I have always wondered, why people think Canada is some kind of utopia? It is just another country full of people and people are assholes.

I think Justin Trudeau wants more taxpayers. That is why he's inviting people to flood Canada. Those who move there without knowing the cost of living there, are going to be shocked when they see what things cost. \n\nDue to high Canadian price, a lot of Canadians cross into the US to do grocery shopping, and fill up their cars with gasoline. Besides sales tax, Canada also has VAT.

Non-citizens have no right to sneak into to any other nation... why is this a difficult concept for some? Just like Canada, go to an official POE and go through the official process. This doesn't guarantee one status, but it at least doesn't make you a criminal... and to those who shout that illegals didn't know... total BS... most of their own home nations are more strict than the US and/or Canada on illegal border crossings, many of them shooting first and asking questions later...

You couldn't even be bothered to learn English in 15 yrs seriously ? You could have become a legal immigrant in that time but now it's everybody's fault America, Canada. You reap what you sow. The decisions you have made are on you. You did this to your family not my country or president.

Anyway, Canada has one of the highest taxes in the world and it’s freezing cold 10 months out of the year. I don’t know why anyone would want to live here!

Send them back to Mexico! Canada should be tougher than the USA on Illegals. Canada should make illegals pay 100k if granted legal status to show they are worth keeping.

Can't make it in El Salvador, can't make it in the USA, can't make it in Canada....starting to see a trend here......CAN'T MAKE IT!!!

Trudeau, with his forked tongue, not only misleads natural born Canadians, but he also takes advantage of these immigrants. While ripping off the Canadian taxpayers to support the immigrants, he is ripping off the immigrants with false hope. Other than the radicalized muslims. Those just disappear into the land and join up with the many radical training camps within Canada's borders and nothing is done about that.

Did Canada take his kids away?

people who sneak into Canada illegally think we will not apply our laws yet they act surprised when we do....when we change our government next year, we definitely will apply the laws of our land.

Let's let Canada defend the free world and we can spend our trillions of borrowed money on new welfare projects. That's a progressive plan that might work out well. The question is who it works out for, isn't it?

So basically the leftist leadership of Canada has tougher immigration laws than the US does.

Say it ain’t so Canada . What a hypocrite

seemly...canada just welcome radical refugees...if you are muslim from middle east.ex isis..then canada will give you status with speedy process of immigration for landed immigrant\nthats the reason why you can find a bunch of arab immigrants from middle east like afghanistan somalia bosnia iraq sudan ,syiriah

Why seek asylum in Canada aren't they going crazy to get here

If you have a misdemeanor Canada fucks with you @the border

The us and Canada have homeless and gangs....stand your ground I’ve been threatened too

Canada don't be a racist like trump, he himself is a result of immigrants. I'm glad to know you guys a are better open welcome to Canada. Does the average American even know the difference between migration and immigration??? Sadly no but the hard truth as non American immigrants is that they will sacrifice their lives along with children for a better future. Seeking manual labor to start from the bottom up. Any American born lazy ass can claim foodstamps and be ok. I like nicer things in life and I've worked my ass for the better life I have. its will in life not God given right.

Canada has a tougher immigration system than the US. It’s a skill based immigration system (doctors, engineers, etc). At least US allows a shitload more family sponsorship immigration. Canada is full of shit

Good , hope Canada keep them. We are sick of them! Go home to your country! Do hoy get welfare, college for free, section 8. Who cares, go home and make a living in your country.. NOTHING is free, not even for Americans.

Canada uses their brain, the USA doesn't. They do it right, we do it wrong. America where we know what to do we just never do it.

Some justice for people waiting sometimes years to legally enter Canada. Illegal immigration must be treated as it is: Illegal. And really? 15 years in the US and not speaking English; not a strong case for willingness to integrate

I always thought of Canada as being a very tolerant country. It's even worse than the U.S. Very disappointed to find it is not.

No, I leave in Canada for ten years. It was always like that, but more hiding. The blacks always discriminated by all the other nation.

Well at least he's Canada's problem now. hope his family goes too

Something that most people don't know, is that USA doesn't hold the toughest immigration policy in the world. That would be either Canada, Australia or any major European country. They all promise to be friendly to immigrants, but they do the opposite of what they say and they still have the nerve to criticise Trump.

If these Muslim women do harm to you, you can not identify them because not only is their hair covered, even their faces are covered. I personally feel uneasy when I am with individuals whose faces and heads are covered up whatever their religion is. They can see my face and hair fully but I can not identify them because they hide their faces, hair and whole body behind the nikab and hijab and burka. It seems as if they are always undercover or involved in something covert because they hide their faces and cover their whole body ,What you see are only their eyes. It is very disconcerting. If these Muslims want to practice their religion freely without anybody telling them off, they should live in MUslim countries and not in Canada, Europe and USA where society is mostly secular with Judeo-Christian heritage.

