there are dozens of flaws in Canada's immigration system. I am surprised to see that a person who has not spent a single minute in Canada enters the country as a permanent resident . has not paid a single dollar in taxes enters as a permanent resident. has not played his part in Canada's society and doesn't know fuck about Canada enters as a permanent resident of Canada. it does not surprise me to see people commenting about residents living in Canada do not speak English. \n \nI will give an example of the UK here which is far more developed than Canada and have very high standards. first of all, no one can enter the UK as a permanent resident of the UK. even if their partner is British, they will still come to the UK on a visa. depending on how much their British partner earns, it will take 5 to 10 years for them to settle in the UK, provided they pass the residency test in the UK(which Canada does not ask for whether you are in Canada applying for a PNP or PR or you come directly from another part of the world). a person who gets in the UK as a student spends minimum 7 years, if he is not married to a British /EU national to get a PR, most spend 10 for a UK PR(known as ILR in the UK) provided they pass the test for English and life in the UK (citizenship test). in return, the UK offers to its residents what no other nation offers. canada is giving away residencies as if its a leaflet. it's easier to get a Canadian residency than it is to extend a skilled visa in the UK. I have lived in Canada and felt that standard of living in canada is not very high as compared to the UK. so if Canada offers easy residency to people, it is only because they also know they are not giving away something precious :)

Go home!!! Didn't bother to become a US citizen for 15 years, didn't bother to learn English, then came to Canada hoping we'll welcome him with open arms and a nice free house to live in. Piss off, maybe in your next life you'll try harder to be a legitimate citizen in the country you choose to live.

Canada has a very high standard of living, it's not exactly welcoming to people who are not familiar with that status. If you don't come prepared or think it's all gravy you're delusional, life is hard anywhere you go. We just benefit the very lazy with many welfare programs, that you can take advantage of, honestly, or dishonestly whom i know many who abuse the system.

Although it’s been almost a year since this was posted, but Canada is in fact a free country, many people speak their own language and that’s alright, this is truly upsetting to even see the way this lady acts because she’s a grown woman, she should act like her age, our country is multi cultural, many people of many backgrounds live here and the fact she lashed out these people is ridiculous, she should just mind her own business and move on with her own life, stop interfering in others peoples lives

All you people criticizing Canada for being a gentle Government. do you realize your stupidity. It's like you are demanding your own surveillance State.\nWe are happy to be able to be gentle. yes there are predators in life and they aim to exploit others. We also have peopple who's job it is to find these people and stop them.

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 😔😔

Why people think China will rule the world when it's citizens want a better life in places like Canada and America. There freedom is imaginary in China. Most of the people there are living in poor and poverty lifestyle. They see the 300 million who are making it, while the other 1 billion are not. No freedom of religion, freedom of openness, freedom to be able to do what you want. The only thing people have to watch out from China is, if it explodes then the world will have to feed those 1 billion who are now presently on the last leg and if strive continues massive starvation that will be worst than what happen in North Korea. The dragon is running out of smoke and fire.

Is that supposed to be a scandal?\n\nWe accept illegal immigrant crossing the border from USA and we put them in hotels, give them even more money than we give to people who paid the government all their life.\n\nWe put an immigrant as the immigration minister.\n\nAnd after that we are supposed to be surprised about something like that?\n\nI would send Ahmed Hussen back in his original country. \n\nI would send those who cross the border illegally directly in prison in shackles and leave their belonging where they stand. I would give them a treatment similar the country they come from, not a five star hotel treatment. Then send every illegal immigrant in their country. Strip immigrant, facilitating illegal immigration, from the citizenship and ban them from entering Canada for 10 years and ban them from ever getting citizenship.\n\nBut we don't ever strip someone of his Canadian citizenship if they committed crimes.\n\nBUT COMMON SENSE IS NOT THE STRENGTH OF THE LIBERALS. \nWE HAVE A CRIMINAL AS A PRIME MINISTER.

Fraud is prevalent in Canada because their judicial system is too soft! They need harsher penalties to deter criminals. In fact the Crime Minister of Canada Trudeau should be imprisoned for life for his treacherous acts against his country and to his people!

