The baseline is a that Canada has a responsibility to its citizens but has no obligation to foreign persons. Clearly more could be done with less by promptly rejecting of applications except for short list skill sets. Person with problematic political beliefs should be deported ASAP. Canada doesn’t need foreign demonstrators and Canada haters in the country and should take action similar to Italy.

Lived in Canada for almost 40 years. Worked in USA for 5 years 25 years ago. I did make a lot more money in USA then, luckily, I was in my 20s and almost never seen a doctor in my 5 years in the USA. \nThank God I didn't get into any accident while there. \n\nIn general, I observed many people in the USA are not good neighbors. Simple observation, ex you drive and merge into a lane in a busy SF Bay Highway you need to fight hard to get into a lane. In BC, Canada, merging lanes is very orderly, each vehicle takes turn merging into a lane one entering from one lane and then another vehicle from another lane with respect and consideration. \nIn the USA, I think it is this brutal mentality translates into policy in health care and education, you are not responsible to help your community in any way and take while you can for yourself.

Why is it the Canadian citizens' responsibility to have enough staff to meet the demand? Explain that to me? So if every human on Earth wanted to come to Canada, the Canadian people are doing something wrong if a few people have to wait to be processed? Canada, oh Canada, look what happened to Europe. The U.S. can absorb these numbers of people; you can't.

A month ago, I visited a shop called AMR Fruiterie in Montreal, Canada. I asked an Indian lady about the price of a vegetable, but her response was shockingly rude. Since then, I've started avoiding this store and now prefer shopping at Metro. It’s more expensive, but the experience is worth it.

Looking back at this video now is hilarious, this is what complete incompetency and utter mismanagement looks like and the consequences are real for the liberals in 2025. We were in NO position to be martyrs since Canada was already struggling domestically. Look at the comments from 2 years ago, people told the Liberals “No” and they did not listen. \n\nThe Liberals were selfish and abandoned their own country in this sense. Sean Fraser is a sellout and a joke, now he and Freeland are out of the picture but definitely responsible for Canada's current conditions of struggle and misery. \n\nFools....all of them.

These are east Indians coming from the UK. They had US visas from the UK. What is Canada to do when they are in transit passengers from the UK and given fake or real but seems fake US visas. All international intransit passengers dont go through customs at their stop over country. Its an international fact. The East indians knew that if they boarded their flight to the US they would get sent back to the UK and hence India so they decided to illegally cross our border. Canada could not have prevented this. But now that we know this is what they need to do , we along with the Americans should step up our security. They could be terrorists. For decades we lived with a non secure border now foreigners are fuc**ng with our safety. India take some responsibility. You boast on the world stage and scold others, well what do you have to say now. Canada and America should tax India for the time and resources they have had to use since Moody says India is the 5th largest economy and they have money. Please if you want to come do it legally.

there are racists everywhere, Canada included, immigrants are not responsible for Canadas ills.

Wait... Aren't Americans responsible for their own border? Why is it Canada's problem to control who goes to the States?

Shouldn’t USA be responsible to protect their own borders??\nHow is it that Canada’s issue?

As an Indian, I am aware of the many scams people are involved in just to stay in Canada. One of my acquaintances went to Canada with their family on an Express Entry PR. They are working full-time for cash while also claiming unemployment benefits from the Canadian government. I wonder what action the Canadian government would take against such scams. I hope my comment reaches someone responsible.

I live in Canada and, as an immigrant, I study alongside many Indians. One of the biggest challenges I’ve observed is the difficulty some people have in adapting to Canadian culture. Indians, like many other groups, have a very strong and vibrant cultural identity, which is absolutely valid and important. However, when you choose to live in a country that is not your own, there is a certain responsibility to adapt to the new culture. After all, you made the decision to move to a different country, and part of that decision involves immersing yourself in the local culture.

