get kicked out, we have a lack of infrastructure, “let them eat cake” but instead of cake it’s taxes to “save the planet in 100 years” Canadians are gonna save the world okay…. Immigration is not the problem. Our way of governing and our entitled upbringing have resulted in this problem. We just go oh well okay that sucks.\n\nWe have lots of workable land, oil,raw materials and lots of it, in an area that is very livable compared to say the Amazon. Did you really think the world is just gonna let us hide it away to have something pretty to look at while the world starves? Sure we don’t have to care and it’s not our problem to police the world, But eventually they will want what we have. It’s not immigration it’s foreign intervention and “investment” other nations and the UN will cry and say it’s not fair that we keep it all undeveloped. And they are right, it’s not fair… for the people who already live here, not for the ones you want to setup a work Visa for.\n\nWhy do you think the west and russia are fighting for Ukraine, we know it’s not for justice or the children like they say by now. It’s about Ukraine produces most of the world grain.\n\none day it will be us.

Canada is a country of woke sbowflakes lmao

Canada is becoming a shit country compared to Australia. Can't even imagine why people compare these two countries

I was born in Canada, my Mom was too. Yet things are getting so out of hand with the price of living we have to leave the city ive spent my entire life in, to try and find cheaper housing elsewhere.

Im not against immigration and multiculturalism but is unfair to bring people to Canada promising a brighter future and having them face hardships of our housing prices, high cost of food, failing medical system. Insuring a disadvantaged Canadian population.

Our problems are liberal's and government funded media... canada is already gone

Just wait Troodles is planning to bring in over half a million Palestinians into Canada real soon

Worsening Canada ??

,.....we need to take care of Canadians first, you know the ones that built this nation, created a country of fairness and compassion? and here's a point that will enrage the uneducated woke: limit immigration from Islamic nations.....look at Poland, they are protectting their Polish identity and way of life, why do Canadians not see the same issue??? unless you want your country to look like France or Great Britain. This country has changed for the worse. And unfortunately Islam is not a religion/ideology that can be integrated into western liberal democracies easily. Read the Koran folks its not like Christianity....its not about equality and fairness unless you are muslim perhaps... their Prophet was a warlord killing thousands and enslaving thousands, he married a 9 year old and consummated that marriage when she was 12 and he was 54. If you believe in God , pretty sure he didn't send Jesus to earth to preach peace and forgiveness and then , an all knowing God Changes his mind and brings us Mohammed, who kills and enslaves?? And addressing current issues, Canadian passport holders who choose to live in Gaza, which has no rights for women, LGBTQ, and especially jews and whose leaders drafted a charter calling for death of ALL jews, sounds more like NAZI Germany, well they do not belong in Canada. There are plenty of surrounding muslim nations they can go to.

Most coming to Canada understood that coming to Canada they would receive tons of free benefits, but now living here they find that regular citizens deal with the same problem every day.

I'm planning to move there. Planning to invest in Canada. ??

the unemployment rate in canada is 5.8% higher than the UK, its hard to get jobs

Quebec is a culture of leaches with no clue of what it takes to keep the wheels of Canadas economy turning.

Are you guys talking about toronto or canada. On this matter africans will care less coz they know back home is worst. The reason the motivation is high from Africans to move to canada

Canada is depressing

Chokor millionaire please l want my son to discuss with you how to migrate to Canada he has his paper already

Canada has high rent, poor infrastructure and high inflation and is just not a viable place to live in because of the poor choices of Justin Trudeau .

can you meet friends in Canada? I heard it's hard to do that?

I apologize for my country. Most of us never wanted Canada to become what it is now.

From asia, My sister have a PHD credential, even i used to encourage her to seek for a better quality of life in this country, bcoz the good opportunity in Singapore is packed, no more good job left, so i always encourage her to go canada, except for canada, I can't think of a good place for her to go... United States is too dangerous for the people like my tiny sister, many Australians are racist to Asian, so my final result will always been canada, there's no more option for Asian...i speaking the truth.

Canada is tundra region. Historically humans never lived in masses above tropics mean humans are not biologically conditioned to live in that region. All pure or majority Anglo Saxon nation like UK, Canada, Australia and NZ have high property prices by design as it gives false sense of prosperity among service class if export is not huge. Canada and Australia has resources but what Australia has is good weather compared to Canada which is not really suitable for humans. To live in such conditions humans need to earn much in excess of what rest of the world earns else new immigrants will ditch Canada for other comfortable places to immigrate to.

Well, you have to ask yourself. What are the incentives of staying in Canada? It is unlivable pretty much 8 out of 12 months, so that is more than half of your year spent suffering. Plus, you pay high taxes and high cost of living while your Government steals and give your tax money away to foreign countries. Plus health care is pathetic. Only idiots will stay and be slave to the Government. Life is too short to be staying miserable in this country.

Hello ma’am,\nCan I apply for a master's degree that lasts for two years and get a work permit for three years, enabling me to apply for PR?\nI really don’t know how it works, but I’m so confused at this moment. I have been in the UK for over 6 years, and I haven’t gotten anything yet. I wish to move to Canada, but I don’t want to make a wrong move that I would regret later on in life.\n\nWhat province would you recommend ma’am?

“ I think I wasted my life coming to Canada “ lololol

Life is hard for immigrants but why do they think they deserve to live in Canada's most expensive city when many Canadians can't live there ?

If all newcomers insist on settling in Toronto or Vancouver, then yes, it's unaffordable. And I don't disagree with an Iranian trained architect requiring further training to work in Canada. IMO that is not a fully transferable skill.

because canada becomes totalitarian state. as simple as that. like australia, uk and new zealand.

Actually, the fact that there are so many agencies that supposedly help homeless people doesn't mean that help can be accessed so easily. In fact, there is an extreme shortage of housing in Canada and all shelters are full, mentally ill and homeless folks can not be placed in regular shelters, the right approach would be rehabilitation centers. Unfortunately, rehabilitation centers are for profit. \nSo it's hard to say what exactly they are spending those billions on.

It's funny Canada recorded an increase in population, someone paid for this story, I wonder who?

Kamchor kahi bhi kaam nahi kar salta india ho ya canada kammchor kahi bhi jaye usko dikkat hogi
