This country sucks and it's politicians. This is not the Canada that we knew in the 80’s

Indians take Canada PR to get easy access to US visa ?

Under Trudope & Jagmeet, Canada has become way to expensive.

Canada is garbage country Mr Trudeau is fighting with india to win election cote bank where Tata INDIA employees more than canada population I wasted my life in canada cold country where most immigrants uneducated from Afghanistan Morocco Alexia Syria etc

I've been in Canada for 27 years and Justin Trudeau's policies are really destroying the country. Immigration is key to the development of Canada, but not so high in so little time.

Just because you’re qualified to be a doctor in some 3rd world country doesn’t mean you should get to practice here. Canada already has an issue with doctors giving insufficient care the last thing we need is to let the equivalent of witch doctors start practicing medicine here

They are realizing Canada isn’t what’s being advertised. Canadians are suffering. Adding immigrants to the pile of suffering is wonderful. Thanks canada

Came from Germany to Canada about a decade ago and I am looking to leave. Canada has too many problems and is unwilling to change anything to improve.\nHealth Care is trash, prices too high, rents unaffordable in a lot of cities, too many immigrants from countries that have a different culture. That rips society apart in the long-term.

People are leaving communist Canada because of dictator Trudeau also known as Adolf Trudeaulf

Saw the writing on the wall 15 years ago left for warmer, more hospitable pastures. Socialism has slowly destroyed what 'was' Canada. I visit often. Some friends are multi-millionaires from property market, others live literally paycheque to paycheque renting and can't get ahead. Looks nothing socially or economically like the country I immigrated to in the late 80s.

Too many Punjabi Sikh criminals ??‍♂️??‍♂️??‍♂️ in Canada ??

Good bye bye we cant afford to take care of our own people let alone a bunch of people who want to get on the welfare gravy train. We need skilled trades people and antrepreneurial people , Trudeau has destroyed our economy along with the Biden lefty democrats in the States . NORTH AMERICA ESPECIALLY CANADA IS IN BIG TROUBLE.

How many commenting here are born in Canada and unemployeed?

I have m a citizen since 2006 and I will leave canda to go to the USA because Canada is an unfair country , racists I lost 17 years to do my equivalent and I made bankruptcy and divorced because this stupid system

The feds try to attract immigrants but at the same time the moment you step into Canada as a professional immigrant, your degree or previous foreign credentials turn into garbage. ? And the feds entice you to turn into the skilled trades cuz that is what they need, instead of foreign trained doctors or nurses etc.

You are doing a great job\nPlease can my son get connection in Borden in Manitoba through you, he lives in Vietnam and want to relocate to Canada. He has sat for IELTS exam and he has being asked to forward his documents but its remains connection. Please how can you help please

Canada is becoming unaffordable for even the middle-class, while oil companies, grocery stores & bank shareholders enjoy tax breaks. Owning a home has become impossible for many, many people now and, they see the writing on the wall.

Reason is Justinder Trudeau and Canada's policy of getting immigrants in quantity (not focusing on quality).

Easy to immigrate and obtain a passport. But to live Canada is not that good. Post pandemic it has almost become 3 rd world like. Terrible

Big oversight here. Immigration credential fraud was/is a big reason many immigrants have had to re-educate in Canada. The cheats/bad eggs in the past who bought their diplomas or forged their credentials had destroyed a very welcoming country, hence the reason for this in the first place.\nAlso, asking Canadians to send out welcoming committees to new arrivals is another great way to irk Canadians who have always been way more friendly and opening than most.

The government could try to incentivise families to have more children. Canada like most Western nations has a low birthrate that does not replace itself, therefore immigration is needed to fill in the population gaps. So long as couples have one child or less, the government will have to turn to immigration. A declining population would devastate the economy. Don't believe the hype that not having kids is a favour to your country, it's not, they'll just import others.

Are they leaving Canada or are they leaving Quebec?

Way to expensive to live in Canada. Trudeau government has ruined the economy for all hard working Canadians.

Come to Canada then get a Canadian passport and go home. Any problems that Canadian passport come handy.

the immigrants that are coming to Canada are realizing that we are not a sovereign country at all. Our leaders pretend to be independent but they actually are willing to sacrifice the Canadian people for the sake of their handlers in Washington.\n\nThe job of a satellite, puppet state is to sacrifice itself at the command of its masters. The leaders of Canada, are doing this perfectly.

Canada is the steeping stone to the United States ??

I think that some immigrants use Canada normally as a stepping stone to the States, more now because of our high cost of living.