And here I am watching this after I arrived home in the Philippines after a 2 years work permit and contract in Edmonton Alberta when my work permit renewal was rejected by immigration Canada and there is this fraud immigration thing. Well atleast I did my luck in an honest way rather than doing it the wrong way. I'd rather live a hard life here in the Philippines than living the Canadian dream illegally. I want to thank the canadians for being good to during my 2 years stay in Canada. I will never forget that exprerience and specially my all time favorite triple triple dark roast from Tim Hotons. lol..?

Canada is curpt it’s not even country anymore it’s corporation and it’s curpt I lost eveything I worked hard all my life now male my family is slave

Some people say come in legally, but he can't seek asylum just because he wanted to protect his family or want a better life for his children. It doesn't work that way. He has to have documentations or proof that his life or family's life is in DANGER. That is why he can't come in legally because he will not be approve on just those conditions, surprisingly even in Canada. When Trump was tough on the illegals on our southern borders, I remembered seeing Canada PM said they are welcomed in Canada. I guess many people heard it too and took him up on his offer. What happened Trudeau having to eat crow, eh?

life is unfair these people are who canada trust and welcome while destroy my relationship with myself and my mother..

put the liberals in here\n\nthey'll justify his life and people like him, why not just deport all the liberals??? does canada even have them?

7 years is not enough,is this a joke?stripped these people of there citizenship and deport them. Then ban for life in Canada.

I don't care what race you are, what religion you follow or what the reason for leaving your country is. You're welcome here in Canada AS LONG AS you respect our way of life, you assimilate into our culture and you don't try and change our country to better suit yourself. If you wish to do any of those 3 things, you're not welcome here. It's that simple. Our ancestors broke away from a tyrannical monarchy and created this society. If you think the rest of the world is welcome to come and try and destroy that, I wish you good luck because you will not win. We are a CHRISTIAN nation, period. I'm not religious in the slightest, but my personal beliefs mean nothing and change nothing in this regard.

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.!

May be in future Canada will be like Iraq ?? and Syria ?? ISIS WILL RULE CANADA ?? SOON SOON SOON \nCANADA ?? IS FINISH SOON \nGOD SHOULD HELP PRAYING ?? TO GOD TO GIVE BETTER LIFE PEOPLE IN CANADA ??

In spite of his hardship, in his own country, he was able to save up $15,000 US dollars? Incredible! With that amount of money you can buy a life of a king, down there, why the hell spend it all to come to Canada only to live from paycheck to paycheck? I'd much rather stay where the cost of living is cheap and....and you can save up $15,000 US dollars! In fact, I think I will move down there. He's proven that you can raise a family there and save up incredible amounts of money.

This is not true. And now that the Government of Canada has hid it, I can no longer prove it. However, not only did my MP admit that they get close to 2500 dollars per month for the first year and sometimes longer. They are automatically authorized for a loan. And hey, 50,000 for a family is enough for a downpayment, while we can sit here working all our lives and never be able to buy a house. But they are automatically authorized. So the question is, why is it profittable to bring in refugees? Maybe if the government gave me 50,000 or 2500 per month, and or they gave me easier loans....I would have already been profiting Canada in many ways. Other than trying to work hard and when I can't get a job, because I am not part of a minority group, collecting ei or assistance and never getting anywhere in my life.

It wont be surprising if I find Canada turning into Islamic Republic during my life. Many European countries are still doing the same mistakes...these mistakes are fatal....

Ye 5000 kamane wale wahin Canada main ache hain . Stores main kaam kero petrol pump pe petrol Bharo. Airport pe safai kero this is a Bitter truth . 90% are living this life ?

I have been to both Alberta and B.C and they are the most boring places I have ever been in my life. This woman's behaviour may have been triggered by overwhelming boredom. I would not be surprised at all if the entire population went mad with it and started acting out in the same stupid and bizarre way as this woman. Canada is ripe for fascism.

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.

my heart breaks for all the Latin American people who wish to come to the US or Canada for a better life. ???