Do things correctly following the rules like thousands of hundreds are doing. Canada does not welcome que jumpers.

How much is a gallon of Milk in Canada compared to USA? Like every day things for cost of living?

Honestamente bro nadie te dijo que aplicaras en Canada te la jugaste y perdiste es todo .

Sorry man ya gamble wrong should have stayed in USA people think Canada is such a great place for illegal immigrants but think again.

Why would Canada have to accept all those illegal immigrants,because they can't get work in their country,then they illegally cross our border and,,hey they don't want me in USA then Canada you give me work,,go you asshol true proper Chanel like every legal immigrants and only then you can ask for work and be accepted in this beautiful country,period!

Wow! People are actually realizing that Canada has immigration laws.

go in other countries and see how they behave ... racism is ture .. canada dont let 3rd world in they''ll destroy you

Farmers in Canada are building an army to send all these Muslims home can't wait for that to happen

CANADA NEEDS TO ARREST ALL MUSELEMS AND SEND THEM BACK TO WHERE THEY COME FROM. JUST LIKE AMERICA IS GOING TO DO. IF YOU DON'T THEN THERE BLOOD IS YOURS WILL YOU CHOOSE WISELY. OR IS NO YOUR FINAL ANSWER. THERE RELIGEON IS FAKE THERE PROFIT IS FALSE THE CORAN IS A CONGLOMERATION OF LIES. NO ONE BELIEVES THAT ISLAM IS GOD SENT. IT CAN'T PASS THE QUALIFICATIONS OF A RELIGEON. THE AGE OF THE PROFITS WAS OVER WHEN JESUS CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED. AND A NEW COVENANT WAS ESTABLISHED AND A NEW AGE OF CHRISTIANITY BEGAN. SO MOHAMID IS NOT A PROFFIT ISLAM IS A FALSE RELIGEON.

if you got rejected of your political asylum claim in USA then most likely you will be rejected as well in Canada

Have I got this right? He has been an illegal in US for 10 years then because he felt unsafe with Trumps changes he uprooted his family and tried to stay in Canada. Yet he speaks to his family in Spanish?? Why?? If his kids were born in the US their first language should be English and he should have learned it by now too. No attempt whatsoever to integrate and become American. I can't feel any sympathy for him

The Canadian Government does not care who or where there from to let into Canada at the end of the day its all about the dollar . The more people they let in the more money they can borrow from the international bankers , we are all on a big farm and slaves to the Government . Study what money is all about and how it is used and you will understand how this world government works.

hopfully him and his family stay in Canada the US doesn't need anymore illegal aliens living here not paying any taxes and getting government aid extra

This is sad, however this man knew he was breaking the law when he brought himself and his family into the US illegally and then into Canada. It’s hard to feel sorry for someone who is trying to undermine policy and law. Many ppl in prison are separated from their families too, should we start releasing them because it’s sad to see families be apart?

Well, I am not going to generalize all people in the same category. There are good and bad people everywhere in the world but being first generation immigrant in Canada is really hard in every part of life. First, even you are fluent in English you will have an accent that makes big difference in your job hunting, making friends and get along with different people. Many times, I have been treated on the basis of how I look and on the basis of my accent.

I can't wait to get to Canada been in US my whole life

It’s sad and disgusting to read the comments by all these privileged entitled little bit.ches who’s greatest accomplishment in life was being born on a different part of the the world than this man and they feel they have the right to open their mouths with such righteousness. What would you do for your family or at least for yourself if you were born in a country where there was poverty and crime every single day of your childhood. This guy was MAN enough to risk his life to leave his country leaving family behind just so that he didn’t die. And I know what your first ignorant comment is gonna be “he could’ve done it legally”. No he couldn’t because if he could I’m sure he would have done it. And he even tried to do it legally here in Canada and spent $15K and was denied. But here you all sit behind a keyboard all brave with your privileged entitled life judging a man who all he wants is a better life for his family. And to the “men” who are commenting and judging this man as “an everyday criminal” I guess you wouldn’t give a s.hit for your wives and kids if they were living in a dangerous and poor country or being sent back to an environment where you could potentially be killed the first week you’re back. I guess you would all just say “fu.ck them let them die”. You fu.c.king cowards.

this is canada, the banks should have a say in that

I another documentary that I saw that Hispanics are doing well in Canada

Look at Vice News cry because Canada isn't America's refugee dumping ground. We need to be selective with who we bring in because we only have a population of 35 million, even a small number of newcomers has a large impact on our society. \nSincerely, a Canuck

I would love to move to Canada or the US but sadly i don't have the qualifications or money.... or the new prerequisite to being allowed in.... I'm not brown :(

You need to accept that Canada, United States, and other countries do not want you. Take your loss and go back to El Salvador. Make your money back.

Obviously he does lmao Canada sucks