Are you kidding me. Are you not in Canada right now. Canada is now the most poor country in the World. Immigration has gone to the roof. No housing. Rents and forget about buying a house in BC, AB, Quebec, Ontario. High unemployment, Inflation is high and going up more. We also do not have a military defense system and the U.S. is tired of Canada not spending money to meet their responsibility as a Nato country. Many Canadians are leaving the country permanent. Investors and businesses are pulling out. Canada is trillions in debt but keep printing more money (toilet paper). Canada has gone downhill significantly over the past ten years. Born Canadians and legit immigrants having to go through a rigorous immigration process are very unhappy and cause conflict. Besides all the different ethnicities cause unrest and are ungrateful, daring the burn the Canadian flag, uttering death to Canada, death the US and Israel. These trouble makers have not intentions to assimilate into Canada's culture and are disrespectful to the Canadian government and it's citizens. Our youth are very unhappy and do not see a future for themselves yet have to work very hard and pay unbelievable high taxes. The minimum wages are only 15 bucks an hour which cannot sustain life here in this country. Please stop making false promises to foreigners to come here and be disappointed. This is not a country of milk and honey any longer but poor and enormous homelessness. Hunger, terrible health care, incredible post secondary tuitions and books. Now that president Trump has won the election he is going to place tariffs on Canadian goods and rightfully so. Russia is very interested in the Antarctica and should they or anyone invade Canada we got 3 days of ammunition. The food in AB is very bad for your health. Everything has pesticides, hormones, and by the time fruit and vegies arrive here from the US all the nutrition have gone. A extremely high cancer rate, young and old, diabetes, depression and other mental disorders are rampant. Our children and grandchildren do not have a future so why bother going to school or work. Our kids live on the streets, shelters, camping in the woods and using fentanyl and meth all kinds of dangerous drugs. The cities and small towns are full of used needles, pipes, and more paraphelia just thrown on the trails everywhere. The US will not assist Canada when a possible War 3 will occur, and we the people of Canada and the land are easy prey. If you do not believe me, just come visit RED Deer shelters and walk around on the trails, go to Vancouver but becareful because random assaults are happening every day, people living in tents, using the streets as toilets, drugs galore, even the police is unable to act nor arrest criminal activities caused by desperate people who need to survive. Canada's economy is about to collapse and fall into a recession. We have too many people coming in our country without checking their back ground and many criminals and terrorist groups are entering declaring refugee status whether it is true or not, we do not know. The people of Canada who work and pay highest taxes are used to house these newcomers and education, jobs, food and money. Our government take better care of these illegal people than their own people especially our youth. So please let us not pretend Canada is a land of opportunity and great. We have to vote for the right leader who will have a very difficult time and challenges to overcome if at all possible and make Canada Great Again!

Where are the Canadian police to deport them to their homeland, India? Those responsible are the ministers of Indian origin, their compatriots who run Canada. They are the ones who brought them here and they are the ones who protect them from expulsion.

The subtle (and not-so subtle) message Trudeau gave was that Canada is a free-for-all. This is the inevitable response. But in reality we don't owe you our country...

Modi's attitude towards Canada is responsible. He is a failed PM. Modi has enemies with all his neighbors. For example. PAKISTAN, CHINA, NEPAL, BURMA ,BANGLADESH and Madeep etc .all are his enemies. Public should replace him with some educated person like Manmohan Singh .

I'm doing just fine in Canada, where I've lived my whole life except for 7 years in Japan. Any difficulties people having comes down to the individual, not a systematic national problem. My rent in Vancouver is under $1000, because I haven't moved in 11 years. I have no debt, no car, no expensive lifestyle, no drug habit. I made good choices. Others have not.\n\nCanada is still a land of opportunity if you get a job, get your vaccines, live within your means and don't expect a 1950s style economy, anyone can do fine. Healthcare access needs improvement, but we had a pandemic. The whole world did. \n\nIf you feel like you can't make it in Canada, you have no one to blame but yourself. Everything is relative. And we are living in the safest, cleanest, most stable times ever. Certainly not the cheapest.\n\nCheers - an NDP/Liberal serial voter (and big believer in personal responsibility)

I’m an international student, from my perspective it seems like the government can’t keep themselves from messing with the economy, basically crippling it by regulations, making the market unable to take advantage of the increased labor supply.\n\nI have spent almost half a million in Canada, which includes tuition, living cost, and starting a business which now employs two Canadians. But because I spent one term as a part time student, I have became ineligible for PGWP, which means I have no way of staying in Canada through my own agencies.\n\nThat is a slap in the face for immigrants whove come here to settle, the fact that I have positively contributed to the Canadian economy than many Canadians ever have, while withdrawing absolutely zero from public benefits, now if I buy a house here yall will drop on me a 50%+ capital gains tax and then kick me out, why would anyone want to invest in Canada? I’m seriously considering just moving to Florida because of all these. \n\nWhat happened to the good old days when you can come here with nothing, integrate into the community, and then become Canadians? Almost none of the forefathers of Canadians had to contribute this much into the society first to become Canadians, they stayed because their peers wanted them to stay, and the market was free to adjust to the labor supply and housing demand without government interference.\n\nWhat I see is not an immigration problem, it’s a big government problem, Canadians have become addicted to the government making decisions for them. The government has its grip on every aspect of Canadian life, it has hindered the responsiveness of the economy so much, that it cant even pivot to take advantage of free capital (int’l students) and third world labor rates (temp foreign workers).