Canada is a merit and point based country. Chain migration is about to end in USA. It was popular in florida, 1 family from cuba, and they bring. aunts, uncles, sisters,brothers, mothers, and father's. Do you see why chain migration has to stop because USA can no longer support welfare recipient's for life. We are done, we need to collect lost taxes from these welfare bleeders.

All illegal immigrants and so-called refugees have the right to come to Canada for better life.

I feel zero compassion for illegals they are not refugees or immigrants lets get this clear. They leave for better materials like nice things cell phones cars homes. Or to work illegally and send money back and live like kings tax free. Unless ur life and your families life is in danger or rhere own government will punish u with your life u will not be accepted here in the United states or in Canada stop coming here missing your court dates after being denied and then fleeing to another country all for what free hand outs its all about the hand outs free shit

Lived illegally in the US....his kids have Ipdas ,he drives a car that looks over 20k in price but still goes to canada for a better life.....and after 15 years of living in an english speaking nation he is giving interviews in spanish .....yet he can;t conceive that the US or Canada wont just let him in.

I understand wanting a better life for your family.//but lets be honest, his kids are not even near the age for the length of time he has ILLEGALLY been in the USA! Now he wants to come to Canada and try his luck at citizenship here,...ALSO ILLEGALLY!? Sorry Jose,...get packing! I do not feel sorry for you!

Just imagine we heard this immigrant's sad story regarding just wanting a better life for his family. Some people will feel some compassion and say screw you Trudeau or Trump, let them all in, they just want to work, they are not criminals, screw laws, we are all immigrants here blah, blah blah. Let's not forget there are thousands and thousands maybe millions that has the same sad story and the same dream. If Canada don't build a wall, it will end up like America and have all sorts of immigration issues.

you need a certain amount of money to live on for 2 years plus job prospect plus no criminal record a good edjucation to come here legally so Canadians that pay super high taxes do not need to worry about taking care of people that think they can just come here and exspect its people.to support them and there families .You cant get welfare for 2 years either.We need to keep Canada a.smart and wealthy country .Yes we can help some in very bad situations but we are.only as strong as our weakest people . We need the best to be the best.To many people.think they can just come here because they feel like.it and they think they will have a easy life.\nWe.dont want any blood suckers only.good hard woking people.If that isnt you dont come because you wont be welcomed .If you are a good person then welcome to Canada and help us build this country and leave the bs that you left where you came from becauae we dont want it here..\nthanku

The two women that cover their face claim to be just like you in everyday life except one thing Canadian women don't migrate to the middle east and bring their ideology, but the\nmiddle east has no problem coming to Canada with theirs!

I pray for these Families that are fleeing the oppression and violence of their home land.. These are the people I hope receive the chance at a better life.. No decent human being could hear a mother plea for her children, & not feel it in your heart, great compassion!! At the same time, Canada is not all lollipops and rainbows.. I'm a former crown ward and now first hand, that not everybody here is sweet and kind.. They can have a more passive aggressive way of screwing a person over.. You may deal with 2faced people.. That seem like a friend, but aren't really hoping for the best for you.. Some of them enjoy asserting their authority over you! You have to pray you'll have decent people working on your case.. It'll be the luck of the draw,, rather than rhyme or reasoning, that grants or denies them..

Throw them out of Canada . Western culture cannot and will never get along. They need the dollar and clean life style. No loyalty to canada.

The difference between the 60,000 Vietnamese boat people that came to Canada and the current wave of refugees is that the boat people were by and large law abiding people who are willing to accept our law, customs, culture and way of life. Several of my close friends are boat people. The current wave of refugees want Canada to adopt their way of life, some are abusive to local residence and are disrespectful to our culture, their neighbours and damage the hotels that they stay in when they first set foot in this country. I am all for accepting refugees. But send them back if they refuse to integrate into our society.

tell the truth, why have them here in the first place in give them assistant,their are no jobs,no housing for them, they put them in hotels for $200 a night, every thing is free for them ,but if you are canadian you dont qualify.if your kid is over 18 in cant find work and lives at home ,he does not qualify for assistance,he has to be living else where for 1 year, what a country we live in, refugees ,have more rights then some one living in canada their whole life,this country has gone to pot,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