If I could Financially afford to literally move from Canada with my family I would and Id be headed to Texas or somewhere else where they don't piss on their people and their freedoms.

Canada taught me that never give activists political power.

I am a c++ programmar moved to canada 5 years ago looking for a job in tech . Three years of searching not found any job in tech . i did cleaning, taxi driver and restaurant job just get by . I was working in a very reputable company in back home. I made a mistake was move to Canada.

Canada is no longer a top option for people for many reasons but the main reason for a massive decline in this country is how things degraded since Justin Trudeau and the Liberals took office. i have never seen our country this bad my entire life. its almost unrecognizable. a leader who blocks foreign interference investigations in our elections has something to hide. this government is corrupt not only Canadians see it, but the world sees it.

The government has made a Canada a place where there is no way for an average middleclass earner to raise a family we are simply taxed to death. Anyone who wants to have a chance to put a roof over their head and not be slaved to this new form of Corporate Robber Baren basically has to leave Canada. This is a nice place to live its has way too many laws and regulations but it still is relatively safe and has a better than average School and Healthcare system. However we are taking in way more people than the system can handle and the only way to pay for it is to raise taxes and the cycle continues.

canada is no more like before. its dumping garbage of poor arab countries who are not good for the economy and ultimately people are paying high taxes for the refugees from arab world

Canada is a TRAP you end up being a SLAVE cost of living much to high and your Taxed to hell.

It’s not just Toronto and Vancouver it’s in every city and town in Canada we are all 1 paycheck missing will end us up homeless. Doesn’t matter the age or make or female. These numbers are way low

Those are citizens for interest and the moment they got their passport its time to kick Canada out

Over the past 3 years, and especially in 2023, I saw that immigrants from India literally flocked in high numbers to the small norther town where I've lived for decades. They're now the majority of workers in most retail positions. This influx has caused severe housing shortages. These newcomers aren't working in the construction industry. Some of them are buying and renting houses, driving up the housing prices dramatically. EVERYBODY is now suffering from the hyperinflation on housing prices and everything else. Our quality of life has plummeted. It isn't rocket science: allow huge influx of immigrants, and inevitably the result will be inflation, lower wages for competing workers, increased housing prices and dire housing shortages. Whoever planned this must have been aiming at destroying Canada.

What they was thinking Canada is goldmine ?

I lived in Canada since I was 19 years old, for 13 years, and I finally left for Switzerland 3 weeks ago. Trudeau broke Canada and turned into a very dark and depressing place.

Canada is going to became like Venezuela in 20 years. The country is not managed properly, corrupted etc. I’m going back to Europe.

For years the government in Canada has forced people of Canada to pay the highest taxes and helped the richest 10-15 families buy all businesses across Canada protecting them from free market competition. Nothing has changed in the last 50 years and nothing will change in the next 50 years. Best to accept the reality or move to another country.

Would be curious as to the whole conversation. Did he say anything positive about Canada or was this bit cherry picked?

Send all punjabi students back he's all criminal Trudeau hatao canada bacho

This is poor journalism. Yes there is a spike of 31% increase of Immigrants choosing to leave canada; That may sound significant until you break the numbers down. Between 1982 to 2017, an average of 0.9% of immigrant chose to leave Canada. That is for every 1000 immigrants, 90 will change their mind and leave Canada. In 2019, that figure jump to 1.18% from 0.9%. That is in 2019, 118, instead of 90, will chose to leave Canada for every 1000 immigrants. Again, 0.9% to 1.18% represents 31% increase, but lets put things in context and not make mountains out of mold hills.

It s ridiculous canada dont value my job experience and the only way is manufacturing and manufacturing. And the immigration policy is keep changing every single month causing incredible confusion all the time.

When you have a large chunk of Canada being ran by xenophobic premieres who don't wanna get with the program, this will continue to be an issue for the next decade at least

combination of things imo... cost of living in places you want to live are expensive.. you can relocate to places that are cheaper, but they are cheaper for a reason.. usually remote with bad weather... the weather in general in canada is not ideal for most and we don't have the options like the usa has. taxes as well

Canada is already too full, housing is scarce, and decent paying jobs are nonexistence. But the rich want cheap labor and that's what they're going to get. While Canadians are getting addicted to drugs.

Cant blame them for leaving. Trudeau turning Canada into a lawless dump.

Can't imagine how horrible their home countries are to want to come to Trudeau's Canada during high and worsening inflation. maybe they have an outdated image of Canada?