They’re in everywhere Australia, Canada Us, England….Gosh if you have not money or conditions why do you still have 3,4,5 kids. Let’s be responsible. Finally why the Mexico government still accepting flights from Brazil, India, China etc with illegal immigrants to cross the border illegally?

So, who in Canada is going to step up and start the road to housing recovery? Will it be the lumber companies, who charge us more for our own wood than they do the Americans, Europeans and Chinese? Or how about the real estate speculator who HAS to double his profit with every deal so he can appease his greedy wife and spoiled brat kids? Oh, and NO LAND in BC or Ontario will ever be given over to affordable housing. That would be an oxymoron. Land is TOOOO valuable to give it over to NON-PROFIT housing. Fuck that. My kids ain't gonna grow up next to a housing slum. Or, how about the government??? They have the answers don't they? Isn't that why we elect them, put our trust in them, pay our fucking taxes to them?? What say, Government of Canada??? Are you going to step up and solve the problem or just keep giving the rich more incentive to crush the rest of us?? WTF!! Who is in charge and who really cares??? ANYONE??? What about the average able bodied Canadian young man and woman? Would you like a job doing something meaningful and constructive?? How about a career in the building sciences and trades? \nWhat's that? You don't get out of bed for less than 50.00 per hour? And you don't want to work for it, you just want to show up, punch the clock and let your union rep do your bidding for you??? \nFirst: GET A FUCKING EDUCATION, as in learn a trade or profession. Oh, but that would require you to put in the time and earn your skills. What's that? Too much bullshit for you? You just want to show up, do nothing and be handed a pay check of 2 grand a week...JUST FOR BREATHING THE FUCKING AIR??? \nIf you are looking to blame anybody for the state of this nation, just look in the mirror Millennials and Gen Z'ers. The future is right there in front of you, but you are too stupid, too weak and too much of a snow flake to do anything to secure it for yourself? \nSo, when it comes time to retire????....Dont cry when you find out the pension account is empty because you couldn't see past your self indulgence to realize that...\nYOUR FUTURE IS YOURS AND YOURS ALONE TO SECURE. NO BODY ELSE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR WELL BEING. It's all up to you Canada. \nOh, and about that trillion dollar windfall some of you are about to inherit. If anyone thinks that is a good thing, think again. THE WEALTH GAP IS GOING TO GET SO BIG there will never be parody and this will become a 4th world nation where 2 classes are all there is...RICH!!!!! and poor. 99 1/2 % to 1/2 %. That will be the ratio after the great wealth transfer. \nYour world Millennials and Gen Z'ers. Most or all of us will be gone by the time the shit hits the fan. Good luck with the party!

Now Canada GOVT immediately need two point ...If Canada want more immigrants for future ...1...Introduce Affordable Apartment (2 or 3 Bed RM - to give special High Rise FSI ..So builders or Developers can Supply )...Otherwise today or Tomorrow if Canada need more immigrants (High qualified Labour) and not sufficient Houses ..So ..same situation will face in future ...2 ..For Immigrants Doctors & Pharmacist Graduation coarse for 4 Years ..This should change and introduce for only 1 years coarse ...They have already knowledge of their field (So why waste their Time ,Money)....If Canada interested to dump & wants more Immigrants ...Than ...Government also responsibilities to provide citizens ...Housing & Medical supply ...I wonder why last 10 years this two matter (Home & Medical) supply or facilities not consider this Canada Government ..? ..& ..only dumped new immigrants ..Therefore ..Today immigrant students rent one room and share 5 members in one room , + Price going up scarcity of home ..Due to ...This Canadian Government Peculiar Policy .

Mexico isn't your backyard-it's your trade partner.\nThis relationship isn't charity; it's mutually beneficial. Blaming Mexico for substance use issues ignores your responsibility as the largest demand drivers. Treat Mexico like a partner, not an incompetent employee, and take responsibility for your share of the problem. Blaming Mexico for the fentanyl issue is like an alcoholic blaming the bottle shop, even junior is an coke addict Claudia Sheinbaum has more balls than Donald Trump. It's about time someone stood up to n Trump and promised him a dose of his own medicine. Well done Mexico. Trump claims to be a gifted negotiator, but all he is is a self-glorifying bully. Claudia Sheinbaum has more balls than\nDonald\nTrump. But it is not Mexico and Canada who has a drug problem. It is America:) Americans don't realize how much they have advanced and grown, and know nothing of their marvelous culture. My president is an award winning environmental scientist with MULTIPLE degrees. We got it right!\nViva Mexico ??