As anti-Christian sentiment grows Christians respond in kind. I dare you tell of the incident in Toronto, Ontario, Canada when a girl did not wear the Garment of Peace and Love so her father and brother performed Death of Peace and Love---the condemned must see life ending and feel great pain so they strangled her with the Garment of Peace And Love,

Its amazing to me that people give Trump a hard time about his tweets, when in reality it is our own Prime Minister whose tweets have actually changed people's lives. Telling asylum seekers that they are welcome in Canada and have them set out on a long, expensive journey because you have no clue how the laws work is the most irresponsible thing Trudeau could have done. Trudeau has never been held accountable for anything in his life. He is a complete buffoon!

How could you not inform yourself to the best of your ability so that you are prepared? My mother looked into everything, gave up everything, to come to Canada. It was tough, but did it so that the kids she would have would be Canadian, a country she believed in. \nI’m so proud to be Canadian, and for us to be a country that welcomes all, but those that come should inform themselves of the processes and try to learn the culture, not just have it as a ‘better life’ ticket.

I ask Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: why this human rights activist who lives here in Toronto fears for her life? She fears that hardcore Muslims will attack her. Mister Trudeau, is she Islamophobic? \n\nAlso, she says a large number of Canadian Muslims sympathize with ISIS. Mister Trudeau, is sympathizing with ISIS acceptable to you? \n\nIf Niqab and Hijab wearing Muslims feel threatened in Canada, why did they choose to come to Canada? Why did they leave their countries where they were all safe and happy? Ask these questions to every Muslim woman. \n\nWake up Canadians! Stand up to liberals who are destructing the hard-earned advancement in human civilization! Stand up now before it is all lost, before it is too late....

Canada is a newborn baby. She has never faced tragedies like India. No great famine, no slavery, no serious war, never attacked or invaded . If the fate turns otherwise, I don't know how many of these neo-Canadians will pay the due with their life and blood to protect the honor of their kind adopted nation.

I LOVE Canada! I live in the US and have dealt with racism my whole life. It was not until I went to Toronto that I felt completely free of discrimination. It was so amazing to feel NOTHING for the first time in my life!\n\nPlus the women are so beautiful!

Canada is a joke, they went in the same train as Sweeden, I BET the working class is loving their taxes are going to the terrorists and human traficking business, so they can live luxuous lifes while canadians work their ass out xD

It's very easy to say I proud on my India and I love my India but the reality of life in India very terrible and very bad.\nNow the situation is like rich people getting more rich and poor people going more worst poor\nAnd in future India have nothing but increasing prices of Dollar currency & euro & pound \nmassive corruptions...cases &\nWe pay tax but we don't know where our tax money goes still we have dirty roads and no proper women safety & i shame to say this capital of India Delhi city is the rape capital city of India.\nIncreasing price of petrol desil & gas....Hindu & Muslims fightings.\nThat's why millions of people specially from north India and all over India want to go other country like Canada & never wanna come back & cool weather for Indians not a big deal if you ware three to four layers for four months that sets

Yeah ok you people are living there for better education system, infrastructure, good quality of life but one thing never forget that you guys are basically indian and never forget it, love canada but don't criticise your own motherland ( india) jai hind ( yad kro kurbani apne ancestors jinhone hme azad kraya) proud to be indian

I can't even risk my life because of Canada

Fine example of the result of a result of irresponsible tweets of a PM that has NO concept of the actual workings of a real govt and the will of the people. Canada has a long history of welcoming immigrants as our young country was built on this premise. However they were immigrants that came here to start a new life beneficial to themselves and the country. This flood of “”irregular “ (read as illegal) cue jumpers only jam up the system that our out of touch PM chose to ignore.

People migrate because they hate India and want to live a lavish life. But, unfortunately they are least bothered about changing india. A person who goes and likes other country flag and anthem cannot be a citizen of country of origin. They will lick white testicles to live in Canada.

I am disgusted this low life piece of shit is the prime minister of Canada. \nAs a Canadian I wish he would get assassinated.