Mexico or Canada's response to Trump tariffs mean nothing. Mexico and Canada will do what they're told or be completely cut out of the American economy. Mexico and Canada take orders they do not give them. Dollar for dollar free trade, after that 100% tariffs.

4:25 USA, a tit-for-tat response is the least thing to worry about. Trump is a lame duck for these 4 years, pkus JD Vance has good reasons to ... dispose of Trump and take control. So, how about giving Canada and Mexico 2 months to divert 10% of USA food and energy to other markets as retaliation to stupidity. Better still, we could crush your Christmas with 15% higher costs on most thing, plus partner eith China to divert USA inventory to our ports. This could be really bad for dumb Trumpers.

Still trying to figure out why other countries are responsible for the American border???? \nIt will be interesting to see what the independent free trade agreement between Canada and Mexico is going to look like...

So if Mexico and Canada somehow stop the flow of fentanyl into the United States \nis Trump in return going to bring in adequate gun control laws so that the flow of smuggled American guns into Mexico and Canada is stopped?\nMexico and Canada should demand that in return.\nSmuggled American guns are responsible for a huge proportion of the shootings and murders in Mexico and in Canada.\n\nAnd I doubt very much that there is significantly more fentanlyl entering the United States from Canada than is entering Canada from the United States.\n\nAnd completely stopping the flow of fentanlyl sounds like magic.\nIt's impossible.\n\nAnd the whole reason for the movement of fentanlyl is the demand in the United States \nso even if Mexico and Canada could completely stop the flow of fentanlyl \nthere will still be fentanlyl in the United States - either imported or produced in the United States.\n\nI don't believe that Trump doesn't really cares about fentanlyl addicts.\nHe just wants an excuse to be a bully and to express his xenophobia.\nWho believes Trump really cares about fentanlyl addicts? Nobody.

So we import Lumber, oil, cars, and more from Canada. So gas is going up Lumber is going up, and cars are going up. The last Trump admin Trump hit Canada with a 25% Tariff on steel, Canada then slapped in response a 25% and dollar for dollar Tariff on US products. I'll say it again Trump does NOT know what a Tariff is or works. So if your in a hurricane state and are re-building your getting hit with a 25% plus increase.

Not only agents students but canadas immigration and governments is responsible for this big scam. They are also accountable for this.

It's pointless blaming agents and agencies you have to seriously blame the indian families who are equally responsible to pay anything do anything to bribe to get their visas to go to Canada so nobody believes they are victims of fraud they knew right from the beginning they had got it by paying money

Sir only present govt is responsible for such a tragic position.why they called lot of immigrants and students out side of canada if they have not infrastructure enough in canada.they invited students to gain lot of money as a fees to run their education industry....fees of students are 4 time more in comparison of canedian citizen....now they argue college invited theses student but its a reality ircc is responsible for giving them final student visa ...keep in this mind.

Justin Trudeau you're too late to take this decision because the damage is already done by your stupid 'diversity'. You are going to be held responsible for the immigration debacle in Canada under 'diversity' scheme. You have brought a wrath to Canada.

Fleeing the states because of Trump means thier in that country illegally, its amazing how they think they can come to Canada your not our problem we don't want you don't need you or are you our responsibility so go back to your own country as a Canadian First Nation's that's how I feel

Trudeau shouldn’t be taking “some” responsibility over the immigration debacle, Trudeau should be taking 100% responsibility for his role in creating this huge problem for Canada!\n\nHe is the one who allowed these loopholes, of course these sham colleges will take advantage! \n\nGah we have a baboon for a PM.

Trudeau is the biggest mistake Canada has ever made. He accepts no responsibility for the mess he has created.

TRUDEAU is responsible for all the immigration problems!!! Canada is broken and TRUDEAU is responsible. Time to go.

Problems of other countries we are not responsible. Canada cant even solve the opiates problem in most major cities in the country. And yet, to solve these problems canada is actually asking for more problems. Does that make sense?

No. \nNo housing, health care is down to a crawl, the blatant disrespect towards Canada from immigrants. \nNo more.\nOur own goof of a PM admitted they made a bit of a mistake. He’s underplaying it. \nThat administration decided it was better to bring in countless immigrants with no plan for housing. \nNow I get 3 bags of groceries for over $200, rent is ridiculously high, water, heat, electricity, the list goes on.\n\nPeople that come from other countries also have the audacity to burn the Canadian flag and demand the government do something to help out their mother country. Want to do something for your past country? Go back there and volunteer your time or donate your money to relief organizations. Why is it the Canadian governments responsibility to help out a country before helping its own people!\nEnough is enough

We shouldn’t be preparing for an influx we need to prepare to close our borders. No more asylum seekers into Canada. Our resources are for the people that pay for them not for those who come here to benefit from our better standard of living. Fix things back home and then immigrate through the proper channels. We don’t need tent cities full of asylum seekers. For those that want to let all those people in then they have to go sign up to take responsibility for them with consequences if they don’t. I would bet the lineup for that would be very short.

Don't know why you feel Canadiens hate you, that's BS. What we do hate is the fact that Canada is in big trouble, being run by a criminal government making Canadians look for food in garbage bins. Yet India thinks coming here will ne a better life but instead immigrants by coming here takes away what we don't already have. We hold YOU responsible for ignoring our suffering and not stopping your own people from coming here and making things worse. WHY? Because you don't care when you should

Thanks for the locals response. but every body clearly knows that their kindness is NOT weakness. Do playing anything fool Canada, do something useful for god sake.

Pathetic. Whoever is responsible for this needs to be jailed. POOR CANADA.

My life has already been ruined. We need to freeze immigration, cleanup the immigrants you have already let in. I’m all for immigration, but just like everything else there’s a responsible way of doing something and a negligent way. And Trudeau. You’ve f’d Canada for all young and old Canadians. You’ve already destroyed all of our lives

Trudeau is China’s man in canada , and Jagmeet is a terrorist in the mask of a Canadian . Both are worst politicians who are responsible for the dire state of canada . Traitor Trudeau and Terrorist Jagmeet have to be thrown away from this country .

Sikh man was a convicted terr$#@st which canada gave refuge to and destroyed diplomatic relations with india on\n\nPoint 2 - Not just Indian Govt opposes seperate land for sikhs of India, we the sikhs of India overwhelmingly rejected this notion in mid 80's... So BBC please show responsibility and accountability while painting any narrative ! Also learn to state facts NOT itoned out narratives ...please ..

With the implicit backing of the Government of Canada, some Sikh citizens in Canada are constantly interfering in India's internal matters, attempting to destabilize the country. In response, India has no choice but to protect its territorial integrity. Canada has not provided any evidence regarding the murder of an individual designated as a terrorist by Indian authorities. On the contrary, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau misused India's hospitality by inviting a known terrorist to a dinner held in his honor during his state visit to India.

These shameless people are giving shelter to khalistani terrorists and criminals with serious charges and acting as an innocent and responsible person... Canada is a safe haven for global terrorists and seperatists.

Someone has to take responsibility of homelessness in Canada like a business firm that coordinate with the government and run it as a business.

In Canada, there is not enough housing and jobs are scarce, especially for anyone at the entry level or basic wage. We've been absolutely swamped. This is not the fault of the immigrants or the students, it's the fault of our extremely stupid and short sighted government. Most of those immigrants I encounter are good people, polite and considerate. But some, well I understand where the complaints about rude and inconsiderate behaviour come from, because it only takes a few bad experiences to get people angry. I've experienced it myself, but most of it (from my experience) seems to be from students who are very loud and impolite on public transit. The housing situation here is INSANE, prices are sky high and very little to choose from. A lot of seniors now can only afford to rent a room (after having worked all their lives and very little to show for it), and prices are up about 50% from only 5 years ago. The government says inflation is a fraction of what it is in real life, and living expenses have exploded. As I understand it, some people made a lot of money offering services to bring students and low wage workers in, with no consideration to the damage they were doing to all of us who were born and raised here - they wanted to make their million dollars. Another problem is that once someone arrives here, what they find is NOT what they were led to believe. What students and immigrants are told they need to live here is an absolute lie, living here in Canada has become very expensive. Many workers are severely under paid, and never even see the legal minimum wage, and the problem with that is, almost no Canadian will be hired on to those jobs - the reasons are that imported foreign workers will work below minimum wage because they are trapped here, and the Canadians already know that they will only struggle if they take jobs that pay so poorly. So yes, a lot of Canadians are VERY angry, and you really can't blame them. Once again, the Canadian government is responsible for much of this, and crooked employers who are willing to take advantage of low wage labour. It's an absolute mess.

Canadian Government should take action on those responsible agencies or individuals in Canada.

Canada is one of the best countries in the world. If you can’t make a good life for yourself here, you won’t be able to do it anywhere. Just a bunch of losers who don’t take responsibility for their own lives. Love living in Canada.

13 K international students should NEVER be allowed to apply for asylum. Canada does not need any of them. GO HOME Canada has no moral responsibility to welcome anyone into the country. I believe Justin Trudeau has a moral responsibility to take care and make sure Canadians come first.
